Political science experiment: Can politics be discussed without resorting to personal attacks?

We should bring back public execution and put it on pay per view. All proceeds go to victims families. Only for mass murderers. Charles Manson, James Holmes, McVeigh.

Think about what other societies allow public execution. Do you want to be on that list?

Countries that don't respect human rights

Usually, the lists of those we keep are significant in that I think it exposes our government's true intentions. In this case, or more specifically, in the case of the Trump administration selling $106 billion in weapons to Saudi Arabia, running away from the Paris climate agreement, or being the only modern nation on Earth to deny its citizens healthcare coverage as a basic human right, those lists tell the exact tale of this administration and those that support it.

What 'fake news' story reported by FOX doesn't have at least one fact contained in it? Could you cite an example for clarification?

RABBITHOLE
Fox’s Fake News Mess
The fake Seth Rich story—set in motion by Fox News regulars—resurfaced from a local Fox News affiliate, and then was promoted nationally by Fox News hosts and contributors.

Fox News retracts fake news — what took so long?
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/fox-news-retracts-fake-news-article-1.3189917

There is a lot of stuff out there regarding many fake news stories that Fox carried. A small effort to find it. Other media outlets, not so much.

Do you believe FOX is the only politically biased mainstream news outlet?

Do I think other media outlets are biased? I think that's the wrong question. Of most importance is whether or not the outlet and reporter are trustworthy. If the commentator sticks to honest reporting methods including fact checking, quote people they talked to and do own research instead of cite from other articles. If a site or outlet can stick to facts and conventional reporting standards then I'll read their articles and decide for myself. There are some trustworthy outlets that are clearly biased to classic conservative values and I read them. I read from left leaning sites too.

On balance, I can't say overall that the set of trustworthy media outlets are tilted one way or the other. A lot depends on the owner and the person doing the writing. I can't say they are not either.

Fox doesn't require itself to stick to facts. They even won a lawsuit if Florida where they defended themselves by claiming first amendment right to say known false stories. Some of the crap videos you and tty post is in the same untrustworthy category.

It is more important to you if a reporter/news organization is trustworthy rather than if they're objective?

Can you cite a conservative report/article that you believe meets your standards of trust so I can see an example of what you mean?`

What is your opinion of the balance of objective reporting and unobjective reporting within mainstream media in America? Do you think it's mostly fair and balanced absent FOX, ironically?

Fox doesn't require itself to stick to facts.

No mainstream media outlet is required to stick to objective facts, that's the problem

Some of the crap videos you and tty post is in the same untrustworthy category.

Can you cite an example of a video I've posted that is untrustworthy by your standard and expand on why you believe that?

The elite want us fighting each other with trivial bullshit like left, right. They use the news to steer our emotions and actions tord there end game. They incite racism, violence, confusion. They make us afraid and scared untill they dont have to take away our rights, we'll give them away freely. Well exchange slavery for "peace". 1984 wasnt a work of fiction it was a proficy. If we dont do something in the next 5 to 10 years it will be to late. Nothing short of a complete rebute. Throw out every elected official, return to the popular vote, remove the Federal reserve and start printing our own money again. I see a 2nd civil war at the least.

The BBC is sounding rather similar to your concerns;

What can we take away from this? Why do you think this has worked so well so far?
