That's not at ALL suspicious in any way....

Wow.
I wonder if Americans even have it in them to see what they've (we've) lost... much less to fight for it all back.

As non partisan as Rex and SpidermanTUba

reminds me of the whole "we use facts in our argument" stuff, and non-progressive facts are biased or from biased sources

Would "not a smidgen of corruption" meet that criteria?
Posted on 8/26/14 at 8:30 pm to Bard
no, misleading would be saying there is corruption.
misleading would be saying that Obamacare is not deficit neutral.
misleading would be pointing out you wont keep your doctor.
In this bizzaro world, facts are misleading. Obama is truth.

Good - please include CNN, MSNBC, ABC News and the occasional FNC as well. Gracias.

Don't you love how every prog laughs off the notion of the concerns when they bring up the fairness doctrine and such for the media? Yet, around every turn they seem to always try to censor speech.

Looks like the only folks looking to censor speech is you guys who apparently want to censor Truthy.
The National Science Foundation gives grants to universities for research. Indiana came up with this research project that is a

web-based system to analyze and visualize the diffusion of information on Twitter. The Truthy system evaluates thousands of tweets an hour to identify new and emerging bursts of activity around memes of various flavors. Building on this foundation we have undertaken several analyses of political communication on Twitter, addressing political polarization and cross-ideological communication, the automated prediction of political affiliation from network and text data, and partisan asymmetries in online political engagement. Members of the Truthy team have successfully applied a custom psycholinguistic sentiment analysis framework to the problem of forecasting key market indicators, technology which now underpins the trading decisions of a $40 million investment fund.
What do you have against the act of acquiring information? Especially when it identifies bots and astroturfing and a slew of crap that's infected the net.

This really wasn't funny the 58 times ago you posted it.

Wow this is ground breaking news. No one has ever done research on Twitter before.

Someone with a blog claiming that something is true doesn't make it a "fact".
