What you did is ignore the questions I asked. You can't seem to get past your Partisan Hate.

IMO, most Trumpbots and Anti-Trumpers would agree the negative tweets and comments made in response to reading the Declaration of Independence reflected Civic Ignorance.

We both write what we want to. All grins to your description of my questions as just diversion.

Unless and until the DEM brain trust improves it's ability to calculate more accurately, unify it's forces and successfully implement strategy, we remain on the sidelines as the Resistance. As for me, I'd like to get back to Winning! Peace to you and yours!

It's no secret that a lot of conservatives consider NPR to be a propaganda wing of the DNC. There are a lot of people who don't read or listen before going off on the deep end which certainly these Trump supporters did. You know what they say about assumption making a fool of oneself. These Trump supporters did that and some more.

Perhaps they are like Trump, regardless of what is being said one attacks first, ask questions later. In this case they didn't even bother to read or listen. Just attacked. Fools everyone of them.

It is not surprising to me though. Not in today's polarized atmosphere in Washington and in the media. Everything is either 100% pro or anti Trump or pro or anti Republican and Democratic Party. No in-betweens. Regardless of what it is if it comes from the Democrats, it's evil to Republicans and vice versa, from the Republicans, it's evil to Democrats. No one listens to the other side anymore, they just scream and holler over the tops of everyone's head.

On the other hand, it is a good point that any story whose source is rawstory is not reliable at all. I would not use them as a source of information.

Never the less... I would not use that as a source, period. Using that as a source is intellectually dishonest, or ignorant at best.

you are off in the bushes on an irrelevant topic
 
From another thread on this:

To be fair, Donald supporters had reason to suspect that a document railing against an authoritarian tyrant was directed at him.

You know, if you would just google "NPR declaration of independence" you would have been able to read the story from all kinds of sources. Its not hard to check, seriously.

Did RawStory report this incorrectly? Yes or No?

It's spun a bit worse than most.. On the other hand, just because ONE of their stories is accurate does not mean you should use THAT as the source. If it is so common, then pulling the information from another source and use something that isn't so unreliable. It's a matter of integrety.. and not just this particular story. It is any story. I think it is important to use sources that are more reliable. rawstory is not one of those sources. If I point to sources on the right that are bad sources, to be consistent, I have to be perfectly reasonable to point to sources on the left that are bad sources too.. and rawstory is one of those bad sources.

In this particuarly case, it mostly is true. However, I am still going to say "If the story is true, use a more reliable news source'. For example, I wouldn't use rawstory or buzzfeed. That gives me the integrity to point out about such sites as 'investors.com' , Breitbart and "The Blaze". Don't you think if it's a valid story, that using a more reliable news source for the information gives the story better integrity?

Mostly? Nice dodge.

Its true. And you could have spent about 2 minutes looking on the internet to figure that out...but, instead, you used that time to make a whiny post about the source that only showed that you didn't do the barest amount of any investigation before making your post....

Does that change the point that using rawstory as a source is , well stupid as all heck?

Was Raw Story correct? Yes Did you rant and rave without doing any due dilligence? Yes.

Are you digging a further hole? Yes LOL
