If you're going to rely on a source then you can't just rely on half of what they said.

Trump Guilty
- Thread starter GreyGhost
- Start date
You don't think a fellow gtamer should talk about his crash in general forum, you don't think we made it to the moon, so why would any one listen to you.
That’s ordinary when people don’t agree with you. Most will try to attack your point.
Most will take things out of context to make it sound like the other person is wrong
I didn’t say we didn’t make it to the moon.
Like when Biden said that violent crime was down?
Rule one in journalism was to check all sources. That's the ruin of news media today; in their haste to publish, they've developed a list of "reliable" sources, that have their own agendas.
The ruin of media today is running stories that generate clicks/watches to sell ads. Many news outlets miss the mundane stuff that doesn’t do that but is:
1. Important for showing context in many cases.
2. Important for showing that not everything is doom and gloom.
Doom and gloom and drama sells ads.
True but there’s usually two sides. For instance, Trump is 24/7 drama but Biden is just doing his job in a reasonably stable boringly professional way. Stable Biden work is just not dramatic enough so we get 24/7 Trump.
Trump is media savvy enough to know this though and that’s why he sucks all the oxygen out of things.
Oh certainly there are many cases where there are legitimate two or even multiple viewpoints worth exploring. eg What to do in Palestine
Moon landings questioned .,..not so much.
It's where the media manufactures "two sides"
eg Is AGW real ?? That one is buried.
What to do about it can legitimately foster many valid viewpoints.

And that agenda is either Right Wing idiocy, or money.
EDIT - I should add in extreme Left Wing idiocy as well, these days, because I'm seeing some online "news outlets" that are really stretching a point.
Because the bad orange man says dangerous things like this:

Flagging: Trump's plea to voters last night: "Get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, it will be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore ... In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have...

This election is not about policy. It is about whether the USA retains a democratic structure with checks and balances, or devolves into religious authoritarianism.

Given the current state of American politics I don't think 'true' is the right word for much of anything.

i don’t know what to make of that speech. Trump tailors speeches to the audience, in this case he was addressing bible thumping Christians.Because the bad orange man says dangerous things like this:

I’m sure he’d like to be King, not sure there is a realistic path to that.
Was that speech foreshadowing his plan or telling Christians everything will be so good in 4 years that Republicans won’t need every single voter to turn out.
I guess we’ll see. First he has to win, not sure that’s a slam dunk any more, Harris will close the gap.
All politicians tailor their speeches. All politicians make promises they can’t keep. What differentiates Trump from the rest is that he goes even further than the fringes of what most others would do. It’s out and out lies.
