    If that were true then the so called "libel" law suite would be bogus. Fox's Oriely Factor has been getting away with the same thing for a decade now under same idea. They use tactics like "Some people say" (which fox says) Obama is a Muslim. This is no different other than it is actually believable.

    Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

    A person you (impersonal, not targeted to you) like files a lawsuit for libel: he did the right thing! He's been unjustly targeted! Proof of innocence. A person you (same as above) don't like files a lawsuit for libel: that b*tard, trying to suppress freedom of information and hide its skeletons! Proof of guilt. So, no,

      Do you have any proof of this? And please don't link typical political garbage, I avoid politics like most rational people. But, do you have something real and concrete? I'm genuinely curious.

      If you read his next statement, it explains his reasoning. Put to the extreme, the Romans were responsible for 9/11 because you know, Masada.

          You seem to just dismiss the last two decades then. Maybe you need to read up on how things changed in the late 80s due to Reagan and then the emergence of Fox news. Check out "Out Foxed" if you want a blip of it, but there is much more to it than they covered (including the liberal media following suite). Sorry, but you are just wrong. There are no "libel" laws that you speak of and even if there were nothing illegal was actually done by Buzzfeed or CNN. No one will pay a dime. You are just buying in to the Titter Chief and shows you have no clue just as he doesn't.

              Russia is the number one threat to humanity. Instead of condemning this regime of darkness and standing up for innocents, Donald Trump has colluded with this evil power to undermine american democracy

                That's because in the United States of Whatever the law system is ridicuolous at best - I often mix the law of my country with that of the US.

                  THat is a pretty dumb assumption and typical from someone that is brainwashed. I don't read buzzfeed and have no idea what type of content they have. Just stating the facts, and the facts are news media has been allowed since the late 80s after various FCC laws were lifted under Reagan to use shady and practically illegitimate sources, blast opinion as news, and provide a simple one sided argument. I somehow doubt anything will happen and if it were I am thinking class actions will open against Fox faster than you can say Mr. President. But you stick to your guns and keep claiming I read buzzfeed and give two hoots about them. I am sure that will make your argument better :rolleyes:

                      HRC was probably a crook and a dishonest person, but she was not a danger to humanity. Trump is.

                          Now that she's lost the election, she's a danger only to herself. Trump is an obnoxious boor, and I certainly wouldn't want him living anywhere near me. OTOH, he manages a multi-billion dollar profitable commercial enterprise. Where are Clinton's accomplishments?
