One of them just failed to win an election.

If you’re being told Assad must be outed and al queda replace him, yes, you are not being told the truth.

As I was saying, it makes NO SENSE for liberals, who decried regime change in Iraq, to suddenly decide that Assad has to go. Especially after seeing twice already, in Afghanistan and Iraq, who fills the void left behind (Al Qaeda/Taliban or ISIS, it’s all the same.)

I keep asking the left what was so bad about Assad and the best they seem to come up with is that he opposed an oil pipeline through his country

But try to put a pipeline anywhere near a Native American reservation and see what happens.

I agree.

One thing conservatives can do is do not click on the msm. If you absolutely must, when they demand you turn off your ad blocker, leave the site.

Wait 24 hours. Bloggers and vloggers will pick up the meat of the article. The 3”-5” clip from TV is all there is....the rest is filler. I discovered I missed nothing by waiting to read an article elsewhere. If you wait a week, it is available through a search, in toto.

I won’t recommend alt news sites....most of you already know who they are and everyone has a favorite. Most of those break out interesting segments of 3”-15” within a few hours of broadcast. These smaller bytes are usually commercial-free. On YT, I can also forward past commercials, if they are integral. Some channels put up alt news shows w/o commercials.

There are also special interest sites/videos and I will support those I find valuable, usually science or history or art-oriented. I lurk on several different boards, as well.

Even here on FR, I never go to the article if it is WSJ (pay wall), NYT/Boston Globe or the compost (general principles). I can search out stats and quotes from elsewhere, if I care.

And I will bet I am more basically informed than I was 10 years ago, when I was a total news junkie. For sure, I am calmer.

Oh, and check out HPB Marketplace. Most print books are available for a total of $5 w/shipping within a year of publication. Very few books are worth $35, IMO. I will sometimes break all these rules, but rarely and after due consideration.

Starve the liars and avoid the hos. It will force them to change.

The Trojan Horse theory looks to be true.

Mmmm. I think the Nobel Committee is every bit stupid enough to have given Obozo the medal just because he is a negro.
