Way back in high school we learned to determine facts from opinion in news. Words like may, might, possibly, apparently, maybe, I think, and appear to are not facts. Omitting parts of speeches or paraphrasing are not facts. Editing video to leave out or change the order of events is not presenting facts. The sad part is I see things like this across the board on TV. It’s harder to parse if things are omitted because I’m skeptical of even reputable journalists. Exactly. The trouble these days is that it's awfully hard to do that and it often involves a great deal of time, which many people won't spend. The facts also change based on who is being reported on.

I have only one thing to say since I didn’t make it past your first sentence. Anytime you add “tard” to the end of the word to imply some sort of insult, you’re in fact implying that mental impairment is some sort of an insult. In fact, as the aunt of a fine young man with Down Syndrome I take offense to this. Well, maybe you should have made it past the first sentence, after all. Sarah*H wasn’t calling anyone names. She was was referring to how some right-wingers address liberals, Democrats ... well, Trump haters of any stripe. Please don’t jump to such a conclusion without actually reading the post. Actually no, I’m not going to read past “libtard” or any other “tard” word because it is never justified.

She’s using it in the same context you are, with disdain for those who use it.

And in this case, since it's my post, I'll defend myself and say that you are wrong. I used it as an example of the ugly words that are constantly used to mock liberals by the same time of people who will eat up Lara Logan's disingenuous interview.

Appropriate response = realize and acknowledge you jumped to a wrong conclusion by not actually reading. We all make mistakes sometimes. Not a big deal. Just move on instead of digging in.
