Re: Mainstream Media? Really?
Facts must be proven in order to be facts. You all don't accept the same facts; you accept the same consensus of your fellow travelers in science and politics and culture.
And, we have objective evidence to back up our facts. Where there is insufficient objective evidence, we do not claim facts.

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate
Howling about evidence is a conversation stopper, and it never stops to think if the claim could possibly be true -- foreveryoung

You people worship evidence when it seems to go along with what you already want to believe. You don't handle evidence the right way and you call things evidence that really aren't evidence at all. As I mentioned before, the worst part is that you base your conclusions and your decisions on the false belief that you have ALL the evidence, when many times you don't.
Do you have any actual examples of this? Or is it just your intuition?
