Some dipshit from the USA Today dug up some Murray tweets from when he was 14 where he said “queer” and decided to write an article about it. People need to get a life. 

Bet the writer never said anything regrettable in their life. Lucky for them twitter wasn't around when they were a teenager.

It's a really dumb thing for the writer to do.  Of course, the "woken" will blame the NFL for normalizing this behavior, when reality is so what?  It's not going to keep him out of the NFL or for his draft stock to drop at all...which will make it look like no big deal and that there's no consequences.

So by calling out someone who won't suffer consequences, the writer is actually helping to normalize something that presumably offends him.

But it's hilarious that Cuomo apparently forgot what network he works for.  He's basically a less obnoxious left-wing version of Hannity.

Maybe at that moment but he is also a puppet of lefty media.

You can post whatever you like.  And no, I don't dispute the story happened.  My point is that with 350 million of us in this country, there will always be incidents of people doing crazy things, whether in the name of politics, religion, race, whatever.  Unfortunately we live in an age where it is easy to project every one of those people's actions to everyone.  We then read or watch these stories and start to believe they are part of some trend or movement or whatever the case and that they actually represent something significant.  

 

Most of our country functions just fine.  Differing views are what makes us great.  Extremists or nut jobs are not representative of the bulk of us.  Pasting these stories and making that suggestion is what I disagree with.

We're talking CC. Using multi-syllable words in a sentence is probably enough to confuse him.

Oh yes, the War on Christmas.  Just like clockwork, the usual suspects led by their cable and talk radio patriots trot out the old War on Christmas.  Where is obligatory picture of the Starbucks cup in your post?

Christmas parties = sexual harassment.

Do you not read things?

They said Christmas parties = a place where sexual harassment can take place, particularly because it has a less formal feel, and people are "freer" with each other sometimes.

Seriously, show us on the doll where someone canceling their own Christmas party hurt you.

Never mind the persistent "pretend Breitbart is a legit news site whose stories should be taken seriously" deal that he does. Shit, might as well just post a shit-ton of Root and Jezebel stories since they have the same amount of intellectual honesty going on, with the only difference being that one is a right-wing troll-job and the other two are left-wing troll-jobs.

Here's a little media bias site that I found interesting: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/

Needless to say there are no big names there lol!

Nice try.  If the Trumpers don't like the fact checks on mediabiasfactcheck, they call it a liberal media outlet.

There used to be a site called KnifeMedia but it is now defunct. But I really liked it because they reported the news with as little adjectives as they could. They tried very hard not to put their feelings into the reporting and even reviewed other media outlets for propaganda. But since they didn't publish clickbait or try to be a political outreach program, they didn't get many advertisers. Hence, going defunct.

Ah, the old "last refuge of the weak-minded and ignorant" talking point. And it's the season for grumpy asshole snowflakes bitching about the world coming to an end because someone at some business had the audacity to say "Happy Holidays" to them instead of "Merry Christmas"!!!

Well, after scanning several, it IS pretty clearly left-leaning.  

For example, they correctly label Fox and MSNBC/CNN very biased....but for MSNBC/CNN they go on to say "but straight news is good" and other equivocations and apologies.  The half dozen or so descriptions I read on the left all said something along the lines of "mostly...but there are writers/contributors who are very objective".  Stark contrast to what was written on the right-leaning sites.

It put Breitbart out there in conspiracy/fake news land....but not HuffPo or VOX?  Politico is on the list of "least biased"?!?

Also, it put WattsUpWithThat on the list of conspiracy/faux science for daring to challenge the global warming hysteria.  That site is quite good, has some very prominent and accomplished skeptics who regularly contribute, and is constantly promoting peer-reviewed papers that challenge the so-called "consensus".

If that's the case, then the father should be tried and sent to jail. Period.
