Edit: This isn't meant to be a political post (the subject is political) but I found it an interesting piece on the state of journalism. If I've crossed any lines I'll delete this thread.

False claims against politicians, et al., can have devasting effects. Bud Dwyer immediately comes to mind (although not a formal organization, but effective, nonetheless).

You'd assume there would be some sort of legal ramification for conspiring to take down a business like this.

Seems like it would fall under malicious mischief.

You would think WaPo, CNN, Fox, NYT would do this themselves. Like a secret shopper. They should all be making sure what they publish can be verified.

The irony; one of non-moto's most clicked members cracking jokes about how bans don't work.

Not in the slightest.

I just figured someone who's so pro self regulation would be somewhat decent at self regulating.

I suppose you're right; why do the work yourself when you know someone else will clean up your messes for you.

LMAO, I get paid to clean other people’s messes up. I even go out of my way to clean up others messes like this old concrete plant that has been littered and vacant for the past 25 years. Instead of giving the transients in the barn fresh needles for their heroin, I tore the barn down. I don’t need anyone to clean up after me unless you want to come haul off 200 old cement truck tires.

Youre just a rich, white, privileged carpet bagger swoping in and buying the spoils of someones failed business. Cashing in on someone's bad luck! Dont you know you are whats wrong with America? How dare you spend your hard money making something better, helping your community and local tax base and creating something from literally a shithole trashheap?

No wonder all the liberals here hate you !

Which makes it even stranger that you haven't put two and two together yet. While you get paid to go around cleaning up other peoples messes you're oblivious (or perhaps refuse to acknowledge) the amount of work that goes on around here to clean up all the liter you scatter about.

I suppose it's all good though – you're cleaning up someone else's mess – someone ( GuyB ) should clean up yours! Let's all pass that buck.

Guy B sends me free t-shirts for posting here. Deep down he really likes what I do here. He only cleans up stuff to keep you happy. So in reality, he's cleaning up after you, not me.Wink

Funny, I always thought you got free shit out of pity... sort of like how you give a kid ice cream after you hand down a harsh punishment so their self-esteem doesn't implode.

Guess it's true, you really do learn something new everyday.
