but does bias make one a liar? i don't think it nec. does

When presented with the facts, and refusing to print a retraction, that does.

No, misrepresenting the facts and then denying them makes you a delusional liar though.

excuse me? gonna make this personal now? really wanna go there?

i asked a simple question..and misrepresented nothing.

don't be a horse's-ass.

on the substance of what you say,,,(hypothetically) if someone misrepresents something purposefully, then refuses to retract it...how exactly are they delusional? that's nonsense. if you are callin someone a liar, you don't need to overreach by throwing in additional zings that quite frankly, don't make any sense and show your puntitry all too clearly.

then we can call every single media outlet, across the spectrum a liar then. i think it's safe to say that every news service at some time has misreported something and then offered no retraction when facts did not bear them out. there are people on this blog site who think just deleting a piece of made up propoganda makes it AOK...it doesn't. most of the time, the readers that bought the lies never even know the story was later deleted.

i, myself, do try to go back and update or correct stories when i can,,,and remember to do so (i'm not a professional news bureau and don't exactly have the time to devote "full time hours" to my lil articles). if someone calls me on something from the past, i always am open to re-examination. but like everyone else, who is being honest with themselves, i'm not perfect and forget and so forth. but that is better than simply hiding your lies from the world as facts come to light and still try to come off as some mark of integrity, as some do, here and elsewhere.

i must admit too, that lately, due to the forums on here basically fucking up every story i try to edit or change, have made me a lil gun shy to mess with past work, so i tend to use the replies (like i did this morning printing a correction of a charge i made against sen. joe biden).

and the times did seem to retract their story,,,better late than never.

I think he was using the neutral you. Not as you personally, but as in "anyone".

and the times did seem to retract their story,,,better late than never.

When?

Typical NYT bullshit. They stopped being a credible news source years ago and anyone who still thinks they are a trustworthy new outlet is a damn idiot living in a dream world.

The woman murdered a baby, she deserves prison time.

I give them the benefit. They are just deluded. As in they have not tried to find the truth and rely on it for it. A shame really.

I don't give them the benefit of the doubt at all. They have the resources to actually report the truth but instead they make the choice to report half truths and outright lies. They are no better than the National Enquirer in my mind. How many times in the past 5 years have they been shown to be reporting less than truthful stories? They're politically motivated scum.

Actually, as I alluded to earlier, I would not insult the national enquirer that way. At least they are honest about what they are.

Just found it. Thanks. But 5 months is not what I would call late. Catatonic is more like it.

Wasn't aimed at you. Sorry if you thought it was, I just didn't type "one" instead of "you". Calm down. Have a ham sandwich.
