The usual suspects posting the usual partisan crap. Maybe later on today....but I doubt it.

I've been critiquing news articles long before the "fake news" phenomenon was dreamed up.  I don't trust 90% of what I read online but not because the news is fake. Most often, it's distorted, seeks to misinform, confuse and misdirect, is missing facts, is full of exaggerations or just plain out...

Is it only me?

I'm getting real fed up with the forum...for technical reasons, not CoC crap, that's for other people. I'm talking about slow servers and shitty JavaScript text codes that are making posting, a massive annoyance.1) Yellow screen - Every time I want to post, I have to wait for the text screen to...
