    I agree generally, with your list. But, I can assure you, that even if said poster avoids #3, he will still get banned. I had a recent one for "minor spam". It seems my post was not interesting enough, so it's bannable. #seemslegit

    Also, the increasing number of indictments does demonstrate a trend that Mueller is closing in. That these particular indictments don't indicate collusion is meaningless in the long term.
    If your point is that Faux News is no better, we are not in disagreement. My point is that watching only one side is perilous, if your aim is to be informed.

    No, my point is that your worldview is extraordinarily narrow and clearly derived from a limited number of cable news sources.

    I can't speak for those posters who were banned today, but I can assure you what you say is not always the case, based on my own personal experience.

    Ok then. Thanks for sharing your view. But I disagree. I think limiting yourself to only one outlet is bad, no matter what that outlet is.

    Not really. But dude, if you could read my infraction history, you would be on the floor laughing. It's safe to say there are some reaches in there, despite a handful being deserved.

    Breitbart is a commentary site. I was speaking about news. You know, organizations with like...reporters and such. However, it would make a lot of sense, if posters here were getting their news from the opinion pieces written about news, rather than the actual, fact based news. That would definitely explain a lot.

    Considering how many times I have personally been banned, this is complete utter bullshit.
