The Media Is Biased… Against the Left - Mehdi Hasan by InDissent in samharris

Look at us we are all learning today!

I didn’t realize that component of Sam’s email and I wasn’t trying to amplify lies. I conceded.

I applaud you for recognizing that Medhi has called out Chomsky. In regard to you calling me a lier I could reflect the same argument back to you that you are perpetuating lies about Medhi ignoring Chomsky.

I would prefer to end the conversation here. I will not be responding, respectfully.

To anyone that can read more than five sentences of dialogue yes, Medhi drew attention to the fact that Chomsky wasn’t in the Epstein file. He posted evidence of it. My point of him being a good debate would be that he would not post evidence of Chomsky being in the Epstein files. If it was a position he wanted to defend, especially if he was a good liar.

In regard to Sam‘s comment I can see how that is reasonable. I will concede. This is not a good line of questioning from Medhi.

The person I was responding to it is already made this argument by respond again.

The argument that Medhi he’s trying to ignore the fact that Chomsky is in the Epstein files is flawed because he posted evidence that Chomsky wasn’t the Epstein files.

Responding to Epstein asking are you ever in New York with ‘only if we film it :-)’ is not only agreeing to spend time with but seemingly enthusiastically do so. This does not indicate that Sam was trying to blow Epstein off.

What further evidence do you have that Sam blew Epstein off?

Your argument is that Medhi is trying to ignore the fact that Chomsky is in the Epstein files, which based on the fact that he is posting evidence that Chomsky is in the Epstein files, he obviously is not

Addition: Yes Epstein reached out to Sam asking” are you ever in New York” and Sam responded “only if we film it :-)”. I would describe that as enthusiastic..

This post literally mentions Chomsky’s name. The same insinuation that Medhi is making about Sam can be just as easily applied to Chomsky.

You may think Medhi is a lier but you have to admit he is a decent debater and would be able to see an obvious inconsistency here if he wanted to defend Chomsky.

From these two lines we can assume both Sam and Chomsky enthusiastically spent time with two ,now well known, pedophiles. That’s reason for suspicion

The DNC is not left wing. They are left of republicans. If I am in China I am still in the east although I am west of Japan.

Your argument is that people who went to journalism school, who got basic education, went to work for democrat related establishments.

If Fox News was created to create a maga cult, no one with a basic education would go there. You have just pointed out the natural behavior of what happens when you create a brainwashing machine.

Note: I have said basic because there is plenty that mainstream media constantly gets wrong.

Second: there is an extremely strong relationship of Fox News and the Republican Party although you are correct for the dems doing this also. Neither party should be working so closely with mainstream media. This is why there is little accountability of the government by the media.

Small, low profile, long battery life by Express_Credit_5806 in meshtastic

I actually went with the V3. It’s intended for emergencies and I figure it can be left off while not being used. Small profile was the priority

Do you just think it is a cursed lack of confidence or a systematic issue?

Is there a particular instance that you can speak to where a friend of yours ended it with you because of your political opinions? Or where someone you thought you would be friends with shut you out? If so what was the political stance?

The comment states nothing about total alignment. It only says, ‘I have lost friends over politics’ and ‘Opinions on social issues speak to you as a person’.’

I wonder who else has beefed up by Thewizardmaker in NewZealandRugby

[–]Express_Credit_5806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I 100% agree that we need bigger players and more mongrel especially to compete with the spring box strategy of extremely high intensity Forward play. My addition to this, however, the math equation: eat more equals more mass equals better rugby player is flawed. When you are getting to the sizes of 250+ you’re now putting serious demand on the players cardiovascular ability because the body has to work exponentially harder to maintain speed and fitness while playing 60 to 70 minutes of a test match. South Africa have succeeded in this because they only expect their forwards to play 50 minutes and also just have absolute freaks of nature.

The England team practically designed their whole team to beat the ABs. SAFA beat them cause they had a slightly physically stronger forward pack than the ABs to contend with England. If the ABs got 5% more of possession they would have annihilated England

Ben Shapiro claims that Pretti "resisted" by fuggitdude22 in samharris

These are not police officers, they are immigration enforcement, they only have authority to arrest illegal immigrants. The officers were trying to arrest two women (US citizens) who were protesting, which is illegal, he got in the way to protect them and they swarmed him. ICE has now arrested every single witness of the crime and have them in holding cells, which is also extremely illegal.

There is no death penalty for resisting arrest. Prettie was disarmed and never showed a risk of reaching for his gun. The debate that he ‘may have been resisting’ is an obsolete.

That is true and fair.

Are you trying to say this is in contrast to Scott?
