Bottom post of the previous page:

Holding it to the same standards should a news source publish a investigation when it is not over? The Clintons were never convicted of anything and haven't been charged with anything. My argument is you can't have your cake and eat it too. Either the standard for news has to be "completely solid sources 100% true and over" or not. The major problem with the prior view that there is a race to be first and fastest.

Cik wrote: appeal to status quo and ultimately meaningless. the fact that they reported the existence of a document isn't what i (at least) complain about. the fact that they reported it's contents without any proof and entirely out of context (which they have been doing literally the whole fucking election) is the problem.
A president, or anyone who is in the highest office of the land should be under constant scrutiny. I don't agree with it but people investigated Obama's birth certificate continuously years ago. Should it be followed up? Certainly. Should it be reported? Sure.

Later the report might turn out false but it should be followed up.

There's a word for spreading baseless damaging rumors: defamation. If I were on a jury and the prosecution was a guy damaged by the defendant "reporting" on a baseless rumor and spreading it around, I'd find the defendant guilty in a heartbeat regardless of who they or the prosecution were. This is a pretty simple law, and CNN is arguably one of the most powerful media corporations in the world, so what's their excuse?

Same excuse as fox news and the prior example I gave you. Its a third party report.

As I told you earlier you can't have your cake and eat it too. Obama was given the same treatment.

Looking into Obama's birth certificate: Fine
Reporting that Obama wasn't native born: Not Fine

It's not that it's only wrong when it happens to Trump, it's wrong when it happens to anyone. Don't report on negative things unless you have reasonable doubt to believe that they actually happened, or better yet evidence that they happened.

the problem with "fake news" is that it is now a meaningless meme that encompasses about a dozen different kinds of media. if you cannot tell the difference between a report by an ex-intelligence agent that might be false, "Freedom Eagle News: 10 Reasons Why Obama Is Secretly A Muslim Terrorist, CLICK HERE FOR MORE" and "The Onion: Black Man Gets Nation's Worst Job" then you might literally have the critical thinking skills of an elementary schooler

edit: doublepost, but CNN reporting on the existence of a document purported to be intelligence briefings is not the same thing as endorsing said documents, and is absolutely newsworthy because donald trump is a public figure, probably the most public figure in america right now. allegations about a public figure are newsworthy by default, and us libel law precedent backs this up.

Its done all the time. Every news site wants to publish the news before everyone else. They report things as soon as they come in. Creditably often takes a back seat to sensational reporting, quick information and new news.

The whole "fake news" thing is pretty depressing. It all started with someone denouncing the real issue of "fake news" sites, as in, sites that looked and presented themselves like legit news sites but reported news that were actually fake (like "BREAKING NEWS: Hillary arrested" or "Another million illegal refugees land in Sweden"), sometimes these fake articles ended up on legit (even though biased) news outlets like Breitbart or digg, so leftists started labelling any biased news site as "fake news". This in turn caused alt-righters themselves to call CNN and all the biased mainstream media "fake news" in retaliation. So "fake news" now only means "news I don't personally like".

You can see the end result for yourself, every time someone posts an article about measures being implemented to tackle "fake news" sites (as in, the original problem), all comments are like "Well what about CNN uh? That's fake news as well! Who gets to decide which news are fake? This is the death of the first amendment etc. etc. etc."

Here's my recommendation for carrying out your politics (and how I do mine). You will not have time to examine every issue in detail, consider the facts, and come to an unbiased conclusion. There simply aren't enough hours in the day if you aren't either a NEET or a full-time politician/political journalist/lobbyist etc.

Instead of narrowly glancing at most of the issues and just confirming your own biases, pick a slate of 3 or more issues that you care about but could be persuaded to change sides on. Examine the facts and reach a conclusion, if you are doing this correctly it should take a couple days per issue.

Vote with the party that seems to mostly agree with your conclusions and pray they're equally reasonable on other issues (even though they probably aren't.)

tfw you realize that the whole reason the west is so corrupt is that the capitalist class has conspired to keep working hours permanently high so as to rob the populace of any time with which they could use to become acquainted and informed about the political process thus allowing the same capitalist class to remain ever-in-control of most of the systems in government due to the enormous influence of lobbyists and the increasing impossibility of working-class resistance against a malevolent political/capitalist class alliance

tfw you realize that SJW identity politics are probably a psyop geared towards ensuring that the traditional leftist opposition to capitalistic tyranny falls to infighting and fails to mount effective resistance to the ever-higher concentration of wealth into the hands of the capitalist class, which now break free of the chains which once constrained them to at least pay people to staff, crew, maintain, and improve their factories, since the onset of the 'machine age' allows capitalists paying capitalists paying capitalists paying capitalists and does not ensure that the system will fail considering the improving capability of a wide range of automation soft/hard/firmware

Like Sweden did, and is continuing to do.

