I'm not familiar with SourceFed, so I don't know where it falls on the American media spectrum or how well-known it is... They appear to be just webby clicky stuff mostly... but you may start seeing this on Facebook today. It was posted yesterday. https://www.facebook.com/SourceFedNews/videos/1199514293432055/ It's a video wherein SourceFed alleges Google manipulated search suggestion results to favour Hillary Clinton and bury autocompletes about words like "criminal allegations" or "indictment." At least, at the end, they say they can't responsibly say the Clinton campaign had anything to do with it, because they have no proof of that, but it's an interesting bit of Internet that might become visible in the next day or so. I saw it shared by an 80s music radio station (in Canada), so I dunno.

McAlister posted:In a very real sense she is his sugar momma - not the other way around. She financed his early political career and nurtured his ambitions to the detriment of her own. Things like that are why the Democratic Primary this year has been rather heartening - in that both major contestants are decent people, with their flaws, but people who care about people. Compare and contrast to the other side where cheeto hitler outlasted the zodiac killer, human embodiment of the colour grey, a mad doctor, the stupidest bush and many others... it's a good time to hate the Republican Party. Mind you, it's always a good time, at least since the later 20th century

McAlister posted:To challenge gender norms even further Hillary outperformed Bill in college and they were both lower income students there on merit scholarships. When they married many people were shocked that she was going to follow him back to the rural south when she, - not he - had such a bright future and so many job offers on the coast. She, after all, had help found a legal charity, spent a summer researching then written a report on the treatment of migrant labor that was read on the Senate labor committee, and had been hand picked as a junior member of the team that was going to prosecute Nixon. Not to mention had written provocative papers about the legal status of children as individuals rather than as parental property. He, otoh, was nice enough for a hick. Had a certain charisma sure. But he wasn't making waves like she was. Except her time spent promoting Bill has now payed off as people like my parents that were happy during the first Clinton years would like an encore with Hillary, and when she's the smarter one of the family, well. She sadly doesn't have the exact charm of her husband, but she can't have it all or else it'd be too easy. Doesn't quite defend the poo poo she pulled when she was campaigning against Obama but that's small potatoes to the poo poo the right's been openly salivating over this time.

As I've said before, the most confusing thing about BENGHAZI! is that unlike every moronic conspiracy theory in history, the victim in this case was Obama and Hillary's own subordinate! He was one of their own fellow Democrat. If he was a Republican like Arne Duncan or the guy who runs the FBI, at least this would have an iota of coherence. Furthermore, the fact that they've been complaining endlessly that we should have sent as many soldiers (aka ARE TROOPS  ) as it took to save Stevens is actually pretty shocking if you think about it. Because we have witnessed the first instance in the history of the Republic, where conservatives have found the one Democrat in existence that they seemed to be more than willing to risk the lives of our brave patriots in order to save. Imagine that. But hey, we should probably do what they say and give every single person in Obama's administration their own personal mini army to protect them at all times. edit: I'm trying to rack my brain trying to think of what the left-wing equivalent of this scandal is, and I'm coming up short.

Looks like Google autocomplete generally doesn't use words like "indictment" "murder", "rape" or things related to possible criminal charges. Nothing to do with Hillary, they exclude those words for all sorts of names.

Before posting I control-F'd the his wiki page and saw "pardon" light up. If I had actually read the words I would not look dumb right now. quote:On December 10, 2007, Libby's lawyers announced that he would drop his appeal against his conviction in the case, leaving intact his remaining sentence and fine and leaving on his record his felony conviction, on condition of a full presidential pardon.[23] The next day, December 11, 2007, Bush issued 29 pardons but did not include Libby among them.[24][25] As a consequence of his conviction in United States v. Libby, Libby's license to practice law was suspended by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in December 2007.[26] On April 3, 2007, the District of Columbia Bar suspended his license to practice law in Washington, D.C., and recommended his disbarment pending his appeal of his conviction.[27][28] On March 20, 2008, after he dropped his appeal, he was disbarred by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, in Washington, D.C., at least until 2012.[29]

So wait, Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a brick of gold in his hand with a seven figure bank account in his name but that's being a self-made man. Since he's rich that means god likes everything he does and we need to accept the whimsies of our obvious superior since more money = better than. That Hillary bitch though? Have you SEEN how much money she gets paid just for a speaking engagement? loving shameful how dare she make so much money it obviously means she's a bought and paid for political shill. Interesting set of standards there. Yup, two standards. Different. There might be a phrase there I'm looking for now what could it be?

For some reason people think that if you have witness testimony, photographs, or official autopsy reports as the basis of one side of an argument, and the other person says "the government can't be trusted" then you can just throw all that away and claim whatever you want to have happened and both should be given equal consideration.

I've definitely heard people in here argue that NPR is basically a neoliberal propaganda machine. Don't know how many argued it but I've heard it. Not knowing too much about the specifics of NPR, I do find it interesting how I've been constantly hearing people on both sides of the spectrum claim that "the media" is in the tank for their opponent. It's liberal media on the right, corporate media on the left, and so on. And I have no doubt the media is biased (although I suspect more in their own self-interest than anything else), but the degree to which that accusation is wielded makes me suspect it's a defense against the discomfort of people possibly disliking or not supporting your candidate for rational reasons--clearly, people being manipulated by the media is the best and only explanation necessary!

I was really in the bag for Bernie, as well as a few of my friends who I reckon were marginally conservative. Since the primary is over* now, it's nothing but lamentations and gnashing of teeth from them, swearing to never vote for Hillary. Look, I'm bummed too, but until such a time comes (never) where the US goes to some sort of fractional/parliamentary representation system, we are beholden to the 2-party system and, while it sucks, the lesser of two evils is the pragmatic choice. Still, there are post after post of hardline anti-Hillary stuff, drat near straight off of RWM pages from these guys and it's depressing. Indiana has been a bit of a swing state lately, and though it's not quite a 'decider' state like Ohio tends to be, if the pre-election polls are pointing at a dead heat between Trump and Hillary, you bet your rear end I'm voting for her.

I post a photo of my bf. Dumbass sees it, posts "Hey fagger whats up with the man bun?" (It wasn't even a man bun) I react. Dumbass posts "wow brother, your girl's way overreacting." I guess "fagger" was something they used to say a lot when they were 13 and I was supposed to know this. Lol who am I kidding I'm just supposed to not exist. They also can't imagine that their buddy grew up, and somehow in the 5 years I've known him I'm the reason he's been voting straight D for decades. Anyway, not entirely unrelated, I am really moved by this stupid Brock thing. I have a friend who I can't even locate anymore because her rape case ruined her life and she had to move somewhere else. It was even less specious of circumstances. She was working with a client who purposefully paid off the company to be alone in the building with her after hours. He beat her brutally to the point she was sure she was going to die. And yet she was still accused of enjoying it. The trial was horribly long and invasive to her life, but she kept going because the DA so badly wanted to nail this guy because he had done it many times before. He had even murdered his own friend when he was a minor. Really bad man. Also a sufferer of affluenza. But here's where I'm mad at the moment. People are treating this like the next gorilla/lion shooting flavor of the month outrage. I've seen comments posted at the end of the victims beautiful speech saying basically "How about we report on ISIS or real news?" This is real news. But because it's viewed as a woman trouble (men never get raped, no!) it's not treated like the important systemic issue that it is. drat, this month has made me really bitter about men. I know not every guy is so inconsiderate, I live with one. But drat, the rest are so loud.
