Yup, to control your thoughts, it is necessary to control which words you are allowed to use.

Should be Illegal squatters

Yes, this was clearly the biggest falsehood we have seen lately.

It's the subtle ones that get you.

Blurtman says

I don't think immigrants here lawfully are fearful.

The first sentence says undocumented for Christ sakes. Most normal people at least the first sentence. Undocumented/illegal whatever its' the same thing. Everyone but you and patrick manages to get it.

You really need a life.

Another lie by omission... going on the list...

The other one was a Snowden article.

Nobody in the Admin said he was gonna be deported.
Nobody in Russia said he was gonna be deported in fact their Foreign Office denied it.
Nobody close to Snowden said there was any talk of this.
Yet NBC ran "Snowden to be deported soon."

T L Lipsovich says

Nobody in the Admin said he was gonna be deported.

A senior US official did. Why do you continue to lie?

Yes, but folks rarely get past the headline. Why don't you Google the purpose of a headline instead of whining?

Let's try this one out:

"Automobile drivers fearful after hundreds arrested in what Feds call a routine "surge"."

"Hundreds of drunk drivers were rounded up this week in a half-dozen states in what advocacy groups and a U.S. congressman from Texas call targeted raids."

Clearly the headline misrepresents what actually happened, which is the intent. That is, the MSM and libbies do not want to differentiate illegal immigrants from legal immigrants.

True.

Sure right, whatever you say. The fake news boogeyman is hiding everywhere. Oh wait, it's only the msm that produces fake news. When breitbart puts up a picture of cleveland cavaliers victory parade and calls it a trump rally that's just alternative facts. Or when a bretibart reporter simply makes up his encounter with protesters (alec 41) that's journalistic integrity. .

You guys are world class fucking hypocrites.

Well since the washington post is the epicenter of fake news then obviously I can't be enlightened by anything published by them.

People I talk to have obviously read more than the headlines since they can discuss the issue in depth. Maybe it's a local new england phenomena. There are huge numbers of newspapers of every size and type still published around here. Someone reads them.

I will admit the 6 miserable months I unfortunately was forced to spend living in NC ( dealing with the getting elderly feeble parents moved and settled thing) a couple years ago I found ignorant and proud of it was the philosophy followed by a large number of people.

70% of facebook users consider it important to post about standing in the grocery store checkout line.

You guys are all the people babbling about fake news.

The fake news histrionics brigade had 8 years to emote about anti Obama fake news from the right wing echo chamber without managing to utter a peep. (Disclaimer for the trumtard binary thinkers, refusing to buy into anti Obama bullshit does not mean I supported Obama in any way shape). Want to show all your posts about that fake news? or for that matter any of your posts about fake news at all prior to trump creating the whole anything I don't like is fake news hysteria.

What a total load of crap the entire trump fake news thing is. Yet the terminally gullible have swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. There isn't any more, or any less, fake news from either side of the political spectrum than there has been going back a long time. What? No one knew that wapo/nyt/npr shaded the news left and fox/breitbart/bloggers/amradio shaded it right? Did you guys just pull into town on the back of a turnip truck somehow?

This is actually not 'fake news', as immigrant communities are full of both legal and illegal immigrants, of which a substantial portion are related.
So if you are a legal immigrant, but have half a dozen sisters/brothers living with you who are illegal, then you would probably also be fearful of legal enforcement of the laws of the United States of America...

The issue here is that USA Today chose to not distinguish between the 'least fearful' of the family, which would be the legal immigrants, rather than the 'most fearful' of the family, which would be the illegal immigrants.
Immigrant communities fearful after hundreds arrested in what feds call routine 'surge'

The most powerful computers that exist today are 'binary thinkers', and can kick your ass at pretty much anything.
For example, even one of the least powerful computers that exist today, such as that in your cellphone, would know the spelling of "trumptard"...

No they are not. What makes them a computer is a the ability to branch and choose many different outcomes depending on the situation. Trumptards only exist in a binary world of everyone who disagrees with them is a commie pinko liberal.

Whatever you say dude. While you are busy obsessing over misplaced commas and headline wording the trump machine is going to eat your lunch. Trump is doing a great job of three card monty on a national scale. You make sure to keep your eye on the queen of hearts. It's your best bet.

And they make those decisions based on "if xxx then xxx" micro decisions.
And when broken down to their simplest form of internal communication, it's all about manipulating 1's and 0's....Binary computation.
So...
Yes they are.

Recall when the MSM intentionally failed to distinguish between Hiilary's pledged delegates versus super delegates? Even Bernie had to repeatedly clear that up.

As a Bernie backer, after he lost, it was quite easy to see the obvious bias of the MSM against Trump and towards Hillary, and it persists today now that Trump is president.

Led by the WaPo.

Frank went through every one of hundreds of opinion pieces published in the Washington Post on Sanders and Hillary Clinton, his rival for the Democratic nomination for president, during primary season, from January to May 2016, and found a stark disparity in coverage. Sanders pieces took a negative tone by a ratio of 5 to 1, whereas opinion pieces on Clinton were about evenly split between favorable and unfavorable.

Newspapers can take whatever editorial stance they wish, but Frank sees in the Washington Post the epitome of Beltway bluestocking insider liberalism — pro-Wall Street, globalist, technocratic and white-collar. The vehemence with which these writers denounced Sanders suggested to Frank a primal loathing: “In Bernie Sanders and his ‘political revolution,’ on the other hand, I believe these same people saw something kind of horrifying: a throwback to the low-rent Democratic politics of many decades ago … to the affluent white-collar class, what he represented was atavism, a regression to a time when demagogues in rumpled jackets pandered to vulgar public prejudices against banks and capitalists and foreign factory owners. Ugh.”
.
Do elite Ivy League-educated pundits such as those who write editorials and op-eds for the Washington Post even care about the striving classes beneath them? About stagnating wages and outsourced jobs? To Frank, Sanders never got a fair hearing from the liberal press about his ideas. “Rather than grapple with his ideas,” he writes, “they simply blew the whistle and ruled them out of bounds.”

No.
