There's a reason the 10th Amendment exists."</i><br />NOT propaganda and NOT misleading.<br /><br />Headline: <b>Incident Involving A MAGA Hat, A Sword, A Pirate Costume And A Roller Rink Ends Poorly For All Involved </b><br /><br />The headline contains facts of the case; the MAGA-pirate was yelling homophobic slurs, someone knocked his hat off in reaction, 'pirate' slashes his 'assailant' hand with a sword, runs off. Security finds bloodied sword and beer bottle the 'pirate had been drinking from. 'Pirate trscked down, fingerprints matched. He is now facing attempted murder (and other charges), and insists on defending himself. His victim 's hand was almost severed. <br />NOT propaganda and NOT misleading.<br /><br />Headline:<b> Sure, Nazis Are Killing People But The DHS's Katie Gorka Wants To Focus On Antifascists</b> <br />Absolutely true. NOT propaganda and NOT misleading.<br /><br />Headline:<b> Laura Ingraham Was Sh*tty On Martin Luther King Anniversary, ARE YOU SURPRISED?</b> <br />She was, and Wonkette commenters were NOT surprised.<br /><br />Headline:<b>Michael Cohen Has Idea: What If He Went To NOT Prison Next Month?</b> True.<br /><br />Headline:<b>Erick Erickson Says Pete Buttigieg Thinks Jesus Loves Bestiality, Which Is NOT A LICENSE TO F*CK GOATS, ERICK!</b> True, and true.<br /><br />Headline:<b>Ben Shapiro Still Throbbing Dickhead </b><br />NOT LITERALLY TRUE, but not propaganda either, nor is there misleading intent in that headline--it is a sincere opinion.<br /><br />As we like to say at Wonkette; Ad Fontes is "A IDIOT" (and as its 'research' is either lazy and/or flawed in methodology it's pseudo-intellectual argle-bargle determinations are clearly ...*drum-roll"... misleading, propagandist and biased. <br /><br />In conclusion, allow me to re purpose the Wonkette headline <b>"STFU AD FONTES [TIM RYAN} YOU DICK"</b>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146818546222759181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-82645274836237777802019-04-07T10:39:07.676-04:002019-04-07T10:39:07.676-04:00if people are relying on Wonkette as a news source...if people are relying on Wonkette as a news source, they are stupid.
