You know that.
I said I find that all your reactions are odd.
Reactions to being lied to and manipulated.
Your hate for Trump outweighs your hate of the press lying to you.
That's what I said that I find odd.
And once again ... I said my statement is based on common sense
and that doesn't go far in a court of law but that doesn't matter.
Anyone with a lick of common sense can see that the BBC did what
they did with purpose and intent. It wasnt' an 'error'.
Trumps lawsuit is outrageous and won't get far.
But what the BBC purposely did was outrageous as well.
And you guys simply don't care about what they did to you.
I find lots of things "odd" it doesn't mean they are illegal.
And once again, your argument assumes intent without evidence.
"Common sense" is not a reliable detector of motive, as i have said, it usually reflects prior beliefs, not actual proof.
Newsrooms make errors through time pressure, sourcing mistakes, and editorial bias without requiring coordinated manipulation.
And claiming purpose and intent demands evidence and testimony, not intuition.
Disliking Trump does not equal indifference to media failures.
People can judge his lawsuit as legally absurd and still criticize journalism.
Just like you suggest, two things can be true at the same time.
Additonally the "you don’t care" nonsense is mind-reading, not an argument.
You can't replace evidence with emotional inference.
Or you can, but i doubt it would hold up in a court of law.
"Yet so it is, we see the illiterate bulk of mankind that walk the high-road of plain common sense, and are governed by the dictates of nature, for the most part easy and undisturbed. To them nothing that is familiar appears unaccountable or difficult to comprehend."
