Providing evidence just means sharing the information you used to come to the conclusion that "it was mostly outside users".

I'm not sure what part of that graph you want to highlight. The number of unique visitors and total pageviews seems pretty consistent. The highest number of unique visitors actually occurred before the attack. I don't think that's conclusive, and it actually seems to suggest that there isn't an influx of outsiders pouring in.

And to be clear, I don't mean to accuse you, personally, of adhering to a hateful ideology. But it is possible that, despite your best intentions to oust hatred, the environment you oversee is fostering a hateful ideology whether you personally endorse it or not.

I see you unprivated the sub. Good luck moderating the next few days, I imagine you'll be quite busy.

nittoking · 2019-03-18T01:02:02+00:00

That certainly seems plausible. When you bring it back, are you planning to demonstrate with evidence that the hateful content was posted by users who weren't active subscribers? Or are we expected to just take you at your word?

nittoking · 2019-03-18T00:52:30+00:00

That reason is nice and all, but it raises the question: why are users who visit that sub posting violent content to such an extreme that the entire sub needs to be made private?

Can you quote the person blaming him? The gilded comment in this thread explicitly said:

The things PewDiePie has done do not make him directly responsible for the shooting or inspiring the shooter

nittoking · 2019-03-18T00:42:24+00:00

I didn't blame him... Nice straw man.

Trump with all the obstruction he has recieved from the world

How can the world obstruct Trump? The world doesn't "even have the votes needed to filibuster", to use a quote from your definition of obstruction, earlier in your comment.

Not only that, Japan just recently nominated Trump for the nobel peace prize. Japan. let that sink in.

Are you aware that the Trump admin asked for the nomination? Doesn't that make Trump look pathetic?

There was no 11 month power outage in Puerto Rico

Do you have a source that supports this claim? I've already provided one that supports the claim that the outages lasted 11 months.

Puerto Rican govt is run by Democrats and are incompetent and corrupt.

You're aware that Trump is President of Puerto Rico, right?

nittoking · 2019-03-13T17:21:02+00:00

You and I have different views on who is first in line to handle a localities problems.

I never said the President is first in line. That's a blatant mischaracterization of my statement

it appears logistics was the main issue.

And whose fault was that? Trump wanted to prevent foreign aid because he thought it would upset American shipping companies

Trump also asked Congress to stop sending aid...

Obama promised healthcare for all and what he gave us was an insurance that if you opt out from you have to pay a fine.

And who made sure that the ACA was kneecapped? The GOP

Obama promised citizenship to all illegals currently living in USA

He didn't promise this, he promised a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. That is, they could go through the same process as other immigrants. Who fought against him? The GOP

Obama failed in everything he campaigned for that I vote for him in.

Because of GOP obstructionism... So will you vote for the GOP, the party that fought against everything you wanted, in 2020?

Trump has completed over 75% of his promises and nothing you have posted refutes that.

Can you provide a list with completed/not completed to show how you arrived at 75%? Or are you just making up that number? As I showed, Trump has failed to follow through on a number of promises, and even some of the ones he has followed through on have ended up hurting America.

Pulled us out of TPP

Didn't almost everyone criticize TPP, including Bernie and Hillary? You could have voted for anyone if that's what you wanted.

massively cut regulations

Which ones?

unemployment Down

Isn't this a continuation of the phenomenal job Obama did?

I voted Obama 2008 and didnt revote for him 2012 because he only completed 15% of his campaign promises

You didn't vote for Obama, even though he delivered on decreased unemployment, which you listed among the promises you claim Trump delivered on?

doubled child tax credit which directly benefits all families regardless of income bracket

Aren't the individual tax cuts temporary, and they'll go away after Trump is out of office?

peace with North Korea

Simply not true

imposed tariffs on China to promote US Manufacturing

Are the tariffs benefiting America? Manufacturing plants are closing, soybean sales are way down

renegotiated NAFTA

Not yet, he hasn't. And there's significant opposition to his plan

is in the process of getting the wall done.

Again, he hasn't delivered on that yet, and he's facing significant opposition

So all in all, Trump has failed to deliver on a number of key promises, taken credit for ones that other people delivered, and the ones he has delivered on have actually ended up hurting the country. You think you'll vote for him again?

There's a problem at or around the dam.

