In your opinion

It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen.


"Journalists" are engaged in a brazen, outright, organized effort to disseminate climate propaganda and bend the news.


You don't believe it? Have a look at this:

And you thought "journalism" was supposed to be non-partisan, honest and objective.

The Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics clearly states,

first and foremost:

“Ethical journalism should be accurate and fair. Journalists should be honest and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.”​

And specifically directs journalists to:

Label advocacy and commentary​

CNN is working to cover its own fake news story about the whistleblower that they believe heard President Donald Trump ask the Ukrainian president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.

In a story that CNN published on the controversy on Saturday it admitted that the whistleblower did not hear anything.

“The whistleblower didn’t have direct knowledge of the communications, an official briefed on the matter told CNN,” CNN said....

That is a mega change from the story that the whistleblower heard the president ask for the Ukraine to investigate Biden....

The news comes after the Ukraine Foreign Minister said that President Trump did not do what the media has accused him of.

The foreign minister of the Ukraine has torpedoed the Democrat idea that President Donald Trump pressured the Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.

“I know what the conversation was about and I think there was no pressure,” Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said in an interview with the Hromadske media outlet.​

Atkinson tagged it of urgent concern. Did you forget that part?

Not at all, but that was a comment on the procedural aspects, assuming there was a substantial complaint. It had nothing to do with the content.

It now appears the "complaint," based on CNN's own reporting, had no substantial content.

2020 Democratic presidential primary frontrunner Joe Biden (D) may have landed in hot water after denying that he and his son spoke about the younger Biden’s Ukraine dealings.

While speaking to reporters on Saturday, Biden — the former vice president from former President Barack Obama‘s administration — claimed to Fox News’ Peter Doocy that his son Hunter Biden and he “never” discussed the latter’s Ukraine “business dealings” after the younger Biden had said the opposite in a July New Yorker piece.​

Meanwhile...

Democrats wrote to the Ukrainian government in May 2018 urging it to continue investigations into President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign — collusion later found not to exist.

The demand, which came from U.S. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Patrick Leahy (D-VT), resurfaced Wednesday in an opinion piece written by conservative Marc Thiessen in the Washington Post.

Ironically, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declared Tuesday that the mere possibility that President Trump had asked Ukraine to continue an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden — even without a quid pro quo — was enough to trigger an impeachment inquiry. (Biden boasted in 2018 that he had forced Ukraine to remove its prosecutor by threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid; he did not tell his audience at the Council on Foreign Relations that the prosecutor was looking into a firm on whose board his son, Hunter Biden, was serving.)​

Would it be appropriate for a sitting US president to ask the Ukraine to help find "dirt" on a political rival?

Asking Ukraine to investigate corruption on what is obvious unethical act by Biden and his son is appropriate

Somebody please tell me: what in hell was Hunter Biden doing to earn $600,000 a year from a Ukrainian gas company ?

Do you think she’s got a book deal in the works a year after testifying before the Senate?

When she stops talking,
I'll ask...

There was a lot of suspicious shit going on behind the scenes with her - most of it revolving around Diane Feinstein to how she found her lawyer - better yet who paid her legal fees.

“Mr. Atkinson also found reason to believe that the whistle-blower may not support the re-election of Mr. Trump and made clear that the complainant was not in a position to directly listen to the call or see the memo that reconstructed it before it was made public, according to the Justice Department memo, which referred only to a single phone call between Mr. Trump and an unnamed foreign leader,” it said.

This means, if correct, that the Democrats are basing impeachment of The President of the United States on hearsay from someone who wants President Donald Trump to not be reelected.​

Meanwhile, who's threatening Ukraine and talking like gangsters?

Democratic Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Thursday that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky “did not make any connection” between the then-cut off U.S. military aid and investigative requests he was receiving from Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.

Murphy visited Zelensky earlier this month, reportedly telling the Ukrainian president that complying with requests to investigate the son of former Vice President Joe Biden could result in dwindling Democratic support for his country....

“What I told Zelensky was pretty simple,” he said. “It was common sense. I said, ‘listen, don’t get involved in the 2020 election. When you’re dealing with the United States of America, deal with the State Department. Talk to our ambassador. Don’t talk to the president’s personal political representatives.'”

...

On Saturday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said that his boss did not feel any pressure from President Trump resulting from their telephone call. Zelensky himself acknowledged as much on Thursday.​

And then there's this....

Investigative Reporter John Solomon claims he has documents, 400 pages of them, that will place Joe Biden in the middle of the Ukrainian scandal. He will be releasing them on Thursday. Solomon says he has documents that prove that Joe Biden lied about why he got the Ukrainian prosecutor fired that was investigating his son, Hunter. He says the documents prove that Biden had the prosecutor fired in order to protect his son – and himself. If he has what he says he has, this will blow the entire Ukraine hoax and Democrat impeachment investigation wide open.

In case you have been living on another planet (or in the People’s Republic of California), Joe Biden took his son to the Ukraine with him, and his son was given a place on the board of Burisma, an energy company in Ukraine. This was done despite the fact that Hunter Biden had exactly zero experience in the energy sector. Then, he traveled to China with his father and John Kerry’s stepson, and ended up with a 1.5 billion dollar contract, again with no prior experience.​

I thought the NYT was fake news.

One link from the NYT does not substantiate your ocean of bullshit from all the other garbage links.

You read crap from the daily caller and the Federalist Papers and believe them as fact. Then ironically go on to call others uninformed or ignorant. If you want to be taken seriously don't quote propaganda sources.

I cite my sources, which over time have included publications from across the political spectrum, but I only quote them for the facts they contain. I cite with precision so that others can likewise weed through their spin.

Now it's your turn to be precise:

Whom have I called "uninformed or ignorant"?

Quite a few of your posts. Everything from passive aggressive put downs to straight out liars. I'm not going through your posts for that. Reading your bullshit once is enough.

You read bird cage liner. If you are looking for facts - a massively humorous claim - then you wouldn't have to source from propaganda. But you do, so what you post are affirmations for what you believe and what you want to believe.

Except that I rarely accuse and, when I do, I provide evidence.

Like the above exchange. That's evidence of your rhetorical shallowness. I gave you several opportunities to support your claims and accusations, and you replied with excuses and evasions.
