Any place (even the NYT or WaPo) can be a legit source once in a while, well, any place except CNN. Since it is so difficult to trust any "news agencies" these days, the source documents are the key. Correct. It's not the source alone. You have to take each story on it's own and consider the combination of the source, author, and topic. Good journalism and reporting can be found in almost every msm or independent source if you dig/discern properly. Certain authors, certain topics, and certain outlets are toxic when all three align in certain ways (right or left), but the only way to discern that is to look at the whole spectrum and educate yourself on the biases of all three. It's a lot of work. And requires a lot of thinking for yourself. Which is why Gary/Ben/Bob and others struggle so mightily with it. Thinking for themselves is too dangerous and laborious for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-08/mexico-never-agreed-to-farm-deal-with-u-s-contradicting-trump President Donald Trump hinted at additional measures between the U.S. and Mexico, a day after he vowed that Mexico would soon make “large” agricultural purchases from the U.S. as part of a deal on border security and illegal immigration that allowed Mexico to avoid U.S. tariffs. “Some things not mentioned in yesterday’s press release, one in particular, were agreed on. That will be announced at the appropriate time,” Trump said Sunday in a series of four tweets about Mexico, the media and other matters. Three Mexican officials said Saturday they were not aware of any side accord in the works, and that agricultural trade hadn’t been discussed during three days of negotiations in Washington that culminated in a joint communique late Friday.

Bob in Mich Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 This Brit comedy game show would be a perfect landing spot for President Trump. It is called, 'Would I Lie to you?' One team tells a story to the other team. The listening team has to decide if the story is true or a lie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As2-JwaH3BE&t=297s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 President Trump is being pressed to back up claims he has a secret agreement for Mexico to buy billions of additional American agricultural goods, a claim Mexico denies.

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn *****, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
