And then comes false balance, false equivalence and argument to moderation from you - "you have your links, we have ours". That line of thinking is what got us in this putrid mess. One word, morons: accountability. When Obama was a presidential candidate, your sources said the end of civilization was coming. It didn't. But hey, you said "it was coming", so then with Hillary it was coming, now with Biden it is coming. You're the never-wrongers, accountable to no one - keep bringing on the lies, some of them gotta stick, and if the events are so big that they overwhelm them, nope, we never said 'em.
The media I usually quote (the "fake news" one, the "lamestream" one, so you dotards can understand what I'm referring to - even if I almost always include an extra link to all sources listed on Google News at a given moment) IS accountable. And it just has to be particularly accountable in this era, because since they're under attack by your Dear Leader 57 times a day, any factual mistake will result in handing your wannabe dictator a weapon of mass destruction against them. If they fuck up they have to own it, and they do by printing/posting a correction, even if it's about something basically superfluous to the story.
Having explained this (which is elemental stuff, really, I'm not discovering anything), back to your post above: you'll never "be happy to discuss", much less admit to be "proven actually false". You quote the BIBLE in what should be a serious back-and-forth for fuck's sakes. Talking to a Taliban asshole would be just as rewarding.
