Liberal leaning, omissions are common, incomplete one sided info pretty common. You have to be fairly well read to pick up on it. They're pretty good at their craft.

I wouldn't expect you to be in a position to judge that, so I'll give you a pass.

Well, I'm not giving you one. You called Snopes a fake news source, and yet you can't show a SINGLE EXAMPLE of what the hell you are talking about. THAT is fake news.

I told you how I've formed my view of them over the years. I'd suggest you calm down and stop attacking.

I didn't call YOU a fake news source. That's a personal attack.

There was this story:

Why police were called to a South Jersey third-grade class party

Yet look at how they handled it - as though it wasn't real:

Police Called Over 'Racist' Brownies?


They did the same thing with the sexual assault of the child in MN by three refugees.

And they did the same kind of questioning about all the sexual assaults in Cologne that took place a couple of years ago:

Did Refugees Ruin New Year's Eve?

There was something else with a Navy Seal tribute that someone posted here, too, that they got wrong. On this one, they were made to look like fools so they backpedaled.

They spin things. Papers will report something and they go above and beyond in trying to make the articles look untrue by using 'allegedly' or sources weren't named, as they did with the story about the brownies.

There are more examples, but just the ones I remembered off the top of my head.

So noted, and I've edited my post to indicate that your claim is fake news, not you.
