If we cannot believe Wikipedia’s damning assessment of The Gateway Pundit as a fake news site, are we also to disregard the following?

Facebook’s struggle with Gateway Pundit highlights challenge of containing disinformation

The Gateway Pundit, a far-right news site, has used its Facebook page - with more than 630,000 followers - to post bogus stories alleging the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump. Some commenters responded with threats of violence.

Referring to a grouping of links for support of ones viewpoint or social/political stance is a stale and easily abused technique.
Anyone who wishes to support their " I am more well informed than you" style of thinking can be found readily regardless of political affiliation.
Cause' if its on the internet it must be true.
Yet another reason I was glad to see the moderator dump all the petty and childlike political bickering in here...it has no end.

The one point of guidance, as always, and my favorite reply because in supports accuracy 99.99% of the time, when in doubt, as the Kiwi said,
Follow The Money.

I don't have any dogs in this fight
But I find it very disconcerting when the mainstream media do not report on something that we know is happening
And deliberately try to scare you with things of lesser importance !!???
 
Follow the money!!! Absolutely. What happened to the track side hot box sensors? Probably not working due to cost cutting of maintenance. They are supposed to be every 8 to 10 miles.

My Masonic Lodge brother, a retired RR engineer, tells me they were "bootlegging " the cars carrying toxic materials. These were, by regulation, to be moved by special trains limited to 50 cars or less, subject to hazardous material speed limits and other regulations. Obviously, slipping them into a train carrying non hazardous commodities, is a money saving tactic, which in this case, backfired, and may result in financial death of the company.

Makes me wonder if warren buffet might use this opportunity to buy back his interest in NS? Not a cause by any stretch but a possible consequence. I thought we did away with the railroad robber/barons in the late 1800s?

Speaking of Warren Buffet .... I wonder if he was influential in the cancelation of the pipeline to move Canadian oil south. Supposedly, the cancelation was over environmental concerns, but rather than a pipeline, Buffet's Burlington Northern is moving that oil. A nice chunk of business for Buffet, but more risky for the environment.

Which is exactly why the ruling class has allowed these industries (and JOBS) to be shipped overseas to places that don't care and we can't see. Rather than take the long view and do whats best for our country they have sold their souls for campaign contributions and graft. We will never again be the great arsenal of democracy or the shining city on the hill. How many critical defense resources, not to mention critical manufacturing machinery and capacity, do we depend on from foreign suppliers now?
 
A massive amount of very dangerous chemicals are shipped via rail every day. At my last job we had required training videos to watch and the one that frightened me the most was on loading and unloading rail cars of hydrochloride acid. Man! That stuff is dangerous, reactive and subject to changes brought on by heat or cold. They showed some burns suffered from this stuff and it's horrible.

Adding news links to a discussion already containing news links, in a segment of the conversation discussing the accuracy of those news links would appear reasonably legitimate.

Using ‘Cause’ if it’s on the internet it must be true’ as a rebuke for those with a slightly more ‘mainstream view’ is an interesting proposition!;)
