Who care if Fox News uses infowars as a source. If they want to, that just invalidates the article in question.

If you want to invalidate Fox News because they used infowars as a source, I'm sure I can find that every single media outlet used them as a source, are you going to invalidate them also?

Uses infowars as a tool to invalidate a poster... Calls him Flower Head (this insult? still makes no sense) because of it...

Fox News gets a pass. Excuses are made.

Yes. Please go find us examples of every media source using infowars.

That person uses nothing but infowars as a source. Or are you going to say otherwise?

As for the examples:

Here's one from MSN

Here's a transcript of a CNN broadcast

Washington Post

Heck, an even more recent one from Washington Post

New York Times loves infowars.com

Let's not forget your absolute favorite source, Huffington Post.

3 minutes, you certainly looked at those sources closely, didn't you?

Ok, I'll let you decide which media outlets that I can show you that they use a source, I already shown the important and influential ones, and I shown Huffington Post did it too.

Or are you being obtuse to the point I made, where everyone uses everyone else as a source, including lunatic sources like infowars.com.

You shown?

I'm more surprised that you actually went and looked for it lol... No, I didn't look at them at all and I don't know why you'd think I would... I was just seeing how much time you'd actually waste for no reason at all...

So why does a poster join the "flower head" legion for pointing out a fox article that links people to an infowars map but media somehow gets a pass because "everyone does it"?

It's not that hard to do a google search.

But hey, maybe I want to show that I am making an example. You notice that some of my arguments are "you make the claim, you prove it yourself, I'm not doing your research for you"? Well, I made the claim, so I proved it. It's called showing respect to the other posters by backing what I state. Which oddly enough, I'm one of the very few here who does so often.

I wouldn't expect you to do so, but you cannot call me a hypocrite for demanding sources for statements but never give any myself.

(inb4 "that's not what that word means" excuse you like to use)

Because he knowingly does it to prove his point. It's one thing to post a map and say he got it from foxnews.com, where it really came from infowars, but he even admitted that the map came straight from infowars, a website known for it's inaccuracies and conspiracies.

But I was asked to not refer to Vic as "flower head" so I'm not anymore. I guess you missed the memo.

Actually you said

so you have not proved your claim yet. You should really get on top of that...

Did that pat on the back from yourself feel good?

I'd say the whole thing in TX is pretty ridiculous infowars map or not especially since the governor is wasting resources for no appearant reason to appease, what seems to be a minority (hopefuly), of Texas residents. You just seem to get exteremely defensive when ever anyone mentions texas in a way you don't like lol...

Sorry, I meant every single major media outlet. I didn't think you would be so literal, but then again, I forgot who I'm dealing with.

Again, it's not the first time a state defense force was used to oversea a military exercise on that state. But you are so desperate to paint Texas in a bad light that you are willing to buy into most anything, aren't you?

You still haven't hit that quota either! Get on it or the reputation you gave yourself might be tarnished...

Back up your statement again then... Show us all where the governor of a state used state defense forces to oversea a military exercise because a part of the citizenry was paranoid that the federal government was training to take over their state and enforce martial law.

I'm not desperate at all to paint TX in a bad light... that's your reactionary defensive nature taking hold every time someone says somethign about the state that you don't seem to agree with... you seem to be so blinded by your "texan pride" or whatever you might call it that you seem to be able to give a pass on anything.

I can't do that. For one thing, that event hasn't happened yet.

Now, if you can ask if a state governor uses a state defense force to oversee a military exercise, then sure, I can do that. I'll wait for you to ask me first though.

Maybe you should read the second quote I quoted you writing.

But then again, you are just going to say "that's not what I meant" or "it's a rhetorical question/satire" or "you don't know what that word means" or some other deflection excuse you love to use.

Even politicians and people in your own state are ridiculing the governors response to this and yet here you are... Texas pride appearantly means sticking your head in the dirt and making excuses for everything.

In no way does anything I've posted make me desperate to pain Texas in a bad light. Try again?

It seems ilke the only thing you've ever had is to rely on telling people they try to deflect or dodge or call em a hypocrite because there's no substance to anything you actually post.

In mudslinging news:

The Hill tries to tie Jeb Bush to porn industry

...

So, media is trying to tie Bush to the porn industry by any means possible. Kara would be proud at the logical leaps this article makes.
He invested public money in a company that rented porn movies.

Religious people got mad, sent emails.

He admits the company rents out porn movies and states he's doing it because it is profitable stock and he is obligated to do this for tax payers.

Religious people were upset about it when it happened, sent more emails, and started a petition.

Saying he's affiliated with the porn industry, not so much. Saying he invested and helped the state profit from a company that supports the XXXindustry would be accurate.

Better article

This isn't "the media" tying him to the porn industry. This was certain religious groups tying him to the porn industry.

You didn't even bother reading the source, did you?

Title of the article in question from the Hill:

Quote:
Did Jeb Bush invest taxpayer money in porn?

I'll admit, the one group that was vocal about it did tie the stock purchase to pornography, and did so by logical leaps. But you know what? This happened back in and up until 2006. Why is the Hill bringing it up now? Mudslinging, plain and simple.

Yes......they are discussing the emails that he released this year.

It's not mudslinging to discuss something that just came to light. Just because something happened in 2006 doesn't make it not discussion worthy now.

Relevant, eh. I think his response and reasoning to the parties involved was very relevant. I find that to be very interesting as a voter. Unlike the current TX governor he didn't back down to pressure from a small, but vocal minority.

I guess you don't think anything from Clintons past before 2006 is relevant either? Or whatever other "opposite" candidates are presented in the next year.

Looking at that one association they have serious issues with porn. Including allowing that Santorum got rid of his stock quick enough so that he is blameless.

So, probably not.
