Re: que sera sera
And when I do → "fauxnews" ← - I get
About 76,300 results (0.17 seconds)
... which, as far as I am concerned are the same thing.
Certainly way more hits that Aertemis's phrase, by orders of magnitude.
I'm confused regarding your counting method. Did not Artermis's phrase get nearly 700,000 hits? How is 76,300 results orders of magnitude different even when combined with the million or so hits Dr. Adequate reported?
Further, wasn't Artermis's phrase a fairly long one. What about minor variations (such as "all by yourself").

Re: que sera sera
Surely all these numbers are irrelevant?
AE accused jar of being unoriginal.
He stupidly did so using an unoriginal phrase.
Dr. A wasn't playing "who got the most hits on google", he was playing "point at Artemis Entreri the hypocritical idiot".

I wouldn't have put it quite like that, I like Artemis and was merely joshing him. But yes, RAZD seems to be radically missing my point, which was in fact that.

silly tenacity over rather pointless numbers.
Hi NoNukes, hope you are well.
I'm confused regarding your counting method. Did not Artermis's phrase get nearly 700,000 hits? How is 76,300 results orders of magnitude different even when combined with the million or so hits Dr. Adequate reported?
76,300 + 1,060,000 = 1,136,300 hits.
You can get another 37,100 hits for "fox fake news" and you can try "fox's fake news" and whatever you like for more hits
What I was pointing out is that there many are different ways to say "faux news" which all amount to the same thing.
Now we can keep going down this rather silly and ultimately pointless rabbit hole to continue to find ways to say it and add to the total, but the original point was that faux news got 53,200,000 hits.
All of this is based on the rather ludicrous assumption that the number of hits is a measure of something of value ... which it isn't, especially when there is a whole web-blog called fauxnews making fun of Fox and republicans, which drives up the number of hits considerably by have many hits for the same pages.
Are we really that out of things to debate that counting google numbers is important enough to obsess about?
Enjoy.

Re: que sera sera
so the point of your reply to me was clarification on that?
when my point was that google hit numbers are rather irrelevant, even though /faux news got even more hits, because /faux news has been around for years.
Enjoy.

Hi Panda

Astoundingly so.
Dr. A wasn't playing "who got the most hits on google", he was playing "point at Artemis Entreri the hypocritical idiot".
And it's even funnier when he's asking Jar if he originated a phrase that is even more prevalent. It's like being as out of touch as Mitt Romney.
Enjoy.

how much admin ass do you have to kiss around here?
You don't mean to say that AE made a factual claim, then ran away from questions about it, unable to back up what he said, do you?
I just like pointing out the double standards here. Kind of like this gem.
I get suspended for going off topic, yet you get congratulated.

Re: que sera sera
yeah, so? what is your point?
Oh the irony of this thread. people on a site by liberals (admin), and for liberals (users), who maintain a very weak masquerade of intellectual honesty (all the while being incredibly biased), talking about a media outlet and calling them out for not being intellectually honest (calling them out for their bias). It's really quite funny.

Re: que sera sera
Really?
In Message 161 you posted "If the thread is about Obama, or criticizing the left the thread is closed within the 1st 15-30 pages, they don't last that long."?
Fifteen pages at 10 messages a page equals ?
Fifteen pages at 20 messages a page is?
Fifteen pages at 30 messages a page is?
Thirty pages at 10 messages a page equals?

It's not just Fox that seems to be posting Faux News.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Re: que sera sera
all you do is sit there and make snarky comments and talk trash, I think you are related to the people that run this site, because you sure as hell never contribute, but you are never disciplined either.
