• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This article made some good points. Also, the guy who wrote this article is from Ireland, so he seems to be more impartial compared to Americans, as he is less swayed by American media. Media from across the pond seems more sensible, but even then, we must be wary of media spin, which could happen on both the liberal and conservative sides.

Not clear truth. It's just a Conservative Christian view of their beliefs in what the truth is.

One sign. Do you trust the media (any media) to be impartial? If yes, you trust them too much.

There's always an angle, an agenda. Best we can do is be vigilant about what that agenda is.

Agreed. That is why I use Allsides sometimes, which is a site that rates the news companies by bias. It is not perfect, but gets the job done.

Who should I trust, CF posters? ^_^
There were no citations in your link. It's just words saying other words are false.
ClearTruthMedia. Sure.

Can you teach me those mind reading skills you employ, master?
