RE: Troll takes over political bulletin board and guess what it does...
This feels like asking for a safe space. Just don't read his posts if you don't like them. Some people really do want a right side forum only. If so maybe that can be created, but this forum isn't that right now.

Crimson Phantom posts a lot. I think a lot of subjects are interesting, but there have been quite a few where he's posting people on twitter that later get community noted for fake news.

When people on the left here post everything they say is somehow fake news even when they literally just quote Trump himself and that's it. If you know it's actually fake news say so. But, I have to just laugh at some of the stuff people call fake simply because they don't like it. Same thing on the right at times with the stuff people believe is actual news. Which usually gets noted by the time it's fallen off the front page.

I am far more interested in Crimson Phantoms posts than I am in say Gitanoles. And a lot of Gitanoles posts are gotchas that I don't think are anywhere near as big a deal as he thinks it is. But, they aren't all like that and he should have the ability to post as well. But, it is amusing the knee jerk his posts are always fake while not calling out Crimson Phantoms posts which also happen to many times turn up as fake. Lot of news out there that are more interested about promoting their side than reporting facts.

I agree with the last few posts in unison. That’s why I have a bunch of folks on ignore and that’s why they will stay there. I have absolutely no interest in reading anything they say.

Also, I find it WORSE that Crimson barely posts in his own threads because it gives even more credence that its just a propaganda pump n dump firehose because he barely defends his own spam. This among many other reasons why I have stopped posting here and only ghost to see the opinions of others.

If they (Tom, gitanole, Crimson) aren't on someone's payroll then I worry about their mental health to spend all this time generating or regurgitating hate content (from both sides of the aisle). But to each their own how they spend their finite time on this earth.

Hope all are well. Voted today in Texas. Guess who I voted for? Wishing you all good health and see ya November 4th. 04-cheers


Interesting you would worry about others mental state

We all know you voted for chaos

We ALL gravitate toward stories/reports that we WANT to agree with. That is just human nature. It really is not any different than news outlets reporting with a bias toward what they want you to believe - again - human nature.

LOL, why? There's no indication of whom I'm speaking. I didn't use terribly inflammatory rhetoric when I could have easily done it. I thought it was at least civil. It's not like it was a sockdologer. #snicker

Yeah...and...

A poster just said that he believes or trusts CP and uses that as a source for credible information. The VAST majority of CP's threads are links to dubious outfits that are generally pretty unreliable or extremely biased.

The Gateway Pundit
The Post Millennial
Red State
Random substacks...which are mostly just someone's blog

To be fair (and specific), Tom ... TB4E posted this: "I get most of my information from here, CP, or from other online sources."

He did not say he "he believes or trusts" those sources (as you note). He simply gets info (some of which he likely feels is not credible) from those sources.

I go to multiple sources to seek news. Sometimes I find info from those sources believable and sometimes I don't.

Maybe I'm dabbling in semantics, but ...

Having said this, I do find some of the sites CPhantom posts as highly dubious and lacking credibility.
