Hate to disagree. But I don’t think there is another example as egregious as Fox’s intentional lying about a fraud election. If you have examples of blatant and relentless lying from another network, I’d like to hear it. This case stepped way over the line.

There is absolutely a bias regarding selection of stories, more so on cable, but that is nowhere near as egregious as perpetrating lies that put the democracy at risk. They all do it doesn’t fly here.

They WERE in power when perpetrating the election fraud! So I stand by that assertion.

“The laptop?” 😅

That comment makes just about as much sense.

The people I read everyday are conservative writers at Bulwark and The Atlantic. I read Michael Gerson at the Washington Post regularly before his unfortunate, untimely passing. None of them are focused on “the laptop.”

The fact that I, and probably better than 70% of the people in this country, have no idea what you’re talking about when you just write “the laptop” may be more of a reflection on the lenses you’re wearing.

Also, come the end of June, I’ll be a Republican. I’m going from far left Democrat to RINO in one easy step.

Never Trumpers I suppose are all on the blue side. It doesn’t matter if they’re conservative or not. If, pretty much his entire life Democrat, Donald Trump says they’re RINOs, they’re RINOs. It’s not like it’s a cult or anything, tho.

Good for Andy! Wishing him all the best!

Thanks for sharing Andy’s story. I empathize with Andy, as I have shared those struggles most of my adult life. We need to be very vigilant about how law enforcement handles information about crimes. All too often they censor, filter or obscure information. A free and active press is our best hope of fighting that.

I've met Andy Flynn several times with my work teaching others the importance of News Media Literacy. I'm so happy to hear of his progress. He's not only a professional in the newsroom - he's genuinely connected to his community and an advocate for local busninesses. And he even takes a few minutes out of his day to give directions to a lost visitor in the north country ; ) Keep up the great work Andy. Count me as another among those routing for you, personally and professionally!

Thanks for the story on Andy Flynn. I wish him all the success. I got as high as 249 pounds for a time. Well, maybe 250. I can’t imagine what it’s like to weigh twice that because I felt really fat at that weight. It’s sad to hear that he can no longer enjoy eating.

On a lighter note: It’s sad to hear that a lying liar who lies like Bill O’Reilly has now become a RINO. 😢

Bill O'Reilly? They guy credibly accused by his wife, witnessed by his daughter, of being dragged by her throat down the stairs after she caught him having phone sex? I don't give a flying fig what he has to say about anything. Ever.

I’m SO happy for Andy. I wish him great success in his struggles with depression and eating.

Responsible journalism reports facts. If, for example, it took forensic analysis to determine which of several potential firearms was used, it would be irresponsible of a police agency to speculate before the analysis was completed and irresponsible of a journalist to report any speculation they made. Unfortunately, we have developed a belief in instantaneous analysis based on popular Television programs. Patience should support accuracy.
