Breaking: CNN Reports Darren Wilson Did Not Suffer a Fractured Eye Socket

Yea I was wondering why we aren't looking at a CNN source?

We can look at CNN all we want but it is an anon source. At this point there is so much BS flying around, between all the hews sources that I don't trust any of them.
 
This is without a doubt the most intelligent post I have seen in these debates so far.

Too bad you are going to get lumped in as a "racist white conservative who always defends the cops." All because you want justice. Not "justice" where you prosecute someone for a racial agenda.

Yeah, you probably have that right. It doesn't matter tho.
 
Even a blind chipmunk finds an acorn once in a while.

Or a pine cone. I counted at least 20 chipmunks around here today. I am going to get out my 5 gallon bucket and start drowning chipmunks. They keep getting in my sticker stack and crapping on my lumber.
 
Are you denying there is a media bias. I only know of 1 network that is viewed as hyper conservative because it doesnt echo the liberal by line the other networks do.

Fox is right but by far not as right as they are labeled. There is often an objective opinion on their commentary shows.

Print journalists are even more skewed to the left. Its difficult to find someone that isnt a cheerleader for liberal causes.

Radio is dominated by conservatives but they are not taken as anything but entertainment. I dont listen to rush. Few i know do. But if you are keeping score, the left have about 100 in the tank for every one of the right

Exactly - you're great at playing the victim.
 
I think you are giving Holder too much credit. I think he will scour this situation to push his personal agenda. Wouldn't be the first time.

Won't be the first time for Holder, or won't be the first time for an AG? And your position assumes that there's no justice in the US because our justice department pursues agendas instead of justice.
 
Monte, I agree with you on the existence of bias from Fox but maybe not to the degree that you believe. I never take Fox news at face value. I think all news organizations are bias so I try to look for the original source. But did you really just use Mediamatters as a source? Really? About validity? Really?

I said there's plenty more. Everybody apparently trusts something different, which source of FOX news bias would be better for you? Mrs. Clinton says Al Jazeera!
 
So does it matter if there was a facial fracture vs swelling?

No, it doesn't. If there is a medical record that he was treated for facial injuries following the incident, doesn't really change a thing.

Holder. Exactly.

If that is what you gather from my post then i question your ability for reading comprehension.
 
The right does just as good of a job playing victim. Go hang in the media bias forum if you don't think so. Or look for any thread where the "War on Christians" comes up.

All he has to do is watch Rush Limbaugh. Most of what he does is whine about how bad the conservatives are treated. Poor Rush.

I apologize. I must have been thinking of his failed TV career, not his radio program.
 
So Holder is the only AG to advance an agenda as opposed to justice? Is that your final answer?

Holder should never have been AG. No, I can't recall an AG promoting a racial agenda like this. Why didn't he charge the New Black Panthers in Philly with voter intimidation? His contempt of Congress ("Fast and Furious") has been deplorable. And if President Obama weren't pleased with this agenda, Holder would have been gone--as he should have been--a long time ago.

Here is what Chaka Fattah said about the Philly incident as I think about what's going on in Ferguson:

Rep. Chaka Fattah, a Democrat from Philadelphia, said the Black Panthers "should not have been there." But he said the GOP was making too much out of a fleeting incident involving a couple of people.

"The most unethical thing a person can do is make allegations based on absolutely nothing," Fattah said. "The only issue of race is singling out this particular decision...That this rises to national significance is bogus on its face."

I'm distracting nothing. I have no problem with the source, you only do because you don't like their findings. If they produced a report sympathetic with your ideology, you'd have no problem with the source.
Maybe, maybe not. Considering the inherent at Columbia, I seriously doubt that they would give any conservative leaning source a fair shake.

Nope, he is one in a long line of AGs that have pushed agendas. That doesn't make it right. The problem is that we have grown to accept it. Nixon was as dirty as they get and shopped around a lot to find one that would cover his ass. He didn't succeed, which is a good thing. I guess what I am saying is that two wrongs don't make it right.

I try to dig up the source, like the GAO or legal documents, or the govt agency that is putting out the information. The IRS stuff is a good example. I hate to stray from the subject but in that situation I go to the IG or the Oversight Committee and try to read the document, watch CSpan videos if possible. Newsmax is the most misleading web site I have ever seen (except MSNBC). They are conservative but they will spin like a washing machine. So will Fox or Huffpo. I want pure information, not flavored crap. I might read articles on Fox but that is just a starting point for something interesting to research. I will never take Fox News at face value.

Hillary is not someone I would seriously take advice from. I think she is just chuckling because Al Jazeera is trying to stick it to Gore. Her and Al have never liked each other much. :wink2:

Ok, just making sure that you weren't being biased.

Apparently you missed Clintons testimony to congress on fake news verses real news. Otherwise, do you think politicians are trustworthy and squeaky clean?

That whole post was the typical "Waaah, the media is persecuting us."

Why don't conservatives buy more media outlets that would give them better press?

LOL, hell no. Politicians are 80 % ego and 20% spin, usually. Sometimes worse. They are the most narcissistic people we have in our society for the most part.
 
I guess I dont get the premise of this thread, you mean if his eye socket isnt broke and his face just swollen that means he shouldnt have defended himself then? :roll:
