Not defending the previous remarks, but the NYT does slant left. There are very few news sources any more that don't slant one way or the other. Just as you reserve the right to call out someone posting info from a right leaning news source, others can call out the NYT as a left leaning news source. IMO, it's important to remember that sometimes, these news sources(on both sides) have an agenda.

I agree they slant left. They are not anti-Semitic, however. Do you agree?

You said it better than I did.

I guess my perspective on the suppression thing is different. I had a case once where client was accused of sexual assault. Happened in a jail. Cameras everywhere. I got the tapes the police and jail hadn’t bothered to get. No sexual assault. Case dismissed. No tape and the case would have been much more serious. Once there’s been an allegation, I don’t know that suppression of the evidence helps anybody.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see AOC acting a fool, wouldn’t be shocked if this is vastly exaggerated, either. Don’t really care if she did, one way or the other, it won’t change my opinion of her. I already don’t agree with her policies, message, or methods. I appreciate and respect that she’s trying to pass legislation that her district elected her to pass. None of that will be changed by any of this.

Not sure what you mean by suppression of evidence not helping anyone? If someone is accused of something, and you have evidence to prove it, then of course it helps the accused to have it suppressed. If there's actually video evidence of AOC acting a fool, it benefits her tremendously if it's suppressed.

You can't keep asking people to not put 2 and 2 together. What obscure house candidate even has the time or the means to daytrip from NY to the Texas border?

I don't even have that much of a problem with a political stunt. Just don't act indignant when somebody calls it what it was.

It may have been a stunt. However, a lot of people travel to places before they are elected. She's Hispanic and these refugees are Hispanic. A good number of her constituency in NY are Hispanic.

uh huh......prove him wrong on that instead of just pulling words out your butt sparky.
Just who are you and why should we believe whatever you say dolt? Fake outrage is all you know.

Because I read the NYT. I know you don't. From the content of your posts, all you appear to do is cruise RWNJ websites and listen to Rush Limbaugh.

You’re assumption that the evidence proves it sort of makes my point, doesn’t it?

Edit: I see now. It was inferred in your other post when you said “if it existed...”

You’re right. If there’s evidence she berated guards and it is suppressed that would help her.

It could either prove it or disprove it. If it proves it, and is suppressed, then it benefits her. If it disproves it, it benefits her for it to be released. Supposition requires that we know video evidence one way or the other actually exists. Without knowing if such video actually exists, how would we know if it's being suppressed?

See my edit. It’s early and I’m still on my first cup of coffee but I think I agree with all of this.

I think your original statement meant “if the video exists as he says it does and is suppressed...”

And I read it to mean “if the video exists at all and is suppressed...”

No worries. Everything hinges on if video exists. I'm not going to believe the guy just because he says it does. I learned my lesson after the truth about Santa came to light.

You should devote your grey matter to the truth. Do you really think the Washington Post is a government mouthpiece? Ben Bradlee, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were spied on and threatened by the government while they were reporting Watergate. There is freedom of the press in the US and it is still being exercised.

Declassified and freely available memos on 3 letter agency gov websites are an interesting read, especially when they name their "media assets".
Research can be so enlightening but it seems a lot of folks would rather be fed information as truth than hunt for it themselves.

To be honest, I think the other Clinton fraud (ole Bill) was probably a hair sniffer like Biden. Just a different target area.
