    Why are 90% of your post editorials?

    Can't you post anything that does not have an implicit bias?

    why are 90% of your replies to my posts are about me personally?

    Can't you read anything that does not agree with your implicit bias?

    Discussing the posting of editorials as opposed to articles without an implicit bias isn't really about you personally, is it? It's about posting material for the debate and discussion of issues.

    The dirty trick that did NOT start the Trump Russia investigation. The fact that you accept the title and re-post it here implies that you lack the ability to think critically, right?

    Seems he is asking a reasonable question. After all, folks question and criticize my posts ("gee, all you post are anti-trump tweets... you must work for the DNC"). Isn't it a fair observation that the WSJ editorial board has a right wing bias? And that the majority of your posts are right wing blogs and editorials?

    Now, I know most of my posts are from are supportive or left and critical of right. Even the posts that are tweets from conservatives like Jonah Goldberg, Bill Kristol, Rick Wilson, Max Boot, Mindy Finn, Stephen Hayes, Jennifer Rubin, and George Will, just to name a few. People for the most know what and who I support (they'd be a bit surprised by some positions I have on crime, the military, and tax reform, but I am clearly a Democrat).

    But I know, this is all about me.

    What about that post was personal or any of my post.

    I generally don't read editorials at all and definitely not ones that overt bias that you post.

    the articles you post don't even try to hide the fact they are arguing for a specific point of view.

    What about that question that triggered you?

    The fact that your act about being moderate is crumbling because you only post articles with overtly right leaning slant?

    I'm sorry, I misread your post...

    ... to not mean you agreed with him.

    I think the key giveaway was the personal possessive determiner "your":

    you actually mix in articles that have actual facts that are basis for learning about an issue, while O's post propaganda pieces and claims they should be thought provoking material.

    And then he has the gall to act like he does not agree with what he posting LOL.

    What?

    How should I have asked that question and can you give me an answer this time instead of deflecting?

    Thanks. Some times the tweets link to the articles and other times the character limits on twitter make the articles more informative (some tweeters do a decent job with twitter threads).

    In fairness, everyone can and should post whatever they want and I am more interested in well-written and supported arguments that don't align with my own. So I welcome editorials. I even listen to (gasp!) right wing radio on occasion (ok, Michael Medved... the others can be a bit tiresome).

    That said...

    I think the correct answer is because they align with his implicit biases... most of us do that.

    I think this has been explained to you multiple times. You don't ever say what you think on a subject in your own words but instead communicate via posted editorials. Then if someone ascribes the views of the editorials to you personally, you say "I don't necessarily agree with all the articles I share." People get annoyed.

    I think you should. Trump is their puppet. They got him elect via their Mind Control rays.
