No idea how you got that from what I posted. Guessing you are just deflecting. 

 

"Good fact checkers list past false stories, so you can look it up yourself."

 

Since that doesn't apply here, it must be faith.

But I got bored and looked it up.  Wapo is the 3rd most reliable news source listed by News Guardian.  How ironic considering the misleading headline.

 

"If they apologize for mistakes in the information they passed you, then they can gain some creditability back."

 

We'll be here when you're ready.

If by faith you mean confidence, then sure. You gain confidence in someone or something from past results. Again, how do you determine if someone you are talking to is credible

Well that depends, if you are reporting data, I'd like to see it.  If we're shooting the shit in person, body language and common sense.

It didn't ask about the subject the person will talking about. I ask how you determine if the person is creditable. What is the most important attribute in determining if they are creditable.

Ok, I see where your going.

In order to be credible there must be a history of 'trust' or something to that affect.

The problem you have is Wapo specifically states misinformation. The research they cite relates to credible sources.

If I take everything it says at face value, it's still bullshit.

Example, if I have a V6 engine and you have a V8 engine, does that mean you speed more than me?  That's all Wapo needed.

Do you even know what "creditable" means?

 

1. Deserving of often limited praise or commendation: The student made a creditable effort on the essay.

As often as you've been a loser here, I'll give you credit for being persistent.

That's damn rare around here Steve, why don't you tell the children posting from mommy's basement who think 5th grade insulting memes and schoolyard taunts are really "adult' to grow the f**k up already. It reflects rather poorly on this Forum.

He said creditable, not credible. Two different meanings.

Creditable simply means one deserving credit for something.  His question is stupid.

I posted the definition above.

I'm not sure why you have such a hard time with this. In 2020 GOP candidates shared far less "questionable" sources then the 2022, if that makes you feel better. That by itself show a shift to crazier. Now that Cheetos is re-post qanon, it is only going to get worse. If they ever create a rightwing fact checking site let me know.

You're just jealous because liberals can't meme.

There's some truth to every joke, that's why liberal memes aren't funny.

Nevertheless, a liberal taking the high road in maturity is funny.

It's literally the title of the article and your post.  Why wasn't the title "Republicans use more unreliable sources in 2022"?

Sheeze, and you'd be dead wrong Steve.  Maybe you might remember I finally censured a guy for repeatedly calling me a mother f**king asshole.  So you reinstated him immediately. Go find one instance where I've ever used language like that against another poster. Nut jobs (of which there are many here) deserve to be called out for what they are, living in some alternate reality. 

Maybe you're missing the crap that gets thrown at anyone who doesn't hold to the right wing echo chamber. Let the inmates run the asylum- because you happen to agree with their POV, and turn a blind eye to their grade school antics. You damn well know if this Forum was moderated like the Browns Forum, 1\2 your like  minded right wing posters would be gone for a month at a time until they learned how to act like respectful adults. 

It's little wonder some folks would prefer this shit hole get shut down.

That's why there was only 6 posts on the game day thread last week...no one wants to post there they get belittled and harassed.

Your power trip over being a mod is laughable.  And you keep coming back here, even though you keep saying you won't.  Obviously the little jabs about drinking are really bothering you.  

It's like woody in the swamp thread :D
