Now how, exactly, would someone provide "evidence" that there was a coverup?
In Watergate, Leon Jaworski went to elaborate lengths to prove it with conversations, statements by collaborators, written documents, etc. Do you expect ordinary people to have that?
So we're left with extremely strict standards from "fact checkers" when Trump says anything, and "hey, what the hell, he meant well" when Biden says something blatantly wrong. For example:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-ar-15-bullet-gun/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-ar-15-bullet-gun/
So they rate this a "correct attribution" even though they say "the President's claim is false."
I'm glad you're done here. Otherwise, you'd have to go to even more insane contortions now.
- wpietri 4y ago> Do you expect ordinary people to have that? I expect people not to make factual claims when they have no facts. If you want to say, "I have no proof but I believe in my heart it was a coverup", that's fine. If you want, feel free to build your worldview around vibes or whatever. Just don't pretend otherwise.
- Cupertino95014 4y agoYou are the one who has no facts, I'm afraid. If someone says "all sheep are white" disproof comes from just one black sheep. So if we say "the establishment media covered up this story" you can disprove it with one, or preferably several references where it was covered fairly and prominently. But you can't, can you?
