Top antitrust Democrat: There's a case to break up Facebook
Not into Facebook; could care less.
I also don't/won't do FB.
Do you notice and/or does in bother/annoy you at all that even here, so many posts/links/comments seem to originate from members use of FB and its' propensity for 'fake news' ?
@FearlessFly It MIGHT if I knew anything about it.
I just go with if I already agree with the main point, or not. Also, I consider the source. Trump/Fox News/Rush, etc., at one end of the Truth Spectrum, Nader/Chomsky/Sanders, etc., at the other.
Facebook is irrelevant, smacks me as some kind of gimmick.
@Storm1752 "if I already agree with the main point"
Isn't that the definition of "confirmation bias" ?
@FearlessFly Sure. I'm biased. I go to my already incontrovertible basic premises and from there follow the logic.
Everybody's biased. Except you.
@Storm1752 . . . hmmm, where have I claimed I wasn't ?
@FearlessFly Actually maybe we AREN'T biased, except to the extent our premises are biased. I sometimes find my premises faulty. For instance, my one-time insistence "agnostic atheist" was a self-contradictory term, that you had to be one or the other, but couldn't be both. I've since softened my stance even though I still think I'm technically right...I now "get" what they're saying.
I myself was REALLY saying Atheism itself is an illegitimate label I still think so. No one can say they are sure there is no god, I think. Everybody is really agnostic, whether they admit it or not. They're just sure there's no god of a particular TYPE (Abrahamic), as am I.
Anyway...enough of THAT!
@FearlessFly No! I won't read it! I already have! No Agnostic-Atheist debate, please! Examine your premises!
May I add Joe Biden is a swell guy...I base my conclusion on the unchallengable premise he took the train to Washington every day so he could be with his family every night.
Case closed.
