Well, I don't know much about this 'vermin' stuff you seem to mention regularly; however, I do read newspapers (or their online versions) daily.
My favs are The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post.
And from them and their differing views I think I am relatively well-informed.
To be sure, there are many other sources ..., often just online, often occasional, often just something that catches my eye......and all of those also feed into my communications inputs.
As far as this "parroting" stuff that you seem to dwell upon ---- well, what I do often enough is repeat reportage that I have read that I find cogent, relevant, and insightful.
I do that because I cannot be everywhere, all places, all of the time.....hence I need to rely upon others---often professional journalists --- whos reportage seems credible to me.
Now, more specifically, the OP of this thread. The insights offered by a columnist about the convictions of leaders of the Proud Boys --- I found that germane and informative to the more 'just-the-facts' reportage that was hot that day as the jury came in with a guilty verdict.
And from that perspective, my offering those insights to the forum as context for the 'just-the-facts' reportage had value.
Of course, I am quite content to let you, poster 'miketx', and all other posters and lurkers of this chatboard be the judge of that.
That's the way chatboards work.
IMHO

Poster, you seem somewhat angry and hostile in much of your commentary to the USMessageBoard.
Ofttimes with what seems very little provocation.
Are you OK, Mike?
