Either, liberal or leftist, it's comical that you are making judgments on my sources.

And i'm a leftist, meaning i'm to the left of liberals.

A liberal telling me to make sure my sources are factual, how comical.

The irs targeted groups of all ideologies, conservative politicians manufactured a controversy so that they would point to that as the reason they defunded the irs when in reality all they were doing was stripping the irs of the resources needed to go after the biggest tax dodgers which consist mainly of the donor class and rich republican billionaires.

Conservative politicians did the same thing with Benghazi. They literally manufactured a scandal even though Hillary did nothing wrong, and they held 33 different hearings after of which they admitted it was for the sole purpose of bringing down Hillary's poll numbers. Which is just so disgusting, to use the lives of 4 dead americans for politics, when Hillary was a target rich environment to begin with. A made up benghazi scandal was not required to criticize her.

Again, news with a perspective is not bad, in my opinion it's even preferred. Otherwise you end up with fail outlets like cnn, who try to both sides issues, pretend not to know which side is lying, and bring both sides on to argue and squabble about things that shouldn't even be debatable.

Just make sure your sources are factual, because that is the difference between news and a tabloid. washington examiner, breitbart, drudge report, daily mail, these publications that have constantly and consistently failed fact checks and have told stories that are wildly inaccurate. These sources are no different than right wing tabloids.

Ironically Fox news has pretty excellent print reporting. They get a bad rap because they're tv anchors are clownish liars and partisan hacks that are paid to obfuscate and distort the facts, but the print side, aside from the occasional deceptive headline is pretty good. That would be an example of a source with a right wing bias with some credibility. Fox News loses all credibility the second it hits the airwaves so I really wish the print side that is full of actual serious journalists could find a way to separate itself from the tv side.

It claims to be factual.

I have proven that to be a total lie in previous threads.

AND AGAIN, you do love defending liberal outlets.

@calatar

I have already proven that Wikipedia isn't a trusted source. You can find the thread here if you look.

Wikipedia isn't intended to be a "news source" - and the only bias is the bias of the 10's of thousands of contributors there!

You know, Fox News is a terrible kid's show! My 2 y/o granddaughter just won't sit through it, so I had to go back to Daniel Tiger & Teletubbies!

My hammer did a terrible job of putting in those screws... they fell out a few days later!

Right tool, right place!

secondly, the bias is not at all the problem, there is nothing wrong with getting news that has a preference, the problem is this source has failed multiple fact check making them uncredible

Sorry, but media bias "fact checker" is pretty biased themselves.

Liberal sites are rated more toward the center than conservative sites are.

You can believe whatever you like.

also my guy this website is not a good source, they are known for lies.

"medium credibility" along with numerous failed fact checks including the one we're talking about, as liberal and progressive groups were targeted as well.

Clearly, liberals have no idea what is going on.

As I said, DuckDuckGo is your friend since they don't hide things that make liberals look bad, like most other browsers do.

@chanelkokoro

Defunding the IRS, after Obama used it as a political weapon? The IRS should not be political.

what are you talking about?

Also, without fixing the tax code, there are too many loopholes for rich people, with expensive lawyers, to abuse.

By doing that the irs don't have the resources to go after the richest tax dodgers instead they spend their time going after the poor.

Democrats constantly whine about tax avoidance, but they never, ever do anything to fix the loopholes.

I'm 53 and I can remember several calls for the tax code to be simplified and NEITHER party does anything to fix it.

Youtube Video

Proof that Bill Gates is a total fucking hypocrite and scum of the earth.

lololol so for those of you that didn't watch the video it's just 6 minutes and 35 seconds psa on why we should tax the hell out of the rich.

bro if you want to complain about rich people buying rich people shit and living in craven luxe, you need to start asking why we allow them to evade taxes and pay their workers starvation wages. conservatives are the ones obsessed with protecting "job-creators" like bil gates.

also, didn't even know bill gates wrote a book but I don't care. although he had the right stances on the environment, defeating climate change will take a collectivist effort. Asking individuals to live by the right standard while the majority of others refuse to will not solve the problem. We need laws that everyone will adhere to.
