4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

He was a confirmed conservative Republican voter,, so right-wibg on any account. And him trying to assassinate the president makes him extreme.
So he is a right wing extremist. Doesn't matter what the media calls him. Fox News calls Trump Mr President when he clearly lost.
this is not how political extremism works?
Who let the hexbear alt on this thread?
Confirmed by whom? Multiple independent and unbiased parties?
This is what arguing in bad faith looks like. If someone replies with sources, you will claim bias. Name a news source you consider to be unbiased.
Every news organization is biased. Unless you hear it from the horse’s mouth, it’s probably speculation. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask a person if they have any proof of this. Most people have no actual way to defend their opinions besides linking to another opinion—this includes me and you.
It’s also pretty unlikely that any real information would be released because of “national security.” Neither party wants people to side with him, because that might encourage copycats.
My guess is that he has no firm political party preference. I’m a registered democrat, but I’m hardly a fan of them. He was wearing a D/R shirt when he got shot. And as I’m sure you know, they are focused on giving power to the people, as opposed to a central government. Assassinating the leader of the central government is pretty on-brand. However, I’m sure the political ideologies of that group have probably shifted since 1820 😅
Do you have multiple independent and unbiased parties confirming the shirt he was wearing?
The logo was on the shirt 🤷♂️
Were you there to see it? I wasn't. We need to make sure we're evaluating information using multiple sources of independent and unbiased information. The image could have been photoshopped.
Do you really think what you’re doing right now is “good faith”?
Absolutely. And that’s why it’s important to view that shirt taken from multiple photographers. Ideally, ones that aren’t associated with a news organization. Additionally, wearing a shirt definitely doesn’t symbolize an association. If I were going to shoot up a Trump rally (I’m not going to) I would definitely be wearing a MAGA shirt—to fit in.
Thank you for agreeing with me.
I don't know, I have yet to see one of these unbiased sources from you.
I think it’s still too soon for trustworthy information on this topic. Hell, people still speculate about the “grassy knoll.”
You've made a lot of guesses about someone we have no trustworthy information about.
I didn’t write an article about it 🤷♂️ my comments are opinions and observations. I suggest we keep an open mind about a hot topic.
Neither did the guy you're replying to. But their opinions and observations are based on information they've received from news sources, whereas yours are apparently made up out of thin air based on nothing seeing as you don't trust any news source.
How do you even know an assassination attempt even happened? Unless you were there you are only hearing about it from biased news sources.
I guess you’re right. It never happened. Not sure I believe that, but you do you.
Well the news is all biased, so I haven't seen a credible, unbiased source reporting on it.
We probably won’t ever. The government is going to shush this thing like Tiananmen Square.
How can they shush a thing that didn't happen?
Exactly. Shhh. It neeeeevvver happened wink wink.
Okay, so go do some research on your own and get back to us.
Why? I don’t care what you think.
So you won't accept the research done by others and won't do it on your own.
I don’t really think it would be appropriate to find out who his friends were and call them up asking for an interview. I really don’t care that much, and that would be kinda creepy.
You don't care that much. Yet you'll spend excess time and effort arguing about your perception of bad journalism. Let's sum this up:
Right then.
I’m not pulling anyone into anything. You control you.
