Are you not worried that your President is now the laughing stock of Sweden and other countries. +1 |

Did they tell them Puerto Rico was a state? http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/EU_PENCE_EU_AMERICAN_FLAG?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2017-02-20-13-15-10 |

Did they tell them Puerto Rico was a state? Well, Puerto Rico NEEDS to be a State (and therefore have a voice in the US Federal Government), in my opinion. After all, the people of Puerto Rico ARE US Citizens. That said, the article did not mention Puerto Rico. After all, there are other US Territories that could become States. Also, there are at least two current States that have active movements to split into two States (California and Colorado). It does read as if the bureaucrat in the EU whose job it was to display the US flag made a mistake. Bureaucratic errors... par for the course. Nothing to see here. https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016. Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power. |

Continue to 'Instruct' the Waning Empire. Forgetting who will be the great future influence (possibly control) of Asia and Europe. Neither Europe nor Asia are empires, they are continents, comprised of many nations. What are the nations you believe to have expanding empires? I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Continue to 'Instruct' the Waning Empire. Forgetting who will be the great future influence (possibly control) of Asia and Europe. Clearly neither Gary nor I said that we believed the "who" referred to continents, why would you believe either of us did? The question asked was about the unnamed nations were you referring to (as you only mentioned continents previously), thanks for answering that, shame you stop there. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Poor Clyde, can't even figure out what post by whom he is replying too. Reminds me of supporters of 45, alternative facts. Time to route Clyde's stdin and stdout to http://www.manifestation.com/neurotoys/eliza.php3 >Hello, I am Eliza. |

tRump to take money from jihadist Muslim country and host a terrorist recruitment party at his hotel. Gary, you are just a part of the 'faux news channel'. Please stop posting crap that only furthers your sick point of view. It really is getting old. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

President Trump's attacks on the media are the "best thing" to happen to New York Times subscriptions, the newspaper's editor says. http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/26/media/new-york-times-editor-dean-baquet-subscriptions/ |

Gary, you are just a part of the 'faux news channel'.I think you just told all of us fox news channel is fake news. Perhaps those, like MK and CLYDE, who state that journalism is a fraud and/or dead, do not understand what journalism is, nor where to find it, instead they uncritically accept the pronouncements of others that have made the decision for them. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Present Day Fraud Journalism.There is no fraud. The duty is to the shareholder, not the reader. There is no journalism as long as the duty is to the shareholder not the reader. Hence there can be no journalism fraud. Faux "opinion" is a prime example. It has no news and only prints, broadcasts, opinion. Outlets like Birtebart are totally invented just like supermarket tabloids were a couple decades ago. You can still find a few that have a separation between reporting and opinion and the marketing department. tRump will give you a list, just look for a list of fake from him. Getting harder and harder to find them though, IQ's of American's are in decline as more and more creationism is taught as fact. American's no longer care for real reporting based on leaks from anonymous sources that start the investigative process and result in Watergates. Now they just want a juicy fiction story to entertain them while their master slips them into chains. |

Gary, you are just a part of the 'faux news channel'.I think you just told all of us fox news channel is fake news. Bobby, I know what journalism is... And, NO, I do not 'uncritically accept the pronouncements of others' on the subject. I have been watching the decline and demise of journalism over the past 50+ years. I have linked here before the code of journalistic ethics of the American Society of News Editors. I will do it again... http://asne.org/content.asp?contentid=171 ASNE Statement of Principles As Clyde said, I call it ALL 'fake' (not to be trusted), not just the outlets that I disagree with, but ALL of it. Why? Well, the business of news has changed over the last 50+ years -- GREATLY changed. It has gone from an institution of public service to just another business -- all about the 'bottom line'. Between their own editorial bias, and their own marketing departments, they all violate their own code of ethics. <opinion> The decline started with Cable TV News channels and other forms of electronic news distribution to the public... That turned journalism into entertainment. </opinion> But, if you want to believe (with an almost religious faith, it seems) in the veracity and truthfulness of current News media outlets, so be it. Nothing I can say or do is likely to change your mind. You do have the right to believe this way. But, to me, they have ALL violated the trust and respect we have placed in them. Have a nice day, Bobby, and be well. https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016. Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power. |

...It has gone from an institution of public service to just another business -- all about the 'bottom line'. *This* is why I am against privatization of any public service. *This* is why I prefer public media outlets and wish there were more of them. *This* is why I am against DeVos, and privatization of schools, and for-profit education. *This* is why I am against private prisons. *This* is why I want healthcare (insurance) to be a public service and not a business. *This* is why I feel regulations are important to protect our society. *This* is my problem with unregulated capitalism. #resist |

Between their own editorial bias, and their own marketing departments, they all violate their own code of ethics.That is a vile slander. They follow their ethics precisely. Oh wait, you are confused about which code of ethics they follow. The code of ethics for every public company is "The fiduciary duty to the shareholder." If there is some other, it only comes after the shareholder's profits are maximized. Now, go call a constitutional convention and change that; make America the world leader in the abolishment of lawyer written ethics. |

You do have the right to believe this way. But, to me, they have ALL violated the trust and respect we have placed in them. It's not my claim that it's all dead or all fraud, it's my claim that we don't have sufficient evidence to reach that conclusion. It terms of belief akin to religious versus healthy skepticism, I'd argue that my view is closer to the latter, and CLYDE's and yours are potentially closer to the former. You appear to believe that you have sufficient evidence for your conclusion, which is fine, though what you've presented on these boards has not convinced me of your view.
