As expected, these links say nothing about Solomon being fired. But thanks anyway,

The question is and always was whether your source was full of shit, Mike. John Soloman is absolutely full of shit as is the Washington 'Moonie' Times. Get ahold of yourself, dude.

I havent commented on his writing once in this thread, or any other as far as I can recall. My question was, and still is, to Finn: can he provide a source for his claim that Solomon was fired from the Hill. I get lots of noise and BS accusations from you all in multiple posts now, but still no source.

Didn't realize a simple request to source a claim would flummox you all so much.

Do we know any other Flat-Earthers hereabouts?

The Trump Hotel turns blue
The hotel that for six years held Donald Trump’s name is now a favorite place for the Democratic elite.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/1...-blue-00132122

Quote:
Until last year, the lavish hotel was part of former President Donald Trump’s real-estate empire. No Democratic official would dare step foot inside. But as the hotel struggled to make money after Trump left office, the former president sold his lease on the Old Post Office Building and the hotel was rebranded as a Waldorf Astoria. Now, spending time there has become a way for the Democratic elite to stick it to the former president.
Gotta love it!

Yeah, left-wing WaPo and NY Times certainly kept you and yours spun up for years.



Yeah, I'd call your posts bullshit too. Finally, we agree on something.

Check it out, Finnster. Lots of media outlets have reported on Biden's "work" with Burisma. Solomon didn't have an exclusive on the story. Biden receiving payment from Burisma isn't a "conspiracy". No one is denying it happened.

Not the type of self-criticism I was referring to. As I said earlier, there's no criticism of the lefty bias. In fact, the author said he thought that was a good thing.

My remarks above harken back to something you said in an earlier post:

What's truly ironic is that conservatives demand absolutely true, unbiased reporting with zero mistakes from mainstream outlets (that they mostly don't read anyway), while simultaneously demanding that conservative outlets comfort them with a security blanket of lies (as clearly shown by discovery in the Dominion case). Whassup with that, Mr. Fake News?

I think everyone should demand unbiased reporting. Zero mistakes are an aspiration, but mistakes do happen.

But then you state: while simultaneously demanding that conservative outlets comfort them with a security blanket of lies.

This brings us back to the question you refuse to answer. You want to criticize "conservative outlets" for doing the exact same things that left-wing media outlets do. You've just described, for example, what MSNBC does for lefties 24-7. But you don't seem to want to talk about that.

Figures.

You simply do not grasp the difference between bias and outright, deliberate lies. One would think that the Dominion and Giuliani lawsuits would have opened your eyes. I am tired of this pointless argument. You believe and defend liars, I don't. It's as simple as that.

Oh, I think I do. What I also grasp is your willingness to tolerate the crap produced by left-wing sources while highlighting it from sources on the right.

You're this board's most loyal defender of all things Trump, the most prodigious and unrepentant liar in American political history. Yet you claim to be discriminating consumer of news while at the same time parroting his (and his captive media's) lies. LOL.

No, but that's the narrative you think you need to support your chosen debate style. So, whatever works for you, Finnster.
