Oh? Must have been that mystery guy using your name and site avatar.
You should probably change your password.

Like I said... you use the same kind of tactics they use. Partial quotes that remove context. Misquotes. Lies. Deception.

Hell, the shit you are trying to pass off as a quote just looks like bad English and makes no sense. Or an incomplete sentence at best. Good job.

@RobGMN are you a better person than me because you are a Democrat and I am not?

You keep accusing me of making up stances that you haven't taken (even though you HAVE taken them), and then you openly make up stances for me, that I never expressed.

ThxOne directly stated his beliefs about these media outlets and their immoral, unethical, or illegal, actions.
I am asking him to show us what these alleged actions are, and explain why he thinks they are.

Why is the right so afraid of having to back up their claims with facts? Why do they consider it out of line to ask someone to back up a claim?

Alright, you seemed to imply that the infotainment industry acts unethically.

I provided a list of u ethical behaviors. I'm not sure why you need explanations of why things like stoking hatred are immoral.

Keep in mind the term "infotainment" came about originally because of the John Stewart show and the clones that followed. It was never intended to be a blanket term for news organizations themselves.

Good point. CNN, FoxNews, etc are more like propaganda & disinformation outlets. Actually, Trump's moniker them is probably the best description - fake news. They pretend to be news, but really are opinion, propaganda, disinformation outlets - fake news.

Showing us that you don't know how to properly quote someone?

That is a misquote.
You should find it offensive to misquote someone, especially when you get offended by a verbatim quote of your own post.

Politics don't make one person better than another.

No, it's exactly the words you used. Are you saying someone else is using your account?

That was actually ThxOne. Literally his words:

Ironic that he cries about "unethical" reporting, then blatantly and obviously misquotes me here, just a few posts back.
Hypocritical behavior.

Is supporting someone who stokes hatred similarly immoral?

You think this: "that mystery guy using your name and site avatar probably your password" - RobGMN
is in some way a verbatim quote of this:
"Oh? Must have been that mystery guy using your name and site avatar.
You should probably change your password." ?

And then you complain that you get called out for posting things that make you seem unintelligent?
In all seriousness, you REALLY should go back to school, or at least TRY to learn and understand some of the things you argue about.

The above makes it seem like you have the intellect of a child.
Not exagerrating.

I was LITERALLY asking YOU if you see a problem with Morality, Ethics, being unbiased. I know you can see the question mark. Are you just ignoring it?

It is literally the same words you used... in the same exact order as well.

Another failed spin attempt.
YOU are the one claiming the leftist media is immoral, unethical, illegal, in what they do, and you want them to do what YOU think they should do.

Yet when I ask you to tell us what they do that is immoral, unethical, or illegal, you come up empty handed.
Do you not know what they do that you accuse them of, or can you not give specifics?

Your failure to comprehend is not me spinning anything but nice try.

Incorrect, sparky. A verbatim quote doesn't allow you to mix up a bunch of words someone said, and simply put them between quotation marks.

You STILL don't get it, despite HOW many posts that have been made here with the rules of quoting?
If you don't undertand with the amount of exposure you've had to it here alone, you simply reinforce that your intellect is limited.
