Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!
Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

Originally posted by Ronson View PostMy favorite scene is where a group of protesters tackle an Antifa vandal.
I recall an interview about 8 or 9 years ago when a "free Syria" fighter was talking about overthrowing Assad. He said there were several groups working and fighting alongside each other toward that common goal. But they didn't want anything to do with a strange group of foreign extremists who had entered the fray (this later turned out to be ISIS). He said they were afraid of being shot in the back by these people because they were radicals and had some hidden agenda.
That's the same way Antifa is hijacking the Floyd protests. They are being spotted now because (like in Syria) they are a strange group of radicals with a different agenda. They don't want reform, they want chaos and bloodshed.

Originally posted by JimL View PostDo you guys ever ask yourselves how you became such conspiracy theorists? It wouldn't matter to you if the media was spot on in any instance, if they didn't report what you want to hear you would believe it's a vast conspiracy, that every journalist is unethical and report only what the masters tell them to report. That would be the kind of media that Trump would like, which is why he tells you not to believe what you hear or read, but to just believe him.
I am much more trusting of my local news. They seem to be more just reporting the facts."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

While I largely agree with people's definition here, it just seems that MSM is used almost exclusively about "leftist" media. While others are considered exempt.
For instance, people cite Breitbart and Fox News commentaries and report here, without any accusations about them being MSM.

Speaking only for myself, I don't consider Breitbart mainstream. Fox News definitely is, though.
