Things can change in a heartbeat and even if they don't, statistics can be subjected to p-hacking. I think it's pretty short-sighted to only use certain types of justifications and logic when they uphold things you already support. We need to consider whether or not we're crafting a weapon for the other side to use against us. It builds this philosophy of economic sensibility being equivalent to moral superiority, which we both know is untrue as all ****.

Yes, so the 300+ business leaders who are against DACA over financial reasons don't know ****. And don't have the ability to forecast well past "a heartbeat". And those same 300+ business leaders (and their numerous financial advisors) don't understand data dredging as much as you obvioulsy do.

I already noted how much moral sensibility had been granted to the subject long before the economics started coming to the forefront. But you only see what you want to see to further your ****ing self sense of yourself and how bright you think you are.

Oh you.

You're just too insecure to accept any form of criticism. I'm not even going to bother dismantling your post that 100% misses my point because you fail to see what you don't already agree with and it's just a waste of time.

negative. they're just as biased to leftist ideas as any right leaning news outlet is to the right.

I don't actually mind Cenk too much. He's round and dumb, but has a little more intellectual honesty than many left-leaning ideologues.

they're no more informative than most other news sources, they just cater to the left side when reporting whereas a network like Fox would obviously cater to the other side.

How do you not like Ana?

Nah Q, they have their moments but they are still a bit central at times than just left leaning bias.

just saw your other comment. as someone who would call himself a centralist they are definitely not central. from a business point of view what they're doing is great though, give the teenage-20 something left something that isn't CNN to watch. just like infowars do a great job appealing to the crazy conspiracy theorist right.

there's money to be made by just reaffirming people's opinions.
