Pro-Obama bias? What pro-Obama bias?

Posts : 6988

It’s certainly a good thing that there is no pro-Obama media bias, because otherwise an article such as this might be construed as a fawning piece of bilge, written by an idiot, and directed at an audience full of idiots who would gladly sit there with their mouths agape and their heads nodding in agreement as they read it.
(Caution: Do not read with a full stomach.)

You might want to let people know that it's a parody from "The Onion".

I'm frankly not surprised that it took a web search for you to figure that out. As far as other people, I kind of assumed that they'd figure it out on their own.

I knew immediately it was from the Onion. I only got the link in order to warn others

Of course you did, Artie, of course you did. You are a regular Paul-freakin'-Revere, aren't you?

You post a parody as if it was a news article without a link. I point it out,and I'm somehow the bad guy? Rolling Eyes

Trust me on this one, Artie.
99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the people who read that article realized that it was a parody within the first few sentences.
The other .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the people (which, at this point is, basically, just you) needed some help to figure it out.
Hence, your fact-finding web search.
But smile, dude, smile!
You provided a great service by enlightening those who (when they were not too preoccupied with their drool cups) really hadn't quite caught on to the irony.

Food for thought.....If you had done the right thing and posted it with a link we wouldn't even be having this exchange.

Au contraire - if you hadn't been gullible enough to believe that it was a legitimate article, we wouldn't be having this exchange.

jack, you're SO transparent.

You know that the reason you left the link out was so that you could nail one the libs here for being gullible.

Gee, it's a shame it didn't work.

Artie called you on it & now your pathetic attempts at trying to mock Arnie are so lame, you should really be ashamed.

Let me explain something to you - exposing a liberal as being gullible is like fishing with dynamite. There is no sport to it, no challenge, and I have better things to do. Liberals do a fine job of making asses of themselves without my help.

Yeah right.
So jack, did you enjoy Frank Rich last Sunday?

The subject is: Republicans "making asses of themselves."

Yeah, well as I pointed out to Jack back on another site, at another time, the Onion has a very restrictive policy regarding the use of its material...

Quote :: The content of this web-site—graphics, text and other elements—is Copyright 2009 by Onion, Inc., and may not be reprinted or retransmitted in whole or in part without the expressed written consent of the publisher.

I understand that Jack thought it was funny, but that doesn't give him or anybody else the right to steal copyrighted material from another website. There is nothing in their policy that permits reposting for any purpose, commercial or otherwise. Copyright holders have an absolute right to place restrictions on how their stuff is used, and we should all respect that.

I didn't do any of those things, I put up a frickin' link. Are you honestly saying that you can't differentiate between the posting of copyrighted content, without attribution no less, and posting a link to a website where the content resides? C'mon Jack, I thought you were smarter than that, but perhaps I've given you too much credit.

If you had any copyrighted material of your own , then I don't think that we'd need to have this conversation.

I thought I would lighten things up a bit.
