Adam LaRoche and his son

Thank you.

 

Thanks. And I am sorry for dropping that on you in response to your post. It was a dick move, and wasn't fair to you.

 

AWWWW! What a cutie.

 

You guys are really just mainlining coffee into her, right?

Congrats to you and the misses. Fiona get through this with flying colors.

 

A litigator should know how to find the truth. When available evidence is approached with bias, that impairs the search for the truth. When someone approaches a given subject with the same biases every time, that person's analysis cannot be trusted. This isn't a trial and the role we are playing isn't that of attorneys. It is more like a many-sided debate, and in that scenario, bias is absolutely a factor.

Your analogy doesn't fit the situation, counselor. Try again if you like, but bias always matters.

 

By all means, ask him. Until then, you are just talking out of your ass again.

 

See that part in bold? That's the most truth you've posted on this thread.

 

And you still haven't told me how.

YF has presented an argument: "Bob Nightengale's reporting was shoddy."

That argument is either right or its wrong. (Or something in between.)

Whether it is right or wrong is dependent on the merits of the argument, including facts offered in support.

YF's bias certainly may make it more likely that he would argue that Bob Nightengale's reporting was shoddy, but "bias" is not an argument against the assertion. The assertion stands or falls on its own.

Now, I understand that you may not trust his representation of the facts because of his bias, and want to investigate further. But, again, your response is that the facts are wrong. The response isn't that the presenter is biased. That is utterly irrelevant.

 

Because he thinks it is cute to refer to the guy by his first name over and over again.

 

As usual, excellent work by John.

 

I skipped over a few pages, but just saw this bit. I'm also very sorry to hear your little one is having some health problems. Best wishes to you and your family getting her through it. As a father of a daughter, I get exactly how that might feel.
