(34,589 posts)Or that people can't understand what it means when a post starts with "Only the NY Post, but an entertaining thought if it happens to be true." (Emphases mine). That they don't understand that this means "I'm passing this along but don't think much of it, but you may find it interesting?"
I disagree: I think DUers can sucessfully navigate the English language, and so did the jury that vetted the post you linked to. I think people on DU are adults with critical minds who can judge properly-attributed information. Sounds like you don't, which is consistent with your other opinions, e.g. that Americans should not know that the NSA is spying on many millions of Americans, that the NSA revelations are total nonsense, and blaming the anger on racists and Libertarians, and so forth.
Is your mission - to protect us - the source of your unfounded personal attacks on Glenn Greenwald? For example, in response to a post Reporting Based On NSA Leaks Wins Polk Award (Greenwald, MacAskill, Poitras, & Gellman), you posted the following:
Flashback: Greenwald calls his business partner "a little bitch" and "a good little whore."
The piece was written by the son of an Obama appointee, the emails unsubstantiated, and the thing had been widely panned as a load of crap.
It had nothing to do with the OP, it was a hit job, yet you presented that as fact. No preface that said anything questioning its veracity at all.
Protection. We need protection. Thank you for your protection.
