The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

NYT? Only to leftists. Their coverage is shot through with loaded premises and bias, none of which constitutes the Who, the What, the Where, the How, and the Why.

Not really true. Independent rating entities consistently rank the NYT is accurate. I'm sure there is bias, but it's mostly going to be in what they report and what they don't.

The point of course is that this Source Policing threads...

...is that is almost impossible to do. I as much as said that. Private entities (like Dominion) seem to be the only ones that can do it. There were the Sandy Hook parents, but Alex Jones was not a behemoth like FOX.

...you're claiming that whatever was said doesn't matter because of where it comes from.

Don't put words in my mouth. I said what I meant, and that is that sources that are unreliable should not be trusted without verification. Sure, Alpha could break the next Watergate. Could happen. But I'd verify it. In fact, if the NYT broke it, I'd still verify it because it is such a major scandal that I would want multiple independent reports to know what happened.

Being informed is work. Just seeing it on TV is lazy, and not adequate.
