Now if only anyone could trust a single thing he said or believe this was true…

    It’s worth reading both sides for context. I am well aware of which papers cater to whom. Only reading your own circle jerk doesn’t actually make you well informed though.

      Only if you want to spread Donald Trump‘s lies while pretending they’re facts. I don’t particularly care for spreading all-right propaganda and misinformation, knowing they are lies, as you admit, nor do all of the people who are downvoting this post.

      I don’t need to read articles like this to know that Donald Trump is a liar, and this article certainly doesn’t point that out.

          Knowing lies as one thing. You are actively and knowingly spreading them.

            With the caption “he’s lying again.” Sticking your head in the sand and copying the ministry of magic’s approach after the triwizard cup isn’t going to help anything. Trying to “ban” misinformation just leads to lies on both sides. Reading both sides yourself and knowing what parts are true and lies allows you to correctly argue it to others.

              Explain how. Also, show me where I ever called for a “ban on misinformation”. Nice strawman, though.

              So now you’re attacking me personally because I called you out for intentionally spreading false information— and all you have is some “both sides” nonsense claiming - without evidence - that, unless you get to spread Trump’s claims as facts… what, “the other side” will suddenly start doing it too? Lmao

              Reading both sides yourself and knowing what parts are true and lies allows you to correctly argue it to others.

              That’s not the same as spreading lies as truth, which is what you are doing.

              Trying to “ban” misinformation

              lol- everything is a ‘ban’. Love that. Can you quote what they said that you think equates to a ‘ban’ of anything?

              Yikes… your pop culture references need work.
