    I quoted the NPR and AP articles, since you seem allergic to reporting from the UK.

    Lol, “because you don’t like these extremely biased sources, I quoted some sources with the exact same extreme bias”

      I usually try to cite multiple sources because one or all may be biased, but it’s less likely that multiple sources will misrepresent reality in exactly the same way.

      It is possible, but it is less likely.

      I quoted all three in my original response, and he only responded negatively to the one based in UK, implying that he considered the other two met some minimum standard of quality.

      He also quoted those same sources in his responses to me. If he thought the same way you do, I would have expected him to dismiss them outright, like you are.

        but it’s less likely that multiple sources will misrepresent reality in exactly the same way.

        Not when you’re selecting sources that all have the same bias. Like, how many sources are you citing that aren’t Western neo-liberal and Zionist aligned? Zero.

        implying

        So he didn’t say that, you’re just assuming.

        If he thought the same way you do, I would have expected him to dismiss them outright,

        Or he would cite them to demonstrate that even media that shares your bias supports his position

          It’s possible, but he didn’t say that, and our argument continued without your help.

          It is weird that you’re white-knighting so hard for him.

          Why are you here?

                  All of your comments in my inbox are immature attacks.

                  Since you’re not even trying to engage in an argument with me, I’m blocking you.

                    “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

                    Jean-Paul Sartre
