Would it be OK to make a separate thread in the General Forum titled: "International political news media & bias" which would be about politics, but specifically about the reliability, accuracy, and bias of certain media sources, and things like the lawfulness of whistleblowing, anonymous sources, etc.

Just asking before I make it so it doesn't get quickly closed for redundancy or whatever.

What's the point?
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

One, because there's currently three politics threads (Europe, USA, Canada) but international news encompasses all three and more. Two, because those threads are mostly for talking about politicians/policies/laws/elections instead of the reliability of media sources.

Could you guys slap KwarK a little so that he stops writing things like

"Not that you'll understand any of this, but that's the issue." ?

This is just not good behavior in discussion, it only works people up and anyone else would likely get warned for it. Condescendingly calling other posters "my friend" and similar attitudes aren't very helpful either.

Because RiK is a alternate reality brick wall that has not moved his opinion an inch in years despite being routinely buried in proof to the contrary.
Saying he won't understand any of it is no longer an opinion, its a fact.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Nope, I personally won't. Kwark's posting overall is extremely informative and his tone is on point most of the time.

That's the standard. Adopt it and see how far you go. Particularly, use this to understand how much ill will returns in the same manner it was sent.

I stand with the recommendation to rein in Kwark some, even if RiK should just be perma-barred from the thread since he never adds anything to it with his nonsense.

PS it's annoying that legal is trolling again. but I guess you've chosen to allow it to happen; the thread would be better if you cut down more on the trolling. it was better when the moderation was tighter.
I'd start my own forum with higher posting quality requirements if there was enough interest, but I've not heard of such a level of interest.
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

A guy completely failed to read my post, quoted parts of it out of context and accused me of trying to prevent the very thing that I said that states could do and all I did in response was called him friend. And RiK is fundamentally incapable of understanding the other point of view because he lives in a reality in which we're all just jealous of Trump's success, charisma and business acumen and want America to be run by Shakira Law. He made a post completely failing to understand the whole Russia scandal and I qualified my response with a concession that it'd not make sense to him.

You guys need to find something better to do with your time. This is fake news, and SAD. The losers in the US politics thread lost so bad they don't even know what to do with themselves.

Seriously, KwarK, I agree with most of the actual points you make on politics (unlike some other topics), but that doesn't change the fact that you behave like a jerk. Your condescending behavior is terrible. These latest posts are just ones in a very long line of you acting like you are naturally better than other people, which simply isn't a good behavior in a society.

Hey Opisska, have you ever met or followed Kwark? Even during his pro career? He always came off as a jerk, but a well informed jerk lol
Life?

I dont even know what was he pro in. I do not dispute that he is well informed, but how does that serve as a free pass to be a jerk? If he contained that side of his a tad better, he would be a great poster to have around any serious topic. But now he just isnt a very good influence for a civilised debate.

disagree, where civilized debate exists he's particularly well suited for the job.

but that's just not where we're at in that thread.

In opisska's defence I'm also unsure exactly what the nature of my pro career was. I mean mostly I'm an accounting pro but I wasn't aware that anyone was following me.

IIRC Kwark was a B-level noob on ICCup back in the day.
