No, that's Russia.
The U.S. have at-worst rigged courts and media, but that's only going on during full-out wartime
[QUOTE=DoktorAkcel;47839350]Yeah, you just mysteriously vanish.[/QUOTE]
Nah. You ever hear about a person called Manning?
That one pissed off the government big-time, but the media still reported on their case.
If it ever did turn out that the CIA/NSA/whatever-the-fuck-IA was disappearing people, there would be a political shitstorm on the apocalyptic scale.

And western only news articles? Those are the banned sources. Pretty sure non of them are from Russia. If you wanna post Russian news go do it instead of crying about it.
[/QUOTE]
To be fair you have banned me for posting a thread using a Russian source no worse than many of the Western sources posted here. There is definitely some degree of bias at play. To further prove my point, only the other day a mod posted a thread using a Western source from that list. Was he banned? Of course not.

What was there to fix? Neither pronouns nor first names were used in his post to begin with.

Uh? Do you maybe want to recheck the ban and the thread you posted?
Your source [B]debunked[/B] the fact that "U.S. cops killed more people in one month than U.K. cops killed last century". Yet you used "U.S. cops killed more people in one month than U.K. cops killed last century" as the title of your thread.
[URL]http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/apr/15/addicting-information/liberal-blog-us-cops-killed-more-people-one-month-/[/URL]
And the "report" was from a blog that cited Wikipedia as source, and furthermore Politifact is [B]​not [/B]a Russian website.
So in the same post you both rely on this blog to debunk my Russian source and ban me, yet also question the validity of said report because it is a blog. Interesting.

It's common knowledge that blogs are the LAST thing to trust when it comes to journalism.
Along with clickbait sites and fringe political sites.

What the fuck is so hard for you to understand, your title said something and your source said something else.
still salty from the ban or what?
I linked the same site that YOU used. Good thing you realized it's bad huh??

No... In the US we can literally shit on the flag, light it on fire, and call Obama a cunt in front of the Whitehouse and then go home and be fine. No one mysteriously disappears, not sure who said that. We have a problem with the NSA and shit, but that's getting fixed.
[QUOTE=Spirit_Breaker;47835725]I'm not defending this, but you seriously have to be stupidly naive to believe that Russians are the only ones doing this. P much every nation in the world does this, it tries to propagate and manipulate information to general populace to suit it's interests [b](for example WMDs in Iraq)[/b].

Um.
[url]http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=15918[/url] - relating to munitions found with sarin and mustard gas still viable inside.
[url]http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/uranium-shipped-to-montreal-from-iraq-in-top-secret-mission-1.742303[/url] - relating to 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium.
Literally 2 minutes of looking.

Oh bother, somebody questioned your authority. Better start dishing out abuse.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;47839676]your title said something and your source said something else.[/QUOTE]
Sources, plural. Two sources. You picked one of them to use as a ban reason (hint: it's not the Russian one), demonstrating your bias. Further, you call it a bad source and still use it.

You misrepresented what the thread was about. If it was "RT says this, which is proven false by Poltifact" that would have made more sense. Plus the fact it was just a blog post without any written material given beforehand so it's like, ok why should I click on this link? What is the interesting part of it that obviously caught your attention? Post it. All you did was post a link and an RT video and assumed people would read your mind?

I can't believe you're so damn salty about your 12 hour ban that happened over a month ago. The reason that I banned you for was "Bad source / Misleading title".
The Politifact one was bad, so was the RT video. But videos are allowed, so are RT threads.
Yes, I still used the Politifact article [B]in this thread [/B]to show you that it was conflicting with your video. And to tell you that the Politifact article itself was refering to a blog that was based on Wikipedia. So now you know how bad it is. I mean it seems like you're aware that Politifact is a blog and that the US cops stats is also from a blog. And you still use it?
Your title was countering one of your sources.
So in conclusion, you made a shit thread and you got banned for it.
Swebonny and the Sensationalist Headlines forum ~chapter 1~
I'm getting trolled hard.
Swebonny! don't be so rude
Just ask yourself. "What would postal do?"
Finally I am on the news

I haven't seen join date elitism since like 09
yeah we need preserve our old members because a lot of the new ones are young
does this explain all the flashy Russian videos on youtube about how Russia are the "Good Guys" in Ukraine?
[QUOTE=Spirit_Breaker;47839032]western only news articles allowed[/QUOTE]
Articles that are not written under the influence of freedom of speech are worthless.

Don't forget that time you were justifying the miss-treatment of gypsy people in a nation accused by all reputable human-rights organizations to be responsible for some of the worst abuses in the modern world.
