directed at groups of people, juries get it right.

IMHO there are too many people who want to put blinders on to protect themselves from the significant variation in political thought among the left of center coalition. I've been called to quite a few juries for right wing talking points when the point being asserted wasn't even close.

We need to be exposed to the entire range of political thought (within the left-of-center perspective). (To be politically healthy, se actually do need to be exposed to the entire spectrum - but I'm fine with keeping the right wing thought out of this particular space.)

If you think a particular video is being posted as a right wing talking point Ms. Toad Feb 2017 #19

Good point but you have to leave it up to a jury yuiyoshida Feb 2017 #23

Then appeal it to the admins. Ms. Toad Feb 2017 #48

I have rarely seen the Admins over turn a Jury however yuiyoshida Feb 2017 #53

I'd be wary of censoring or banning all right-wing media True Dough Feb 2017 #34
