2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Thom Hartmann asks: "Who's Lying, BLM or Hillary Clinton?" [View all]Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)130. I have had a lot of jury calls
most are not worth an alert and are dismissed, usually 6-1. Some people just do not like another point of view and see things in their protected group bubble. One of the reasons I accept jury requests. I have to admit at times it can be hard if I disagree with the person alerted on but I do my best to be faithful and honest.

How better to promote Hillary v5.0? Not a bad strategy - can't let facts interfere with their version of the "truth."

My guess is that some see what they feel is a false story that needs a response to correct it...
