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.

I am discussing unverified news reports by NPR. Why would there be a link? NPR has never claimed to verify the news out of Gaza for the last two years. In none of NPR's stories during the period do they ever claim to have verified a single thing.

Clearly there are organizations not fond of NPR which would have documented these sorts of things, in writing, in posts, in stories that they would have verified. There are none.

You are mouthing off on things you do not know anything about except your own prejudice, unfounded by fact, celebratory in your ignorance.

If you are going to make accusations, then it is incumbent on you to offer proof. You have none, except “Oh, I’m sure this is true.”

When NPR has reported out of Gaza they have done it with “eyes on”, or in the cases where they do not have carefully attributed the reportage to “officials claim” or similar words. In no case are they simply making things up - although I’m happy to change my opinion if you have the slightest shred of proof.

I’m willing to bet you don’t. You never do. You just mouth and mouth and mouth. You’re worse than a Right Wing bloviator, except less predictable.
