"My point is your first retort to Jog was TheGatewayPundint lies so they should be dismissed. But previous, as I mentioned on another thread, you more or less said that if you pass along information which is later proven to be false, that’s not a lie."
I didn't say they should be dismissed, I was attempting to convey that zero scrutiny of their incorrect publishing has happened, however on the flip side JoG will "PRAY for Justice for these fukkin lying assholes" if it is the CDC. However it is also ok to reference CDC publication as fact if it says something he agrees with.
JoG also argues that if the CDC publishes information that somebody else intentionally alters, then the CDC are liars. Not the actual liar that altered the information or lied about what it said.
If Thegatewatpundit publishes incorrect information there seems to be no reason to PRAY for Justice for those fukkin lying assholes. Why not?
"Point is The Gateway Pundit’s reporting might be completely accurate"
Given my research I would say Thegatewatpundit, by their own self-admission, has not been completely accurate. I would say they have intentionally lied, or to be specific they have on multiple occasions published information that is very false and proven so with minimal research. This is why they have a record of withdrawing their information, but by the time they do the damage has been done by means of thousands of people spreading information they won't bother to read. We compile spreadsheets on source accuracy and TGP scores very low, I think mostly because they will just post anything, and then see if it is true. So are they liars? They are liars in the same way I would be if I just posted anything I read on Facebook as fact, then "corrected" it only if somebody challenged it.
"Again, most of the mass media repeated the Russian lie for a period of years so should we label them as liars and dismiss everything they say forever?"
Again I don't use mass media as a reliable source of accurate information. This is one of the many reasons. I would have zero issue with anyone dismissing everything they say forever, I did that 20 years ago and have had very good results economically and socially in my life since.
As for the CDC, I have never said we should trust them. I am familiar with scenarios as you describe. I have said if somebody else alters a CDC publication, calling the CDC liars makes no sense.
