That's what I wanna know too. I'm sure I can find footage somewhere of toddlers getting into fights, but this sounds like a different kettle of fish.

Ah lucky you, a golden throne. I wonder how long it takes before some thieves pull a heist and melt it down to size.

Guggenheim has good security. I doubt that will happen. I'm just wondering how long the wait line will be to use the bathroom that has it.

I see no Lufthansa heist then. I'd pay.

Speaking of Lufthansa heist is the 5 families of New York a thing of the past, or do you still see wise guys running around New York in limos?

Nah, they are either in prison, upstate NY or in dirty Jersey.

Don't have to be strong if you can kick a little girl in the clit.

For my journalism class I'm supposed to be reading a few large news outlets daily. Any suggestions for websites that are unbiased and more focused on actual world news than entertainment?

The only news worth reading.

Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Celebrity News | TMZ.com

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 09-21-2016 10:30 AM

lol we had a news quiz the other day and all of the questions were basically what you would expect to be on a news quiz, until the final question "Which celebrity couple has recently announced their divorce after years of speculation?" #journalism

Ask your professor if he's a TMZ fan.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 09-21-2016 10:34 AM

The test was written by one of the female assistant profs. I'm like 99% sure she's a TMZ fan because she was also playing Beyonce the other day when I walked into class.

Beyonce fans = TMZ readers

It's sad I actually know the answer to this.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 09-21-2016 10:39 AM

It was by far the easiest question on the quiz. I wish all we had to do was answer pop culture trivia.

The Batlord 09-21-2016 10:52 AM

TMZ is fantastic.

Look at diverse publications from every which bias (because there really is no unbiased news source) and try to decipher it for yourself by fact checking things that they talk about. NPR's liberally biased but it has good reporting and Wall Street Journal is in depth but leans in the other direction. I would recommend looking at what drives the news as well, regardless of bias, by looking at the New York Times, Breitbart, CNN and the like.
