Indeed. Us liberals shouldn’t be giving him such gifts. Protecting speech used to be a liberal value, and we should take it up again before this whole thing bites us in the ass. Because it will.

Exactly this. It’s so passive-aggressive, it’s not open to condemnation (except here, perhaps). More fodder.

Our country would not have withstood another 4 years of Democrat economic policies.

Hillary Clinton Director Comey had been “extremely careless,” but “no reasonable prosecutor” could bring a case against her him.

Warren lied about being an American Indian in order to get into Harvard. She’s the last person who should be grilling someone on ethics.

racist schemes?

How can you say he’s in no one’s pocket when he’s accepting pharmaceutical money and rejecting bills that increase competition and lower drug prices?

I understand the value that the ACA has brought to many people, I really do, but I’m on the other side of it. My insurance premium has gone up about 400%. I pay $800 a month to keep my husband and I insured and I have never met the deductible. So we’re paying just shy of $10,000 per year for the privilege of not being…

I’m arguing that more information does not necessarily equate to being better informed. If information can’t be verified what is the point of it? Anyone who forms an opinion based on unverified information is at best drawing a conclusion based on incomplete data, and at worst, incorrect data. That is precisely what…

Why am I not surprised you are a paranoid whiner with a persecution complex?

Yeah totally. Glenn Greenwald (a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who made his bones vehemently criticizing the Bush administration) is a hack and FUCKING BUZZFEED is a paragon of journalistic courage and integrity.

Sure. Of course, had Clinton won, we’d be halfway toward WW3 with Russia. Seems like that won’t be the case with Trump. So even in your hypothetical, Trump isn’t even worse than the person he ran against, let alone the worst person in U.S. history.

According to Julia Ioffe, she and other journalists were offered this story and rejected it due to lack of verifiability, before Buzzfeed jumped on it.

But the WikiLeaks dumps weren’t bullshit. Would you prefer the news to be things that are bullshit to things that are not?

Except the validity of those emails was never questioned.

Tell that to Gawker.

you realize CNN is fake news right? they told viewers reading leaked emails from wikileaks WAS ILLEGAL. they also spent the entire election night saying WE need to win these two more states if WE want to win this election

The problem here is Buzzfeed, which actually did screw up big time. From the few people I’ve met who work in journalism, there is not a lot of love lost between more traditional media and Buzzfeed (or those like it). Multiple journalists are on Twitter calling them out for publishing unverified material without at…

Manning knew what she was doing. She dumped millions of unread intelligence documents, without regard to the safety of people who put their lives at risk to help the United States. It was not an act of a whistle-blower, it was the act of a disgruntled PFC in the Army who was mad her life and career were going nowhere.…

I think it’s quite likely he was a member of the KKK but it is not conclusive. People are acting like I am saying “Fred Trump was 100% not a Klansman” when what I said was “it is not 100% certain that Fred Trump is a Klansman”. I guess I could have corrected them at some point but it was kind of funny watching their…
