    I don't know anything about AON but if it reported the straight news, with no liberal bias, the mainstream media and Wikipedia would describe it as being right-wing. They consider anything to the right of the liberal mainstream media to be right-wing. They're not even joking when they do that either. They truly consider themselves to be unbiased, and anyone who doesn't believe their lies to be unreasonable.

    When you read the Wikipedia page information for OAN, that is exactly what they do, @Ken Anderson ! And accuse it of spreading conspiracy theories and fake news as well.

    I use Wikipedia a lot and, more often then not, they have great information, and far more timely than any other encyclopedic resource. On politically sensitive issues, however, they consider the liberal point of view to be neutral, and will not allow another. I think the people at the top at Wikipedia really try to provide unbiased information but they are so indoctrinated in this crap that they don't recognize their own bias.

    What are you looking for? All this off shore stuff and liberal bias is nonsense.
    I think people are looking for someone to report the news as they believe it to be.
    The world is as it is and going to get more so. Liberals have not taken over ythe world
    or the news, the world has changed. The reporting is still true.. We can't go back to
    the world we wanted, it doesn't exist anymore. It is going to keep on changing. We're
    the last of the mohegans. The news is not biased, we're merely not hearing what we
    want to hear. I know. We don't believe it. We've got proof. Nonsense. We're out of touch.

    That's funny, because the only reason you think it's unbiased is because they are reporting the news as you believe it to be.

    No I disagree. I think republicans feel so besieged because your world is changing.
    You're bewildered, so much is happening. You don't know who to believe. Your
    white world is turning brown. You can't win a war anymore. Diversity is all around
    you and you can't handle it. Illegals, everywhere; aliens, aliens, aliens. Everything
    you knew is out. Apple don't hire blond, blue eyed employees anymore. They hire
    foreigners, illegals. Why? They're smarter, not stuck in the past. Even China is
    saying America is the world's enemy. Shame on you republicans. You're beginning
    to sound like China. Or something like that.

    I understand that unsubstantiated and outright ridiculous allegations of racism are pretty much the only thing that leftists have going for them, other than an allied media, Bill, but that doesn't make it any less unsubstantiated or ridiculous.

    All I'm saying is republican party is sick;
    the democrats if not healthy, all they need
    is some leadership. Trump will be
    re-elected, but will not do anything that can
    not be corrected and made right when he is
    gone. And mickey mouse, we're all a little
    bit racist. And that chart, I don't understand
    it at all.

    What about the Debkafile news ? It is an independent news site that was started by journalists in June of 2000, and seems to be pretty much aware of what is going on worldwide.
    From what I have read, they have both a website and a YouTube account, and present what they term as “Strategic Analysis” of news events.
    They have both an English and a Hebrew website, and seem to only look at what is happening with terrorist organizations, and other world events., but don’t get involved in politics.
    Here is part of the “about” definition from their website:

    DEBKAfile offers two sites, English and Hebrew, whose content is tailored for relevance to its respective readers. Together, they have a regular audience of millions in 220 countries. DEBKAfile is especially popular in the United States, with viewers in every state, as well as the Middle East and Europe. Our audience is remarkably loyal and has followed us steadily year after year. DEBKA Videos may be viewed on DEBKA’s special YouTube channel.”

    Their news website is https://www.debka.com/, if you have not checked them out yet. I have seen a lot of references to their news input, and so far, what I have seen , seems valid.

    @Yvonne Smith I go to Arutz Sheva for much of the same reason. However, the minute USA and Israel are together in anything, it becomes a liberal conspiracy theory. We live in a world where the truth just doesn't seem to win or even be wanted. It's amazing the crap people believe because they read it on a Facebook post. :rolleyes:

    Walter Winchell always opened his 15-minute news program with:

    "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. North and South America and all the ships at sea...lets go to Press!"

    When there was something urgent in the news, he always said "Flash!"

    During his final minute of summation, Winchell said: "And now to beat that Red Hand around the Clock!"

    Gabriel Heatter always began his news program with "Ahhh, there's good news tonight!"

    I thought there was a separate thread about Jussie Smollett, but I guess we discussed that mess in this thread. Here's an update...

    Judge Refuses to Dismiss Chicago’s Lawsuit Against Jussie Smollett

    A federal judge on Tuesday refused to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the City of Chicago, which is seeking to recoup investigative costs from former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.


    Judge Virginia M. Kendall rejected Smollett’s contention that he should not be made to pay $130,000 in police overtime costs, plus $260,000 in damages, because he could not have foreseen how seriously the police would take his hate crime report. The judge also faulted Smollett’s attorneys for its “attempts to muddy the waters with irrelevant arguments.”

    They want it to go away because he is linked to Democrats who are running for president also linked to pass president.
