re: "Conspiracies"

Description

I implore people to practice objectivity, that means looking at issues from more than one side. You send me 8 links to YouTube, all from the conservative point of view, and you expect to (1) watch them all, spending my precious little Wednesday evening time watching news and talking heads (something I hate doing regardless of their political views, trustworthiness, or intent) (2) to take it at face value and not question it. Humor me, if I were to do that, would that not make me a "sheeple"? If I were to only watch conservative news and believe it unequivocally, would that not make me a "sheeple"? I'm a cable cutter of 10 years, for the record. If I want to know about something I'll dig deep into it online. I *read*. I do not *watch*. Why are conservatives so quick to link YouTube videos? Why is that your best evidence? Why isn't there good reading material that is well sourced and well referenced? These are things that occur to me when making a decision on what to believe. Edit: To the other guy: You brought up the Russia Probe, not me! Presumably it was your attempt to say "well the dems had a conspiracy so whataboutthat?" I attempted to respond to it, and you only looked for cracks in my argument, not for strengths. Where as I gave you the benefit of the doubt. This conversation is going in circles because you misrepresent the chat history and put words in my mouth. Not terribly interested in continuing. I'm actually pretty flexible with meeting people in the middle, but when you go hard right (or hard left for that matter) you're not going to sway anyone. You don't budge because you're just too biased and too far down the rabbit hole...
