It was meant as a peace offering.Ok. Now that is funny.

Tentative agreement that both will testify on Thursday; some not insignificant details, however, still have to be worked out. And to my surprise, the Wall Street Journal is not hiding most of its article (balanced & the seemingly most informed one I've read in the past 20 minutes) behind their paywall:With all due respect I don't follow any line. I support hearing from both of them before deciding anything. Deciding to come forward or not is a personal decision. Will she come to testify?
omg it's the Friendly's Swiss Chocolate Almond Sundae -- but on steroids, and with caramel added
Thank you. I hope she testifies and they don't stall again. I don't see the requirement that he be questioned first so that is a positive.Tentative agreement that both will testify on Thursday; some not insignificant details, however, still have to be worked out.

If you think that only occurs on the Republican side then you have been had.
This is exactly what they are doing. They are telling the base what to think. It's the problem that the US has right now with partisan news organizations. Two different realities get spun depending on what side you fall on.
My apologies if that is not what you intended. Our way may not be perfect, but for me I would not want the state controlling what we see and hear or deciding what the facts are. I cannot remember where you live.You clearly did not read my post. I said:
I clearly said this happens on both sides, and it’s a problem. It doesn’t happen in other countries (like mine) where the media is not (yet at least) owned by private people motivated to push a certain political view. Keeps things neutral and we all watch the same news reported in a much more fact driven, less opinion driven way. Your way (ie Fox News vs MSNBC) is terrifying and explains why people get so polarized.

I agree most of the media cannot be trusted to give only the facts without punditry and one has to wade through it. It wasn't always this way. I avoid reporters or pundits that are blatantly bias. I guess we can each be happy where we are.For what it’s worth, I don’t live in a communist country where the government controls the media and the content of its message. Our national station recieves guaranteed annual funding regardless of what party is in power, and whatever political party is in power has literally zero influence over the press (and our press actually delights in calling out the foibles on both sides). Our local stations are funded almost entirely by ad revenue and this is heavily regulated to avoid the partisan problems that you guys have in the US. I would say our system is more free than yours as evidenced by that shameful reading of the exact same message broadcast across stations a while back...your media message is clearly owned and controlled by people wanting to control the content. I’m not saying that stations on the other side are necessarily better (although to be fair, no one showed clips of liberal leaning stations all mouthing the same weird statement in unison), but it is problematic when someone (anyone) can so completely control what people see, hear, and think they know. It’s essentially brainwashing.
I would say the vast majority of news stations here are liberal leaning.

Wow, I'm not at all sure I even have my diploma.Raise your hand if, like Brett Kavanaugh, you have held on to calendars/datebooks from your high school years; bonus points if yours too are paper & 30 to 35 years old!
I'm not even done reading the article and I have two things to say.I'm going to leave this right here, mainly because I was beyond triggered after reading.

The words I do have aren't fit for polite company so I'll say no more.

The brainwashing is going on everywhere (interesting that you can see it but many here cannot). And apparently we cannot even trust the Weather Channel anymore.

I never said that. Let's not put words in my mouth please. I just said we apparently can't trust the Weather Channel.Ummm.... The weather channel is liberal? OMG stop...........

Indeed. It's pretty amazing, and not in a good way.Every adult in this young woman's life and law enforcement failed her.
I actually got in a bit of faux sort of trouble at work because I kept every spiral steno book with every phone conversation notes I had for years. Before that I was the one who had all the notes and made the best unit log info. Just the way I am.Raise your hand if, like Brett Kavanaugh, you have held on to calendars/datebooks from your high school years; bonus points if yours too are paper & 30 to 35 years old!
It is disgusting beyond measure.Indeed. It's pretty amazing, and not in a good way.
