Didn't the NY Times retract their fire extinguisher story? The guy spoke to his brother later that day saying people sprayed him with bear spray. Yet the Times reported their narrative anyway. Aren't serious persons like you able to see the propaganda? Perhaps you need to leave the team for a while and then you will be able to see the propaganda? Anyway, shouldn't we be about truth instead of team narrative?

Link it and we’ll read it.

Here is the link again to the Glenn Greenwald article about the Times poor reporting. https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-fa ... ted-claims

The narrative should be the 1% against the rest of us. Trump is part of the 1% but so is the NY Times.

I meant link the retraction because what you done is simply linked to a right-wing narrative that’s been pushed hard. There’s a deliberate muddying of the waters on the issue, which is what you’re doing now when I asked you to tell me who the LW equivalent of Rush is. You came back with the mainstream media.

Cool.

Link the retraction and I’ll read it.

As a Centrist I’m very struck with how damned stupid this whole debate is. It’s forgivable that the NYT got the story wrong, or at least there seems to be a gap between two anon LEOs and that lacks basic journalistic integrity enough to issue a retraction. Reporting without all the facts is often incorrect.

However, why is there a rush to score political points with this story? At minimum a police officer died due to the actions of people attacking the police. It should be investigated as to how the man died and who was responsible. It doesn’t matter if he was hit with a fire extinguisher or maced; if the insurrectionists didn’t go to the Capitol building on January 6th he would be alive. But you’re straining at gnats.

Awesome.

I'd like to take a moment to honor the huge dump I just took. It was massive and full of corn. What was once food had a productive life, and it would be wrong of me to disrespect the piece of crap and not say a word of remembrance for it. I mean, this is the proper amount of respect one would pay to a piece of crap, is it not?

Can I get an "amen" before I flush?

Why can't I get an "amen?" Am I respecting the piece of crap too much?

I'm only asking because it's really starting to stink.

I've just got to say, in all seriousness... I've never witnessed a famous person's death who's reputation after passing seemed so acceptable to trash.

He certainly was an asshole.

Go ahead and flush. It's like realizing that Bush was the very last of the normal Republicans and after Bush would be a continuous stream of some truly hideous pieces of crap.

News said he died today. A good day for America, the hater and hate filled liar is gone.

How spectacularly gracious and kind of you. I am certain that his family, friends and loved ones are deeply touched by your warm thoughts.

Why do we tolerate this kind of idiocy is beyond me.

While I can guess why it's "beyond you", there are still some folks left in this country that find toleration to be an extremely precious and valuable thing.

Our society needs to do better, far better.

I absolutely agree and I think your OP and this thread is a perfect place to start that process.

Nice to see you Ceeboo....

Equating the NYT with Limbaugh and now Trump, means you're not a serious person. Probably an idiot. All you've done is cite the same guys you have before to point out that sometimes news reports get it wrong. Whoopty doo. As if you need to keep citing these guys to figure this out? Is that supposed to be some kind of revelation? Getting it wrong doesn't automatically mean "propaganda" or an agenda driven narrative and for you to assert otherwise means you're doing precisely the thing you're accusing the NYT of doing. Occasionally getting something wrong is about the only common denominator there is between NYT and Rush Limbaugh or Donald Trump.

Agreed. Philo's were likely among the warmest thoughts Rush has received.

I have to wonder why he had been breathing in bear spray. If only there was a way to know what happened to him that day when he decided to do this.
