Reply #1: I don't believe this is LBN. [View All]

This is a Fox opinion (i.e. 'hit') piece. I would personally never quote FOX in LBN...ever. Be that as it may, there is no 'news' content to this article.

Now, much of what your comments say may be true (or may not), but your comments themselves demonstrate that even you don't believe this is 'news'. So, my question is, why do you pick LBN to post this? Why do you want to lend credibility to an article and then tear it down as propaganda? It seems to me there is some sort of disconnect in your rationale. While you clearly have something to discuss and an opinion to give, the only reason I can imagine for posting this in LBN is that you want to make the OP seem more 'newsworthy' in order to amplify your rebuttal (you hope). The whole idea is full of double-speak and obfuscation. Either Fox is making this narrative up (as you suggest) and this therefore is NOT LBN, or the story is truly news but you want to point out that you believe this "news" to be false, even though you post it in LBN. There's a lot of cognitive dissonance here.

My only assertion is that I would like LBN to contain real news. As such, I don't believe FOX should be quoted as the only source in any post and, if I believe that it's a hit piece and opinion, as you clearly do from your comments, I would never post this in LBN. It belies the credibility of your comments (rebuttal) when you do so.

If you agree, would you kindly move this to the Discussion Forum to carry on your debate in a more reasonable fashion? Thanks for your consideration.

Peace
