  1. Depends what you consider legitimate. Every news source has a conservative or liberal slant. It doesn't mean they're not legitimate, but you just have to be aware of what you're reading and how they might be shaping the information they present. NYT and Wash Post are heavily biased to be liberal. Washington Post especially is the most left-wing mainstream publication in North America. Vice is another source heavily biased to the left. In Canada, you've got the Sun chain and to a lesser extent National Post who are conservative, and then basically everyone else is liberal, some more than others. The National Post was originally intended to be conservative but these days is more towards the centre or even a little to the left depending on the day. I find them pretty balanced in general. The far-right barely exists in Canada, or at least doesn't have much of a voice. Then you have an outlet like Breitbart who is trying to achieve credibility but is basically a white nationalist publication. Or the so-called "Alt-Right".
  2. Are you familiar with Pizzagate and what it is/was? Because if you are then I don't understand your questions because the answers are obvious. So you'll either have to read up on Pizzagate, be more pointed and specific with your questions, or withdraw from the conversation.
  3. Special teams with reps at strong safety
  4. Hate to be a downer but expecting any top free agent to come to Winnipeg is still a pipe dream unfortunately. At least until we start winning consistently (talking year-by-year, not game-by-game). Is it possible? Sure. So is winning the Super 7 jackpot.
  5. Tell that to Carl Winslow
  6. Wanted to see Arrival when it first came out but I'd forgotten about it. I'll try to find it and watch it. The trailers looked good.
  7. Why break up the Armia line when they have been so effective? And you have a former 20 and 30 goal scorer making 4 mil on the fourth line? He made the obvious decision that any rational person would, and moved up Stafford.

    UFC

    Hunt will never win this case. No chance. To think that he could take on the UFC and win is laughable, especially in light of the fact that Lesnar never tested positive for PEDs. He tested positive for a substance that probably means he was using steroids but "probably" doesn't usually fly in court.
  9. Can you imagine if every news outlet simply forwarded on every unsubstantiated tip and report that came in? BuzzFeed already has no integrity or credibility as a legitimate news source so I'm not surprised they did it. But it just seems absurd to me to publish this with ZERO corroboration. I mean NONE. That's not right. I also think this is very different from something like Pizzagate. Pizzagate was always just theories. I was very confused when it became lumped in with all the "fake news", because to me it wasn't really fake news at all. It was crackpot theories based off legitimate sources and to me that's not what fake news is. Fake news is "Hilary Clinton spotted at satanic ritual!"... you know, outright lies passed off as fact.
  10. Kinda hard to watch knowing that it basically ended his career but I can't believe NJPW uses the same ring set-up seen here. The potential for catastrophe seems huge.
  11. Yes they did say that and you could also see that Saw was more "ruthless" than the typical Good guys when the pilot was initially captured. I thought Whitaker's lines were really forced and not convincing. In particular when he rescued the girl in the beginning and said "Come my child" and when he thought she was coming to kill him. I get that he was supposed to be kinda crazy at that point but I just didn't really "get" the character as a whole. And I like Forest Whitaker, I have no problem with him in other movies. Just thought I would mention it because it really stood out to me in a bad way. I haven't read many reviews so not sure if others share my opinion. Overall loved the movie.
  12. Watching Roslovic in the World Juniors and just can't help but think the Kane trade gets better for the Jets by the day. Kane and Bogo ain't doing **** in Buffalo.
  13. I had Barb Wire trading cards when I was a kid
  14. What position does he play?
  15. Loved the movie but thought Forrest Whitaker was garbage
  16. He's an expensive 3rd pairing D but we also have two guys on rookie salaries on the top forward line and we're not close to the cap so I wouldn't worry about that. Might be more worried about Stafford on the 4th line if we're talking salary structure.
  17. So I said to the guy, "You can kiss my asphalt!!"
  18. Omega as a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble? Worked for AJ Styles. Omega is definitely a bit of a nerd, no question there. Along the lines of a Xavier Woods (who has used a couple of Omega's more unique moves in the last year). But that kind of personality works with the current fanbase in WWE. He would be huge. WWE is hurting for main event level stars. There are 4 main event guys on RAW and 3 on Smackdown. Can't have the same guys fighting each other every week (which is what they've been doing since the split).
  19. Sports reporting is a hobby, not a career.
  20. Fine I will, suck it jerk
  21. It has become obvious what Hellebuyck is. An excellent positional goalie with limited athletic talent. He gets roasted up high and in the NHL they shoot to score. The scouting report is out on Hellebuyck and everyone knows it now. I'll gladly accept your apology halfway into the season when you realize I was right.
  22. Time to bring back Pavelec, I long for the days when we had a goalie with a save percentage above .900. I was dead wrong about Hellebuyck, he will never be an NHL starting goalie. He is young though so that might give us a boost in the standings. That's how it works right?
  23. Except Clinton's transgressions come while acting as an authority of the state which really should be far more alarming to anyone. She's broke the law before while in power, she obviously knows very well how to do it and get away with it, and that's pretty scary to me.
  24. Or how about the FBI exec who was investigating Clinton whose wife just so happened to get a huge cash gift from the Clintons at the same time? Just a coincidence I suppose. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/10/mcauliffe-aided-wife-of-fbi-official-handling-clinton-probe.html
  25. And how about the trial for Clinton accepting cash from foreign countries like Saudi Arabia to her campaign? Oh wait she doesn't have to face any sort of trial for that. Her answer in the debate? "Well yeah lots of dirty money has flowed into the Clinton foundation but look at all the good it's done." Sorry but it doesn't work like that. Can't use a portion of illegally obtained money for good causes and then say everything is okay.
