JUST IN: All 8 Supreme Court Justices Stand In Solidarity Against Trump SCOTUS Pick
By Pearson McKinney - March 26, 2017



Now...that said....

I'm really disappointed with the quality of journalism today. I'm not even talking about the fake news crap.

But this article, while based on truth, is really, really overblown in its headline and tone, and ignores that the justices' criticism is essentially pointless -- it doesn't change a thing on capital hill or the White House.

I've read articles recently in the New Yorker that were flat out not about what the headline and description said. I've read several there and in the Atlantic that posed as articles and were really opinion pieces. (Esquire also runs opinion pieces, but there's no mistaking them for articles).

It just seems...silly and pointless.

Are we as news consumers really this dumb, or this indiscriminate, or this apathetic, or this thirsty for empty stimulation?



Edited to add: per dc's note about Snopes -- false report to boot. Sigh.

Completely, but under the current circumstances it's looking like a possibility.

Bipartisan Report is a pro-liberal, clickbait news outlet, known for creating heavily skewed headlines to appeal to the left.[1] It claims to be "The Internet’s Largest newspaper,"[2] an unsubstantiated claim in conflict with the website's Alexa ranking.[3] It was founded in Seattle, Washington by Justin Brotman, son of Jeff Brotman, who operates the website from his home. Content is written from a heavily biased perspective, and it is said to have posted inaccuracies, pseudoscience and conspiracy theories.[4] Some have classified it as a fake news website,[5] a claim which the website's founder denies. The website reportedly has 15 paid writers, who publish their work under pen names for safety and privacy reasons.[6]

What it's a left leaning equivalent of Breitbart?
Obviously not a reliable source and to be ignored, then.

Thanks to you and dc. Busted.

Sorry. I'll add that to my fake news radar.

Yeah. Find a mirror. Case study.

You wanna see "maniacal partisanship," you should read what I wrote to the DNC about their fund raising request.

I'm...pretty sure they don't see me as their partisan.

Fucking clowns, both major parties. Oligarchy vs. oligarchy. Brought us to that ridiculous election, where no one wanted anyone.

Except a few riled up Trump Tooners and a few It's Her Turn Hilaries.

Now, you wanna fault me for voting strictly for Green or Working Families parties, go for it. And the occasional Independent (but these candidates are rare).

It's your clown show. Enjoy.

What I'm "maniacal" about is the complete shit the two-party system has brought us to. It's gotta go.

Now, those like you who are pro-partisan are likely to see that as a partisan threat to your status quo.

But it's your own myopia.

AND I'm livid over the bullshit McConnell pulled over judicial appointments generally but especially this year old not even gonna hold a hearing crap. And no, Schumer and Biden don't get a pass for thinking it up first. It's just absolute crap. They don't want the job, they should resign. All of them.

And you can shove it.

And he owned up to it, and admitted it.
Something you dont ever do, that is, apologise like a real man. Or woman. Or even admit when you are wrong.
Drama llamas act like apologies burn like a red hot poker in the anus
Dicks dont apoogise when they are wrong,
Good Dominants do.

It's also something of which you are incapable.

I guarantee that if this thread had been an RWNJ equivalent, you or Bosco or someone would have already changed the subject without admitting anything.

Nonsense. I answered some threads I started previously. I've been doing productive things instead of coming here.

I expect they'll fade from the page quickly.

rm will start several about the evils of feminism shortly, I'm sure. Enjoy!
