You are a known LIAR. I can’t believe YOU of all people getting exercised over this.
NY Times Lies! Dog Bites Man! Bears Crap in Woods!
You mean a media source was publishing titillating/false information to keep eyeballs engaged to view advertising?
I’ve never heard of such a thing.
Democrats just trying to cover their asses because they
are beginning to realize how bad they look and sound to
the American public. After all elections are just
around the corner.
Yeah, right?
I was just getting up to get another cup a coffee when I saw this and nearly snapped my neck doing a double take.
