I had an argument with someone the other day about how "goose and gander" and "tit-for-tat" aren't, and have never been, a valid reason to counter a legitimate news item, with made up bullshit.

I watched this knuckle dragger rationalize and attempt to explain why floating innuendo, conspiracy and woefully off the mark BS, as news, is perfectly acceptable...as something to contrast items that might (or do) shine a not so favorable light, with regard to ideology or politics.

You just don't make shit up, because you feel butt hurt about a fact or legitimate news item.  This isn't 3rd friggin grade.  There's plenty of real world facts about Dems (policy/agenda) that are scathing that aren't made up.

The only thing I can figure is that the innuendo, conspiracy and completely off the mark BS is preferable because 90 percent of it always plays to some stereotype, fear or bigotry.

Legitimate news...borrrrinnngggg.  Contrived bullshit? Party time!
