If there was a Gofundme campaign to support Dominion's lawsuit against Fox, that could be a win, win. There will be a lot of on air publicity and darts will be thrown at Faux by rest of the media besides the negative publicity which Faux so richly deserves. Otherwise financial pressure my entice them to settle since they are also a Canadian company (believe they are private) with no direct political skin in the game.

This isn’t just misinformation — this is information that is designed to radicalize.

Whell, of course, believes every word.
Chiclets, of course, has ignored my posts where I've stated the opposite.

You started the usual flame throwing by claiming that IRS is now recruiting new agents and one of the requirements is their willingness to use deadly force.

Both finn and DQ separately have refuted your 'fake news'.

Guilty until proven innocent.

^^^The above is a vital report. Everyone should view it. The rapid success of the hate-aggregation sites is staggering. The implications are far-reaching.

I did NOTHING REMOTELY LIKE THAT! In fact, please, point me to the post where I stated that.

The only thing I did was point out that the IRS'S original job posted stated it, then the IRS changed it. PERIOD.

I repeat, you did exactly that since it fits your political attack posturing, which is flame throwing with total disregard to the truth. I was not even following this news item, but saw finn repeatedly try and refute you. So I did a search as you should have, but the misinformation you spread here fit your agenda.

Quote:
CLAIM: An online job ad shows that all new employees that the IRS intends to hire after a funding boost in the Inflation Reduction Act will be required to carry a firearm and use deadly force if necessary.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. A legitimate job ad for special agents within the small law enforcement division of the IRS that works on criminal investigations is being misrepresented online, officials and experts say. The job description does not apply to most potential new employees that the IRS will hire in the coming years. The vast majority of IRS workers are not armed.

THE FACTS: After Senate Democrats this month passed a $740 billion economic package, which includes nearly $80 billion for the IRS, social media users shared the false claim that all new employees in the agency will be required to carry guns.

Many posts in recent days shared a screenshot that features the IRS logo and the text, “Major Duties.” The listed duties on the image include being able to “carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.” Social media users claimed that the image was a job ad for thousands of new IRS employees that will be hired as a result of the bill, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act.

.................................................. ............................................


These social media users are falsely depicting a legitimate job ad for a special agent with IRS Criminal Investigation — the agency’s law enforcement division — as a generic ad for all new positions.
Perhaps you should be posting this on False Social and they will hail you as a hero, whereas here, you are an embarrassment to edumicated people.

Nothing to do with party affiliation, but an intelligent person (which you seem to be) should possess the common sense to sniff out the outright lies.

So let me ask you this, did Trump win or lose the 2020 election to President Biden?

Enough coy games, whell. The times demand you either stand up for democracy, or stand unworthy to be an American citizen. So answer the question, did Biden legitimately win the 2020 election? Change nothing, say yes or no to the question as asked.
