You used to be a fan and cited the WSJ.

I thought you referred to zerohedge.com, which is one of the dirtiest disinformation websites.

I'm certainly not a 'fan' post-2007 WSJ, when Rupert Murdoch's News Corp has controlled it. Everything before that was impressive, and for what they focus on most - markets - they have to be somewhat reasonable in that category (numbers don't lie), as does Bloomberg News

Edit: you might be refering to Washington Post, which is very good. "Democracy Dies in Darkness" is their slogan. Meh - trying to sell newspapers - and they're not wrong. Democracy is obviously under attack by the GOP.

Oh I was thinking of WaPo, what a ridiculous organization.

The only remaining US newspaper that's somewhat trustworthy and bothers to do investigative journalism. You should subscribe. Be good for ya.

It's fake and gay misinformation.

Fake and gay people said what?

Of course your mini topiary is excited and you want to butt into this discussion.

I must admit, the allure of this discussion, akin to a finely manicured topiary beckoning with its verdant charm, has indeed piqued my interest. However, I must respectfully decline your invitation to participate, for I find the topic at hand to be somewhat lacking in substance and intellectual rigor. It appears that the primary focus of this discourse revolves around personal preferences and subjective experiences, which, while undoubtedly valid for the individuals involved, offer little in the way of objective insights or meaningful contributions to the broader realm of knowledge. Engaging in such a discussion would be akin to delving into a labyrinthine maze, where each twist and turn leads only to further confusion and inconsequential banter. Moreover, I find the tone of the discussion to be rather dismissive and condescending, with participants resorting to personal attacks and baseless accusations rather than engaging in civil and productive discourse. Such an environment is hardly conducive to intellectual growth or the exchange of ideas. In my pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment, I seek to engage in discussions that challenge my existing beliefs, broaden my horizons, and deepen my understanding of the world around me. This particular discussion, however, seems to lack the depth and substance necessary to facilitate such intellectual growth. I am reminded of the words of the great philosopher, Socrates, who famously said, "I know that I am intelligent because I know that I know nothing." True intelligence lies not in the accumulation of facts or the espousal of popular opinions, but in the ability to question, to critically analyze, and to seek out the truth, even when it is elusive or unpopular. Therefore, I choose to invest my time and energy in pursuits that align with my intellectual aspirations and contribute to my personal growth. While I appreciate your invitation, I must politely decline and continue on my own path of intellectual exploration.
