Conservatives more likely to believe false news, new study finds. https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/02/health/conservatives-false-news-study/index.html Is this supposed to be sarcasm?

It pretty much falls in line with what I was taught. Conservatives respond to shock and fear ads. Democrats respond to positive ads. Their brains are different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 On 7/2/2021 at 8:40 AM, Buffalo Timmy said: I love studies like this especially when the "facts" are that Corona started naturally, that the US was not funding research in that lab in Wuhan, children wearing masks is important in the fight against Covid, and HCQ is dangerous. When your "facts" are so blatantly false and only stupid people believe them it is easy to see how crap like this is printed. Don't forget Russian collusion, Russian bounties, Kavanugh raping Blasey-Ford, Hunter being qualified to be on any company's board, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2021/07/08/governor-oddly-not-named-in-story-of-repealed-law-that-could-have-more-quickly-repaired-surfside-condo/ Governor oddly not named in story of repealed law that could have more quickly repaired Surfside condo NBC 6 in South Florida has a story out Thursday about a Florida law that could have more quickly repaired the collapsed Surfside condo had it not been repealed. We saw a lot of people tweeting that the story completely left out the name of the governor who repealed that law, and sure enough, when we read it, we couldn’t find the name either. The only clue is that it was repealed in 2010. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Huh, gosh, golly, gee, the gunman’s veteran status was not key or in any way related to his shooting of officers monitoring a peaceful protest in Dallas. Seems NPR has left out a few important details … Referring to the gunman as a veteran and deliberately leaving out some BIG details … typical. Basically, all they’re really doing here is perpetuating the idea that veterans are dangerous while completely ignoring the reality of who the gunman REALLY was. In deciding which pertinent details to include as context about the killer, I’d think his own stated motivation would come well before his veteran status. Yep, they really went with “veteran” as the defining characteristic of a black supremacist racist who ambushed police and was specifically targeting white officers, killing five of them.

B-Man Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 But to the New York Times, “Freedom” is just some sort of anti-government slogan? We've reached the point of "Freedom and other anti-government slogans." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've reached the point of "Freedom and other anti-government slogans." They sound more and more like the CCP every day. Like the way they "reported" on the Hong Kong protesters. They portrayed anti lockdown American protesters the exact same way. Americans portrayed by their own media the same way China portrayed Hong Kong protesters. Let this sink in.

Doc Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Lefties have loved Cuba ever since Barry tried to normalize relations with them. More of their hypocrisy, along the lines of embracing Islam when their treatment of women, gays and other religions is far worse than they believe Repubs treat them.

There may not be a more honest, clear and transparent example of this thread’s header then the post you just completely bypassed, so you can insult someone. But you’re not really here for truth, 716. Just to practice the sacred art of douchery. Back to the thread: This representation by the NYT is a gross misuse of words that should concern citizens. When we have an American News Source refer to the desperately screamed term “freedom “ in an oppressed country like Cuba, as simply “anti-government “, we have a real problem. When actual “morons” gloss over it because the same media is the well they proudly sip from…. Dark days ahead.

716er Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 To the Cuban government people shouting freedom is anti-government. Disingenuous douchebaggery does go far here, though. Did you lap up your talking points from Ted Cruz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 You all seem to be commenting on a headline without reading the actual article. "Freedom" in this situation seems to be anti-government in Cuba. Are they saying "freedom" is anti-government in the US? I guess context does matter.

Or when Taiwan shouts freedom to China? Ignorance is truly bliss. But let’s be real…. You’re not here to be politically accurate. You’re here because you have hatred to give to those who don’t agree with you. BTW, Not a fan of Cruz, considering I’m a Democrat. I’m proof that moderates are the last line of defense before the far left (you) allows the country to be destroyed. 1 minute ago, LeGOATski said: You all seem to be commenting on a headline without reading the actual article.

Context is reading the same rhetoric in all left-leaning headlines, referring to a challenge to an oppressive communist government, simply as “Anti-government “. It’s the same way they refer to what’s happening in Asia. But yea, ignorance is bliss and you should continue to focus on the semantics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
