You are a malignant waste of time: are you stunted somehow? You don’t seem to be able to follow the most basic threads of conversation, yet you get supremely frustrated when you throw random statements out, and I have a hard time trying to figure out what the hell you’re talking about.

And yet...the graph for Journalists in Russia is sourced. So, what you’re basically saying is, it’s okay for YOU to use Wikipedia, but no one else.

....what? What the hell is the context of your question? When did who stop?

You didn’t seem to have a problem with using Wikipedia as a source for a list of Wikileaks releases. You only seem to have a problem with it when it disagrees with your assessment of reality. Besides, the source is not Wikipedia: it’s Journalists in Russia. Despite the site being shuttered, that was the statistics…

They DID: the level of cognitive dissonance that you are displaying is absolutely astounding.

“That guy with the knife was bad, but I bet this fellow with the leather mask and the chainsaw will be better.”

I find that Enya helps, as cheesy as it is: that works as a post-BJJ cathartic ambiance.

Here’s the real mess: while everything you say is true, he’s being replaced with Mike Pompeo. Who is being replaced in his role at the CIA with Tom Cotton.

No, it’s not: the statistics were being kept accurately until the site closed, which meant we do not have the statistics following 2014: the only thing inaccurate about the site’s statistics is that they don’t track the deaths of journalists following that year. Which means that more journalists have died in Russia…

Ah, so you’re selectively reading my statements. Let me ‘hand hold’ you through this:

Spare me: anytime someone ends up making me look like a jingoistic American, they’ve gone so far off the map, they’re on the floor.

Seeing as I said ‘the site is shuttered,’ there is no link to provide. The table they compiled, however, can be found here:

There’s something ironic about you deliberately misreading a statement I made, after you wailed and screeched about how I was misreading your words. I’d almost assume it’s deliberate, but I’ll actually take the time to explain it to you, as opposed to childishly demanding that you figure it out and that I won’t ‘hold…

In other news, the North Koreans went from missiles exploding on the launchpad to having a missile capable of striking anywhere in the continental United States, in just a few months. And the President, who threatened all out war in such an event, is now noticeably stuck between a rock and a hard place.

God....DAMN it, Garrison!

I’m getting tired of this broken record: we see Democrats and progressives get punished for their misdeeds, but Republicans and conservatives gather more and more power despite them. When the fuck is karma going to kick in?

I’m just wrong? Explain how. You don’t get a magic ‘you’re wrong!’ card and that’s the end of it. The list you provided showed a vast majority of Western countries targeted by Assange’s leaks, and yes, some African countries are Western-oriented, if not a part of the West (Kenya was a county mentioned very…

If you weren’t, then this conversation would be over, and you would have moved on. But you’re invested. If you stay invested, try not to give lazy answers.

The ‘Journalists in Russia’ database, which tracks the deaths of Russian workers, journalists, and media workers. At last count before it was shuttered in 2014 was up to 200 plus journalists, and of those 200, 165 were murders (not factoring crossfire, terrorist acts, etc.).

I’m not going to go out of my way and call it the ‘dishonest media:’ I think it’s not the result of deliberate maliciousness, but unfortunate design. Twenty-four hour news cycles demand peoples attention to stay relevant, so there’s a point when gossip becomes newsworthy just to keep attention.
