Oh it’s all good man. This is not near as divisive as the deep politics forum. If anything it caused me to back up my statements with evidence. But yeah my own ego and pride got the best of me.

list the sources you prefer.
The Times, Wapo and AP are all rated high for facts based reporting and the only complaint is in choice of words. You can't stand "slight to moderate liberal bias"? You do know that to people who support Trump, facts have a liberal bias, don't you?
Personally, I like Financial Times more than those three but they have a paywall and so I don't cite them here.
Is there a facts based right-biased source that you recommend? I actually don't think you can find a good facts based right wing site. By that I mean one that endorses everything Trump.
from media bias fact-check:
NYT
LEFT-CENTER BIAS
These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.
and Wapo:
- Overall, we rate the New York Times Left-Center biased based on word and story selection that moderately favors the left, but highly factual and considered one of the most reliable sources for news information due to proper sourcing and well respected journalists/editors. The failed fact checks that occurred were on Op-Ed’s and not straight news reporting.

- Overall, we rate The Washington Post Left-Center biased due to story selection that favors the left and factually High due to the use of proper sources.
And how about CNN and Fox News?

The ad hominem is exactly Trump fashion. And it puts every political conversation into reality TV. Maybe it helps the ratings but it's truly idiotic.

I agree and tried to help pokerjay, told others he was a veteran. until he started speaking like a traitor, I told him to get off social media. He publicly disclosed his conditions and meds on the forum and I counseled him on PM and stayed up overnight watching over him on a bad night. Many are not sure if he is a Russian troll, I don't think he is, just ill and he should not be here in a delusional state.
If he is a veteran with PTSD he needs support and understanding from the community, but if ya been watching the news lately.... You have an opportunity to provide that support and caring here, if you believe he is sincere. Talk to the man on PM about your shared experience, he has PTSD and is bipolar and has another serious mental health condition. I don't know how he got in the service, he should have been screened out, but sometimes Uncle Sam ain't too picky. He's condition produces disordered thinking as well and is worse at sometimes than at others, he has sleep issues and his reality is shattering. He is suffering greatly and the last thing he needs is the stress this place produces in most people.
He is an example of the damage Russians and trolls cause and why I fight them here
I can help with advice, counsel and of course friendship. DYI

People get too programmed to throw in a rude comment and everything blows up.
It happens a lot when people hit certain topics that we are getting spammed with that are designed to set people against each other in very specific categories.
Like Kavanaugh.
It is so full of social land-mines that talking about it eventually leads to a blow up by someone one way or the other.

Gotcha, and thank you also (for a different type of service). Around here you become a communist troll for little logical reason other than disagreeing with some gas lighters. Of course they're the mentally healthy ones, they're not angry (you are, lol) etcetera etcetera etcetera. Anyway, I was just giving someone the benefit of the doubt without spending a lot of time doing research on them. Some of these people... let's just say, research not required.

So you spend most of your time in the politics section begging to be banned from the politics section in order to improve your grow?
Yeah, that sounds likely.

I added to my post from before. Pokerjay's treatment is the result of his behavior and that is erratic, he should not be here. He is an example of the damage Russians and trolls do by destroying trust and openness between people, people are afraid in a paranoid social landscape, it hinders help and free expression. That's why I and others fight them. We are all not the same, one side is clearly evil in this case, and the good people are united against them.

And I'm not a troll but that doesn't keep the weird accusations from happening. And it is weird, the suspicions that lead to jumping to conclusions and other insane Behavior. Based totally on what you've told me I agree that poker Jay needs help, but he is by far not the only one here who does. I'm not even sure that he is the one in most dire need of help from what I've seen on this forum. I'm sorry I joined this forum at all, and I'm totally fine with being banned. Honestly I don't think I've ever seen so many crazy bastards in one place.

And I never thought I'd say it but I'm pretty much ashamed to be a pothead today or a pot grower.

Good people are driven into fear by events and develop healthy delusions, as well as, pathological ones. Caution is the best defense sometimes, these people usually put their country first, and are fighting for their country right here, just don't get between them and their duty to others, just like me.
Ya might call it paranoia, but that would be incorrect, they are for the most part dealing with the reality of the situation. Black American citizens are not paranoid, most white people in America hate and fear them, this is a fact, there is data to support it, you're lucky they are such good people at heart, so are they. These white people betrayed and nearly destroyed their country and their children"s futures, along with everybody else's they took along for the ride. They put their fear and hate before their country, they are cowards and evil in my mind, as well as the minds of good people. America barely survived and Trump had neither a brain or a plan, Christ help us all, if the next one has both.
I know I'm a buzz kill.Edit out the fellow I responded to here. He/she is a good person, who would understand
