    Ridiculous. "Several staffers" isn't a person, and it's not a people either. It's a made up lie. It doesn't matter how many "sources" say
    it, there's no truth in it unless you (at least) have names.

    It's the usual misinformation that they push.

    A number of years ago they tried a similar thing with guns. Just quoting made up talking points. They don't seem to understand that saying a falsehood many times doesn't make it true.

    You know. Something just occured to me. I've never heard any of them say "beetlejuice".

    No, no, and no. And they didn't even tell you their name(s). Some idiot said "several staffers" and you fell for it.

    People like Alan only listen to "facts" that they agree with and ignore everything else.

    If that was his only problem, then he'd be better off, but he's going to random websites that include the keywords "factcheck" in their domain, and he's using that as justification for believing whatever they say.

    He doesn't know what he believes until a website tells him what he believes. It's sad, but true. A few of us on here have been trying to rehabilitate him for years already, but it's hopeless.

    It is. That's why I don't bother reading his (and other's) messages anymore.

    They are completely disconnected from Reality and cannot reason - let alone listen to reason.

    And you believe fox news?

    I believe Fox News when they name names, but not when they say "several staffers."

    The "Fox News" trope is just part of their Narrative. If you don't listen to the Propaganda sites, then you must listen to Fox News. Most of us know that Fox News is just Controlled Opposition and don't take what they say there as "truth".

    They seem to think that everyone else works like them: Listen to their Propaganda site to get their thinking in structions for the day. The idea that people can think for themselves is hard for them to understand.

    Mediabiasfactcheck.com isn't a government agency. What authority do they ha

    Wait I'm confused; aren't you right wingers all "oh no! deep state!"? I woul
    have thought conservatives would *prefer* a non-governmental fact che... ahhh yea, FACTS. That's where we got off the rails. Facts are anathema, forgot that heh.

    Once you are around this echo a while, you will realize that the individual on the other side of this particular discussion is just as allergic to facts as any conservative supposedly is.

    Like a blind squirrel, they will sometimes stumble upon an acorn of fact,
    but that will be the exception and not the norm.
