I have sent a couple of mails out. I have pulled a few post. All of this after my warning, so from this point on any who wish to go off topic, make a personal attack or attempt to hijack cannot say they did not have ample warnings when the consequences are handed out.

Thank you for your contribution to the forums,

A lovely article about

Snowy owls soar south from Arctic in rare mass migration

Is filled with mindless far-left propaganda

Question is, who can spot the major inconsistency... 

An especially plentiful supply of lemmings last season likely led to a population boom among owls that resulted in each breeding pair hatching as many as seven offspring. That compares to a typical clutch size of no more than two, Holt said.


Greater competition this year for food in the Far North by the booming bird population may have then driven mostly younger, male owls much farther south than normal.

He said snowy owl populations are believed to be in an overall decline, possibly because a changing climate has lessened the abundance of vegetation like grasses that lemmings rely on

I unblocked the OP and read the article. I found nothing remotely related to "reeducation kamps". There was nothing remotely political in the article. There is nothing remotely contradictory between the two statements Firm highlighted.

Aylee's post (#23) is not an "analysis" in any meaningful sense of the word. It is nothing more than an attempted defense of the assertion by the OP and Firm that a straightforward article, reporting a phenomenon involving the migration of a species of arctic bird to regions far beyond the bird's historically observed range, is some sort of "far-left propaganda" piece.

To label this article as "far-left propaganda" is bizarre, to say the least, and speaks more about the obsessively hyperpartisan Weltanschauung of the thread's author than it does about objective reality.

I suggest that the "Random Stupidity" forum be reopened, and that this thread be the first entry. It's not quite up to the standards set by the PA Prison Planet poster, but it will have to do.

OK, how would you rewrite it giving all the pertinent facts without what you call "Twist and spin"?

Could I suggest that having a thought and commenting on the subject would cure your mod obsession?

Youre kidding right

Gamma moderated me for a week for venturing off topic like that

Just the fact that cons must explain/defend their lack of support amongst the public by claiming a media bias is proof positive of their desperation and intellectual dishonesty.

They even have their own media outlet and still can`t get any traction.

Great tact Hill,asking for the same info to be put in "un biased,fair and balanced" fux news form.

Which seems to be impossible,demonstrating better than eight pages of text how lame the "media bias" claim really is.

If you cant see the ridiculous game of Twist And Spin that the author had to play to get this story written, even after Firm spelled it out for you so very clearly on page one, I am sorry but I cannot help you

Goes for the post immediately following yours as well

I could add though, for Denver Holt and the Owl Institute to allow their names to be used on such a ridiculous and lowly propaganda piece as that doesnt speak well of them or their institution at all

Quick note.

This has been moved out of the basement and up to off topic.

We have to play nicer folks.

Last week two political operatives were arrested in separate incidents, one Democrat and one Republican. It certainly isn't news that political operatives sometimes break the law, but how the different incidents were reported is typical of how the Old Media establishment uses guilt by association to tar Republicans but rarely does the same thing to take swipes at Democrats.

The similarity in the two stories is that both of the accused are former staffers of high profile politicians. The Democrat was an Obama campaign staffer while the Republican was a staffer of the Republican Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker. Neither currently works for those high profile pols, but only the Republican was linked to his former boss. The Democrat's link to Obama was mostly ignored by the media.

Story One: Some Guy Arrested

...

Story Two: Those Darn Criminal Republicans
