In reply to the discussion: RT is the Devil's news service! [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)82. Since I am more than happy to repeat every word I have ever written here, why didn't you save
yourself the trouble of all that work to try to dig up something to play 'gotcha' with? And when you couldn't find it, just make stuff up? That makes YOU look bad. Why not simply ask me to repeat my opinions, I would have been more than happy to do so. But then you couldn't have made stuff up I suppose.
You 'exposed' nothing, You used an old over used, tired tactic which is so familiar here people simply laugh when they see it.
Let me explain how it works for those reading who may be new around here.
Tactic
Someone dares to have an opinion you don't like.
1) Frantically search through that person'scomments. Try very hard to find something to use AGAINST THEM. Do NOT discuss anything, you might lose.
2) If you can't find anything damaging, just post LINKS, NO TEXT. Goal is to hope readers won't click the links.
3) Then, in ominous sounding text claim something was stated in the link that was not stated, then hope readers won't click links.
4) Q.E.D. Person who dared to disagree with you will now be, (in this case) transformed from merely a person with a different opinion into: A COMMIE!! Lol.

Of course it only works if the person is not well known to most people on the forum. This wasn't even a good try. But knock yourself out if you have nothing better to do, I suppose.
Btw, your opinion means nothing to me. No disrespect, but I've read your comments also.
Oh, and RT is one of many great sources of information we have today, unlike back in 2000 when all we had was the MSM.
I love that we can now get different viewpoints and don't have to be stuck with the war mongering on our own Corporate Media.
Enjoy your evening. Try not to take all this so seriously.
You really can't influence what books people choose to read, not yet anyhow, or movies or websites grown up adult human beings choose as sources of information.
You read what books YOU want, the rest of us will read and watch what we want.

Lol, they said that about Al Jazeera also. Because we couldn't have real reporters reporting

How about Chris Hedges, Democracy Now? How about Kucinich, or Members of the British Parliament?
