We had a "revolution" of sorts 3 years ago. I doubt many want another one... TreasonousBastard Aug 2019 #6

No we didn't, we had the status quo masquerading as change. Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #7

Trump isn't the "status quo". N/T lapucelle Aug 2019 #12

Trump is the most dangerous President in modern American history, he is a racist, Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #16

Goodness - YOU'RE citing POLITICO now? Did you have a change of heart over the weekend? ehrnst Aug 2019 #8

Bazinga! George II Aug 2019 #10

No, still the same owner but an excellent author of this article. Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #11

So when Uncle Joe cites Politico, well, then it's 'different' and the ownership doesn't negate it. ehrnst Aug 2019 #13

So if a Politco article confirms an opinion it's a good source? lapucelle Aug 2019 #15

You didn't refer to any author when you shot down Politico last week... ehrnst Aug 2019 #22

I rejected the premise of your argument as well. Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #28

Apparently your opinion about how Allbritton affects the credibility of Politico has changed. ehrnst Aug 2019 #41

I have posted articles of journalists or pundits that I agree with but it doesn't change my view Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #43

You stated that Politico's 'ownership' negated their credibilty last week ehrnst Aug 2019 #47

I have yet to see you defend Albritton. Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #48

Yet another attempt to avoid the topic. ehrnst Aug 2019 #49

Albritton is the topic that you're bending over backward to avoid. Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #51

Allbritton is your topic. I'm betting you really regret bring him up at all right about now... ehrnst Aug 2019 #54

I had to run on appointments. Your very first post #8 on this thread omitted the heading of my post Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #59

It was an excellent, well balanced article and I couldn't find any lies or false memes in it. Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #38

Even though you trashed Politico as a source just last week ehrnst Aug 2019 #42

I still condemn their ownership, see post #43. Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #44

But you don't think it's a deal breakbreaker for their credibility this week. ehrnst Aug 2019 #45
