This story illustrates a problem with today’s “journalism”. One news site or worse, blog, breaks a story. Then a media feeding frenzy develops if the story is interesting enough. And nobody does any fact checking to make sure the first story got it right.

Or maybe a Pulitzer isn’t worth shit anymore.

Yes, publishing fake news will tend to support the allegation that you publish fake news.  

You DO realize this is NOT a GOP shutdown, don’t you? Yes, Donald Trump is demanding funding for a wall - that’s not the problem. The problem is that the Democrats, Chucky and Nancy, won’t give him the money. Not giving the money for something is fine, except that they won’t give the money for something they not only…

Not that there isn’t some “there there” when it comes to Trump/Russia connections, but I am continually amazed by the number of otherwise intelligent people who seem to think this is some massive, grand, years-long planned conspiracy plotted out by superintelligent nefarious foreign agents and not just, y’know, Trump…

Not really. You’d be surprised how many people would be willing to take the jobs from all the people on strike, and then have all the strikers fired. You’re not swinging a very big stick when your call to action is “We’re not going to do our 100% protected, low effort, low skill job anymore and you’ll never find…

one week ago everyone considered Buzzfeed a complete joke of a news organization.

Cry me a river, you fascist bootlickers.

Spending bills originate in the house.

This shutdown has given us a tremendous opportunity to see just how big and intrusive government has become. I agree with your point about it be bullshit that the government is deciding more and more services are “essential”. So now people can honestly ask the following questions:

Please. Please. How do we make this happen? Please let the federal workers strike so we can replace them from the private sector. The whole country will thank you endlessly once we get better service at a cheaper cost. It’s nothing against federal employees; it’s the system.

I think you are right. This will never make it past the third owner (1st guy leases, next guy buys CPO and sells at the warranty end date, third guy drives until it has a gasket leak or something and it’s a $6,000 engine out service). The value of the car will plummet (hopefully) by then. You won’t be able to take…

“Free college is a nice idea moving forward, but its is not going to do as much work for our economy as loan forgiveness.”

With the absurd prices that universities are paying their nut-job professors who don’t have a clue about how the real world works, their incompetent, scandal-ridden administrators and their over-hyped, thug-loving, criminally negligent football coaches, a degree will never again be reasonably affordable to most…

Gotta segregate so we can know what to call people in america, in 2019.

“Tyler is doing better financially than most people we know, and even he can’t afford a home!”

University shouldn’t be free. You are purchasing a product and it is worth something. If it was free a lot more people would be getting degrees devaluing degrees nation wide. I do agree that prices are indeed inflated though I place the blame on the federal government financing a great majority of student loans.  If…

He could always buy a house that costs less than the median. Right?

Sounds like you took out some really bad loans. Did you look at the interest rate before you signed?

I know quite a few people who have student loans, and the got them for degrees that will never make good money. That's part of the problem too.
