In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: "Everyday Americans Need A Champion, And I Want To Be That Champion" [View all]QuestionAlways
(259 posts)94. But it was like Fox News
A report without the context which would change completely the impression it made.
Freshwest quoted a right-wing email in its entirety without the snopes analysis, although he had the link to snopes. His headline, in jest as it turns out, was "And our march to Marxism proceeds!" Those who know him knew it was in jest, but I did not know him. I reacted based on the content of the posting which was essentially a right-wing email. I apologized and edited my original posting to correct my original error, as he requested. But the fact remains, his original posting was without the context which would change completely the impression it made, just like Fox News
