Subject: Re: Ain't That The Truth
Again, you're conflating a mathematical statement - which is an abstract statement that is testable irrespective of context - with reporting of facts.
And you're bringing in jury trials and testimony into a debate about news reporting on an internet message board.
You've already agreed with me that it's up to the reader/watcher to do due diligence and determine what the best sources are.
I'll further extend this and say that it's not up to a few posters on said message board to pre-determine where all sources of information are allowed to be pulled. And when these so-called gatekeepers of truth engage in the at kind of tactic, I'm going to call it out and jump on it.
They're not "claiming victory."
They're refusing to engage in actual debate and are just running away. That's fine if it works for them.
