    So let me get this straight. Fox News made a mistake. They owned it, corrected it and apologized. How dare they!
    First time for everything I guess.
    People who think a movie about plastic dolls is trying to turn their kids gay or trans are now officially known as

    Barbie Q’s

    I suppose that you might post something without being snarky.

    They didn't make anything up and then fail to correct the record. What's the big deal? Fox News showing how a correction is supposed to be made? Ok.
    It took them over six hours to apologize and only then after being shamed on social media.

    Got that right! Manafort and Cohen guilty within minutes of each other.

    No, not "touchy."

    Just aware.

    More specifically, aware of the fact that you are consistently snarky. (You cannot really debate, in any meaningful sense of the word; you can merely sling mud.)

    Suck it up, Buttercup.

    Six whole hours?

    That seems pretty quick to me.

    Agent Zero,

    Your definition of "illiberal" (where it came from, I have no idea) is interesting.

    The Merriam-Webster online dictionary--in its second definition of "liberal"--says, "noting or pertaining to a political party advocating measures of progressive political reform."

    The fact that you would tout progressivism--which is just another word for liberalism--rather begs the question, I think.
