Utah Pete, regarding your thread on news reporter...

[wyliec]

I guess it was pulled. The only news person I listen to, if you want the uncensored truth, is John Oliver. He is a true patriot from from G.B.

I have been meaning to ask if you watch the tv series Homeland?

[Bob Denman]

Yes; it was removed.

I don't watch Homeland, no. What network carries it?

I don't understand what was objectionable about the thread. I thought it was interesting that a Fox News insider was accusing that network of pushing inflammatory propaganda, not news. Whatever.

[LeftCoast]

It’s on Showtime. The first few seasons were very very good. Last season and this season have gone off the rails a bit but thematically it’s interesting because they are trying to take on information warfare, Alex Jones/Hannity/Russia and how America is being torn apart from the inside.

Any guess on my part would be pure speculation regarding your thread. As for Homeland, it's on Showtime; however, I use my Android tv box to pirate (for lack of a better word) the series. It doesn't cost me anything to watch all the premium channels you normally pay for.

Hmmm. How does that work? We stream Netflix, Amazon Prime and CBS and don't get anything else.

A quick google uncovered links to this fox event.

Interesting that an article about a news analyst leaving fox is pulled - likely because it's "political" - says it all, really.

[wyliec]

Hmmm. How does that work?

All you need is an internet connection, and an Android tv box connected to your cable ready tv. I ordered my 2 Android boxes from China. If you purchase the boxes here in the States with the apps/add-ons included, they charge about $200. Guess how much the apps/add-ons cost. They cost nothing. So, I downloaded Kodi (that's what I would call the brain of the system) and all the add-ons I wanted for zero dollars. You can also get current in theater movies; but, some of them are from hand held cams, and the quality is not good, others are close to excellent.

I requested that it be pulled. In the thread title: Pete referred to the subject of the story as as "Patriot".
This could have been an interesting discussion, but he set it up as this fellow being the only honest reporter at Fox.
That's just insulting...

He is a retired Army Lt. Col. from the intelligence services. He was offended by Fox news' deliberate distortions of truth. Don't you think that's interesting?

It may be "just insulting" - or it may be largely true !

Without discussion - with censorship based on one adjective - we will never know, will we?

Anyone who believes in the impartiality of the press is naive. Anyone who gets all their news from any one source is inane. Anyone who gives up objectivity for knee-jerk reactions is doomed. Time will tell.......

If alarm bells don't ring when a right wing news analyst quits because partisan reporting has morphed into propaganda, even too unbalanced for him, then we are all doomed.

That was his opinion, insulting or not. Are we not allowed opinions here? Maybe I missed it, was the thread you had pulled political in nature.:dontknow:

Well said, Lois. How can a news report about this very well qualified analyst be offensive? How can truth be offensive? Beats hell out of me.

Is the the “expert” that fired the armalite rifle in normal semi-automatic and then by pulling the trigger faster fired it in “fully semi-automatic” for CNN’s fake news story?

[Bob Denman]

His entire premise for the thread, was to insult opposing viewpoints. We didn't need another flamefest...

I have no idea what you're talking about; is this related to the story about the Fox News analyst in some way?

[UtahPete]

His entire premise for the thread, was to insult opposing viewpoints.
Well, I find that statement about my 'premise' very inaccurate at best and thin-skinned at worst.

[loisk]

That was his opinion, insulting or not. Are we not allowed opinions here? Maybe I missed it, was the thread you had pulled political in nature.:dontknow:

Just google Fox News analyst quits - not a political post but perhaps too topical for some?

[loisk]

His entire premise for the thread, was to insult opposing viewpoints. We didn't need another flamefest...

What?

The "premise" for the thread was to pass on a newsworthy item. As the original thread was pulled, the rest is speculation only...

What opposing viewpoint? that the news analyst didn't quit?

Forget it, I'm out of here

I'm back - is the opposing viewpoint, challenging which so insulted you, that Fox News is objective, balanced reporting? ........

[ARtraveler]

It seems to be getting warmer. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

[Bob Denman]

Well, I find that statement about my 'premise' very inaccurate at best and thin-skinned at worst.

I requested that it be pulled, because I could see the scrap-storm that it would cause. It turns out that I was right!

[newbert]

Yeah - And I'm sure that you would have also requested that it be pulled if it involved an analyst quitting at MSNBC and complaining that MSNBC is nothing but propaganda, right? Sure....... We don't need another flamefest when it involves a news story you're unhappy with. Otherwise, pile on, right?

[UtahPete]

Bob I think you should be pleased that defenders of democracy are protesting blatantly discriminatory censorship of ideas.nojoke

[loisk]

Bob the only scrap-storm / flaming which is happening is about the who, how and why of the link and original thread being pulled ! And even that is not a storm - merely mainly calm discussion.

No storm about the actual article...

So I have to say you were right, but oh so definitely not in the way you think, no, believe

Let's try looking at this from another direction...
There are municipalities in California that are actively seeking ways to get out of the entire Sanctuary State & City status...

If we had started a thread about this, and called those local Government personnel "True Patriots": What would your reactions have been? :dontknow:
(Be honest now: you'd have been upset enough to take a very confrontational approach.)

I'm getting pretty tired of the entire left/right/liberal/conservative/dog-lover/cat-lover/po-TAY-to/po-TAH-to foolishness that's been going on in here. Nobody is going to change anybody else's mind, so leave the ugliness in your own bathroom mirrors.

Very mature. To clarify - sarcasm here.

Re your idea about getting a hot blonde, with or without big hooters, my husband and I decided against your recommendation.

oh and bob d - too easy so I won't bother

To be honest, it wouldn't bother me at all.

Here's what I think. T-r-u-m-p was mentioned in the article in a not so flatteringly way, as was O-b-a-m-a. But, we all know who your man is, and that upset you. You really should just call a spade a spade. Yes, I'm not being very politically correct by saying that, and that may be considered racist. I don't care. Life goes on.

If you really are getting tired of all the left/right etc. etc., you may need to take a break. Oh, I'm sorry, on S.L.'s I should say take a brake.

Utah Pete,

Before this thread is pulled: Netflix- Hard Rain (movie, not series):thumbup:

[Bob Denman]

Ron,
I didn't look at the original story as a "My guy; versus your guy" article. nojoke
The subject of the story was a person who hadn't done a prime-time story in years...
Was this just his attempt to grab a headline??? :dontknow:

Wow, good thing it's not naked. Maybe the feet are on backwards.

Is that a picture of the indian Al was talking about.

This tattoo probably wouldn't be the best choice for "going up the Country", with your biker buddies either... :shocked:

As a moderate looking from the outside it sure looks to me like there's a lot of dissension in the ranks. A lawyer quits today, angst about tariffs, and now even George Will is expressing unhappiness. There are interesting times coming!

if you don't know who John Oliver is, he's an English comedian. Without posting a link, google John Oliver and any current issue that you are interested in.
