On Fake News

Steve - from a moderation standpoint at what point do we politely ask cal to refrain from cluttering up the forum by just dumping a seemingly incessant torrent of google searches?
My personal take?
I would just skip reading them. That should be fairly simple and not take a big chunk out of your day.
Frankly, while Cal is a friend of mine (and don't tell him this) but I don't read 99% of them.

I claim self-defense from stupid stuff that personal attackers say because
they think they can dominate the board that way. And, so everybody knows,
Steve is a friend of mine, and (don't tell him this)... but I don't read most of them myself.

Another day another Trump 'talking point'.
"Any negative polls are fake news"
For real? "Anything negative anyone has to say is all lies, only I will tell you the truth, ignore everything else, just follow me"
This doesn't even remotely raise a little red flag in the back of anyone's mind? That maybe, just maybe, this guy isn't quite who you were expecting him to be?

I think it's hilarious. That's such an asshole thing for him to say, but man, I hate the media enough that I can enjoy it. They're reaping what they've sown. Without the toxic media, Trump never would have stood a chance at the presidency, and he played them like a fiddle.

Anybody know anything about this terrorist attack in Atlanta that Sean Spicer keeps going on about? Because lots of people are saying no such thing happened, and he's said it more than once, more than a slip of the tongue.
I don’t think you have to look any further than the families of the Boston Marathon, in Atlanta, in San Bernardino to ask if we can go further
Too many of these cases that have happened, whether you’re talking about San Bernardino, Atlanta, they’ve happened, Boston
What do we say to the family that loses somebody over a terroristic, to whether it’s Atlanta or San Bernardino or the Boston bomber?
There's nothing on Trump's "you didn't cover these terrorist attacks" list (which includes Orlando, Paris and Berlin among others).
The last terrorist attack in Atlanta was apparently before the Olympics, in 1996. By a radical right winger protesting abortion.

It's in the news already, with Spicer claiming he meant Orlando. Didn't his mama teach him that lieing on top of another lie is a bad idea. Nobody misspeaks three times.Anybody know anything about this terrorist attack in Atlanta that Sean Spicer keeps going on about?

Btw people use words like "clearly" when they know they are bullshitting you and want to make you feel stupid if you challenge the claim.

As you know I watch MSNBC every morning and heard one of the host talking about the supposedly silenced Terror attacks. They had a list of however many were supposedly overlooked and boasted that they had mentioned over half of them.
I think there is probably a conscious decision not to go ballistic on some of those stories and vice versa for other ones.
I haven't looked into the Atlanta one.

"In an email to ABC News Wednesday, Spicer finally addressed his repeated reference to an Atlanta terror attack, writing that he "clearly meant Orlando."

OK great. He misspoke three times. Perhaps the Orlando shooting wasn't covered in sufficient detail that it entered his brain permanently?
-
Didn't Conway misspeak a few times as well?
-
Yep. Multiple members of Trump's administration have issues speaking apparently.

Obama's were really good:
