Comment Re: It will sort out (Score 1) 216

Exactly. Like how they handled the issue of Hillary's health problems.

During the last presidential campaign, Hillary had some eye issues. But there was no way in hell Snopes was going to confirm Hillary had health problems. Not when she was running against literally Hitler.

So what they did is set up a false question so they could knock it down and paste a big fat FALSE on it. They framed the issue in the form of a question nobody was asking, namely:

> CLAIM: Hillary Clinton cancelled a campaign event because of "bizarre eye movements." (http://www.snopes.com/clinton-bizarre-eye-movements/)

But that's not what people were talking about. People were talking about her eye, and her health, IN GENERAL. People are saying she has serious, unspecified issues IN GENERAL and that it's completely obvious! But they have to get SPECIFIC with a fucking strawman in order to call it "FALSE".

PLUS, they had NO EVIDENCE it is FALSE. Just that they can't prove it.

> We found **no evidence** that Clinton suddenly cancelled her North Carolina campaign event over strange eye movements, nor did we find any evidence of anything wrong with her eyes in September 2016. While Clinton suffered a concussion in 2012, **there is no evidence** that she has been diagnosed with strabismus or any long-term eye anomaly as a result of it. Even if she did have strabismus, presence of the condition does not automatically imply poor health overall.

That does not make it FALSE! THat makes it 'INDETERMINED' which is a rating they actually use quite often.

Except when it comes to Hillary. They were SO in Hillary's corner, it was stomach churning. The site is completely worthless, and by this time has about the same level of credibility as Media Matters (namely, zero)

Well, yeah. Companies are created by and run by people, and as such, they reflect the tendencies of their creators.

Who do you know that never lies? That never has cheated at anything. Being outraged that companies reflect the people who created them is kind of silly. Homo sapiens is a flawed species in many ways, and his creations, as products of his mind, are going to reflect those flaws.

Comment trying to scare parents about the interwebs (Score 0) 108

a big part of the establishment realizes that the white males are being radicalized by white populist politics on the internet...the alt-right memes and forums etc..this scares the establishment...so there is concerted campaign to scare parents about how the internet can hurt kids...so that the parents keep white kids away from the internet long enough for the establishment to flood america with enough third worlders so that the white vote is meaningless...it's all about propping up the ponzi economy with immigration so that the corporations can keep making money.

Comment then the wifi allergy (Score 2, Interesting) 65

back a few years ago when it looked like maybe there might be a wireless alternative to comcast time warner, there was a sudden explosion of people and nonprofit organizations claiming that there were many people suffering from wifi sensitivity...I believe that these were bogus claims being backed by money from comcast, time warner etc...watch for wifi allergy complaints to make a comeback if this idea takes off
