Is it the hidden treasure your all worked up about?

 

[Former Member]

Wow, I'm genuinely surprised.

 

[TroutBum]

All this does is make people who like Obama, that were unlikely to get off their ***, go vote. I like it.

Is that what you came to this thread to say?

It's you that gets all worked up about my hidden treasure, as I recall.

Well, they better go jump through some hoops for an I.D., first.

Never thought of that. Damn.

Can this be real? Newsweek is as liberal as they come. They have a long history of spinning the narrative to benefit the Dems. I'm stunned that they would publish an article that questioned Barrack's presidency at all, but especially so close to the election. If this is not some sort of a hoax I'll bet this issue sets an all-time sales record.

I was wondering if this was a satirical article. Many on the left don't think Obama has done enough.

Did you take it to the bathroom, lock the door, and ...?

 

[Revolution 9]

Damn the liberal media is at it again!

So the reviews and fact-checks are coming in for this article. It doesn't look good.

Details?

Is this unusual? I don't follow mainstream political publications.

Yes. If it's a democrat and it's not FoxNews.

 

[sirkickyass]

Details?

Here's an example: https://www.theatlantic.com/busines...usons-very-bad-argument-against-obama/261306/

The fact check leads with "Niall Ferguson doesn't like President Obama, and doesn't think you should either.

That's perfectly fine. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to disapprove of the president. Here's the big one: 8.3 percent. That's the current unemployment rate, fully three years on from the official end of the Great Recession."

Then goes into some fact checking of the article, which is pretty brutal.

Ezra Klein also covers a particularly deceptive portion of the article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...-worst-case-against-the-obama-administration/

 

[Dr. Jones]

Good stuff, Tink. Thanks.

Is this Democrat thing legit? I hear it all the time, but it's hard to take seriously. While journalists tend to be more socially progressive, at least historically, the mainstream media are in the entertainment business with very little connection to journalism, and with deep concern about the maximizing profits. Why would they side with one side or the other?
