Where to get your news

Venerable, good ol'-fashioned conservative outlet The Federalist:

Impartiality is a difficult thing to pull off.

Yikes, REUTERS.

 

(Townhall writer; interestingly... https://twitter.com/crousselle: "holy sh#t this is not what doppelgänger means")

 

(This tweet is v2.0 from REUTERS. v1.0 said "namesake" instead.)

 

(And, for all the outrage over this story...he wasn't pulled, and it wasn't for PC reasons. Not that the mutuality of wanting to avoid a circus will stop Republican demagogues such as their GOP candidate for Virginia governor from beating that drum. CNN article here : http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/23/opinions/espn-robert-lee-charlottesville-jones-opinion/index.html)

 

(The Virginia GOP, in unrelated news, blasted the Democratic candidate in the race for "turning his back" on his heritage by wanting monuments to the Confederacy removed, "#pathetic".)

 

(They later tweeted an apology, saying this had come out all wrong and reiterating their commitment to being against racism. Except, I suppose, when it comes to loyalty to the Confederate cause.)

 

(That's all for the parentheticals)

That's just stupid and actually works against reasonable people trying to eliminate racism and calm americas nerves. 

 

It just gives the other side something Toby point to and say they are ridiculous.

Yeah, but it sounds like this guy said "Hey, my name is Robert Lee and this seems like a crazy time and place, can we get me switched to another game?" "Yes." Either party could have initiated that discussion; it's not clear. What is clear is that they tried to be nondescript about this. 

 

Yet it's being reported as "ESPN pulls guy for having the name." That defines the reaction.

And an identical number of likes. 

 

When you see the same stuff regurgitated here on Huskerboard, know what they're parroting.

You do you, Fox.

well...the republicans are watching fox news so i don't blame them for not trusting their sources

[Moiraine]

I have never put my full trust in the media. Their goal is to make $.

 

But it's far more damaging to the country to silence them, especially when the reason for wanting to silence them is that they expose your (Trump's) lies.

 

Also, imagine if they'd split that into Fox and non-Fox. The problem with a large # of Republicans is they trust Fox.

[Danny Bateman]

I can't tell if the media has some serious introspection to do or if America is just getting crazier.

 

I'm leaning towards both.

Oh, the August snows of Texas.

[zoogs]

Going to consider Julian Assange / WikiLeaks a "news source" here.

 

 

 

 

On the other hand, a benefit of the otherwise unfortunate state of affairs today is that guys like Assange feel free to show what they really are.

 

We're all people, guys. R-e-l-a-x.
