    I was wondering why there was a Bill Maher tag.

    The JV?

    Not to beat a dead horse, but I actually agree with you.

    It just seems weird and desperate to keep using this example, which was right, to lecture about the dangers of single-source reporting.

    Yep. The JV accomplished more than the varsity.

    ISIS was related to 54 US deaths in 2016, the NRA was related to 11,000 US deaths in 2016. On that basis, ISIS is indeed the JV.

    What they do in the Mid East Conference may be varsity, but not here.

    Let's be clear. Reuters didn't write a story based on info form a single, trusted source.

    This is the entire sum of their reporting on this, a tweet, simply passing along what the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights -- a one man organization, based in the U.K. -- was saying:

    JUST IN: Syrian warplanes take off from air base hit by U.S., carry out strikes in Homs countryside - Syrian observatory for human rights


    That's not responsible.

    Especially considering our history Ahmed Chalabi, and the Iraqi National Congress, we know that their are organizations with their own agenda who want to influence us, and have us take action on their behalf.

    Fuck, Ferdinand Magellan was killed in 1521 in this exact scenario.

    And, for those supporting the Reuters tweet, how would you have felt if Reuters had tweeted out:

    JUST IN: Susan Rice ordered unmasking of Trump associates mentioned in intelligence briefings, despite previous denials - Michael Cernovich

    Would you defend such a tweet, because Cernovich turned out to be right?

    11000 GUN deaths, not just deaths. NRA is a terror organization that accepts gun violence as the cost of promoting and pushing its agenda as ISIS accepts deaths in the cause of promoting its religious objectives.
