Poor Rachel Maddow - tanqtonic - 12-28-2019 03:42 PM

First of all, her exact comments on-air regarding OAN news:

Quote:“In this case, the most obsequiously pro-Trump right-wing news outlet in America really literally is paid Russian propaganda. Their on-air U.S. politics reporter is paid by the Russian government to produce propaganda for that government.”

Now the favorite is, in response to a defamation suit popped on her by OAN, claims that her words are 'opinion'. Kind of a tough road to hoe with those words imo.

Base source (Linky here) is kind of a wild place; a fantastic financial blog intermingled with libertarian slants on the world at large.

I noted previously that I try not to source opinion blogs (with some dude railing on me here for that, for some reason), but overall this is in fact one. The Maddow full metal jacket retreat was featured here, and it seemed easiest to post to it as such.


RE: Poor Rachel Maddow - OptimisticOwl - 12-28-2019 04:03 PM

So, is Maddowe a journalist?


RE: Poor Rachel Maddow - georgewebb - 12-28-2019 04:09 PM

And I thought OAN was the publisher of the Pocket Flight Guide.

You think I was railing on you for trying to avoid using blogs? If so, I can pull up the post where I explained clearly what I was calling you out for doing.

Knock yourself out.

You got pissy on me on one of my previous statements to that effect; i.e. that I try and not practice that 'link to opinion blogs' thingy. You got riled up because I mentioned it (the horrors.... sheer horrors).

And, that is in line with the active verb of my sentence, i.e. '[me] not[ing]' that practice. I did so here, because the link, is in fact, an opinion site. And the touchstone retort to such a link, is, funnily enough, that is an opinion piece.

You got your knickers in a wad over my previous statement that I try not to source from such places -- so I thought I would defuse your knicker wadding. Apparently for naught.

As for a history search -- knock yourself out, my friend.

I called you out for using an opinion piece multiple times to support theories in Ukraine-Biden. You’re free to do that, but don’t be shocked when someone points out the obvious hypocrisy when, in that instance, you tried to be high and mighty about what sources you use.

No, not trying to be 'high and mighty' as your whining notes. Just trying to note when I use them. Good fing grief...

Go ahead and post opinion pieces, but stop being so offended when the source of the opinion piece is criticized for their obvious bias.

If you post anything, you are posting opinion pieces. You may post opinion pieces disguised as fact pieces, but those facts are invariably cherry picked to advance the opinion of the author.

And if you want to attack an opinion piece, attack the content, not the source. Closing one’s mind to fact (or opinion, for that matter) merely because of the identity of the source, is a very poor way to acquire knowledge, or more importantly, understanding.

Bingo. I think it is OK to attack the source in addition to the content, but not OK to just dismiss the source.

OK: This is the kind of biased reporting I have come to expect from CNN. They say this but omit that, and it gives a very slanted outlook.

Not OK: I am not going to waste my time reading anything from CNN. They are just the propaganda arm of the DNC. Everybody knows that.

The issue you’re ignoring is that there are authors that are known to edit content or present falsehoods as fact - when you do that enough, you’re not a trustworthy source and should not be trusted to relay facts.

Should all sources be weighted the same? Because I don’t think taking Alex Jones’ opinions seriously is expanding anyone’s knowledge.

Who's Alex Jones?

But both you and Tanq have good points. Everybody is presenting an opinion, and some of those opinions are not trustworthy. I think the big difference is that some of the ones you find trustworthy, I don't, and vice-versa.

For example, Adam Schiff has told us "the evidence is in plain sight right there on the table" and that Trump asked the leader of the Ukraine to "make up dirt". Yet his opinion still carries weight with certain factions. Maybe with you. Not with me - I know he is a biased liar. He is pursuing impeachment as a means of polishing his own political image. JMHO.

Now if I told you I heard that from Alex Jones's blog, or program, or office, whoever he is, would it change the facts that Schiff is a liar? What if I heard it from CNN? Still a liar.

Some very suspicious things have been happening since Trump got in the race for the Republican nomination in 2016, and more since he won the election. But if I ignored all the sources the left says are untrustworthy, I would be just another sheep believing everything Schiff, Nadler, Tlaib, Clinton, Pelosi et al say. I would have believed that Trump was a Russian puppet and all the other BS that has been bandied about as fact by some. I would have believed Kavanaugh was a rapist. But I used my brain and saw that the accusations were ridiculous, and now I watch as the antiTrumpers look for something, anything, to get him out before the 2020 election, because the people might just vote him in again.

It's political and one side is playing dirty. The left side, to be clear.


RE: Poor Rachel Maddow - mrbig - 12-30-2019 09:35 PM

No one thinks Kavanaugh is a rapist. They think he is an attempted rapist.
