You got all that from my 3-word comment/question?

You’re welcome. But, wait… Did I give an opinion? Perhaps I should have rephrased my question. Something like,

Al Jazeera . . .

The Qatar-owned news channel? The network that the U.S. State Department and Central Intelligence Agency have said is manipulated by its owner to suit its political interests?

Al Jazeera . . .
The network that broadcast the homecoming of Samir Kuntar to Lebanon, calling him a pan-Arab hero?

But even had I said that, and more, I wouldn’t have been opining. I would, however, be questioning the level of bias in a report issued by such a state-owned organization, and whether it is worth 25 minutes of my time. When I deemed that it wasn’t, I should have simply hit the “Back” button.

Again, I violated my own policy commenting here. I don’t comment on thoroughbreds when I visit the HuffPo, and I don’t come to DT to talk politics. Hell, if anything I come here to escape politics. I have never seen a political thread, here or elsewhere, wherein Poster A convinced Poster B of the invalidity or flawed logic of his position. But by all means, continue without me. I have bets to place, money to lose, carrots to dispense.

Cheers!
