I've pointed it out dozens of times now, but pjmedia sure does get a lot of one-off stories that are radically wild and reported nowhere else... and then even when you do see them reported elsewhere they almost always are citing the PJ media story, which cites actual legitimate sources about as often as CNN does.... That alone should be enough to make anyone take pause.

my point being that there are several other news outlets that are a hell of a lot more consistently reliable than PJ media has been and if a story is true then it will almost certainly be reported on one of them and you will always look more intelligent and less likely to be full of shit if you cite a source that's not a place like PJ media....

So, don't look at the facts, or conclusions, but discount this story based on it's source, and not it's content?

Sounds like some cuck trying to push a narrative.

Apparently you didn't read the second part of what I said...

Otherwise, could you be kind enough to point me to where I said anything specifically about this particular story at all...

Or did I only and specifically bring up and talk about the overall source itself?

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Does that mean you want to go to all your job interviews using a broken clock since every now and then it might get you there on time?

A shit appeal to authority is still shit. If you're going to demonize the use of the publication, at least point out it's lies.

Nat Enquirer was doing real journalism on Edwards when he was cheating on his cancer ridden wife. Everyone discounted them. Just because they showed grainy Loch Ness pictures and alien interviews doesn't mean they weren't right later.

I think I'll judge the story for the facts, than abide by your insistence I avoid it based on source.

Uhhhh... Have you actually looked at their front page? I mean if you're really that lazy I suppose I could just take a screenshot of their front page for you....

it would be a hell of a lot easier to point out the stories they report on that are actually true than the ones that are false... I have a family and a job and not nearly that much time....

This isn't an argument or a point of contention, it's a fucking fact. if a story is true then there are plenty of resources and sources from our side that won't get you completely laughed at every time you try to use it to prove your point...

You sound like a lefty talking about "approved" sources. Like I give a fuck if a bunch of commie worshipping faggots laugh at me?

I read everything you wrote and I think your comment is a textbook ad hominem attack on PJ Media's credibility without providing any objective evidence, or even pointing to a single example.

Surely, if they are as bad as you say, you can remember a story or two where they were forced to retract or reported something that was later proven to be untrue off the top of your head.

The burden of proof is on the accuser.

You come in here, of all places, and recommend we base the veracity of the reporting we read on the news outlet disseminating it? Are you serious?

We need to wait for enough assholes with editorial control to be convinced before we can believe anything?

How about you don't base your opinions on any single thing and let the preponderance of all the evidence before you be your guide?

Go read the filing the article is based upon and make your own conclusions.

Don't farm-out your critical thinking and analysis to anyone, especially not a journalist.

I wouldn't totally discount PJ Media. They at least sourced the court filing here. The part that is unreliable is the information coming from Ukraine on which the filing is based. All info coming from Ukraine is unreliable.

Yeah I didn't say anything about their specific story. as I stated, a broken clock is still correct twice a day does that mean you want to go to all your potential job interviews off a broken clock since every now and then it might actually get you there on time?

my point was if a story is real it will certainly be on other websites that have a hell of a lot better reputation. it's actually worse if you cite a true story on a shity source, because that's just going to make people immediately discredit you.

Why would he could counterfeit? He's got enough criminal buddies still in office that could steal taxpayers money for him

Justice for millionaires. Ordinary Janes and Joes can fuck off and suffocate in taxes.
