    Wow. You found the confirmational bais you were looking for. Good job. Would you like for me to tell you what all is wrong with that piece? He blatantly misrepresents what the lead stories were in all three instances of the NTY, WaPo, and the WSJ. Then he make a patently false statement in his...

    Taking an online journalism course will solve that for you. Not in a story that's NOT about the officer-involved shooting. The "incident" is the backstory. I get it. You're just ever so angry that there's a double standard in the press when it comes to race-related shootings. This double...

    The reason for that particular sign (and the dinosaur) is that the facility is a dual generating station using twin nuclear reactors (Westinghouse pressurized water reactors - Units 3 and 4), as well as three fossil units (two 400-megawatt oil/natural gas generation units - Units 1 and 2, and...

    As that situation is currently a newsworthy problem, you're probably right. Probably not, as it's not particularly newsworthy. Nevertheless, thinking that because this particular article didn't mention the race of the cop until well down into the backstory section of the piece is somehow...

    Forum Tip New Feature - Quoting

    The main thing I wanted was the mini avatar on the quoted tag header. Without that, nested quotes could be very confusing to follow along with in a conversation. I think it looks pretty neat.

    No, the back story would not have been mentioned at the beginning of the article, regardless of who did the shooting two days earlier. The story wasn't about that shooting, it was about the shooting of a man during the unrest. Only after the telling of that story should the back story be given...

    That's because it's spam. We do not allow advertising or solicitations for business in the forums, especially from new users who sign up expressly for the purpose of doing that very thing. We have a free classifieds section on the site for that, or you can buy ad space on the site.

    Nothing wrong with that, as that particular bit of information is backstory to the main story, that of a man who was shot in the second night of the rioting in an apparent civilian-on-civilian shooting. The race of the cop who shot Kieth Scott really doesn't matter, though. That issue is the...

    There are lots of things wrong with how the article is written. While mostly complete, and containing the Five Ws along with the proper local and national context, it is a very disjointed article. It reads like every paragraph was written on a playing card, the deck cut, then shuffled, and then...

    Forum Tip New Feature - Quoting

    Whenever you quote someone, instead of the quoted tag header simply saying "Bubba said:" it'll have Bubba's mini avatar next to his name. That makes it a little easier to see who was quoted. Also, we now have automatic Nested Quotes. Normally when you quote someone who also quoted someone in...

    The Trump Card...

    No one disputes that he said those things. What is disputed is whether or not he used the word "racial" in his comments. You, CNN, and a several other media outlets claim he did, yet you, CNN and several other media outlets have failed to prove the claim.

    The Trump Card...

    The problem is, he's correct and you're wrong, because Trump never said it. "Clearly suggesting" and actually "saying" are two very different things. Saying that we need to "profile" is very different from saying we need to "racially profile." "Blood coming out of her wherever" is not even...

    This is the best one I've seen thus far. It's kinda mean, so I feel bad every time I laugh.

    My thoughts at large

    Because 2-3 weeks after the expiration date, if you notice dark mold on its surface, bright bacterial marks, pockets of watery liquid and a sharp, bitter flavor, it's time to toss it. If you see mold on the inside of the lid and/or in the product - it's time to throw out the entire container, or...
