rob Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 It's called "True News." That's how you know you can trust it. Quote
kevbone Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 It's called "True News." That's how you know you can trust it. Better than Fox News. Quote

So where do you get your news from? Serious question Rob. Lets see if you can answer it without sarcasm. I bet you will not be able too. Quote
rob Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) It's called "True News." That's how you know you can trust it. Better than Fox News. Yeah, but that's a low bar. So where do you get your news from? Serious question Rob. Lets see if you can answer it without sarcasm. I bet you will not be able too. do you want to know where I get my news, or my editorials? The link above was not actually news. Do you know the difference? News is easy to get on the internet, so I don't just have one source. Do you? But for general perusing (i.e. goofing off at work) I mostly use Google's news aggregate, because it offers a pretty good cross-section of both major and minor publishers and I can just randomly find stories that interest me. But for detailed stories on particular interests of mine, I mostly use internet search engines to find articles that interest me, regardless of publishers, and then I make my own decisions on the perceived accuracy of the report based on many factors (it's called critical thinking). I don't have favorite publishers because I think none of them are perfect and most are bad. That's why I make my decisions on a case-by-case basis. Editorials are a little different, since they are not unbiased (by definition) and so there are many editorials I don't read because I know they'd just piss me off (i.e. I don't get Rush's special content he offers on his website). With editorials, I find the author is more important than the publisher since they are usually written by people not actually employed by the publisher in the first place (unlike journalists who report on news). Therefore, my interest in editorials is mostly driven by my personal tastes, and not by whoever happened to publish it -- so again it's mainly a case-by-case thing. I certainly don't have any publisher that I just take at his word, or that I like more than any other. It's all mostly hit or miss. But, of all of these internet sources, I would consider most of the "youtube only" sources to be the most immature and unprofessional pieces of journalism out there. That's just from my personal experience -- there are exceptions, of course. But in general their coverage of the "news" is highly slanted and editorialized, which I view as badly as I view Fox.

j_b Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 It's called "True News." That's how you know you can trust it. There is a direct link between deregulation of the financial sector and trillions in bad assets owned by financial institutions that are at the core of a once in a century economic crisis yet trust libertarian nincompoops to claim that re-regulating is a bad idea. Same turds who claim their beliefs are evidence based Quote

VultureVision Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 Anyone brave enough to tell me what actually causes them to regard something as "true"? (I'm looking for SPECIFICS.) Quote
VultureVision Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 And j_b, I'm not sure I understand your position precisely. Quote

VultureVision Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 Hahaha, Wow. I found a perfect quote for Robbie: "A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle." - Benjamin Franklin Quote
Crux Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 A man who calls himself a buzzard with his dick in his mouth really sucks. -- Thomas Jefferson Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Anyone brave enough to tell me what actually causes them to regard something as "true"? (I'm looking for SPECIFICS.) Your posts cause me to truly believe that you're a moron with a tiny bag of unspecific cliches and a case of excessive ball drive that would put a lab with down's syndrome to shame. Quote
rob Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Hahaha, Wow. I found a perfect quote for Robbie: "A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle." - Benjamin Franklin at least I have the balls to post my opinions under my real username, rather than creating an anonymous avatar like a cowardly pussy. Have you always been such a pussy, or is this a new development? I wish the board revealed posting IPs so we could see who you really are. My money is on kevbone or bill, cause they're both retarded, too. Or kimmo. Tough call. Edited January 4, 2012 by rob Quote
AlpineK Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 My first and last review of the video involved looking at the length of the program. Once I saw 28:15 I decided it was a waist of my time. Not that I don't waist time but come on I'm sure there's a ton of stuff in the wacko category of YouTube with lengths of 2:00 Quote
kevbone Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 at least I have the balls to post my opinions under my real username, Dont confuse balls with stupidity. Quote

minx Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 28:15? i don't think the battery on my computer is up to that challenge let alone my attention span Quote
E-rock Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 So, I take it, VultureVision, that you're a member of the cult, right? Quote
VultureVision Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 Wow. Y'all are hilarious. If by "the cult", you mean "my ideas", then yes, I'm a member of the club. And if by "intelligent" you mean "attacking at the person behind the logical arguments being proposed", then many of y'all are very "intelligent". If you are wise, then you will address the information itself, and not just the messenger. Anyone want to have a civil debate in person? I live in Portland, OR and I'm willing to debate someone who sees himself as a superhero. Only condition is that it is recorded with a video camera and posted on this forum afterwords. Kevbone can even record it, and I'll supply the camera. So how about it Rob - you got the balls for a civil, in-person debate? Or is the keyboard more comforting? Quote
VultureVision Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 If you decide to reason with me, I suggest you bring your attention span - you're going to need it. Quote
