EDIT: I didn't link to the thread, which I had archived, whoops sorry! Here is the GAF stupidity thread of the hour I'm talking about: http://archive.is/lh5s9
Foreword
- NeoGAF HATES conspiracy theories about George Soros funding every liberal cause on the planet, CIA/NSA going rogue, Deep State, Clinton Foundation, 9/11, etc.
- NeoGAF suddenly LOVES conspiracy theories under the Trump Administration.
- NeoGAF really BELIEVES it's an impartial forum of free speech despite the sheer abundance of Democrat crowdfunding topics during the last election.
- Despite the name, the source the Original Poster uses is described by Wikipedia as "Bipartisan Report is a pro-liberal, clickbait news outlet, known for creating heavily skewed headlines to appeal to the left. It claims to be "The Internet’s Largest newspaper,"[2] an unsubstantiated claim in conflict with the website's Alexa ranking". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartisan_Report))
A single member, commedieu, has been dogpiled by SJWs (it's the tried and true practice of the left) for raising the ABSURD suggestion that people provide proof to prove their conclusions. PROOF? None needed when you got low IQ replies and GIFs to spam the first page so more people will see the topic, ignore everything, and proceed to shitpost. The entire topic is full of MUH GUT FEELING. Mass media manipulation at its finest, the new witch hunts, the new red scare propagated by the INTELLIGENT LEFT. What makes it all so hilarious and ironic is that the source and the topic creator are actually not being truthful in their reporting (shocker, I know), because as this rational person points out they've actually omitted critical pieces of information in the opening post and headline. I quote from this member (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=231683289&postcount=113)).
The incident — and the lack of information surrounding it — has raised eyebrows in Washington.Two sources to whom BuzzFeed News spoke, who requested anonymity to discuss the probe, said Krivov appeared to be a heavy drinker, which law enforcement concluded led to his natural death. “I don’t think there’s anything there,” one US intelligence official said.
SEEMS KINDA IMPORTANT FROM THE ARTICLE...I WONDER WHY IT'S MISSING FROM THE OPENING POST. REALLY MAKES YOU THINK.
Do you think the OP will be banned for being a misleading fuck? Do you think the idiots left who literally shitposted will be banned for bringing vapid predictable responses without questioning the source? Do you think NeoGAF will add Bipartisan Report to the list of no-no websites that get auto-censored? Do you think NeoGAF will learn anything from this? No, the answer to that and many more questions is no.

Honestly, I hope the left continues their "NotMyPresident" bullshit and latching on to the newest Trump/Russian conspiracy theory of the day for as long as possible.
If the left had any functioning brain cells, they would realize that they could begin working towards mounting a comeback as early as 2018. Instead, all they know to do is double down on insults and censor negative news about Dems/push fake news about Trump and the GOP.
They are looking more and more like the Tea Party loons that they endlessly made fun of from 2009-2012.

They went after Commedieu as well? He was always rational, from what I remember, and he was a long-time member.
Further proof that GAFfots would sell out their grandmother for a nickel if they had the chance.
