including Italy, North Atlantic and Russia. Each played a part in the defeat of Hitler


While D Day was mentioned it was not the main nor any other degree of the topic pointed out by the OP. Perhaps your inability to read caused you to v**e for the wrong person in 2016. May I suggest you go back and reread the post.

Have a wonderful day,

Dennis

Excellent writing. People also need to research the start of the Democratic Party as we know it today. It got it's greatest boost in California during the McCarthy period.

Detailed Report
Reasoning: Extreme Right, Conspiracy, Propaganda, Lack of Ownership T***sparency
Country: USA
World Press Freedom Rank: USA 45/180

History

American Thinker is a conservative news and opinion blog, founded in 2003 by Thomas Lifson (He writes frequently for the conspiracy site The Liberty Beacon) and Health Care consultant Richard Baehr (he also writes frequently for PJ Media, Jewish Policy Center, and Israel Hayom). Both Liftson and Baehr are Kenyon Collage Alumni. According to an interview with Richard Baehr, he originally launched the website as a forum: “I think we have one of the most thoughtful online forums out there,” Thomas Lifson is currently the Editor and Publisher of the site.

Funded by / Ownership

The American Thinker does not disclose who owns the website. The website is funded through donations and online ads, as well as offering an “ad-free experience for a small fee.”

Analysis / Bias

American Thinker consist of two sections, one is articles and the other one is blog. You can check out their archives Here.

In review, American Thinker uses strong emotionally loaded language in their headlines such as: “The Most Memorable L*****t Hypocrisies of 2017-8”. This article is authored by Robert Oscar Lopez who writes with extremely biased language: “The left is composed of horrible people. Most sane people realize this, even if they have friends on the dark side.” Another article with loaded wording is this one: “The Great Depression of 2019?” Although, they utilize credible sources such as thebalance.com, CNBC, New York Times, The Guardian and factually mixed sources such as LifeZette, Wall Street Journal, Human Events.com, they also utilize questionable sources to back their claims, such as Breitbart and non-credible conservative blogs such as michaelsavage.com.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, American Thinker has published Anti-L**T articles, as well as those by prominent white nationalist, Jared Taylor. Further, American Thinker routinely publishes conspiracy theories, such as those by Pamela Geller, who is also on the SPLC’s h**e watch list due to anti-Islam positions: Report: Obama said ‘I Am a Muslim’, which has been debunked as a false claim. They have also promoted conspiracies about the Seth Rich Murder and they have published numerous articles that are not supportive of the consensus of science, such as this one: The H**x of ‘C*****e C****e’

A factual search reveals a few failed fact checks.

President Obama secretly signaled solidarity to African leaders at the White House using a Muslim hand gesture known as the ‘Shahada.’ – FALSE
The state of New Jersey is currently conducting, or plans to conduct, house-to-house confiscations of banned high-capacity gun magazines. – FALSE
Overall, we rate the American Thinker, Questionable based on extreme right wing bias, promotion of conspiracy theories/p***********e, use of poor sources and failed fact checks. (7/18/2016) (M. Huitsing 1/1/2019)

The author left out the 8th stratagem, which you've aptly provided an example of here;

8) Always use Ad Hominem attacks where you can't dispute the facts of an argument.

Not at all, I point out the well documented biased propaganda of this notorious site.

Ad Hominem would be ... "You're a giddy reenactor."

I judge writings based on it's content, I do not prejudge that content based on the color of the paper it's written on.

Pretty much the same as I judge people. Sorry if that concept confuses you.

Right, thus your initial response in this thread with your Ad Hominem attack on the source of the piece instead of any comment on the material presented in the original post.

Think of it as another attempt on your part to waste our time. It was a well written and true piece. The fact you don't agree simply makes you a Liberal.
