Seriously? "Black Welfare Mothers"? White Opiod OD'ed mothers take the cake.

I’m not feeling the butthurt from reading things I don’t always agree with. In fact I value freedom of speech to the point that I’d fight for their right to say things I would rather not hear. I support the idea people should be free to speak their minds ever if others get their panties in a bunch. 

seems you missed the entire point of the article.   only saw race and not content.  

the woman had 15 children and expected someone else to raise them.  never dawned on her that her children are her responsibility along with the fathers.

why don't you address the drug problem we have instead of posting a racist rant?

I could not agree with more with the authors sentiment. It must be sad for the members of any beloved news site to see their favored forums become fake news sites If People wanted to peruse fake news or out and out propaganda they would go directly to the sources. No reputable websites should ever let themselves become a conduit for fake news, willful misinformation or patented propaganda. If social media does not regulate itself regulation will be imposed upon it. Besides that, any sites that allow themselves to be manipulated by the purveyors of misinformation are not aiding understanding but rather enabling the worst segments of the internet world to manipulate public opinion in plainly harmful ways. Besides that it is a recipe for failure. People vote with their feet or in this case with their fingers. Nobody wants to be manipulated by fake news propagandists. I have been lurking and observing what goes on and it is sad the same olde same olde chronic re-reg multiple account holding trolls ruin another good news site and it will be a shame if they are allowed ot succeed in their evil mission which is to ruin sites they deem liberal or in other words reputable dependable sources of news and information. Short term gains will be eliminated by the long term damage done if what is going on here is allowed to continue much longer. Most People will migrate elsewhere otherwise...

JBB, you have a good point. The number one threat of forums like this these days is the proliferation of people posting false information and then defending it to the "death". The death of the forum? Perhaps, although we are not at that stage yet.

I don't post as much as I used to on NT , to some extent because I have just been watching. We definitely picked up some "conservatives" from NV that I would place in the "unreliable" group when it comes to the quality of their information and the sources they use. It's disappointing, but the owner opened the door to one and all , as they say.  I have had a couple people tell me the new right wingers from NV are among the worst of the worst from over there, and a couple other people tell me that these new  (to NT) conservatives are more in the moderate group as far as NV goes.  I actually don't care either way, but it shows different people see things differently. 

It is harder to maintain interest where you are on a forum with people who wouldnt know a fact or the truth if it bit them in the ass, and even moreso when you have opponents who cannot discuss nuance in the news stories. 

We now have many conservatives who are informed by Fox News , Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and worse. All of these people are varying stages of badly misinformed. 

It's hard to say if NT will "get better" or "get worse". I guess time will tell. 

By the way anyone who can say with a straight face that Trump is a great man has a serious reality deficit. 

You sure you have a big enough tarp for that extra wide brush you are wielding there John?

There fixed it for ya....

You do love your painting don't you....

I would put Rachel Maddow up against Sean Hannity in a fact check contest every day and twice on Sunday.

Well, I must say that your post wasn't exactly what I'd consider a "welcome to NewsTalkers" post for those of us who came from Newsvine.

We now have many conservatives who are informed by Fox News , Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and worse. All of these people are varying stages of badly misinformed. 

NT also has many conservatives who are capable of supporting their positions using extremely reliable, unbiased media sources. I happen to be one of them, so try not to paint conservatives with such a broadly unfocused brush, John.

Great, probably be the greatest comedy pairing in history, especially as both tried to play it straight against each other......

I would suspect hilarious as hell.

And I would like to point out that there are women who sacrificed their lives in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

There are also women who work 12 hours a day to feed, clothe, and house their children because the dead beat dad won't work or pay his child support.

I've known/know a lot of Vietnam era Nurses over the years.    Many saw a lot of seriously messed up shit.

I have nothing but respect for them.  Very brave women.

You're the only person I've ever seen show respect for Vietnam Era nurses

My aunt's mom was a WWII nurse

Mad props!   When i worked in healthcare several of the Nurses on our management team were Vietnam era nurses.   I never knew it until i got tuned up with them once at a management retreat.   They found out i was a Marine and that was it, their stories started flowing hot and heavy.    

I've been close with a couple of them ever since.

I've often thought as bad as combat can be that the people fighting actually had it easier than the people who see the aftermath of that fighting like the Nurses, Docs and casualty affairs people.

Brace, brace, brace ..... it appears the Newsvine mafia is now here in force to make a more concerted effort to turn NT into the sloppy censored mess they made NV into.

Good luck with that internet forum guidos ..... you're going to need it.   You don't have the free reign over here like you had on NV.

Ain't that a bitch!

How about we're fed up and we're not going to take it anymore!

I wonder if that movie is on TCM On Demand......?

Okay but don't pop a brain vein ..... it's not worth that ....

You're assuming I have a brain....

Wouldn't be the first bad assumption i made  

And, that's the truth! 

I just took a look at the forums. I sorted on most recent which puts them in chronological order,  and counted 85 articles posted since the original article the OP is whining about.   85 articles. Including this one. On a plethora of topics. Some with comments numbering upwards of 200-300.

But you're gonna bitch about one article? Because someone said something that hurt your feelings? And that somehow makes this a Right Wing cesspool? Give me a fucking break! 

If you don't like the article or what's being said in it,  exercise your right to ignore and scroll the fuck on by. 

And for the rest of you whining NV refugees.  Unless you are seeding your maximum allotted 5 seeds a day, you got no reason or right to bitch about the seeds that others have. Don't think I haven't noticed who seeds and who just lurks and jumps in for drive bys. You know who you are.

Bruce, the article she is complaining about was only two days old when AJP created this article, and as such I see nothing wrong with her mentioning it in her article. If it had been a week old you would have a better point. 

Well John, you just made my point.  In two days, 85 articles were seeded.  And she, and the rest of the whiners are going to bitch about one article?

And for the rest of you whining NV refugees.

LOL, that's funny right there!  Yeah, I'm one of them, but it's still funny!
