Well, I just read the actual NY Times article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/15/business/media/spooked-private-spies-news-media.html

I have yet to see any admission by the NY Times that the Steele Dossier was a "lie or false" The article does point out that a few of the claims in the dossier have been proven false, but most of the claims simply can't be proven with tangible evidence. This article was written by Barry Meier, who actually was a NY Times reporter. And as such, he was involved in actual investigative journalism, including his personal attempt to verify the authenticity of the dossier by meeting with Mr. Steele (Like an actual journalist should). It seems Mr. Meier has actual journalistic standards, because he was dissatisfied that the dossier meets the standards of journalism, and opines that such is the reason Mueller barely mentioned it in his investigation.

I would imagine Mr. Meier would also be dissatisfied by any "news" outlet portraying his article as some kind of admission that his former employer (NY Times) stated the Dossier is false, because that's not at all what this is. And as a former employee of the NY times, he wouldn't be in a position to speak on their behalf anyway.

Which brings me to a greater point about identifying actual journalism vs political hackery. The site Shawnee posted is clearly trying to misrepresent Barry Meier's article as something it is not. While the New York Times published an article by a former employee because it speaks to the high journalistic standards they have. If the NY times cared more about politics than truth, they never would have published an article that casts any doubt on the accuracy of the dossier. 

And so ends todays lesson in differentiating actual journalism from political hackery.

I'll be honest with you PowerStroker, the NY Times is the ONLY newsdesk I have blocked on Twitter, for the sole reason they are the most biggoted and partisan news desk in existance! 

I am shocked that you would be quoting a Rupert Murdoch article, let alone actually subscribing to their BS... but I guess COVID lockdown has been pretty boring.

In this forum I have always maintaind that the Assosiated Press was another anti-American news organazation spreading propoganda in the USA... Come to find out the Assosiated Press has been sharing a building with Hamas.

Some newsdesk the Assosiated Press is to have Hamas opperating right under their nose in the same building and yet not know nothing about it... but I think they did know, I think the AP has always put an anti-American spin on anything they publish!

As for Trump and his pee tapes... If I chick was hot enough I'd let her pee on me. Who fucking cares?

The REAL question is, was Richard Gere really admitted to the hospital for having a gerbil trapped in his asshole? Because that is something I for sure WOULDN'T do.

Could you be more specific? 

The times I have been kicked off, or "limited" we're all because I said how I felt about a given issue that they disagreed with. 

They had creative ways of generalizing the issue but basiclly it was all bullshit. 

Twitter and many social media companies claim it is was Trump who started an insurrection at the capital, but the sad truth is all of their companies were just as complicit over the past 3 1/2 years leaching off his popularity and even being the communications to set up these and many other "flash mobs".

If you are looking for someone to blame for the insurrection PowerStroker you need not look any further than the SCOTUS. Perhaps the most important issues that divided the country in the most profound way failed to take up the case and put an end to the chaos, I mean we are talking a great number of states sueing, a pandemic going on... they had the obligation to act because the buck was supposed to stop at the SCOTUS.  Had the SCOTUS acted then many close to Trump could have talked him off the ledge, but they let it play out until the bitter end. Talk about a complete let down of the American people, regardless of political affiliation!

Could you try not to get any in my mouth? Oh what am I talking about, you'd prolly get stage fright and I'd be stuck waiting for the fire department anyway. 

Is there anything you wouldn't pee on or in? Cheerios and now poles... seems you might have a secret pee fetish too!
