It's not great. It's just better than everything else that exists unfortunately.
WSJ. You might not agree with the opinion page but the front page is excellent unbiased reporting.
Twaddle. You're just pissed that on the opinion page they criticize BOTH Trump and Biden. But it doesn't bleed over to the front page
I'm reminded of this Palestinian man who was interviewed after his 12 year-old daughter had been shot and killed by what he said was an Israeli soldier. When asked how he could blame America he said that the killer had an American-supplied weapon with American-supplied ammunition, wore an American made uniform, and was trained by Americans.
We already knew where Israel got the bombs and the planes.
A bit too general of a statement. All of Twitter, no. But every major news source and their writers report though Twitter, making it the best source there is imo.
Maybe. Just maybe. The majority of campus are sick of a small group of agitators bringing in outside criminals to further disrupt their college experience. They are disrupting classes, cafeterias, libraries and now graduations. Imagine paying full tuition to deal with all that and then they ruin your graduation. Plus they are hurting the school’s reputation. So now the majority is standing up to this. And what’s the complaint? Racism. It’s not acceptable. But I think we all have to recognize how all of a sudden it’s not first amendment protected or considered against the unwritten rules of protests. We have had months of antisemitism all over campuses from students and faculty. As one regular poster on here put it - it’s free speech and it can only be countered with better speech. There has been zero enforcement of hate speech policies, how can any administration enforce it now? It is, however, interesting you chose to post this clip from a campus many miles away. Yet, you did not post the video of the Rutgers student yelling towards Jews that “Hitler would have loved you.”

That's an awful lot of inferences you made about the situation at Ole Miss and me. At least half of those are wrong.
I'll condem them both and prefer neither.
You may be right. Perhaps I should have asked the purpose of that post. Can you explain how it fits this thread and what the point is?
No surprise here. When one group of crazies is allowed to carry on with little consequence, the counter-crazies come out in force.
Joey Bags nailed it immediately above. I condone neither side. Probably an impossible ask, but perhaps they should sit at a table and engage in constructive dialogue and perhaps they may find some common ground.
Ole Miss should absolutely investigate that racist clown
That type of behavior has no place in society, and is absolutely disgusting. Anyway you look at it.
Moreover, that completely overshadows the counter protest, and patriotism that was shown on the campus
Similar to my gripes with the Palestinian protesters who did not speak out against the bad apples, I wish the counter protesters in Oxford who were singing the national anthem would speak out against this racist and vile behavior

It was the other alum in that area weirdly obsessed with her I guess lol
For the people who dont have a functioning brain this Saturday morning, can you please translate this into English??
She is a f*#×ing idiot and I'll leave it at that.
The intent was to disrupt exams and they stated they would not leave until their demands were met. Sounds like a threat to me.
Do you not understand how protests work?
Maybe google MLK Jr, Stonewall, Boston Tea Party...etc
Look - somebody's mom gave them more tablet time!
Get off your high horse.
Your detractors have the highest regard for their version of the first amendment's freedom of speech rights and object to you and your kind abusing it.
The conservative American First Amendment rights allow you to express their point of view, anything else is a traitorous/criminal act that needs to be suppressed so people won't hear the truth, just hear what the conservatives can claim is the truth.
Remember when a conservative lies, it's not a lie but just their expressing an alternative fact that they want accepted rather than going by the true fact that doesn't support what they want you to think.
Disruptions are not protected by the first amendment. Tinker test is pretty clear with that.
Its threat in the sense to disrupt the education of others. Not necessarily violent. But no different than any other interference in someone else’s education.
They have a choice and a responsibility not to bring it here.
Unless you think someone is holding a knife to their throat demanding they post.
Is protesting protected by the First Amendment?
The First Amendment protects your right to assemble and express your views through protest.
The Constitution protects “the right of the people to peaceably assemble.” So while protesting is a time-honored practice in the United States, the operative word is “peaceably.” The Supreme Court has noted that a protest can be shut down if it is associated with “violence and intimidation.” Furthermore, the government can regulate the time, place, and manner in which a protest is conducted.
During the civil rights era, peaceful protesters were arrested and some were beaten because what they were protesting about wasn't wanted by many people ( including powerful government officials) and they were denied the right to protest their cause by claiming their protest was illegal under the law and even if the protesters were peaceful, they were denied the right to protest and arrested like they were committing a criminal act.
Laws can be used to deny rights as well as protect them.

Totally agree
As the Protestors who hurled anti semitic slurs…this Jack ass should be held equally accountable
Exclusive | Rutgers forces Jewish BBQ off campus after giving into anti-Israel encampment’s demands
Rutgers University refused to let a Jewish group hold a pro-Israel barbecue on the Vorhees Mall, despite allowing pro-terror protesters to camp there for days, emails show.

Absolutely, none of that is acceptable in society and should be universally condemned
Right, but the antisemetic comments won't be
Probably not, but two wrongs don’t make a right
Regardless, people should be above that kind of nonsense on both sides of the aisle in this day and age
I hope it’s not the case, but that kid can and likely will be doxed, and could essentially have his life messed up at an early age for a poor decision
Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, as it could be a learning lesson for everybody involved, and things seem to be pretty peaceful there all things considered as both sides were expressing their views without any incidents
