Lol, cmon. You can’t exclude both 9/11 and the pulse nightclub and still consider that a good source.

if you view the Pulse shooting as motivated by homophobia more than Islamic extremism

This has nothing to do with the US.

Do they have a large anti-immigrant, islamophobic, nationalistic movement?

I’m admittedly pretty ignorant about politics in Spain. Do they have a large anti-immigrant, islamophobic, nationalistic movement?

Why the pivot?

I’m always a little sorry for the very good news staff at the WSJ for how their paper is also host to an opinion section full of some of the craziest dog-whistling racists in the country. The same also goes for the Tribune, which actually still published Peggy Noonan. Peggy Noonan!

Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, Jason.

I can’t say if Joanne Kaufman is a member of such, but there is a certain segment of New York City that is deeply provincial and can’t conceive of life outside of the Upper West Side.

I’m not doubting that there were battles fought there, but you mentioned this one like it was a big battle that people should know about. I’d actually call that a “skirmish”, maybe even a “kerfuffle”. It might have been the most intense kerfuffle of the entire war, though.

They were smart to settle. They would have lost. I saw the segments and the jury would see them too. There’s no way they would come away from there thinking that ABC News was not implying that pink slime was unsafe. You watched it I assume. Be honest, you probably didn’t have an opinion at all regarding pink slime…

impressive how incorporated their publishing of a sex tape to investigative journalism into our nutrition production
