    I’m wary af of this outlet, but kudos to them for flat out saying “falsely accuses” at least.

      I’d say it’s more like he “baselessly accuses” them. Saying your source is social media is about as meaningful as saying your source is your gut.

        He said his source was “a man on TV.”

        Not even social media. He saw “a man” on the “tv” say it, so it must be true. Did he specify what man? No. What TV show? No.

        The moderators had comments from Springfield officials, and he had a nebulous TV man.

        That’s just false, not even baseless.

        The moderators had preemptively contacted the city manager of Springfield, Ohio. That person said it isn’t happening. Do you need more?

            I mean to qualify as “falsely”, which is stronger than “baselessly”. I don’t doubt your position, I’m just appreciating that a media outlet is calling out falsehoods clearly without using softened terms.

    It’s not even an immigrant thing. It’s an Ohio thing. We up here in Michigan knew those lower people were up to no good.

    There is a story of a chick going crazy and smashing a cat’s head in…all the conservatives are touting it as proof of a nationwide epidemic of pet eating.

    These people are weird as hell.

      Trump has never had a pet because he eats them, pass it on.
