You said “If it wasn’t for media outlets like Fox, the public wouldn’t hear anything about many of the important issues of the day.

The NYT broke the story, thus “if it wasn’t for media outlets like Fox” part of your post is just false, right? If Fox did nothing, we would still know about this “scandal.” Or, are you saying that the New York Times is “a media outlet like Fox?” ---

This place is troll paradise; look at the attention he gets in every thread he posts in. As long as he can stay within the right side of the rules, he’s in for the long haul. He’s now just another one of our racist, liberal baiting regulars. (post shortened) ALL LIVES MATTER. Since you’ve called me a racist, I believe this is a good time to remind racists, like yourself, that all lives matter and you’ll just have to learn to live with that fact. ---

> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > And why not? What do you see in Fox that makes it an outlet for legitimate reporting in a way MSNBC is not? MSNBC/Sharpton led lynch mobs over the Martin/Zimmerman story. They weren’t reporting the news - they were making the news. And they repeatedly lied that travon martin was carrying ice tea. MSNBC repeatedly lied about Chris Christi’s involvement with Bridgegate. As it turned out, it was the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey that rearranged the lanes to the toll booths. MSNBC tried but MSNBC lied. MSNBC is the lowest of the media outlets but they seem to like it there. ---

MSNBC tried but MSNBC lied. > > MSNBC is the lowest of the media outlets but they seem to like it there. I watched a lot of MSNBC coverage of Bridgegate. They were “just asking questions,” like you do. They never stated Christie was involved, they were just covering the story. You know, like people wonder if there “might be more” to the Clinton email “scandal” without saying there is or isn’t. Turns out, two of Christie’s top aides might have been caught up in this mess. As I recall, they were indicted. MSNBC has a progressive slant in what they decide to cover (Maddow, for example has a thing for oil train derailments) but as far as I can tell, they are factually accurate at the highest rate in the business. ---

Since BLM shouts down anyone who says, “All Lives Matter”, says that anyone who says, “all lives matters” is a racist, doesn’t believe in Bernie Sanders’s free speech, doesn’t care if voters came to hear Sanders or Martin O’Malley, chant “Pigs in a blanket fry 'em like bacon” (aka Kill cops), and based their organization on the repeated lies told about a Ferguson cop who defended himself against an attack by a very large, petty criminal, I think the group should be called “Only Black Lives Matter”. ---

I can understand what talking _about_ doorhinge may be useful, since he’s clearly a cautionary example and might have some minor scientific value as does the pond scum one might have put under a microscope, but talking _to_ him is clearly a waste of time and effort, as would be talking to the pond scum one might have put under a microscope. ---
