    After the Atlantic publishes an article about Vivek Ramaswamy being a 9-11 truther, he says he was misquoted. The Atlantic shows its bias in vicious fashion by disseminating the audio.

    Objective truth is a dirty tactic. Undermines the very basis for all conservative arguments. It's bias.

    I just watched him spin his quotes on faux news. He proffered that transparency and truth were at the very heart of his candidacy. Then, promptly, proceeded to lie about what he actually said, and downplaying any suggestions of conspiracy theories surrounding Jan. 6th and 09/11, specifically. Then, I assume he intended, subtly, reintroduced the idea that both incidents were potentially aided by the U.S. Government.
    So much for transparency.

    It’s just vital to so many people: anything I don’t like can simply be dismissed because, you know, the media ….

    I don't understand why he was questioning the number of agents on the planes if he wasn't suggesting 9-11 was an inside job.

    Don't try. You will only mess yourself up. Don't grant underserved indulgences, benefits of the doubt.

    Probably good advice. I watched his sit down with Bill Maher on Club Random and was trying to figure him out. Smart and interesting guy, but my gut is that I don't trust him. I'm sure my time could be better spent than psychoanalyzing these people, but I just can't seem to help myself, lol.

    We all have our weaknesses. If that is your worst vice, you are a far better person than I. But then, we already knew that

    My biggest issue with media. Left and right. Isnt what they say. Its what they don't.

    CNN likes to tell you a story about Trump. A true one, but may conveniently leave out a story about someone else.

    FOX loves to talk about Hunter, but will leave out important nuggets about Trump.

    I think they mostly "tell" the truth, but they are dishonest by omission.
