Pis'ton Broke ... I'll put it a little more directly then so you'll get it my point..
Trump is the catalyst for the radicalized extremists to misguidedly justify trying to kill people all over the place for their crazy Islamic ideals that 99.9% of moderate Muslims are horrified by..Trump's targeting of all travelers from the countries involved is like saying every catholic priest is a pedophile ..and of course they're not.... The counter terrorist expert commented that the extremists are saying already that the election of Trump was all they needed and prayed for. If the transcript is available...Read it if it becomes available... This fool within a week alienates places based purely on supposition that incoming people from there may have terrorist agendas purely because they lived in a Muslim country . That's as dumb and fascist and racist as you can get. AND..then carries on about preference to Christians...double dumb and I'm Catholic.. The USA hasn't learned it's lesson.. Last time they supposed that terrorists were at play in Iraq , we went in to look for WMD's..Didn't exist..Then people including an Aussie was accused of being in with a terror cell...Also false after a long time incarcerated in Guantonemo Bay.. US soldiers , Aussies , Brits , Canadians , French ..etc etc..innocent Iraqi's and Afghans died on premise, flawed intel , falsehoods and stupidity.. I wouldn't trust American self serving intelligence as far as I could kick them and you go crook about the ABC.. HAVE A PROPER LOOK... Last edited by roddy1960; 30-01-2017 at 10:18 PM. |

Can you recommend where we should go for accurate reporting of the news?

Very hard to get real news these days amongst the biased / fake news. You asked, so here are some useful sources, In Australia, The best of a very very BAD lot. The Australian Newspaper The Andrew Bolt Report The Sydney Daily Telegraph ( some balance ) In The USA, Fox News Reuters News Service In Europe ( No mainstream European newspaper due to censorship ) Sputnik News Service ( This site covers the whole world ) Some Israeli on line news papers Youtube ( with caution and brain in gear ) Bare Naked Islam ( a good site to find out Muslim progress in the Western World )

Do you ever have anything intelligent to say or add to a discussion ? Perhaps the line under your Forum name says it all. PS I did have a look at that site, looks OK, not the worst one I have seen.

Racist? Total Muslim ban? None of the 7 countries involved make it into the top-ten of the highest populated Muslim Countries. Obama does it - Nobel Peace Prize and standing ovations globally, wherever and whenever. Trump follows through with his campaign promises - Buffoon, Fool, Idiot, racist, serial groper, Liar, moron, bigot, Xenophobe, misogynist..... |

Why would they need to justify trying to kill more people as per the guidelines of their religion when it's something that has been happening for so long? Where are you getting this 99.9% moderate Muslims stat from? How do you define "moderate"? Quote:

Even funnier, get this, the Obama administration deported over 2.5 million immigrants from 2009 onwards...yet not outcry, not even a whimper! Surely people can see a trend here, surely by now, you can at least, just a tiny tiny bit see that you might have been deceived all these years even just a tiny bit, all those memes and virtue signalling you have been partaking on Facebook and those memes you've been reading and liking (no, loving!) on Facebook might just be a tiny bit fictitious/fallacious. Oh and yeh both sides do it, actually all sides do it, Trump can be a master at it, but just don't make it a one sided hypocritical affair, division is in the air and it's mostly coming from one side.....interesting times.

I'll start with a gentle reminder that personal attacks and insults will not be tolerated. You can debate an issue or point of view vigorously but as soon as it deteriorates into personal retorts then I will start handing out warnings.
Cheers Russ

![]() I find the best neutral source of news in Australia is news from outside Australia. So BBC World, Deutsche Vella and Aljazeera. If I watch local news it will most likely be ABC News 24. Last edited by FairmontGS; 31-01-2017 at 08:19 AM. |

This. A veteran of the news and journalistic trade once told me that if you want to find out what's happening in your own country, watch/read the overseas services' reporting about local events. This he said, was simply due to far less bias and agenda being involved.

I find Al Jazeera to be really good but also use BBC World frequently. I spend about two to three hours media watching each day because of my job and these two i consider as the most reliable. It's funny how we think something here is big news and it's not even on the radar in world news. Interesting how much Americans are protesting when their president is just doing what he said he would, it's not like it's a surprise. Also those criticising the current immigration bans should do some reading first before coming here and going off. Look back to 2011 and the Obama administration and what they did. Also have a look at the numbers that the Obama administration deported. But everyone loves a good bandwagon right? Im neither for or against Trump, but man i love seeing all these lefties so up in arms while the right just sits and grins. |

Trump managed to say a lot of things in the election campaign, sometimes quite outrageous and then would pivot away. It was like he was casting a net to hook people with "out there" view and then moderating those statements in order for more centrists to say "He wouldn't do that" Just have a look at things he has said to see he is all over the place. The "Muslim" ban being the same as Obama is misrepresentation as well. A sliver of truth then a big jump in spin. They are not the same at all.

The challenge for you is to read things that do not enforce your view of the world. IMO this is where you and others both left and right come unstuck. You wind up in a echo chamber of your own beliefs and biases...

The problem with your suggestion is that "facts" and "logic" get in the way.

Singapore , yep Big Country eh ...\ why . what is Australia afraid of ?? my father warned me of this in 1963 ..[he was special forces in those days ..] i do expect a backlash to this post ,, but , the Truth hurts .. i worked in Malaysia in in 1989 , in construction [Penjom gold mine ] nightshift superviser , and all the local workers said Aussies are a bunch of limp diks \ they used to show their dismain by putting the hand up , with a finger bent down .. my Father would say , he is glad he is dead ... i personally still love this country , i worry about our Country ,,,, cheers , when ya knock this Post , think ..

I was going to comment on here about Trump but a lot of you would miss the point I'm trying to make so I deleted it, from what I've seen its as bad as Ford vs. Holden, Apple vs. Android, Xbox vs. PS4 etc etc
