Interesting fact of the day... If you put a new born baby under water they will instinctually know to hold their breath until they come to the surface. It is called the Mammalian Dive Reflex and infact engages all sorts of different responses from the heart, to blood flow to the spleen.

@freemo Did he celebrate when #Trump did the same thing, or complain when it was one of the first things #JoeBiden rescinded? I’m curious.

Wait till she finds all the porn!

> Again, you didn’t read the article and you are now making incorrect statements about it. You’re also making some pretty misguided assumptions about me. Ironic.

I have made no assertions about the content of the article. I made assertions about the agency, the headline and first line... the rest of the article I made **no** claims about... so why would i have to read the whole article when im not commenting on the rest of the article?

> Go read the entire article. And click on the link titled “Save the Children Convoy.” Read that one, too. They bring the receipts.

Bringing receipts to justify your opinion or bias doesnt change the fact that you express opinion or bias. So that wouldnt change the fact that it lacks journalistic integrity.

If a journalist says "Bob murdered bill, and bob is a horrible person".. while "bob is a horrible person" is an opinion I agree with, and "bob murdered bill" may be a statement of fact with proof shown... none of that changes the fact taht the conclusion of "bob is a horrible person" is an expression of opinion (drawn from facts, but still an opinion). Thus has no place in journalism... Doubly so if your website is "News on murderers so we can bring awareness to how shitty murderers are"... like yea I agree with the cause, but thats nor journalism, thats activism.

> I don’t agree with your assertion that an ideological leaning negates reliability in journalism.

Simply having an ideological leaning doesnt.. but when your news agency promises to encode that ideological leaning in their reporting (not even accidental, but intentionally incorporates it) then yes, 100% lacks journalistic integrity.

> Read the article - Then, tell me what you would change. I’m not looking for an essay, just a sentence or two reporting the facts as you think a non-biased, responsible journalist would. I’m really interested in how you will frame the pedophilia accusations the group is making.

I can already tell you what I'd change as there are enough issues in the first lines and headline... Issues that can not be corrected with "receipts" because they are opinions about the facts, not the facts themselves.

Here are the corrections I'd make:

PressProgress -> PressNeutrality

far-right -> anti-LGBT

"Pedophile Conspiracy convoy" -> This needs to be completely reworked on a few accounts.. 1) the meaning is ambiguous, it may suggest they are pedophilias who beleive in conspiuracy theoryes for example 2) Calling it a conspiracy is f course inherently bias where again anti-lgbt is factually accurate without lacking the journalistic integrity

etc etc.

@kdorse

LOL someone on facebook just told my my "language is not welcome" because I used fuck in a post (not in any way that was directed at a person)...

Well lady, I see this is your first day on the internet.. please let me introduce you to the back where the real shit goes down....

Am I the only one whose brain wont process RFK Jr's face as a normal face... like looking at his face causes my brain to respond the same way as the Canny Divide, like CGI that is just off enough that my brain glitches...

PS I am in no way suggesting anything conspiracy theory here... I know he isnt CGI.

Excellent work. Dems take actual action, while Repubs just whine, complain, and cry to their deranged voters and can’t even find a Speaker for thei...

TL;Dr for anyone reading the thread

Me: Both the DNC and the GOP lack any ability to compromise with anyone that criticizes them even a little

wise guy: NO we dont! <lists a bunch of reasons the GOP sucks> You are a GOPer, your bothsidism is showing

Me: So my response to you not taking criticism is to prove me wrong by not taking criticism from me and lumping me in with the GOP?

"table a motion" is a new autoantonym for the list :)

@wiseguyeddie Why do you keep fantasisng about thi gs i didnt say and then argue against those fantasies rather than addressing what i said? How do...

@freemo
Also, time to update your profile pic.

Keep the expression, just add the beard. ;)

@wiseguyeddie Why do you keep fantasisng about thi gs i didnt say and then argue against those fantasies rather than addressing what i said? How does it help arguing with yourself and pretending your arguibg witb me?

Never said you hating the gop was the dogma... nice try though. The dogma was when i criticised the DNC for being able to comrpomise with even mild criticism is completely lacking... i said nothing about the gop.. your response however is QED to the very poi t i made.

I did not debate that i proudly poi t out faults both tbe gop and dnc have. If you want to call that both sidism i dont mind. But you assuming that i am claiming the dnc and gop have to compromise is not what i said.. in fact both are lost causes as i said thry shoukd both be dissolved and not compromise at all.

Regardless you arguing that the gop is bad doesnt in anyway disagree with my claim that the dnc is incapable of compromising with anyone (not just the gop) when criticized.

You literally spent several threeads proving me right on this, QED. THANKS.

Virtually all arguments on the i ternet are between two people each arguing agaibst a fantasy of what the other person said. Neither side even understands the other let alone is arguing against their actual views

Trying out a chin curtain style beard... not sure how i feel about it though...

BTW, I really appreciate your approach of challenging my position. Done with good manners and reasonable arguments.

What should I ink up my flex fountain pen with (for Copper Plate)... Sepia color ink, or high sheen ink?