Why do you guys always feel someone has to prove something to you? All the material is out there you must put it together yourself and draw your own conclusions.

If someone wants to believe the earth is flat, how does that harm you?
If someone wants to believe it's hollow, how does that harm you?

It's reallly annoying every topic about this is just an endless stalling discussion. Prove this blablabla how do you explain that??? Blablabla.

Let people think for themselves. Always asking for explaination like fucking childs baka

Use your fucking rhesusmonkey brain. Do you think everyone who works for the gov must be in on 9 / 11 too he? Great fucking logic.


Lets say i put you on a plane and we fly for 20 or so hours until we land in some snowy shithole. Do you think you could tell the difference between north or southpole over even greenland? Delusional

Ask yourself why you can only semi-circumnavigation of antartica

desu i'm not sure about the shape of the earth, but we are 100% beeing lied to about it. So when will you shills bring threads like this up all the time trying to debunk something you didn't even bother research for a couple of hours to it just makes it more interesting for people

Exactly.

The heliocentric model is one based on religion, but it is also mathematically accurate, which is why it is such a strong snare. What they don’t tell you is that there are two other models where the maths works also – geocentric convex and geocentric concave. Therefore the only real way to tell the truth is from experimentation, not maths (maths just rules out flat earth).

When I came upon this guy’s videos on concave Earth I laughed and disbelieved. And then decided to make two experiments he’s talking about. First, recently in September I took a pontoon, strong laser, a measure and made the water experiment on Zegrzynski Lake. The water was perfectly smooth, no wind. Me and my friend stuck a vertical stake in the water and fixed the laser on it on the height of 30 cm above water surface. My friend sailed to the other shore, about 2 km from the first stake and placed a stake there too. By communicating on the phone I set the laser beam on his stake at the same height, 30 cm above water surface. When he confirmed the height was the same on his stake too, the laser was then rigidly fixed to the first stake with two wing screws. My friend sailed back to my position an together we made a measurement in the middle of the distance between the two stakes. The measurement showed that the distance from water surface to the beam was 39-40 cm ! We decided to check if everything was ok with the laser and the stakes. Everything was still perfectly fine. We made another measurement in the middle and it showed the same thing as previously, the beam was about 40 cm from the water surface.

Newcomers to the theory may have a lot of questions, such as “How come I can’t see the other side of the Earth if I look up?”, and “How can it be night and day?”, “How do satellites work?”, “What about pictures from space?”, “How does the maths work?”, “What causes Earthquakes?”, “Where is the ventilation system needed in a concave Earth?”, “What are stars, comets, galaxies etc. and how do they work?”, “Why hide the fact of a concave Earth?” etc.

Most of these questions I can answer, PM me for details.

The only thing we can say for sure is that Earth is infinite and concave.

Or maybe we can say for sure that Earth is a cube with concave sides I am not sure.

Math and physics are fun

In the end the shape itself doesnt actually matter.
So long as we can use the theories and knowledge to advance humanity and solve problems.

I dont know why, but I'm going to reply to this anyway. I guess I'm bored.

Firstly, based on what you said in your "experiment", the earth would be a hollow sphere of radius 5000km. The moon is (much) further than that away from us, and we can see that, so you would definitely be able to see the other side if you looked up.

Secondly, there are a ton of ways to tell the earth is round, people did it several thousand years ago using sticks and shadows. You could head to the top of a skyscraper or fly in a plane and see the curvature or watch a boat leave shore.
You can use compasses to tell the north and south poes apart, among other things like star positions or local wildlife.
You could look through a telescope and realise that literially every other celestial body we can see is round, Earth isn't special.
There are a lot of phenomenon that can only be explained by a rotating, spherical earth. Stuff like the coriolis effect or the foucault pendulum, for example.

Now, I realise that none of this is going to change your mind, but that wasn't my intention anyway.

Some career leftists got recorded by the Project Veritas people conspiring to sabotage Trump's inauguration party with a stinkbomb and fire alarm if that failed.

After they got caught predictably they were like "IT WAS JUST A PRANK, WE TOTALLY KNEW WE WERE INFILTRATED!"

Better question:
Why weren't WW2 pacific theatre american soldiers given shields to defend against japanese katanas? Perhaps if they had shields, Hiroshima and Nagasaki could have been avoided?

What they want you to think:
It was necessary

Reality:
Reptilians made them do it, the nukuluar explosions have pushed Earth into the Sun to raise global temperature to make it comfier for the lizards.

Low energy.

The speech was really good, and I think represents what his whole movement was about: power being transfered from those in power to the people. That's what the movement was always about. We will have an interesting next four years, but things are really hopeful now that we can heal and build as a nation. One nation, one people.

He's our president now, but we should watch him still. Should he slip or make a mistake, don't hold back on being critical about it. But until he makes those mistakes, hold back and enjoy that our nation can become ours again.
