Where can one see this ' FAUX ' news of which you speak ? Is it sorta like The Onion? I've heard of FOX, which matches the description of what Robert Murdoch owns. Unless your typing skills truly are so poor, where as you meant to type FOX instead of FAUX, or 'in fact' instead of 'in fack '?
Good catch on the typo. That's one in a row for you.
But who is Robert Murdoch? Is he Rupert's smarter brother? Or are your typing skills so poor that you meant to type RUPERT instead of "Robert"?
When I refer to FauxNews, I am of course talking about your beloved "FOX". And yes, it's sorta like The Onion, in that they use actual words to describe things. The Onion tends to be closer to the truth in most cases, though. Research shows that those who watch Fox are less informed about current events than those who watch no news at all, and a good deal less informed than those who get their news from The Daily Show.
But since they're entirely slanted to the right, of course you find them to be the only reliable news source. Well, until you have to backpedal and claim that they aren't "news" at all, but "entertainment".

Yes, FOX news is a small part of the media. And one which hasn't been around for very long, unlike CBS,NBC, ABC, The NYTimes, LA Times, or even CNN.
"A small part of the media," and "one which hasn't been around for very long." Great. So you're saying you give a pass to MSNBC and Huffington Post, right? After all, compared to Fox, they're even smaller, and also haven't been around very long.

And Cavetroll, funny! As CNN was founded in Atlanta, which is also the home office of Coca-Cola, it figures they'd prop up Pepsi.
And Niki, I pity you if you think that the rest of the MSM is NOT propaganda for the Left.
And Rappy, I pity you if you think Fox ISN'T propaganda for the right.

There ARE four lights. The media is trying to tell us that there are only 3 lights. And as strong and proud as Jean-Luc Picard is, even he, at the end, admits that he was on the verge of agreeing with his captors, and saying there are only 3 lights.
Ummmm... Wasn't it FIVE lights they were trying to get him to admit to, not THREE?
Are you trying to mislead us and tell us something that's not true, or are your typing skills so poor that you typed "3" when you meant to type "5"?

5 lights, 3 lights. Rupert, Robert... doesn't matter.
I'm still right.

Huh. From the looks of things, you're completely wrong.
And now you're trying to claim that you're "still right".
So how many lights does that make it? Are you saying that 2+2=THREE? Or are you now saying that the number of lights doesn't matter, and that it's whatever you say it is, and that's all that matters?
It's okay for you to admit that you were wrong.

No, I'm completely right.
You're trying to spin things by confusing minor, trivial side issues with the greater point being made.
As is your M.O.

I've never actually watched Star Trek, it's not something that interests me. But, I do live and breathe tvtropes, so I've heard this one before.
My understanding is that Captain Picard was being held captive by some nasties, who were torturing him unto the breaking point to try to get his mind pliable. Their test was that they would flash four lights, and force him to believe there were five.
Captain Picard manages to resist to an extent, even insists there are only four lights. But later on, he admits, in a quiet despair, that at one point, his mind tricked him into seeing five despite his protestations.
Kind of depressing.

I thought this thread was based on the "how many lights are there" meme. You and Wulfie say there are four, not three, not five, but FOUR. And when I point out that you got the details wrong, you say I'm quibbling.
So you're just coming right out and admitting that it really doesn't matter if someone says there are three, four, five, nine, a eleventy-billion lights, none of that matters?
Is that what you're saying?
Or you insinuating that when FauxNews gets the facts and details wrong, they're being "truthy"? Like how when you get things spectacularly wrong, you're not "lying", but if anyone else gets the tiniest thing off by a bit, they're blatantly lying?
Is that your message in this?
You keep insisting that you're completely right, but you've been shown to be completely wrong twice in two posts. So if we're to believe you're "completely" anything, we have to believe that you're completely full of crap.

Jean Luc Picard accurately states that there are 4 lights.
The tormentors tried to make him think there were 5 lights.
Much as the MSM tries to tell the public ( minus the painful use of torture ) that what we SEE isn't what we really see.
That's pretty much the message here. Sorry it doesn't register w/ your feeble mind, Kwickie.
Now, back to your crayons and coloring book.

That's particularly hilarious, coming from someone who can't reliably count to five!
