It's fine to speculate, but I think it's wise to hold off on language that suggests certainty until all of the details are present. We're not quite at that point yet.
    Don't forget, if it weren't for the news media, you wouldn't know anything concerning the details of this event whatsoever.

      Don't forget, if it weren't for the news media, we wouldn't have all this speculation, guessing, false information, and fuel for conspiracy theories!

          I wonder if Jimmy will ever get the fax that the media has moved on to "RACIST!!!!" and has abandoned the Collusion Hoax. Maybe his fax machine is out of paper!

                The democrats have not moved on, CP. Though I know, being a supporter of the corrupt, white supremacist, undemocratic, treasonous, wannabe dictator Trump, you wish they would move on, but, apparently unlike yourself, they can pay heed to both Trumps treason and his racism at once.

                  In this case, they actually differ from the media. Note I said "the media has moved on", but it's no surprised that you assumed that was the same as saying "the Democrats". The media have (has? I can never get that one right) moved on, but a bunch of deluded Democrats are still fighting the battle. It reminds me of those Japanese soldiers who, YEARS after WWII was ended, were still fighting the war.

                  And here, in an effort to get me all riled up, you're, once again, showing what a delusional you are.

                      Well, that you think the media has moved on only goes to show the conservative bubble you must be living in.

                      No, just pointing out obvious facts, CP. You don't have to support the wannabe authoritarian, undemocratic, fascist, Trump, or you may just be incredibly ignorant or brainwashed, but you do support him at any rate.

                        I looked it up after I posted that, JimmyLou, cause I'm always interested in the truth. The fact is that "media has" and "media have" are both widely used, and both uses are aggressively defended by those who use them.

                        moved on only goes to show the conservative bubble you must be living in.
                        OK, cool, please continue to believe that WWII is still raging, and you're hunkered down waiting for the allies to attack.

                        I'm an Independent, Jimmy, and I am incredibly disappointed with many aspects of Trump's presidency and conduct, and have often stated so on this board. It's obvious, however, that you are determined to perpetuate this lie, because, apparently, that's who you are.

                            As I've mentioned before, I'm not a huge fan of Breitbart. However, I'm still waiting for someone to show where they're legitimately wrong (and not just in a nit-picky, opinionated way).

                            Here's your opportunity.
                            Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

                              Good example. Breitbart claimed immediately after the El Paso shooting that there were multiple shooters based on conflicting reports. They did at least later retract.
                              "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

                                Isn't that a problem with all media? Because of the 24 hour news cycle, they seem to ALL be so "rushed to the deadline" that they don't do the necessary fact checking. When I was younger, it was always seen as a rush to check all the facts before you "went on the air" at 6 or 11 PM ---- the goal these days is to be 2 seconds faster than the other guy to bring the "exclusive" story.
