Politics And Current Events
My question particularly relates to lying by corporations or news agencies (aka “fake news”). Do you think the government has any role in trying to curtail this so that consumers don’t get mislead (such as a company claiming something falsely to sell product or a news agency stating a falsehood, su...

Shyster, please list all unbiased news sources that we have in this country. I’ll hang up and listen. There aren't any. New organizations just represent the opinions of the people that work for them, and people are loaded with biases. But the fact that everyone has biases does not prove anything ab...

So you deny your confirmation bias? This whole pages long diatribe was built on the foundation of a logical fallacy. I take L’s a lot, it’s okay for you to take one. Unusual that you fell into a logical fallacy trap but as you know, you ruined any standing you had when you took that approach. Confi...

I’m someone who makes a living in education. I’ve taught in some of the most middling schools in front of countless average minds. I make just north of half six figures evaluating if people learn or don’t learn, so I have plenty of understanding on this and should be trusted. No one is learning any...

Can anyone who has recently been to both places opine on how GE and Wegman’s do compare price-wise? I haven't been in a Wegman’s in decades. One opened in Binghamton NY in the last couple years my late bum father lived there, and he took me there a couple times during my visits. That was probably 30...

Don’t be so mad that your confirmation bias clouded your view. After all, in a court of law, if it was pointed out you argued using a logical fallacy it’s an automatic win. Here's a three-hour long podcast from über-reliable and unbiased source Wendy Bell that clearly explains how the NYT is fake n...

I’m going to ignore all your trolling because you used the wrong “they’re.” Obviously a sign of an ignoramus.

Are you disputing their reporting that Alito flew that flag in his NJ beach house?
So they made it up?

The difference, Brainiac, is the Times article is news reporting not an opinion piece.

Buddy. It’s a libertarian Think Tank backed by the Koch brothers. Think Tank workers put out work that aligns with their backers because they get paid well to do it. I know you like it because it aligns with your views (which seem more warped by the day) but it’s pretty easy to dismiss an opinion p...

I don't get it, is the premise here that we're not supposed to dismiss arguments/viewpoints from biased sources? You certainly can if the arguments/viewpoints are themselves incorrect or biased on the merits, and you can say how and why. But the mere fact that a source is, in your opinion, biased o...

I suggest touching grass every so often. It’s nice.
Telling someone to "touch grass" is also a fallacy in that it does not respond to the merits of what someone is saying.
