Stupid media.

Don't they know how to play the game?

Before making a defamatory statement preface it with the word "alleged."

That usually seems to work, but the times, they are a changin'.

So, you think that national media should be permitted to report on private citizens who have not actually been found guilty of anything and put any spin on it that they want to, or do you not believe that?

Sure

A time capsule estimated to be more than 130 years old, unearthed from the base of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, was opened Wednesday in Richmond, Virginia, and the artifacts showed a snapshot of life in the Confederate capital.

The time capsule was found by construction crews in early December. Crews taking apart the removed statue's base came across an area that looked "different," according to a release from Northam's office, and chiseled out a section of the 2,000-pound granite block to reveal it.

The capsule is estimated by experts to date back to 1887. According to the governor's office, records show that, "37 Richmond residents, organizations, and businesses contributed about 60 objects to the capsule, many of which are believed to be related to the Confederacy.

Yeah, and if you weren't arguing it just because you don't favor this one guy, you might have some idea what a terrible precedent that would set as the media could attack private citizens with an eye towards ruining their lives.

Amazing to see Donny causally admit he lost.

He forgot that he was supposed to pretend to believe he won for a second.

Maybe's he's greasing the path to claiming he never actually claimed he won, now that the Jan 6 committee is processing more and more info.

Lies on lies.

It would all be completely ridiculous, if we were talking about the actions of a child.
