You’re amazed that gays don’t like girls?  You really need to get out more.

"Women have one of the great acts of all time. The smart ones act very feminine and needy, but inside they are real killers. The person who came up with the expression 'the weaker sex' was either very naive or had to be kidding. I have seen women manipulate men with just a twitch of their eye -- or perhaps another body part."

So its not Fake news then? Make up your mind. 

Still 100% valid for me

Make up my mind ? I did. I said it is not news, it is an opinion piece. She is entitled to hers and that doesn't make it true.
You have to know the difference between facts and her opinion.
You are entitled to your perspective of 100% validity, I see her opinion as hogwash.

So what is the difference between an “opinion piece” and the majority of BS “news” we have been seeing for months, exactly?  There is no journalistic integrity nowadays that I can see.  Pretty much anywhere except Al Jazeera.

My opinion is that she is entitled to her opinion while I hold the opinion that her opinion is hogwash. Yep.

I also like PBS and some Deutsche Welle and BBC, Al Jazeera is ok sometimes.
The opinion of the moderator was presented as news and facts by a poster so it was my opinion that it was only an opinion.
You are also welcome to embrace anyone's opinion that may further shape your political perspectives.
I do understand the difference between factual news and opinions very well and I hope you do too and if not then keep trying.

I really don't care what you classify has news or opinion. Her discussion was valid. How YOU see her is again only as important as you see yourself. 

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

You keep quoting me so I am answering you. I do see myself as important. I don't see that specific opinion of her as important nor as fact. You seem confused as to what is factual news and what is an opinion piece and I have no idea why you keep quoting me. 

Feel free to believe what you wish.

Regardless of whether it is “news” or “opinion”, you either agree with it or you don’t.  Just as everyone else does.  You seem blind to the fact that lately, opinions are becoming “news”.  If you repeat it enough, enough people will believe it, and it becomes real.  It happens to all of us, not pointing you out per se.  We all tend to believe both “opinion” and “news” pieces that fit our own personal way of thinking.

I agree with this guy, when I disagree with the news it is fake, it had nothing to do whether it is factual.

Either it is fake, or simply doesn’t support your own personal agenda.  Kinda like that fake news bit posted about voter suppression in WI.  It was believed by the OP, so it became worth sharing.  Even if it was debunked.  But for a minute, it made him feel better.

I am well aware that people take opinion as fact and am not blind to that like you assume.
It is something Trump lives by to stir up his base and they eat it up and lick the plate.
Yes, of course we adopt opinions and we adopt facts, the art of truth is to not mistake anyone's opinion as facts blindly but research and dig deep

from varies sources and see if it turns out factual or not.

I don't need a moderator on TV tell me what to believe, I do my own research from a variety of reputable sources.
I was called out by someone simply for stating that the TV personality spoke out of opinion not factual news.
Here we are still discussing that and I have no idea why, unless that poster thinks I am not entitled to my own opinion if it doesn't fit his agenda.
