    I tend to agree with you, but I also think it’s important to know how the “enemy” thinks and interpret the news. I don’t think we should lock ourselves up in echo bubbles only reading stuff we agree with.

      In theory I’d agree with you. I don’t mind reading of nuances or different opinions than mine.

      In general however, conservative media are worthless piece of shit embarrassments that I don’t want to waste time on.

      There’s a difference between discussing with sometime with a different opinion, and stopping in the middle of the road responding to every deranged, mentally challenged ignorant mean crack addict who yells their vision of the world from the top of a soap box.

        Agreed. They don’t argue in good faith. Their goal is not honesty and truth. What’s the point in engaging with someone like that?

          Arguing in good faith is the important part.

          As soon as I engage with someone not arguing in good faith, I leave. There’s just no point.

        Comparing Forbes to a deranged, mentally challenged crack addict isn’t very fair, whatever your opinion is on Forbes or crack addicts.

      We don’t need to post their blatant propaganda as if it were a reliable source in order to do that though.
