But yet we have page after page of Trump pulled the tag off a mattress threads 

    Yes, although that seems to be beside the point. 

    As our friend Kip used to say, post something interesting and people will comment. If not, I don't think we need to go digging around for an explanation.

Is it really a "the Left" thread?  I would think all people would be interested when the media admits to do something wrong regardless of the context.

    Well it shouldn't have been, but a few here seem intent on making every thread about "the left". I don't think we need to go searching for reasons why the thread didn't gain traction. How many times do you expect people to read the same thing before they stop clicking?

Threads like this don't seem to get much traction, I wonder why? 

 

    Another 'the left' thread can't get off the ground? I'm not sure that should come as a surprise.

This forum... 

 

Why even allow pasting of other page formats if endquotes ie /quote in brackets are going to just be ignored. Forum should just remove it...  completely mangling my posts and can't even edit it now. 

  the left?

So much for freedom of religion.

 

  When you have some free time, you should check out the idiotic laws some of our own states have passed.

As stated, it is an opinion piece, and I do not want to violate VJ TOS by posting the entire article.  But it begs the question, if you cannot read it, why comment on it?

     As I stated, what you posted here was more than the WSJ allows people to read without paying. Fair use does not allow you to be posting content for free that the WSJ is charging viewers to read, however the content does not seem to be at a level I would pay money to read. That was my point.

"Disgusting but not surprising," he tweeted. "This is the left today. They consider this acceptable."

 

 

  Stereotyping, blaming 'the left' for the actions of a single person. He'd fit in well here. I wonder if he has a VJ account?

I had to wake up..has the mystery been solved? 

  Haven't heard, but it looks like he was asleep at the wheel. Given the alternatives, probably not a bad place to be.

   I believe a paid subscription is needed to view this article, and for that to happen, they really should put a little more analysis into the final product.

I don't follow Twitter at all.  Does this matter?

   That he has 15 million fake followers doesn't matter and is not all that surprising. I would say the fact that 15 million real people actually think he's worth listening to is more curious.

New revelations have surfaced that the Obama administration abused intelligence during the election by launching a massive domestic-spy campaign that included snooping on Trump officials.

 

The irony is mind-boggling: Targeting political opposition is long a technique of police states like Russia, which Team Obama has loudly condemned for allegedly using its own intelligence agencies to hack into our election.

 

The revelations, as well as testimony this week from former Obama intel officials, show the extent to which the Obama administration politicized and weaponized intelligence against Americans.

 

http://nypost.com/2017/05/26/how-team-obama-tried-to-hack-the-election/

  You've posted at least 20 times that the NY post is 'fake' news. You have been one of the most vocal people on this site in that regard.

  If you only believe the media when it's when it's something you agree with, then it's time to admit that the issue in general may be more with the viewers than the source.

   LOL. Fact checking. I'm not sure that's a road Trump supporters really want to start down.

  Indeed. I'm sure the cost will be immeasurable.

  Guy's are concerned about Hillary having a cough, but don't seem to care that Trump has been crapping the bed since day 1.

But but

 

Trump

     This young lady would have likely drawn suspicion regardless of who the president was, but as we all know, the reaction of DHS is often heavily influenced by the policies of the president. Trump was the one who took the leash off the dogs, so to speak. If we are to believe that DHS had their hands tied to a certain extent under Obama, then it's probably worth keeping in mind (for travelers) how heavy those hands may have become now that they have been 'freed'. 

  I don't know her intentions, and neither did DHS. Even prior to this story though,  I think it's been apparent that right now is probably not a good time to be testing the limits of immigration policy.

   We really aren't arguing about anything. In fact Bill agreed with me that FOX really capitalized on an opportunity.  Pseudo news and a captive audience was their bread and butter.

   I'm not surprised you chose to resort to liberal bashing again though. Your thought train seems to follow a single track in that regard.

Interesting, that caption could apply to any of the major media outlets. 

  Sure it could, but it says FOX. What other news channel needed a slogan like 'fair and balanced' for something that had generally been implied by news coverage up until that point. FOX was really the trailblazer for pushing the limits of fake news.

These discussions are downright boring once NB actually reads the article

   I'm not sure if there's any precedent to base that on.

  It's interesting the graphic doesn't include Faux. Why not address fake news on the original fake news network.

I wonder how long it will be before MDL  becomes outdated and  THE LEFT finds it offensive?  I just asked my middle of the road Asian wife if her or any of her , friends found that offensive. She thought it was a silly thing, and said of course not.

 

I suspect it is more white uber offended leftist in a rush to prove how enlightened and hip they are.

  Skipped reading the article again, didn't you?

I've never understood the racist connection with the word "Oriental".

  It's no better or worse than saying occidental. Then again, nobody refers to me as an occidental anymore.

You'd have to ask the left, 

   You realize you could save a whole lot of typing time if you just post the things you don't think the left is responsible for.
