Her "cloests aide" "revelaed"? Pardon me if I'm slightly skeptical of a news source that doesn't even bother trying to mind their spelling.

Scan any news aggregator and you will find typos like that every single day.

maybe it is because folks are texting it in, or because we rely on imperfect spellcheck programs (or even translation programs, are we outsourcing news aggregation too?), or because people are just in a rush, or as you suggest because the professionalism levels are reducing.

In any case it matters not whether you please the gramma nannies. It matters only that the content of your missive is essentially accurate and that you communicate the message clearly.

Zerohedge is about as good as any alternative news outlet on the WWW.

They aren't Seymour Hersh at The Atlantic, but they beat the pants of the "NETWORK"s any day.

Nigel, it's been a while, would you like this one?

Oh, no, not worth the bother, really. These days I only bother with ones that seem to have *some* critical thinking skills already, and haven't simply bought into the "I like this alternative view so I'm going to believe it unreservedly".

And conspiracy theorists are right out as far as that goes. Especially "amateur economist" conspiracy theorists.

QuoteIOW those two clans are in on the coup that masquerades as our elected government.

Just my opinion.

Please expand on this opinion. I'm intrigued.

Both the Bush clan and the Clinton clan are balls deep into the deep state that is a direct descendant of the MIC quasi coup that seized control of our government beginning with the assassination of the Bros Kennedy.

The RationalWiki entry for ZeroHedge is hilarious, so if I got nothing else out of this thread, there's that.

We probably don't want to. It thinks shouting names is the same as saying anything. Communication will be difficult, though not impossible.

teeny tiny text so I'm linking instead of embedding.

QuoteEveryone in the United States likes to back up one of their political arguments with what would the Founding Fathers do. And you know, I've heard it for the last time without forming some pretty distinct thoughts on the matter.

Raising the ghosts of the Founders to support your political argument is just flat out stupid. Here's why:

1) They're freaking dead. They've all been dead for about 200 years.
