In your so-called 'mainstream' press (except FOX - and no, I'm not saying FOX is the only 'real' news organization, I'm saying it IS just as much as the others) not really. Not when it comes to Trump, the hoax that is "Russiagate" or most of the 'sins' the "Progressives" claim he commits. Trump Derangement syndrome seems to grip most Reporters and columnists at The Washington Post and New York Times. They can't report on the man without giving the most negative spin possible to his actions or motives. They don't fact check very well (Do you want literally dozens of examples?) because either they are too lazy, stupid, or it wouldn't suit their ideological purposes in order to do so. Better to try to get The Resistance riled up by pretending it is a known fact that not only did Trump say "Shithole countries" (which, many of them are so I don't give a fuck either way) but also a known fact that he was only talking about 'colored' countries so of course he is a racist.Also, there is more than one point of view expressed in the US as opposed to Russia where criticism of Putin has been stifled.
I already said a bunch of stuff about religions NOT getting to do whatever they want, and stuff about being forced into newer Obamacare laws that took away some of their rights they had before it added restrictions that forced them to go against their beliefs. Also, it's not a religious-only matter. Some religious people are fine with it, and others not. Same with non-religious people - some are for having to pay for other peoples' abortions and some are against it. It just happens that it's mostly Christians who are against it and consider it murder instead of a justified killing. No one should be forced into participating on either side of the matter.

No worry about it being edited. He records a second copy while they are doing the show - one that includes video, not just the audio like the radio version, so any cuts would be noticeable. He then posts them to his much suppressed youtube channel, PopulistTV. He'd have probably mentioned it if the radio version was doing editing though.free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 5:04 pmRussian news outlets 10 years ago were different than they are now. RT, at least the english language version did have some reasonable journalists that had been doing somewhat OK work. Around that time, the Russian government began taking over news outlets. For the first while the government controllers were somewhat moderate at RT but they gradually ramped up the editing and eventually started to dictate what should be written, at least according to journalists that worked there. That meshes with what I recall having followed them for a while.Why are you so against the Russians? If Lee worked for a British radio station or a Mexican one or a Hungarian one, would you also be suspicious?
If I run across Stranahan's interview withNatashaNatalia's interview I will give it a look. I suspect he will not ask any tough questions or ask follow ups if she tries to snow him. Or at least if he does, I doubt they will make it past the editor. Apparently he just started with Sputnik so it may be interesting to see how long he lasts. It could be he will do what other non-russian journalists have done at those outlets and quit because they didn't just want to parrot propaganda.
fwiw, and iirc, Stranahan got the Twin Falls Idaho / Chobani story not just wrong, but disgustingly so.The main reason I'm such a big fan of his work, is that he's determined to get to the truth of things, and he'll dig for the actual truth no matter what side is true. If you knew his other videos at all, you'd know that he hates when people avoid tough questions and mentions that frequently. He's also extremely well researched on the complex RussiaGate situation and quite knowledgable on it at this point. He asks people over and over to not just believe him about the things he says, but to go check things out for themselves. I watch the show because it's his show, not because of which media company hires him to do it. Lee says that if they ever start telling him what can or can't say, he'll leave.

As an 18 year old she may not have had her dick cut off, but most folks think that's pretty insane anyway. But if she's on estrogen and/or dressing fem and/or seeing therapists on a regular basis, then I think she's shown that this isn't some Nerds and Porky's scheme to see the boobies.
I'm pretty sure that if any shenanigans go on, her, ahem, transgressions (puts on sunglasses) will be promptly reported.
That said, if other girls find her presence to be a problem, I think they should be reasonably accommodated too, presumably by putting up allowing them different lockers and a privacy screen for them to change behind.

And large conglomerates own something like 99 percent plus of all decent size news organs in the US. Most of these conglomerates are led by people (and often staffed by reporters) who have ideological (for the reporters and editors) and (for the ownership class) often financial griefs against Trump's new economic policies.
After a year of lies and exaggerations when it concerns the President perhaps you should tell me why I should trust the New York Times, CNN, or The Washington Post on anything when it comes to this Administration or anything at all that is important politically? As for their other reporting (such as science) I take that on a case by case basis.

Selling batteries and plugs just pays the rates. As long as the electrical business is breaking even it's all good.
