    so admitting that conservatives elect terrible leaders? Entire human history pretty much proves that leaders that have integrity are the best leaders and the leaders that don't end up as failures. Trump is definitely on his way towards failure!

    Failure by who's standards. We just went through 8 years of failure with Obama who didn't do very much. Trump at least made some things happen. By conservative standards he's far more of a success than Obama.

    And back on topic, Sinclair (formerly Clear Channel) isn't saying anything negative in that editorial. It's not attacking the left. It's actually a good message - a shining example of an unbiased message. Sinclair gives the minority conservatives a voice in a sea of liberal media. Crushing out that voice through these attacks is a threat to democracy. I thought liberals were suppose to be about diversity. Nothing said in this video is untrue. The real threat is the media which sensationalizes every story to make a quick buck and instead of focusing on the issues focuses on who Trump has slept with and endless investigating him without having found anything a year and change in.

    Opt in check box? Wtf are you talking about? When Facebook users were asked to take surveys for the Obama campaign, they were explictly informed that the data will be used to help the Obama campaign.

    That is massively different than a survey that doesn't inform on intent of the survey.

    You really are trying to play absurd mental gymnastics.

    And I'm sorry, but a CEO of a massive operation is far more credible than a athlete's sex capade stories especially given the implications and serious nature of the CEO's claim.

    Seriously, are you playing a shtick? This is a absurd level mental gymnastics .

    actually, sweet lou was new yorkers troll account.

    he was new yorker for years, but torched his reputation so bad that he started a new account and changed his personality. he said that when he was posting as new yorker he was just trying to stir the pot and he didnt mean what he was saying. this is the guy who defended racist comments by saying that since he is indian and doesnt find it racist that its not racist. then he said he wasnt indian. then he said he was indian. he is not sincere about anything so any interaction is a waste of time.

    i never took anything sweet lou said seriously b/c of all this and now he is back to being new yorker. its incredibly lame and dishonest. why would anyone bother to engage with someone who acts like this?

    I thought your return was an April Fools joke, but it's Tuesday now and you're still posting.

    You should consider moving to Russia, you really should. Putin has exactly the kind of "democracy" you are obviously in love with. Already up and "working!" You clearly don't care about truth in the news, so why not live where the absence of truth in the news is an everyday occurrence?

    If you are determined to be an anti-democratic tool, why fool around? Move to Russia and live with the kind of government you can relish and praise to your heart's content, as long as you praise Mr. Putin. It's what Mr. trump wants here, and it is what he isn't going to get, so why waste your time? Mr. Putin already has what you so obviously desire.

    Revel in your time!

    In all seriousness - I am not sure what is wrong with that script.

    Is the problem what is written, or is the problem that it came from Sinclair?

    It was an April's fool joke - kinda. Clutch is suppose to merge my accounts so I was just having some fun satirizing the right for a bit.

    Sadly, too many people on the left take what I write as serious right-wing positions. Let me tell you something, it's really hard to satirize the right even when you are being ridiculously over-the-top