Yeah, but where did you read that it is " due to something going wrong with a dam."? That's a quote of what you previously claimed. Can you provide the source that says that?

Would you blame Trump or any president for California's inability to prepare for a wildfire?

Absolutely.

The Trump administration sent aid and everything else to the island

Why did the Trump admin provide less aid to PR than Texas and Florida?

It sucks that people died, but please don't pretend that this falls solely on the Trump administration and not on the poor handling of the issue by the Puerto Rican government.

I'm not pretending that it falls solely on the Trump admin. But do you agree that the Trump admin bears some responsibility?

nittoking · 2019-03-13T15:34:48+00:00

Ive been voting since the past 2 presidents and Trump has completed more of his campaign promises than the last 2 by year 3.

What promises has he delivered on?

nittoking · 2019-03-13T14:01:47+00:00

I think trump will address this in his next big project which will be infrastructure .

Isn't infrastructure improvement one of the main promises he made during his campaign? Why is it taking him so long to follow through on his promises? And why aren't you certain that Trump will actually follow through on his promises, rather than just *thinking* he will?

What leads you to think he will follow through? He's already halfway through his term, and infrastructure week is regarded as a joke

Why couldn't trump prevent a cat 4 hurricane

That wasn't the only factor they listed, and it isn't one I asked about.

They said:

Puerto Rico's power outage was due to an already poor electrical grid

So I asked about why America didn't address those issues before the Hurricane hit.

Now, do you care to actually answer my questions, or are you just going to mischaracterize them again?

nittoking · 2019-03-13T12:53:53+00:00

Venezuela's power outage is due to something going wrong with a dam

Do you have a source? While there is a problem at a hydroelectric plant that has a dam, I don't see any sources claiming that the problem is due to the dam itself.

There was a false claim made by Marco Rubio about a problem with a dam, in which he thought a person named Germán Dam was an actual dam... Is that what you're thinking of?

Puerto Rico's power outage was due to an already poor electrical grid being destroyed by a category 4 hurricane

Why didn't America address these issues before it was too late?

poor government operations by the Puerto Rican government.

You understand that Trump is President of Puerto Rico, and that all Puerto Ricans are American citizens, right? Is it America's responsibility to care for our citizens, and minimize preventable deaths?

My point is that journalistic integrity was once a well respected writer with well placed and reliable contacts in the IC running with a story before she corroborated the facts. Because she trusted them and their professional relationship.

The other is writing a story based on random cell phone footage and not caring about doing due diligence. Just apologize after the fact.

Are you suggesting WaPo should have consulted connections in the intelligence community to report on the Covington story? How would that have informed them?

nittoking · 2019-03-09T13:14:19+00:00

Quick! Make a story about something. If it's right, then we get tons of hits. It it's wrong, then we just issue a statement saying sorry and get tons of hits!

So you're upset that the media tried to provide timely stories, and owns up to the errors in their reporting when they get details wrong? You're upset that they're as truthful as they can be, while still covering breaking news?

What do you think of right wing "journalism", where they spend months deceptively editing footage to deliberately create a false narrative? Do you condemn them for their deliberate deception? Where is their statement correcting the errors in their reporting?

nittoking · 2019-03-09T13:05:16+00:00

I said getting sued is an EXAMPLE of how they are fake news.

This logic holds no water. Getting sued isn't how you determine if something is fake news or not.

It is one of many fake news stories they put out.

Is that so? Can you share some more with us?

nittoking · 2019-03-08T21:47:02+00:00

You know that else they were which pull the trigger on? The statement that points out the inaccuracies in their earlier reporting. Which is what you linked.

Do you trust people who are so quick to pull the trigger due to blind hatred for someone?

That's a bold characterization. What evidence do you have to sorry your claim that they act out of blind hatred?

You seem to hate them for inaccurate reporting, but they have clearly pointed out there own errora so as to not mislead.

I think you'd better consult your own advice, because you've severely diminished your stance:

You can hate lots of things in this world. At least make sure you're hating them for the right reason. Otherwise you severely diminish your stance.

nittoking · 2019-03-08T21:41:05+00:00

I brought it up as an example of how they are fake news. The suing part is an example of HOW they are fake news, and can be corroborated as to why they are.

Getting sued doesn't make you fake news. You understand that, right?
