There's your solution right there, dig to find the truth on your own. It's not nearly as easy as it should be, since we are constantly bombarded on all sides with twists and distortions of the truth. Confirming something from two difference sources generally makes something a confident fact...

ALL of them? No. There are carriers that use outside transport on a very limited basis, and they're very picky about who they choose. Generally, you'll need to become a partner carrier for most of those carriers. You call them, create and set up a relationship, often papers will need to be...

I had wondered if I would have to wait as long for an answer to this question as I've had to wait for that other question from another thread, but I didn't want to drag something from another thread into this one to muddle things up, so I deleted that particular paragraph of wonderment. Just...

Nothing gets by you, does it? <snort> The reason that it's not factual is because I didn't imply that at all. I'll concede that you may have inferred as much, but I implied, and implicitly stated outright that they all lie, that a lie is a lie is a lie, and the level of egregiousness is...

Who said she couldn't pay for her phone? The article certainly didn't. All the article said regarding her phone was that her parents agreed to pay for it. In addition to going to school, the girl is working two jobs, so it's conceivable that she could pay for her own cell phone. They also...

The implication being that's what happened in this case. But the agreement was a result of an out-of-court agreement, not a court order. Kinda "Fox Newsed" that one a little bit, huh. :D The attorney has nothing to do with making that life happen. All he did was protect the mother's right to...

Or anywhere west of Elizabethtown on the Parkway until you get past Central City towards Mortons Gap. You get a cell signal, but no data. It sucks. In Murray, where there is a university, we still don't have 4G in town. But that's why the Walmarts in Murray, Benton, Mayfield are all AT&T phones...

New from The Slippery Slope Slip 'N Slide Waterboarding Lego Set.

It's ridiculous, I'll give you that, but it's hardly in the same league as the legitimate rape comments. It is, however, in the same ridiculous league as the North Carolina Republican who wants to criminalize "nip slips," stating that if there is a chance of a nip slip, women should wear pasties...

Oh, I dunno. One great big lie or a hundred little ones, what's the difference? Fox News rarely has any whoopers (although the burning streets of Russia that never happened comes close), but rather (pun intended) they tend to constantly slip through little lies and twists of the truth, more...

Some phones operate off AT&T towers, some off Verizon, some off Sprint. It all depends on the location of the Walmart where you buy it, or, of your home Zip Code. Where I live, for example, Walmart phones are all AT&T. If I go half an hour south to Paris, TN, the phones at the Walmart there are...

Now you know why I put this in The Soapbox instead of the Loading Dock. :D I got one of these to play with while parked at the PilotFlyingJ. I named mine "Spirit of ConstiFreedom." It's now flown four freedom fighting, Constitutional-protecting sorties to other truck stops and one sortie to...

It's far more complicated to run for multiple carriers with a straight truck. With a CMV you must have a DOT number and operating authority. Can you imagine, for example, having to change your DOT number for every carrier you run for? A far better way to do that is to become a motor carrier...

Yes, I said fact. You can wow all you want, but as I stated quite plainly for anyone with even the most basic level of reading comprehension to understand, the comments section was not my sole source, it was just one of them. The fact was independently confirmed from 3 different sources. It only...

A woman on a pole... in Daytona Beach. Is that really news? :D

The same place the original story came from, a blog posting (The Daily Caller, which picked up the story from a rather short blub on another Blog, Fox Nation), with additional information from Inside Higher Ed. The original story is basically a he-said/she-said third party reporting of mostly...

I never disagreed with that contention. In fact, that was the primary purpose of my post about the polling results... that none of them can be trusted, because they all cater in a blatantly biased manner to their blatantly biased audience. Republicans only trust Fox news as their news source...

Yes, it could. There are also countless other "ifs" we could discuss, if you like. For example, if the lie was told privately to just one individual, then it could still so harm and it would constitute libel.

That's also a logical fallacy. Discrediting what was said based on, or attempting to, discredit who said it. The poster may be biased or unbiased, but it has makes no difference on whether or not her statements are true.

Because you can make excuses for everything they do and see nothing inherently wrong with what they do. Excellent example. Thank you. You've spun, in fine professional fashion, "intentional distortions and lies" into "sometimes sloppy editing". Well done! The fact that they are better or worse...
