I would advise anybody who is sure that they’re getting all the news, make sure you listen to 50% of your favorite news channel, and then 50% of the opposition news channel. You will find two sides to every story, and both sides are skewed. Neither one will give you the whole truth. The biggest mistake is only listening to one side.

I agree. Sort of. There are plenty of sources which will give you the whole truth and there are many ways to verify if what you're being told is true or not. I think most people are just either too lazy or too stuck in their ways. Here's a case in point:

Tuesday, our great leader spoke, on camera, with microphones, and kept for all times on hard drives. He said "The wall is being built! No-one talks about it, but it's being built".

This is false, and so very easily verified. My god, even Laura Ingraham called him out on it.

But, even the liberal New York Post reported back in June 2018 that a 14 mile section WAS being built in California.

Does this make the president's statement false? He's right, but he's wrong? I don't get it, unless some just have the need to deny in order to get their name up in the lights.

One of the biggest mistakes is to believe everything you hear. The second biggest mistake might be to believe everything that you want to hear and deny anything that is contrary.

I see a lot of the second one.

Okay, first things first: The New York Post is not a liberal journal. It's owned by Rupert Murdoch of Fox News fame. So there's that.

2nd, this 14 mile long "Wall" you speak of? It's not a wall at all. It's a replacement FENCE which replaced an already existing dilapidated fence.

And before you go all "Fence/Wall - Same Thing" on me, there's this Tweet from Orange Ring-Around-The-Collar Donny:

Jeb Bush just talked about my border proposal to build a "fence."
It's not a fence, Jeb, it's a WALL, and there's a BIG difference!

You obviously don't get how twitter works. You can say one thing...and then say something else years later...or even seconds later...and pretend you never said the first thing.

Come on man, have an opinion, name calling makes you the problem.

I see. But it's okay when raccoon eyes calls people names?

You are so entrenched in your ways you cant see anything except your blinded visions.

Where in the hell did I say it is ok for other people to call people names but not you?

Grow the fuss up, its beneath us as Americans to resort to name calling.

Try moving forward without name calling, the only people that take you serious are other delusional name callers.

The very second someone resorts to kindergarten name calling, their opinon is just that, playground rhetoric and discredited by any reasonable person.

It's like the old drug commercial where the dad says "where did you learn how to do this" and the kid says " I learned it from you , dad!" Lol.

Exactly!

Look, Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United State of America, is the master of the shit show, bar none. This is how he got where he is. He knows how to get peoples panties bunched up better than any other human on the planet, he is a master of controversy. It's what he does for a living.

So what's the best way to stop this kind of behavior? Stop responding to it for Christ sake, its that freaking simple people.

For the love of God the media sitting around and waiting for the next tweet from the White House and actually thinking its news worthy and then needs the next 48 hours of commercial free coverage is insane.

Stop taking a freaking tweet as a matter of national security, its a freakin tweet meant to get you pissed off. Guess what, it freakin works masterfully every single time, every single time.

I can only imagine every time he puts out a tweet he sits there and laughs his ass off for hours because he knows that he is going to get just the reaction he wants... every single time.

Think people think.

Well said! But the idiot with the too-long tie doesn't come to this forum. Maybe you can send your message directly to him in a Tweet? I can't, because I don't have a Twitter account - I'm not a Twat.

BTW, did you see the Senate hearings the other day with the CEO of Google? It was brought up that if you Google (using Google Images) the word "Idiot" the first image that comes up is a picture of Trump! (several pictures, actually - I just tried it) Now why is that.....

A few short posts ago people were saying CE Pro needs to stick to covering CE Pro's and yet here we are again talking about politics in the "custom installers lounge"

The benefits of RC seem to have dissolved as it is often the case that the only way to gain any knowledge here is by wading through piles and piles of bullshit.

I agree! I think most of us concur that the magazine and the file-flinger are both really dumb.

Braha-ha-ha-ha-ah. That's funny.

One a side note, I personally like Julie. She leans a little right of center? See, I like SOME democrats.
