Huh, no. Your man began this by comparing police shootings and you then went way off that issue and tried to tie rape into the issue.

Don't you even read the posts? I didn't compare anything. I just showed that Klavan's facts were incorrect which made his position on MSM wrong. It is impossible to understand why the ratio of police shooting blacks is higher simply by looking at stats. Each case needs to be look at individually.

Some are. I can certainly say that my Uncle was but then most cops that I know are not anymore sexist than the average man or woman.


Then you should know that he phrased it in a manner which makes it easy to disprove, "IF" the person listens without bias. He may have done that to try and prove his point.


I agreed with his point about media bias. He described the right wing media perfectly and he also hit some of the moderate and liberal media sources as well.

I normally don't watch national or cable news but I started watching CNN recently to see if they are biased and I certainly believe that they are. Everything is so political there and I hate politics. The News section of Fox News is fairly good but the political shows are more biased than CNN.

I get my news from the local stations. Usually the local Fox station.

You gave that to another person but invited me to watch it because of Klavan's analysis.

No. They are mirror images of each other.

And, where are the former bosses of the Fox News Channel and who do they support? Proof that Fox is a uniculture of far right wingers.

you forget that bias is not what makes one fake news. It's when their biases are false.

fake news is all about showing how no one including the presidents wife, flotus. does not want to hold or shake trumps hand. In poland again some media sources jump on this fake news band wagon again and say that the first lady of poland did not want to shake trumps hand. Is this preschool? Are we petty little children, that the MSM has to entertain us with a fake stuff like this? Negative news sells. So keep an eye out for fake news. Many times it comes in the form of negativity of trump, a new harvard study suggests.

again he does not have to celebrate the holiday, thats fine. But don't show patriotism to another country on the most patriotic holiday of the year.
If his genealogy can be traced back to Ghana, then he is free to celebrate as he wishes. If the Conservative media had kept quiet, no one would have known or cared. Let him fade off like so many others before him.

In truth, patriotism is neither.
Patriotism in the American context is demonstrating love of America and of American values.
In truth, there is no real set of American values. Americans are not the same and values vary. That is why it is important to respect another person's right to be different.
Crapping on the American flag is not illegal, but it is also not patriotic and it is not something worthy of respect.
It depends on where it occurs. Taking a crap in public will get you throw in jail.


For example, the proper response to someone degrading your wife would not be to say that you are showing your love for her by respecting the person who is degrading her.
A woman is not an inanimate object like a flag is. Degrading a person can do serious psychological damage while a flag is easily replaced.
If a man does that the wife would have every right to believe that her man does not think very much of her.
What happened to her Christian values? We not supposed to respond to anger with anger.

You are probably referring to some recent studies which show are beginning to hesitate more when confronting blacks because of all of the press which has shed a bad light on cop shootings. This, though, is not the case when studying the shootings over the past 15 years.

and why is the past 15 year -outdated studies all of a sudden more important than than up to date studies?

Outdated studies? A study is only as good as the information it has. If they only look at the past year, that study isn't good for much, other for a short term basis. Next year's info could flip those numbers in the opposite direction.

Information which comes from a larger cross section gives a much better perspective of actual trends. So it isn't about when the study occurs but what information it reveals.

you can always have trend reversals, so your point is moot. here. I personally like up to date information.

Yesterday, Donald Trump Struck a Righteous Blow against Universalism


We have to remember that our defense is not just a commitment of money, it is a commitment of will. Because as the Polish experience reminds us, the defense of the West ultimately rests not only on means but also on the will of its people to prevail and be successful and get what you have to have. The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?
Trumps latest speech expert above perfectly defines something that the left can no longer grasp, and why the leftist press is so hell bent on deposing him through fake news.

Trump understands that culture matters, that freedom itself does not exist without the fabric of the West as developed over millennia creating the value system that makes freedom possible.
This is something that the elites on both the left and the right have forgotten, the Bushes as much as Obamas.
Luckily the American people have not, and in this speech Trump speaks for their American values in an age where so many do not even recognize that there is such a thing as American values.

Part of what I wrote was about trend reversals. That is why studies using 10 years of stats tells more than one with a year, like the one showing police hesitating longer when blacks are concerned. That trend could change very quickly, so my point was correct.
