I may have been a victim of fake news against Yiannopolous. I don't know yet.

Yiannopolous redeemed himself
After watching some of the press conference given by Yiannopolous I understand that he didn't mean to be extolling pedophilia, which is what he originally seemed to be doing. So it's not fake news (except perhaps some versions that left out important parts) and he's now corrected his first impression quite believably in my opinion, taking most of the blame for it himself, on his style of gay British sarcasm.
Press conference here:

Re: Yiannopolous redeemed himself
Well, he took it back, and I'll leave it at that for now, until I can listen to more.

Re: Yiannopolous redeemed himself
You have a terrible logic and context problem, which I've commented on many times before.

Re: Yiannopolous redeemed himself
It is of course a lost cause to try to have a conversation with someone who i8s logic and context challenged, so I'll keep it simple: the only thing you've ever "caught" me in is your own false logic and ridiculous inability to grasp context, nothing to do with me.

Re: Yiannopolous redeemed himself
Fake news means the initial report was false, which was a possibility. Turns out the initial piece of information came from him. You seem to love to find little faults to complain about. Why?
No, you accused me of nypocrisy, not "foolishness." Being wrong is to be expected, but I am not a hypocrite. However, you ARE logic and context challenged.
Why are you so eager to catch me in something anyway?

Re: Yiannopolous redeemed himself
YOu just can't tell the truth can you? I didn't "yell" about any of it. I wasn't following this thread and then Dr. A came along saying something about how I joined in the criticism of Yiannopolous because I like white straight men. I had seen the main quote and thought it pretty sleazy and said so. I was not following the topic or this thread. Then I saw some conservative sites defending him and then Dr. A said what he said so it occurred to me that perhaps I'd been the victim of fake news and said that, hoping to leave it there for the time being. As usual I can't say anything without someone making it into a big drama in which I'm the evil villain. I then listenedtp the first maybe ten minutes of his press conference and heard his apology and wanted to leave it there. But along come the EvC bashers who just will not let me leave anything. More accusations, insinuations etc. I have no interest in studying the situation beyond where I left it. No I didn't check anything. I wanted to leave it where I left it. I still do.
Overall I'm happy with my record here. I'm aware of hundreds of terrifically good posts I've made that nobody here appreciates but I know they're good. I could not care less about occasional mistakes. You do of course, you delight in them, but I don't. Your inanities rival mine any day. I know better than to care about anybody's opinion here. It means nothing to me because I recognize the complete alternate universe it comes from. Of course I defend myself, such slander needs to be answered.

So let's say your house is broken into by right wing thugs, and vandalized, robbed, your wife beaten up and you call the cops to report it but they tell you they aren't interested because you didn't report the attack on two right wingers that happened in another city that you hadn't even heard about.

You're closer than the others. No, it was supposed to be a parody of what Dr. A said, that the Berkeley riots were a bigger deal in my mind, and deserved a thread, while I would ignore the killing of a couple of Arabs. My parody attempted to point out that the riots ARE a big destructive deal, and I didn't know anything about the Arabs anyway.

strategy?
I can only suppose that you and JohF, at least, are playing some kind of game intended to destroy all logic. You are making no sense, either one of you. It's a very effective trick, makes it hard to answer you since you aren't saying anything that could be answered since it makes no sense. Clever, clever, effective and destructive. If you want to shut up your political enemies just talk nonsense. What a great idea.
PS/abe I'm not suspecting jar of this but I could be wrong. He just did the usual thing of changing the subject, reducing it to a nitpick. That's standard here. But I suppose it could be intentional as I think your craziness is.

Re: strategy?
He thought they were Arabs. I got the info from Dr. A. Amazing how you feel the need to find SOMETHING, ANYTHING to find fault with in anything I say. Same way something, anything is always being invented or embellished against Trump.

Re: strategy?
His thinking they were Arabs makes them Arabs as far as the main point goes. That's all. Sheesh.
Is there some Central Leftist Information Twisting Organization that you're all plugged into?

Yes, it does. Finally I get to agree with you about something.
I'm very glad to hear it, that is. if you understood properly that "cops and white people" are to be substituted for "people of color."
