At best it’s being unnecessarily deceptive.  

Considering they got at least one fact wrong and missed by several days, and got called out by the WH….it’s looking like lying to me…

If your boss asks you if your team will  have finished the PowerPoint by the meeting, and you ask them and they say we are close, so you check with others involved and they all say it is almost done and you report back that the team will have a PowerPoint at the next meeting...is that a lie?  You reported back what you were told by multiple sources.

If he asks, before the meeting, to see it and finds out it is not 100% finished yet did you lie?  

A lie would be reporting the election was stolen because of the manufacturers of the voting machines when you know for a fact that is not true at all but you keep repeating it.

Not all reporting will be 100% correct, even with the best sources.

I agree there is a rush to "be first", that has been going on for decades now, but the fact that they are getting to ready to vote on the deal a few days later does not make this a lie.

Comparing a deal implying two opposites factions in WAR and human beings involved to a Powerpoint in a meeting is so on point ...

Congrats for this condensed diplomatic lesson.

Hey Luvnit,


Fox News claimed the car that exploded at the Rainbow Bridge was filled with explosives and driven by terrorist. Turns out it was a husband and wife drivng their $300,000 Bentley and who were involved in an accident.

Was that a lie or simply trusting their source?

They would have loved it so much ... Next time maybe ? 

Who cares to be honest, the important thing is to blame Biden. They don't give a damn about facts, like their viewers.

They might lie on daily basis, they are better people than us. And God is on their side.

I view most of his threads as a mixture of free unintentional comedy and sadness.

Not sure how many here are old enough to remember the old ''Keyboard Warrior'' website in the pioneer days of the internet. Every single time he starts a new thread, I picture the old Klaxon page. From about 25 years ago . . .

Hamas and Israel reached a 4 days ceasefire with the help of Qatar, USA and Egypt.

Sounds like the HUGE lie wasn't that huge ...

The Powerpoint finally reached the boss's desk.

at least the WAPO reporter was pretty accurate in his too early story.  The Fox News guy...not so much

Yeah, I was being facetious with the second line in my post. Like....I can't wait for the OP's response. The explanation is gonna be full of some mind wizardry, I'm sure. No one admits when they are wrong anymore. Just come up with some BS.

He'll not respond to the original post being entirely wrong, but share Foxx's new spin or just make another hysteria thread.  gotta move on to the next propaganda.

Thirteen Israelis were released today, as well as twelve Thai and one Filipino. I haven't seen anything on the identity of the Israelis released. I'm betting it's going to be older people and children.

It was mostly older women and children with the mothers of the children included and the middle aged daughters of a couple of the older ladies.

Apparently, there is a large number of Thai migrant workers who were taken hostage.  Thai citizens were the second largest group after Israelis

As I suspected, and feared.  I'm increasingly convinced that none of the young women taken will ever be returned alive.  Not to say I'm not thrilled for the people who were released.

There are reasons beyond just the ones you are thinking of. With Israeli conscription laws, young women are likely to be joining the fight against Hamas and so they would be lower on the list to release.

Yes, that occurred to me as well.  Sadly, I do not think it is a primary, or even secondary, reason for the fact that none of them have been released.  I highly doubt anyone taken hostage would be required to get back to active service anytime soon.  I would think they'd go required to go through extensive psychological counseling before being allowed to resume active duty wartime service.  Unless the need was dire, of course.

Unfortunately, some media will react like this was something great. Like you, I'm glad for those released, but I honestly don't see this as anything short of an insult.

You may be right, but I think with the current state of Israeli affairs, I'll lean towards your last sentence as the approach.  I feel they desperately want to end this thing quickly and permanently. I'm surprised their was any negotiating or any cease fire at all. The longer this war lasts, the weaker Israel seems. For a country surrounded by Muslims who want to see them destroyed, this doesn't work in their favor at all.

There are more releases to come so lets not jump to any conclusions quite yet.
