Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Yeah, I've never understood the appeal of shooting stuff. I understand the appeal of shooting stuff. I positively enjoy it with arrows, and I think I would enjoy it with guns if it were easier. Gun ranges are too expensive for my tastes. Target sports are cool. What I don't understand is why we all...

Re: Planet America

The only Bible endorsed by Trump, $59.99. https://godblesstheusabible.com/?sld=trump think it's real? because it sounds like the idiot's bible. How can it be slim, as claimed, and large print, easy to read unless they edited out a lot or used super thin paper? Thin paper would nullify the easy to r...

Re: ISF Dead...

The caption of the video holds the key. (Not that it's necessary, because I had only heard audio before.) His "bloodbath" comment came in the middle of talking about the auto industry, That's right. Because he was talking about the auto industry, specifically the effect that imports from C...

Re: ISF Dead...

Turns out, Trump's words about a blood bath were taken out of context. He was referring to the auto industry. (Disclaimer: I can't stomach Trump.) That kerfuffle really pissed me off. I didn't read the stories beyond the headlines about Trump's "bloodbath" quote. I just figured it was yet...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

The Second Amendment Dealt A Heavy Blow By New Court Decision "Heavy blow"? Falls into the "very, very important thing happened, but hardly anyone noticed except us. Click to find out something very important." I wonder what it is. District judge says you can't have machine guns?...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

I read a lot of news, and I have no doubt MSN is the worst of all of them. Agreed. I have them on my home page, but I barely count it as news. They seem to deliberately choose "outrage" topics, and miscellaneous other clickbait. Of course, that's what they intend. If I read reputable sour...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

"How the anti-gender movement is bringing us closer to authoritarianism" This falls in the category of "You really don't realize just how bad those scumbags are." Headlines like this don't just insult "the other side". They insult everyone. The author of the piece will ...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Any time court rulings appear in the media, there's potential for stupid. Here's the headline: "Supreme Court poised to block Biden administration's plan to limit health threat: '[It] would undermine … the public interest" (sic) Media doesn't really "get" law. If they don't like ...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

The most recent Trump lawsuit is one that I think has more potential to do damage than most. He is basically trying to stiff his investors in "Truth Social". They're suing. Unlike the other lawsuits, it is about current events and are not born of political motivations. The people suing are...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Given it's America I'd have been surprised if it wasn't true. I've followed so many that aren't. When I see "other party does something so evil you won't believe it", I generally don't believe it. But sometimes, it turns out to be true. This particular bill was collosally, wildly, bad. Us...
