Tl;DrReally. Huh. You start a thread titled "skunk like marihuana leads to brain dead hippies says the yellow press". And you link a news source which reported on the London study about pot.
The next link you post is the Forbes article about the same London study about pot. Wherein you claim Forbes is trying to convince us that the study is true, that high potency marijuana causes brain damage, and that by doing so is engaging in right wing propaganda. Which was not the case. Our entire debate is based on my criticism of this claim, your attempts to paint it otherwise notwithstanding.
And now, you claim the entire point of the thread is that Forbes, is in general, a right wing propagandist media outlet, and not about the London pot study? And in support of that, you cite an article that is probably the worst article you could have chosen to support your claim?
The misinformation you provided is insisting the Forbes article about the London pot study is attempting to convince us that the study is valid, that high potency marijuana causes brain damage, and therefore engaging in right wing propaganda. That, and your claim that the "capturing headline" is somehow misleading.
Show me where I've ever said the article is "totally invalidating and countering the research claim". You continue to misrepresent my position. I've already linked what the author said. The author is under no obligation to get a PhD in neurobiology in order to report on a first of its kind study. Not her job. Despite that, she pointed out what she saw as very obvious flaws in the conclusion the report reached.
I don't know, the only issue is the article about the London pot study. Remember, the one that this entire thread is based on, and that you cited? Forbes could be run by Mr. Forbes, Newt Gingrinch and Dick Cheney for all I care. I'm only focused on that one article.
Yes. Please quote me the portions of that article where the author is "trying to convince us" that the London pot study is valid and that high potency marijuana leads to brain damage. Then, explain how by doing so, they are engaging in right wing propaganda. Finally, explain how the "capturing headline" is likewise right wing propaganda.
LOL! Dipshit without a cause. Keep up those lame attacks. Makes you seem like you know what you're talking about. I suppose it's better than being a dipshit without a clue.
Why do you ask?
Perhaps the second thing we agree on.
So, let's recap: You claim the "capturing headline" is misleading, and therefore right wing propaganda. Your headline: "skunk like marihuana leads to brain dead hippies says the yellow press". Which you now say is really about the general nature of Forbes being a right wing propagandist media outlet, and not about the London study.
By your definition, you are a right wing propagandist, engaging in a "capturing thread title" which doesn't mean what it actually says.
Next, you claim the entire point of this thread is only about how Forbes (and their ilk, presumably) are all right wing propagandists. You continually misrepresent my position, refuse to support your claims, try to steer the focus on anything other than your claim about the Forbes article. That, by definition, would be "clever editorial work". Again, more evidence that you are, in fact, a right wing propagandist. Are you a writer for a media outlet that engages in right propaganda? Because it's beginning to seem like it.
Finally, I read the London study. Know where I found it? By clicking on the links in the very first article you provided, which you also apparently didn't read.
Nice post.
