Rusty trolls progressives? I'm pretty sure he is a progressive. Rusty likes to debate, as do I. There's a difference between that and trolling.

From my experience, I've found that he's only debated other progressives which where i think the trolling comes in.
I'm fine with walking back my troll comment because I don't mean to offend or silence anyone.
I'm don't think I'm the first person to have this sentiment though.

Jesus, that prediction would be wild. World's gone mad type ****.
Truth!
Basically.
Freaking soap opera. I wonder if she gets elected, then indicted, prosecuted, and right before Obama steps out of office, gets pardon by him?

I 100% agree. I haven't seen any credence to the claim that Rusty is trolling. I figured it was related to something I had missed, but if I haven't missed anything I don't see any trolling coming from Rusty personally.

Rusty debates everyone
Not just in this thread. While most of us here are pro-left, we don't all share the exact same views. Debating is a healthy intellectual exercise.

My bad. i only follow this thread in the lounge. I don't follow a lot of other threads lolRusty debates everyone
Not just in this thread. You see him debating with progressives a lot because most of us here are pro-left. Debating is a healthy intellectual exercise. While most of us here are pro-left, we don't all share the exact same views.
I'm only starting to become familiar with some of the names in this forum.
Sorry for calling you a troll @RustyShackleford

My bad.:\I'm laughing at Rillo comment, not yours. The next page was loaded on my browser when I made my comment
You can relax papi
I thought you took a day off from trolling. You're just behind on the comments.
Still waiting for you to explain how I'm I a troll. But stay rustled in the interim famb
Huffington post pays for people write delusional Bernie Sanders fan fiction?
Someone from the Young Turks probably ghost wrote that.
They have pretty much turned into the Official Sanders slurping channel in the last couple months. They're on Fox News level of delusion right now
So they're the opposite of the regular news channels?
Speaking on both MSN and Independant news,whatever happened to neutral/relatively unbiased news though? Can't remember the last time I watched one of these news sources just present you with the facts on both sides and let you make your own judgement without slanting things a certain way or trying to push you in a particular direction
.S/O to Amy Goodman though

I'm glad our biggest news station here in Belgium isn't overtly biased like US media. They simply report news and never state their own opinions on said news. I don't get the feeling they're doing selective reporting either.
Our 2 news stations both pride themselves on being as unbiased as possible.
The newspapers are a different story though. Most of them are blatantly liberal-biased.

I've enjoyed a lot of their campaign trail stuff so far this election year especially the interviews with different supporters and politicians but yea you're right. For all that Cenk hates about Fox News,he can lowkey act like the Progressive Bill O'Reilly sometimes
. He's a lot less subtle about it than someone like Olbermann too
Yeah this is something I've noticed with most Euro news channels,they seem like they take their journalistic integrity and standards very seriously across the pond. I'm glad that I have a few French ones and Euronews to offer legitimately fair and balanced news. No talking heads just spewing tired rhetoric/talking points

Euronews is the ****. Here, I usually listen to the morning news reports on NPR and Marketplace, and I try to catch the evening news on PBS. They also show the BBC newshour.
There is a book that came out some time ago about the state of the US media. The title is "bad news." I'd recommend it to anyone who wishes to understand why the media has gotten this bad here.
The thing about Europe in general (and France in particular) is that they tend to have very strict laws about libel, defamation and sullying one's reputation. Thus, TV personalities are more careful when it comes to spreading misinformation and unfounded rumors about political figures.

Chris Rock needs to take notes ,Wilmore pulled off what Chris tried at the Oscars.
Dude slow roasted the media on their special night of self congratulation and pats on the back
One of the more underappreciated moments I find was Obama ethering Jake Tapper and CNN :x
