ORIGINAL: heavyblinker The information source you posted has zero accountability because nobody has the time, patience or energy it would need to debunk every single lie it tells. The FBI is NOT going to respond to them because they know they're a fucking joke... and so should you. They exist only to feed you the bullshit you want to hear in order to get your indignation fix. They know that in a few days you won't care that what they said was a lie, because your attention will be focused on a brand new lie that produces the same effect. That momentary thrill is all you will care about, which is exactly what is happening now. I'm not saying I haven't also been guilty of compulsively checking the news to see what brand new shitstorm is joining this mother of all shitstorms... but seriously, the reality is already sensational enough without having to bring conspiracy sites and other fake news sites into the mix. Whatever, dude. I posted a news story. Take it however you want. when one is incapable of informed critical thought and cannot deal effectively with the content, all that's left throwing crap at the source and the messenger and hope that works. although the approach here is novel, if not somewhat reeking of desperation too. fox is a "fake news site??"---oh in a comrade's wet dream maybe. oh and yeah---of course we all know journalists ALWAYS reveal their sources and NO ONE ever says anything anonymously. Oh right you're such a clear, critical thinker that you've completely ignored everything I was saying, invented your own version of it, and then responded to that. I would call it a straw man, but I think you're just slow. This report WASN'T done for FOX. It was a FOX reporter who gave the story to a fringe RWNJ website. Either that or they're simply regurgitating the same 'story' that FOX has been pushing since at least July. Either that or the reporter has absolutely nothing to do with it and the site is simply reminding people that he reported this story back in June or whatever. It has nothing to do with what the FBI is doing now... it's not exactly a lie, but it's really dishonest. FOX is incredibly dishonest about the way they present their 'news', but this site doesn't even have their shitty reputation. If you had clicked on the link, or if you were actually capable of processing reality you would know this... but whatever, obviously I'm the one who isn't thinking critically. I DIDN'T SAY THEY NEED TO REVEAL THEIR SOURCES. Who are you even talking to??? I'm saying that their sources are almost certainly people with opinions that aren't relevant, but were chosen because they matched the narrative that they wanted to push. This is one of FOX's favorite tactics... presenting unqualified opinions as breaking news, giving the unqualified people titles like 'sources within the FBI' (could be anyone--janitors, secretaries, interns, etc.) and knowing that people like you will be too busy riding your wave of indignation and self-congratulation to ask any questions.
