TGHusker Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Seth Rich was not murdered because of Hillary Clinton The Clinton "body bags" meme is conservative bunk More of the sparing websites Snopes may be correct in what they have to say and maybe all of this (Clinton body bags) are all "7 degrees of separation" but in the Clinton cases the degrees seem to be fewer. cue the twilight zone music.

knapplc Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Seth Rich was not murdered because of Hillary Clinton The Clinton "body bags" meme is conservative bunk So said the liberal Snopes 'facts' site. More of the sparing websites Snopes may be correct in what they have to say and maybe all of this (Clinton body bags) are all "7 degrees of separation" but in the Clinton cases the degrees seem to be fewer. cue the twilight zone music. Every site you disagree with is "liberal," ever notice that? Only problem is, Snopes.com is not a liberal site. They deal in facts, they cite their sources, and they come to conclusions based on facts rather than selectively using information (often not facts) to fit a false narrative like the sites you constantly link to. You have linked to factcheck.org yourself. They say Snopes isn't liberal. 2 Link to comment

zoogs Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 If we reduce Snopes and The Gateway Pundit to just sparring websites and who really knows, then anything goes. Such obfuscation of reality is the objective of sites like Gateway Pundit. It's also, probably unrelatedly, the aim of foreign intelligence services who would prefer the U.S. to be embroiled in domestic turmoil and distracted from pursuing international goals counter to their own country's interests. 1 Link to comment

A bit of a tangent, but I stumbled upon this gem yesterday when I was perusing my Twitter... LongRoom: Unbiased Polls As we can clearly see, when the liberal bias is removed from polls, and we get down to the nitty gritty of the real, American numbers, Trump is actually winning a very close race at the moment.

zoogs Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 "If we can agree to add __% to Trump's numbers in all of these other polls, look, he comes out ahead!" What a fascinating result 1 Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 longroom's polls don't remove bias. They remove statistically defensible weighting and assume that Republicans are under-sampled in every poll. "For a rather extensive list of biases that a statistician may introduce into a poll, there is an excellent article here by Nate Silver where he discusses the biases he uses in creating his analysis, and why he thinks his biases are good." --> http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/a-users-guide-to-fivethirtyeights-2016-general-election-forecast/ They're not even using the word bias correctly. Check out their front page. 3 Link to comment

Too bad it's complete garbage. Link to comment
