Note what happens on a thread.
This is Media Matters 101.
1. Post early that the thread is unwarranted and nutty conspiracy theory.
2. Attack the poster.
3. Coordinate multiple screen names to attack the poster.
Any point in discussing the actual issues?
No. Just devolve the thread as quickly as possible.
Media Matters has a number of tricks. They ‘forum slide’ - posts new threads to get the one below page 1 - where 90%+ of folks actually look.
They flame - personal attacks.
They Nazi-fy threads - post Jewish conspiracy nonsense to derail the thread and keep the ‘normals’ from reading further.
You’ll see all those employed if they really want to kill a discussion.
Can anyone find the actual three planes owned by our perp?
Make / model / tail number / estimate value?
And find out to what purpose he put these planes?
Thanks!
Interesting. I hadn’t noticed the “forum sliding”
Thanks for your work and research. So what if some is off base? That’s how we get answers: look at known facts, make various hypotheses, check more facts, discard theories that dont fit the facts. The MSM sure isn’t doing it! Your theory about someone shorting stock related to the sale price of the MGM is interesting although I still think arms sale gone wrong is a possibility. Anyway, follow the money and gains/ losses in power. Who benefited either in money, politically , or public relations -wise after this event?
