    Only possible way to not get trapped in a bubble is to get info from both sources and then weigh one against the other, with partisan bias in consideration, and then use cross-references of original documents if possible.

      I'm just trying to understand how you separate true things from false things and that was a clear example of something which is probably true.

      While I wouldn't support impeachment or anything like that over mere association, wouldn't you agree that it raises questions about why the presidents personal lawyer is working with individuals recently arrested for campaign finance violations?

        Oh, hey, it's a photo caption that ignored someone doing the sieg heil to focus on a child in an American flag punisher shirt giving a thumbs down

        This, in one photo, is how the mainstream press covers for this fool in Chief

        The collective inability for the conservatives on this website to even recognize this baffles me. The mainstream press has absolutely coddled this man, content to milk him for ratings.

          The fact that they published the picture at all would seem to contradict your narrative.

          Although to be fair, a still image can be deceiving. I can think of a number of innocent gestures that if captured at just the right moment could look like a "sieg heil" salute, so it seems plausible that it's not captioned that way because the photographer knew that's not what the man was doing, but they published the picture anyway knowing that gullible nuts like you would jump to a false conclusion.

          Just for fun...

            The only difference with international coverage is that there's not the equivalent of Breitbart or FOX News to provide some balance.

            • MM,

              None of those people are sieg heiling.

              Trump supporters throw the nazi salute sometimes and this is one of those times. The Media doesn't mention it. Posting a bunch of photos of a politician in some sort of midwave means nothing.

              • Also,

                Did I say that the american press gave him positive coverage?

                I said they coddled the man.

                Tassman, you want to go start a subreddit with me or something? In the 3 years since I left it seems many of the remaining posters no longer know how to read and your talents are better served with a community larger than 15 moderators and 3 regular posters or whatever is left here. Message me your facebook or twitter or something

                  You're right, but this takes very little time and occupies the spare moments at work.

                        The point is that you can take a picture of anyone raising or lowering their arm or just waving and proclaim that they're giving a Nazi salute. And with Beto, who's arms move like windmill blades when he talks ...

                              Right, and posting pictures of Trump supporters in mid-wave doesn't mean anything, either. (It's always amusing when someone gets my point without actually getting it. )

                              And then you link to a video of a Neo Nazi giving a speech to a roomful of "alt right" nuts, and this is supposed to prove... what, exactly?
