If you are watching what you believe may be a biased source, and you catch several inaccuracies, I am just suggesting that the source then has little credibility with the remaining items that may or may not be true. It doesn't make those other items any less true. But how do you personally discern which ones are true and which ones aren't?

While I am proposing that you discount the biased source because it has no credibility, you are suggesting that there are still some true items. Those positions aren't necessarily in conflict. We can agree completely. You just need to find a new and trusted source to bring the true items forward, since this source is discredited. If you know those other items are true, then it must be from a trusted source, and that is exactly what we need here, another source.

Put another way, you say it is biased, but some items are true. I say very likely correct. However, we need a source for the true items, and there isn't one in this thread.

Somehow I think this matters less given the time to the election.
I think we can finally, somewhat agree. I originally said that there was truth in the original post, but it was not 100% true. I never said it wasn't biased or that it was the best message for getting the points across. I wasn't the one who posted it. I just said there was truth to it. That is all.

It scares me a little to think that some believe that 100% of it is true, but it also scares me that there are others like BB that think none of it is true. Many of those topics have been discussed before here and proven to be true and some are debatable at best. I don't know how else to say it.
