Wrong again. Freepers have long held sources like CNN as not credible, numerous other sources as well.

You want to defend sources like the LSM, good luck with that, your ignorance is showing.

Take your weak attempts at sophistry elsewhere, if the sources he listed were anything close to respectable Free Republic would not exist. I do not have to discredited what has already been discredited. You like those sources, you show how they are credible.

Also you ignored what I did offer, please explain how most the media now accepts Ukraine will likely lose after years of the same media emphatically stating Russia was loosing. That sound credible to you?

And let’s just ignore all the covid lies the same media you are defending pushed into the public, yaa credible.

Now tell us all why we should believe what sources such as CNN broadcasts, many of us are waiting... LOL

“Wrong again. Freepers have long held sources like CNN as not credible, numerous other sources as well. You want to defend sources like the LSM, good luck with that, your ignorance is showing.”

Nice try, kid.

The way to rebut is to present evidence to challenge or contest or impugn his evidence; just screeching that his evidence is not credible without presenting evidence of your own to show that, is just grade-school stuff.

“Take your weak attempts at sophistry elsewhere, if the sources he listed were anything close to respectable Free Republic would not exist.”

Sophistry? You use the word; but you don’t know what it means. Tell me how and why my comment was fallacious.

“I do not have to discredited (sic) what has already been discredited. You like those sources, you show how they are credible.”

Again, you assume facts not in evidence, jump to conclusions, and rush to judgment. The source is immaterial; it’s what the source SAID that is (material). The way to refute what the source said, is to present a cogent and unemotional argument against it. Your “just because” negation is childish and reflects the weakness of your response.

“Also you ignored what I did offer, please explain how most the media now accepts Ukraine will likely lose after years of the same media emphatically stating Russia was loosing. That sound credible to you?”

Hyperbole! “...most the media” haven’t “emphatically” stated that Russia was losing; on the contrary, most of the media have said Ukraine had little chance of winning unless it received massive aid and support from outside.

“And let’s just ignore all the covid lies the same media you are defending pushed into the public, yaa credible.”

Again, you assume facts not in evidence, jump to conclusions, and rush to judgment. I am neither defending nor condemning any media, as media have inherent biases unless reporting the weather or sports scores.

“Now tell us all why we should believe what sources such as CNN broadcasts, many of us are waiting... LOL.”

See my comment above.

Now, where is your evidence refuting Timber Rattler’s argument?
