I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I believe there were many investigations into that incident.

They're talking about the dude who got killed in Libya.

I think that is a photo of people trying to save him.  The man was not raped or tortured.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The one who died of smoke inhalation when the State Department outpost was burned.  Sean Smith died the same way.

Well the John Kerry's daughter one caught my eye, so I googled it.  It's mostly false.  Vanessa Kerry did marry Dr. Brian Nahed, who is of Iranian heritage.  But he was born and raised in the US...

News people know each other. But I am just going to go out on a limb and guess none of that is actually true.

But even if it was, only old people watch the news anyway and I suspect Trump is winning with those demographics. So not to worry crazy conspiracy folks.

Well the next couple I googled (whom is married to whom) were true, so I don't really doubt the list.

And you know, it's not like more traditional conservatives haven't complained that there is a left-wing bias among the media, and that certainly extends to people moving inbetween the worlds of government and media.

But "bias" is still a long way from "fake news".  Just because the media is likely harder on a GOP President than they are on a Democrat President doesn't mean they just start making stuff up!

Or I was going to say it is true but is misleading. Like there are hundreds of people at that company and they just found a few who happened to have relationships with media people who were tied to Democratic administrations. Therefore CONSPIRACY!!!11 Which is how it usually goes. The information is completely false or true but being presented in a way that still misinforms.

I also don't see what George Soros or Mullahs have to do with with media entities. Nice to see that you can hate and be paranoid of both Jews and Muslims. It is more inclusive.

Yeah, I really need to stop sending those.
