So this story will never break, will it? it probably isnt true.
Actually, if you read the original article…it states it isn’t to be posted till probably Monday - Why not wait?

I think, it has a good chance of breaking late tonight 🤷
 
I don’t read those publications. I don’t read openly biased material- Right or Left- or at least give it much credence- as I am not an ideologue.

I find opinions with no perspective and ability to see both sides worthless.

Huggers. 🙂
What about the article do you dispute?

From the Obama Campaign own mouth:
The campaign said that just over 1.8 million people made donations to the campaign last month. According to the campaign, over 500k of these were brand-new donors, having neither given in 2008 nor 2012. 98% of contributions were under the reporting threshold of $250. Of these, the average contribution was $53
Do you dispute that it figures out to:
Only Around 2% of Donations Reportable
YOU SAY:
" I am not an ideologue"

Yet, you attack the messenger NOT the message. – Seems pretty ideologue driven, to me?🤷

Breitbart is garbage. Just fodder for the FAR Right and the Conspiracy theorist, with some racism sprinkled on top.

I prefer to get my news from reputable sources.

I don’t go to Intelligent Design sites to learn about science. I don’t go to NARTH to learn about Homosexuality. I don’t go to PETA to learn about animal welfare. I don’t go to Lifesitenews to learn about the Pro-Life movement.
 
You feel that breitbart is a worthy source? Most folks believe it is highly fringe and conspiratorial yellow “journalism”.

You’ve got to be one the only kids in the US who reviews such propaganda. Do you have other young friends who check out breitbart in their spare time?
What is the source of your claim “most folks believe” Breitbart is highly fringe? Ringil people also believe the world is flat and that Elvis is still alive. That you may not accept a story is simply your opinion. As to a credible source, I haven’t heard of Breitbart having the same sort of plagarism charges as say…the New York Times. Jayson Blair anyone?

Certainly Breitbart’s stories have a slant but then so does much of the MSM. Tell me the doctored videos with respect to the Trayvon Martin stories are an example of unbiased journalism? How about the doctored tapes of Romney at the restaurant that seemed to be highly amusing to the alphabet soup channel that ran them…except they weren’t true either.

As Kimmielittle said, you don’t have any information about the story so you try to demean the source.

If it’s a valid story then certainly a reputable source would cover it. I don’t believe in conspiracies, though I know to some, life is made more interesting by imagining them.

And breitbart’s “slant” is “wacky nut-jobism”

WND, hotair, examiner, foxnews.

foxnews is about the most reputable one and though heavily biased, doesn’t have that complete fringe element.

All biased to the Right.
We do not have to rely on the mainstream media. Blogs release the stories the mainstream media will not

I’ll give you that, blogs release ALL KINDS of interesting stories, from government cover-ups to UFO sightings.

Heck breitbart is talking about the grand scheme of the black panthers to get Obama elected 4 years later- recycling the same picture of scary black people at one voting station, for the millionth time

People might want to give more credence to sources with some level of accountability and some level of established media presence.

Sooooo you can’t / won’t dispute what was reported?

You should note the figures came from Obama’s OWN campaign.

I can not see any story on the main page about the Black panthers

You would have an argument if the stories on breitbart were not true but if the story is true then what is your issue? I doubt you have an issue with leftist blogs

We can trust the established media presence of NBC? They edited tapes of Martin Zimmerman, Mitt Romney twice, Jerry Sundusky, Rick Perry and the Tea Party

Mainstream media does not equal true

Again you are world’s greatest expert on your own opinion. You have no actual facts to back this up. What Breitbart stories were made up conspiracy theories? Why don’t you wait to see when/if the story is published before claiming you have some inside knowledge? Do you think you have any credibility with no facts? We all have opinions ringil. Doesn’t mean jack diddly without facts

I don’t read leftist blogs. I couldn’t even name one. I only see Rightist blogs due to my time on CAF.

As I said. I dislike ideologues.

IMO FACTS have never been an issue or important to some posters 🙂

Well here is the fruit of one of the most famous and glaring examples of breitbart’s “journalism”.

I have been admonished for not being charitable…trying hard to overcome my reputation :). What I really think about the Chicago Machine and that particular group of Democrats is not printable…

As Hugh Hewitt says, if it’s not close they can’t cheat! So here’s to an overwhelming victory to the Romney/Ryan ticket!

Lisa
The Chicago Machine’s corrupt way of functioning is just their way of “doing business”. Take away the pay offs, bribes, blackmailing, (and worse) and they truly would not know how to function. To them, it’s “business as usual”…very commonplace. Their goal is not getting caught. Sorry if that’s not very charitable, but hey, let’s be honest about the situation. I live near Chicago, and have all of my life. Don’t misunderstand, I am not by any means proud of it but it’s just the way it is…and now we get to brag about the fact that Chicago is the number one crime city in the Country. :rolleyes:😦
