Drowsy Emperor Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm suggesting you an open mind and a differentiation between Islam and terrorism. I'm asking you not to be blinded by unreasonable fear. I'm begging you to be a brother to everyone. Christian culture you are so vigorously defending seems to be on my side. Christian culture has been in war with the Islamic world since forever. If it still held sway as it used to you would never be making that argument. In fact, your own ancestors would likely consider you stark raving mad for wanting to invite muslims into Europe. They enjoyed painting them, reading about them and superficial interaction but wanting to resettle them in the neighburghood was never on the table.

Malcador Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I still like this dude for a cherry picked interview. Granted, he's still a moron. https://youtu.be/kjuNuqIev8M Edited February 9, 2017 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

Wrath of Dagon Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Breitbart may not always be wrong or fake, but they typically take a story and then spin it to fit their narrative. Then their loyal readers eat it up and act like that is the only way form of truth (even when they are making huge assumptions and leaps of logic.)So like every other media outlet then.

There is going to be a liberal slant for most mainstream media, because what kind of people go to school for journalism degrees other than idealistic liberals? That being said, self-awareness and opposing viewpoints are keys here. You tend to get that with major news outlets, but Brietbart and HuffPost are just echo chambers of self-righteousness. They make MSNBC and Fox News look impartial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 OK, so let's say you look at CNN. Sure, sometimes they'll have an opposing viewpoint, but 90% of the time they're pushing a narrative. Then they claim they're impartial. Breitbart doesn't pretend to be impartial, if you want an opposing viewpoint, just look at another website. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

A few months ago I would have completely disagreed, I would have reversed that percentage. But they've basically become fully hostile towards Trump. It seems to be a completely antagonistic relationship. I'm hoping they can reverse course. I'm also hoping Trump can do the same. This isn't a win for the American people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them stirring the pot about the Trayvon Martin case and even worse about Ferguson "hands up don't shoot" lie, so you may not have noticed it but it's been going on for years and years.

Blarghagh Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 It's that time of the week. Long threads make board code go wonky, hence long threads get closed. Open up a new one at your discretion. Goodnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
