Conservative writer Stephen Miller noted how the
AP is now a sponsored fact checker on Facebook now. But this is cool.
Problem with media credibility isn't what AP did. It's other journalists who just whistle on by when they see what AP did. AP tweeted out a blatant falsehood, most likely on purpose. Where are you firefighting factcheckers, Miller added in two subsequent tweets.

I think its time we moved on from “fake news” to just calling them liars.
To: Joe Bfstplk
What are reliable news sources? I need a list.It really depends on the story. All news is suspect, because all news is written by people.
It has always been that way. But now we have the ability to cross-check and verify almost instantly many of the "news" stories.
And now we can call them out instantly, too.

Ah. It is a fascinating question. I think calling our Creator by the generic “God” is innocuous.
I will never call Him “Allah,” since that’s so associated with Islam, which is a God-dishonoring religion/political philosophy.
But it’s great that we have so many name options before us, to help us wrestle with our Lord’s breadth of character.

This is progress. They would have never acknowledged their error 6 months ago. Winning!

Funny, on ABC news radio they said ‘he said “God is Great” in Arabic’. It was a strange way of wording out - like ABC didn't want to actually say “Allahu Ackbar”.
To: Martin Tell
They don’t have to say it was in Arabic. We all know what the evil words mean.

Just saw on twitter how one of the victims killed by this Jihadist was an Antifa member who hated white people..gotta love irony
To: Sam Gamgee
This isn't new. They did the same damn thing when that Russian ambassador was killed a few months ago in Turkey.
The live translation was "God is the greatest, do not forget Aleppo". But you can HEAR the assassin yell allahu akhbar.
Over and over.
Written reports also contained this "oversight", helpfully translating it to "god is the greatest".
Riiiight.

I think calling our Creator by the generic God is innocuous.>/i> In a sense it is generic. The word comes from "Goot" in German meaning "Good" or used to mean "all Good" or "the Good". There have been so many names and so many ways to offend.
