Please tell me that you do not hold paper from UM.
Please tell me you don’t believe everything the media tells you.

Well sourced and from a credible news source, you bet. That’s why quality newspapers are vital for a strong democracy. They work to provide transparency and uncover the truth. Kinda like, Lux et Veritas. Ring any bells?

Nope, I had to google. Like I told PR, my uneducatedness shows sometimes. Please share with me who are these credible news sources you know of because lately I have lost all trust in the media. Maybe your sources might reawaken my belief that Mark Twain’s and Dave Berry’s still exist out there.

Jesus, Bama, you hit me with two of my heroes. Twain and Berry are hard to beat. There are a lot of really good journalists out there that take their craft very seriously. Here are some of my favorites based on pure news coverage. Opinion departments aside.
Newspapers: NY Times, Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post are recognized as the best papers in America. Lots of other great ones but sadly they are now mostly limited to major cities.
Magazines: The Economist, The Net Yorker, The Atlantic.
Best World Reporting: BBC. I learn something new every time I open their website.
Best investigative Journalism: ProPublica, The Center for Public Integrity, Frontline (PBS).
Best TV News: The Newshour (PBS)—a great escape from cable news providers.
I’m sure I have left a lot out, feel free to add to this list.

As far as Lux et Veritas, I’m still pissed that Yale stole our motto back in 1746. f###[#]!

Didn’t take much to beat 0-19 Idaho in basketball either....how’d that turn out?
Brother Bear said:Speaking of Fall football..... Alabama planning for capacity crowds, 100,000+ people...
What will Missoula County Health allow in Missoula... :roll:

It'll likely still be deemed way too dangerous in Montana if the health departments get their way. After all there will be new very scary variants, the vaccine will only barely protect the vulnerable, and the rate of people uninfected will sadly go down from 99.87% to probably 99.79%....
Is this a risk you are willing to take? Seems far too dangerous to me.

I love it. More schools need to follow suit and get on with it. Everyone was too scared to be the first. Maybe with 'Bama doing this all the rest will follow. Those that are too fearful of large groups can just as easily watch from the safety of their living rooms. :thumb:alabamagrizzly said:ilovethecats said:It'll likely still be deemed way too dangerous in Montana if the health departments get their way.

Alabama football is the “be all and end all” down here.
I agree. That does explain a lot. Yeesh!tourist said:Ursa Major said:Jesus, Bama, you hit me with two of my heroes. Twain and Berry are hard to beat.

It sure does.
It explains why I wear a mask
It explains why I believe in science
It explains why I’ll take the advice of experts in a field seriously.
It explains why I don’t believe that the press is the ‘enemy of the people’.
It explains why I understand how vital a strong and free press is in a democracy.
It explains why I understand the history and importance of the 4th Estate (look it up, I’ll wait) to the development of western civilization.
It explains why I didn’t believe bogus lies and conspiracy theories about an election.
It also explains why I didn’t join a mob or defecate in our nation’s Capitol Building on January 6th.
It explains why I don’t believe in QAnon or that Trump will become the ‘17th President’ tomorrow.
It’s why I will trust a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist’s article over a Facebook post by a guy named Stew from Sioux Falls.
