I'm a little older, cranky, stiff set, and could probably ALMOST challenge Herb on that.  Keep up the good work here.

Most that have brought up the subject of the yellow announcements, agree with me. My approach to attempting to stay unbiased is to listen and let others initiate.
The yellow announcement of members re joining is old hat, something to wade through in the ads, and just give the appearance to more regular members as being Nothing other than fluff and fill to make AM look bigger and badder. They don't count toward the daily quantity of ads posted. HOWever, the Feature ads for Purchase are desired by most that go into that detail. Those that pay for a feature ad often comment on the snuffing aspect caused by the overpowering 'abuse' aspect of AM self posting yellow list. Those that DON'T buy the Feature ads comment on just skipping the whole list, largely due to the overpowering 'abuse' aspect of AM self posting yellow list. (the word 'abuse' had been volunteered more than once)    This is just a suggested thing to consider as appropriate to this string.  Newbies have brought up the yellow membership announcements as kinda nice, then the fecal material hits the circular aerator pretty quick.

I tried.

Commenting here CHAS eh, not that it was particularly helpful. Hope you liked the wording, or is that more a ROLO thing? You two get me crossed up, both older cranky stubborn close minded...
Pass on the reply above if you liked it. Let me know. I'm pretty much done here.

1. Replying with " that has been this way for years" is pretty bad considering that AM has been falling behind for years on it's top of the classifieds ladder.....
Make the relation

2. There are lots of things. They ad up. They can all be belittled to a show of head in the sand.

3. Specifics at hand: General approach is to Go to AM, Click the classifieds, Go to bottom of left column, Click view all,  wade through yellow highlight stuff. AM knows that, you honestly think AM announcements are made to hide in the MISC. postings? I went there, who's going there just to see that! It gets deeper but done here...

4. Typing is not my forte. The attention to technical issues has been exemplary. The other side of the coin has me busy with running some land solo. I have to prioritize and I'm done here all things considered.  put in your last comment, I'm sure you'll make it a good one from AM side.  I won't be making a point to bother now.  good luck.

Well, that's a flat out lie, and it doesn't surprise me that the left would propagate that lie.  Donald Trump has never called "all" news outlets except Fox News as Fake.

When Donald Trump called out CNN as Fake news, the rest of the leftist press lied and said that he called the press "fake" which he never did.  He called CNN Fake news, but don't let facts get in the way of your demagoguery.  

BTW, I didn't realize that Donald Trump is the Central Gov't.  When did that happen?  I've always been under the notion that we live in a Representive Republic, and that is evident from the fact that the current minority party is 100 against Donald Trump.  So how is this gov't a "central gov't run by Trump" as you've implied?  Can you please explain, because I call that out as complete nonsense.  Not one person's freedom of speech has been taken away by Trump and neither has he shut down one news outlet, so IMO your entire premise is utterly absurd.  

There are dozens if not hundred of news outlets that he didn't call "fake". He was specific and he always is when speaking about this.  He didn't call Reuters fake news, he didn't call Fox fake news, he didn't call ABC fake news, he didn't call CBS fake news, he didn't call NPR fake news, he didn't call the Washington Times fake news, he didn't call the Associated Press fake news.

Therefore your statement above when you say "by falsely accusing that all media", should be taken as you've offered it, not true.

I can point to the most recent lie by CNN as evidence of what Donald Trump is talking about and that is the LIE that Lanny Davis offered over the weekend which he not only walked back, but he admitted that what he said was a lie.  

He claimed that Michael Cohen his client, would tell the world that he was present in the room when Donald Trump was told about the infamous Trump Tower meeting.  Trump has claimed that he had no prior knowledge about that meeting.  It was then reported that Michael Cohen did NOT have any knowledge about Trump knowing about the meeting. 

Lanny Davis then went on "news" outlets to tell the world that what he stated earlier was false, and confirmed that he was CNN's anonymous source for that false report by CNN.  

Yet CNN refused to correct their lies and to date hasn't admitted that their reporting was false.

That's called making it up as you go along and the fact that CNN is not retracting their reporting shows just how irresponsible they are
