As I've explained elsewhere, Trans so-called "science" is famously, FAMOUSLY, politicized, biased, whitewashed.

That sounds a lot like "shoot the messenger" to me. Where is your evidence that it is "famously politicized biased and whitewashed"? Postmillenial.com?

I see with your link to them, youve decided to help bankroll the good people of Macedonia as well. Good for you! With any luck the admins of that site will be able to build their new 3,000sq ft home in Veles.

@raphjd
Sorry, we can't all be cash cows for the good people of Macedonia. I prefer not taking at face value, the links provided here in the forum. It's a good thing knowing the people behind the curtain.

Raphjd: "trans people are bad, and here's my evidence - thepostmillenial.com"

Spintendo: "the postmillennial com is bunk, and here's my evidence - mediabiasfactcheck.com"

blablarg18: "Wait a minute Spintendo, you can't refute raphjd's point with just one website, that's lazy. You need to bring in a whole bunch of other evidence to refute what Raphjd claimed (from one website)"

In moving all those goalposts, people certainly wouldn't blame blablarg18 for being lazy.

@blablarg18

Resist the mainstream.com was the website raphjd chose to put here on the forum as his backing source. Don't blame me for the clickfarm trash he brings us.

If you were to say "well he didn't intentionally post clickfarm links here on purpose, he just didn't know they're based in Macedonia" ...... Now that I would understand. I believe he has not a clue nor a care about where these website links he posts comes from, or who they're bankrolling (Even though I've mentioned resist the media.com is being from Macedonia long time ago) I'm sure it was in one ear and out the other.

If he HAD found it on a leftist site (which he implies is so easy to do) then I believe he would have posted that leftist site here as his source (or would have very shortly after my post)

@blablarg18

"Where you get your information from" is not the laziest argument, but rather, the most important argument one can make.

In any event, I wasn't attacking Tim pool for being inaccurate, rather I was attacking him for being 30 years too late to the discussion.

@frostycab

Attacking the source of the information is a legitimate response.

If I said so-and-so.com is reporting that the elfs at Santa's North Pole are rioting due to their melting homes and factory, would your response be to attack so-and-so.com where I got the story from? or would you debate me on the merits of whether or not the North Pole elf population's melting homes are worth rioting about.

Resist the Mainstream is a website that publishes conservative news and opinion stories containing a total lack of transparency. Authors are credited but typically do not use their full or real names.

The contact page claims they are from Miami, Florida; however, this is a digital virtual mailbox forwarding service that attempts to lend them credibility as an American source.

According to Stanford researchers, the website is from Veles, Macedonia, posing as an imposter conservative news source. The domain for this website changes frequently to avoid being shut down.

Since 2016, Macedonians have produced numerous fake conservative websites to dupe American conservative readers and generate advertising revenue through social media sharing.

It's nice to see Raphjd doing his part in generating revenue through all his numerous clicks to/from/at resistthemainstream.com The people of Macedonia salute you!!

Why am I not surprised that Tim Pool, the videographer from the Occupy Wall Street protests who started and owns timcast.com, would have stories on his website discussing journal articles written by researchers 30 years ago? I would have thought that Tim being a little "behind" on his research would certainly have been a given.

At the end of that article, Tim Pool writes:

"As a result of the findings (from 1994), researchers called for additional studies to shed light on the familial contribution to gender identity disorders."

Surely there's been countless studies over the past 30 years on this topic. Perhaps Tim will be prepared to read some of them 30 years from now!

The Post Millennial, co-founded in 2017 by Matthew Azrieli and Ali S. Taghva, and owned and operated by the Après le Millénaire, is rated "Right Biased" on story selection that favors the right and "Mixed" in reporting due to publishing unsubstantiated claims and having failed several fact checks.

Failed Fact Checks from Post Millennial com:

Rainbow poppies not mandatory for Remembrance Day at Manitoba school – False

“almost nobody showed up” to Kamala Harris’ campaign stop in Asheville, North Carolina, on October 21 – Mostly False

“FLASHBACK: Final debate moderator busted on hot mic coaching Clinton campaign director.” – Mostly False

Harris Hasn’t Called Biden a ‘Racist’ or a ‘Rapist’ – False

Greta Thunberg predicted the ‘World Will End In 2023’ – False

Sounds like a bunch of Canadian hokum to me.

It's enormously satisfying to see conservative media reaping what they sow. Those who tell lies ought to face consequences, and now they have.

Fox Corporation said in a statement that "we acknowledge the court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion [that were made on Fox News] to be false. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues."

Hopefully the "moving forward" part of Fox's statement means that Fox will learn from its mistakes. But I wouldn't count on it.

Is this the smoking gun?

Nope. That letter is actually supportive evidence for any testimony Cohen might give, because part of his testimony would be to explain how he lied and did other bad things for Trump for many years. The letter dates from when he was part of the conspiracy, so the fact that it contains lies about the $130,000 payment corroborates Cohen's later testimony under oath. That letter was not even written by Cohen .... it's from Cohen's attorney. Evidence such as the checks to Cohen that Trump signed are better smoking guns than this letter.

@raphjd I'm saying the media bias website which classifies as garbage most of the websites you like to peruse (and link to here in the forum for your various "news stories") uses the methodology from IFCN @ Poynter for their fact checking. That has nothing to do with Facebook.

I'm also saying that the methodology they use for bias checking is a mathematical formula which also has nothing to do with Facebook.

@raphjd oh, and, Zuckerberg mentions in his testimony the success of Facebook's independent third party fact checkers on page 1

@raphjd that ridiculous link that you left to Breitbart said Facebook lawyers testified. Last I checked Zuckerberg is not a Facebook lawyer. You still haven't provided evidence of his testimony. That you said he gave.

Like when Zuckerberg testified before the Congressional hearing .....you know, providing testimony in a congressional building ....here's the link to that testimony

https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/download/zuckerberg-testimony?download=1

See how easy that was ? why is it so difficult for you to follow up on the things that you mention

That media bias checker website doesn't use any of what you say it uses... you made all that up out of thin air

@raphjd I don't see where Zuckerberg testified. You didn't provide a link to his testimony. That would be so helpful if you did.

And of course it would be wonderful if you could illuminate us on the difference between fact checking and checking for media bias. Surely you know that those are two different things right?

@raphjd how can I be derailing the conversation when you clearly don't even know the difference between a courtroom and a congressional building. If you can't label things correctly what hope is there for your discussion with anyone

@raphjd you said Zuckerberg was testifying in court and I'm just dying to know which courtroom he testified in

@raphjd said

They also use the same "fact checkers" that Zuckerberg testified in court

Zuckerberg testified in court??? And where was this courtroom testimony given, was it in Manhattan during Trump's arraignment? LoL Do tell.....

@raphjd said in BREAKING: Obama Received $30 Million From CCP Linked Fugitive According to Leonardo DiCaprio:

Ah, those guys.

It's funny how they say that conservatives are far right, but liberal sources are left of center. No bias there.

That's exactly what you said, that "liberal sources were classified as left of center.".... when the categories were, in fact, more dynamic than how you originally portrayed them as being.

I'm just saying I can always count on you not paying too close attention to some thing you've denigrated. I think that's how most people operate... they don't look too closely at things they don't care to understand. It's human nature.
