Happy Thanksgiving

Fake. You never grew up.

how bout a slanted press? Its a shame they are protecting criminals because of political affiliation.. They should all go to jail, no matter what party they are but covering for them is criminal itself.

In my Introduction to Journalism class in 1964, I was taught that it is not the role of an editor (in those days he/she was the one settng policies) to make sure that the news was true or fact driven. It was their role to make sure that what they printed sold papers. The more papers they sold, the more they could charge for advertising. The more money they received from advertising, the better they could pay their editor.You don't sell newspapers by printing front page stories about Becky getting a B+ on her spelling test. A news source should stimulate the amygdala, a little almond shaped part toward the middle of the brain that makes us happy, hateful or horney. It makes us buy a paper to read a story we hate. If it simply appealed to the right-frontal lobe we would logically determine the relative value of one small event in the greater scheme of things and walk past the newspaper rack. Libel laws keep a free press from abusing the privilege. In the decades I did news media relations work for the VA, I could count the number of times that people were totally happy with the results of a hard news story. Having a reporter write a story about you is like an intervention. It can hurt. But, it can also make you better at what you do for a living or as a person. When ABC News hid a camera in the room of a quadraplegic and found that his meals were delivered but he was not fed for 24-hours, "heads rolled." I was asked by a big shot at a national meeting of health care managers, how to avoid such stories in the future. I said, "Feed your patients."

how bout when they have "Video and photographic evidence of them committing crimes" ? (Her words)

Dear Nocomatepnabl--As you well know Pravda is Russian for truth. The difference between that and a free press is simple. In Russia, if you challenge the state sanctioned "truth," you have a good chance of being jailed, if you don't end up frothing at the mouth and dead on a park bench. Just ask Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. In the free world, writers who uncover illegal or unethical acts by government officials are given prizes, not sentences or poison.

This is so "all over the place," that I question my own sanity in trying to make sense of it. Assange was arrested by the Brits. So, people outside of America must have their own conspiracy against him to act on. Snowden is still the guest of the people he sold out his country for. He has real and propaganda value that makes him too valuable to kill.

As soon as there is anything new to report on Epstein the free press will report it. And, the reason most of the "media," tend to report the same story is that they all rely on verfiable facts, not cool ideas to stir up the masses. A major incentive for telling the truth and verifying it in the same way, is they can be sued and lose a lot of money. That is why everyone carries a libel manual or has one close by. I had one in my desk for 25-years. And, all I ever wrote for general publication were puffball pieces.

I always chuckle when people quote Orwell or other writers of fiction to make sense out of reality. Other than times when the facts don't play out the way you want, can you name a time (in America) of "universal deceit?"

Almost all news sources lead with the same story and report the same facts, because they go for the story most likely to sell and use the same facts.

I know that you have conjured an image of me as some sort of Vogon, abusing underlings and mistreating veterans. But, my Resume would amaze and amuse you. I have had a total of 16-jobs over 58-years of work. But, since you focus on that, there is nothing more real than working in health care management. You are humbled by the real life and death decisions made by care providers and challenged by inflexible budgets that are always a buck short of what you need. You appear to know little about the real world. I am not surprised. I have seen the Canadian TV you were raised on. Our cable channels buy it as cheap fodder.

Timber is a basic troll.

There is no need to prove yourself, it even acknowledged your background on another meme last week, but adding that your carreer was as part of the machine so thus you are blinded by it.

It seeks to cajole those it sees as a threat on this site and chase them out. That's what it's job as a paid shill is. At night when less are about, it targets "left" leaning newb memers and harrasses them with extreme vitriol till they delete. During the day it resumes the 'just a debater' guise.

You are not one of us "we," silly billy. You are Canadian.

As much as it wishes, Alberta will never be part of the USofA, faker.
You're not one of US (see what I did there?).

Hissy fit engaged.

This pleases me.

Aw, and your are one salty shemale brit, go take your male loving asshole and get it punctured in Britain because YoU aRe NoT OnE oF uS

Aww, Mario mad?

I guess the shemale brit is going a bit bonkers

Fox News*
THAT'S the GOP's state tv. Ask Trump's personal contact/messenger/mouth piece Hannity,

Oh, my bad, you said "here"
So those are all state tv in Canada? That is awesome.
