A legit journalist who complains about the framing of the use of military force, then takes his framing from Breitbart. He then goes on to misrepresent a poll to say that it shows that Americans are backing Trump’s handling of the protests when the poll says only 32% support the way he’s handling the issue.
This legit journalist had your boy JFJ so confused (I know) he was convinced that there were two different polls because Pool didn’t mention that whole lack of support issue.
Maybe we have different standards as to what makes someone a legit journalist. I’ve seen reference to this guy a few times but if this is representative of what his work, it certainly doesn’t cut it for me. - Canada Cup

Thanks for that. I had only heard him mentioned here a few times. I’m going to have to assume that the rest of his stuff is more honest than what I watched because he really distorted and selectively used that poll to support what seemed to be his ore-existing views. The fact that he pulled the main part of his framing straight from Breitbart didn’t improve his credibility much for me either. If there’s other stuff worth seeing let me know.

A frequent criticism of Tim Pool is that he purports to be "on the left" (and I think, for the most part, he is) but focuses most of his criticism on the left. Granted, he's addressed this imbalance before, but sometimes it gets to be a bit much.
As with all journalists, I think he has some good stuff and not so hot stuff. Which is to say, I like to cherry-pick the stuff that fits my confirmation bias the best.

Luckily I’m a well known bumhole so you can pretty much ignore what I said. If that doesn’t cut it, virtual hugs. - Canada Cup
Haha... my resume speaks for itself per occasional bumholery. It's all good!
I mean, alleged affiliation to JFJ should probably be a bannable offence, but since there's no referees around these here parts, I'll take that virtual hug, thanks!

All that for a sad photo op. He looked like an idiot. He's just trying to pander to regligious folk, who for some reason think HE is a great Christian president.
That photo OP won't bring you additoonal votes from seniors, minorities, educated people.
It's over Fat Donald.

I'll never understand religious people at all.
But something that truly baffles me is how evangelicals can actually think that God sent Trump to be their president.

Like, what?!?!?! - Atomic Wedgie
Evangelicals will believe anything as long as it suits their warped view of reality. Trump has done a great job fabricating his Christianity. And by "great", I mean, it's terribly obvious to anyone with a half a brain that he isn't religious but evangelicals don't typically have a brain, so....
