Yeah, I agreed with you on most of the stuff, just added my 2 bucks...or less...

Yes, bear skin rug, but I would not just go shoot one to prove I can shoot one. Had it a couple times, same bear-same cook, found it to be a bit tough and greasy.
Very good jerky. A friend brought it back to Okinawa from states. I offered some to my close Okinawan friend. When I told him what it was, he was repulsed! Seems like Okinawans will et damn near anything - but the won't eat "teddybears"

How does a unicorn improve the world beyond that of other creatures? Say for example, a peacock....

Sorry if I wasn't clear... How would a unicorn improve the world more other creatures that currently exist such as a peacock? I guess I'm not familiar with how magical unicorn life would improve anything.
Leftover Ponderosa Strip vs Wagyu Eye Filet vs Unicorn....Magical

Ref: The recent shooting of a 16 year old girl in Columbus Ohio which side of the road are you on with this one?

CNN: White police officer kills black sixteen year old girl?

FOX: White police officer saves life of black female from knife wielding youth?

Danny Woodhead, but several honorable mentions including Horace Ivory, Sam Bam, Curtis Martin, Kevin Faulk, and James White (if not for his entire body of work then what he did to score the overtime SB winning touchdown alone).


Built a nice little career for himself. I wonder if he remember it.

On this one I am taking the FOX News headline. If he has not shot her she likely would have stabbed the other teen.

That's why each of these stories needs to be judged individually before judging them collectively. Make no mistake, I believe a lot of these are part of a collective problem.... but it seems not this one.

Saving a life is not as clickable as 'killing' one.

CNN this morning is in a panic. QAnon candidates have won more than 10% of local elections in the past year. 55% of their support comes from China and 27% from Russia according to "Reports".

Without 24/7 coverage of the Chauvin trial, CNN has nothing to report because they don't report any real news, unless it's amass murder or a catastrophe. Without Trump to make up stories about, it's like watching kids in an empty room.

I respect the opinion not sure I agree with analysis FOX news is very much the same just the polar opposite in what they choose to present. I mostly watch BBC America they seem the less biased and tend to actually report news of note.

The only things I have learned from these type of events is:
1) We never have enough information
2) somebody is typically lying
3) every writer / reporter has an agenda. (take a literature class if you don't agree)
4 consider the source! CBS recently showed a video of a 13 yo in Chicago getting shot by cop. Kid had raised his hands when instructed by cop.
CBS cut out the part where the kid spun around with the gun in his hand before ultimately complying.
CBS showed the edited film to the world......

There is only one company left in the world that reports news.
The rest all editorialize.

The company? Al Jazeera from Qatar.
Note: thet were labeled an enemy of the US for reporting truth.
Here is an example. If you read, please notice that the report does not say that this is good or bad or incorrect or proven.
They are only reporting what was said.

Biden pledges to halve US emissions by 2030 at climate summit

Qatar is undergoing a regime change. I hope this does not mean the downfall of Al Jazeera.....

Like I've said a thousand times in the hoop. "It all depends on which side of the fence you're on."

If you're liberal/progressive CNN is your flagship station for everything anti-right. Fox is the station if you want something much more conservative.

The big problem is that 98% of American networks are very left and the news that's presented is always given with an agenda. That makes Fox stand out as pretty much the only voice of the conservative side of the fence.

BBC has started leaning more to the left in recent years and as hard as they've tried to be unbiased, their reporters report the way that they want the audience to see an event.

It doesn't do one single thing to unite a divided country. It only makes things worse.

Example: this morning at 10;30 on CNN (My wife is a lib and has it on 24/7)

HEADLINE running across bottom of the screen:

BLACK OWNED FUNERAL PARLOR OFFERS SERVICES TO FLOYD AND WRIGHT FAMILIES

What does this say to most people? That no white funeral directors would provide services? Or did this funeral parlor offer free services to get free advertising and more customers from the black community? Who will provide any further info? My guess: CNN.

Many times, the way something is worded can present a very biased point of view and/or make other groups look very bad.
