Why is Shipley only posting cropped records of what he got?
Post full pages like these and then we'll have something to talk about. https://web.stanford.edu/group/wais/...0804/DD214.pdf
Btw, that's gotta be the fastest response in history for requesting info from the government. Incident happened on 1/18 and Shipley got his "records" on 1/19.
I note that you failed to post any evidence that CNN -alone of all the networks & media in the world - "simply sent two people to stake out the house," DEMOCRAT.
I think I know why.
Loser.
Who told you he's "only posting cropped records of what he got"?

You didn't answer my question, squaw.
I don't see any assignment as a "recon ranger."

I don't see any name proving that this screen shot belongs to Phillips, either. Why isn't the heading of these columns shown?

You didn't answer my question, Your Highness.
Btw,.. I suppose it's good to see you taking Shipley's postings at face value rather than immediately casting a cynical eye on them as you usually do.
You learned something from me after all.

CNN has a different business model than Fox News and MSNBC, despite them all competing for the 24-hour news viewer. Fox News and MSNBC have gone whole-hog for the talking head format, albeit from different partisan angles. Most of their coverage falls into one of three buckets: (1) a partisan firebrand spinning the day's stories (Hannity/Maddow), (2) an anchor at a desk doing a fairly neutral run-down of the day's reporting done by other outlets (essentially, reading the work of the AP, UPI, and the major newspapers), while introducing short video clips of political functionaries reading their respective talking points, and (3) having two or more partisans sitting on camera, yelling at each other about a given topic for half an hour.
The benefit of that model is that it's cheap to produce, other than when it comes to paying the celebrity on-air talent. You don't need to maintain a bunch of bureaus all over the world, you don't need to bankroll investigative journalists for months on end until they finally have something ready to go on the air, you don't need to fly people around to get on-the-scene coverage, etc.
CNN has been moving in that same direction for over a decade, but it still has vestiges of its old business model, back when it was "the world's most important network." It still has a lot more actual journalists, and resources staged around the world. That's why when there's a sudden, big story that can't be handled just by putting braying heads into a studio room to yell at each other, CNN's ratings go up. If there's a tsunami, or a major terrorist attack, or a space shuttle blows up, or a war starts, etc., CNN is more likely to be able to get people on the ground to cover it, and more likely to have the stable of experts, translators, fixers, contacts, and the like needed to get the story and get it well. Then, once the breaking-news portion of the story has passed, people drift back to Fox News or MSNBC (depending on their politics) to hear comforting spin about the story.
So, it's not particularly surprising that CNN, alone, had someone there. Fox News and MSNBC would have been more fixated on booking celebrity partisans to come to their respective studios armed with talking points about Stone, for after the arrest, rather than going into the field to cover it actually happening.
It's fascinating how often right-wingers on this forum find themselves unable to formulate a substantive response to a post, and are forced to resort to posting generic visual gifs instead. It's almost like they're bots that, when they encounter something their AI can't parse well enough to link to a remotely related talking point, they're programmed just to go with a dismissive visual, to give the illusion of interaction.
And because it is a BIG ASS burger.
PS That's the actual name of THIS burger, Big Ass Burger at the Twisted Root Burger in Dallas
Damn, that burger still looks good.

Super lefty
Legion's a little bitch anyway, he won't answer a simple question of mine.
Your unsubstantiated opinions got the responses they merit.
Perhaps with time they'll upgrade your algorithm. Right now, it appears only to work when it encounters a standard lefty talking point to which is can reply with the standard right-wing riposte. That can pass for interaction if the lefty sticks close to that side of the script. But it's not going to pass a Turing test without some major improvements.
So you say. Get back to me when you think you can post something substantive.
