It's not that difficult to understand, and evidence of the title abounds in the bigger picture.
My comments are about the thread title.

You've provided no evidence... just false, self-serving and delusional reasoning.

What if, when Trump leaves office, Democrats did something similar to Fox News? Would you be OK with it?

So being opposed to an insane man who got us into an unprovoked war "stinks," but perpetuating false stories about an election being "rigged" doesn't "stink". Why are you so stupid?

There you go again, lost in your own world.

CBS fired Pelley, not the government.
CBS is trying to fumigate the stench of low ratings.
CBS has effectively been a house organ for the Democrat Party, for a long time.

That accounts for the low ratings.
After all the lies dumped on the public in the last decade,
folks are wising up to the nefarious ways of The Democrat Party That Hates America.

Check out their guy in the Maine senate race ... the Democrat with the Nazi tattoo.

Gary, Gary. Lack of couth in an intellectual forum brings shame to your parents and ancestors, and is your responsibility.

Let us pause to reflect.

Under the Reactionary Law known as I KnowYouAreButWhatAmI, when the false assertion is given that another doesn’t provide evidence after evidence has been presented that one ignores, and the internal law is activated because oneself only makes emotional declarations based on the neurally programmed habitual thought processes, then for once when that distraction’s inappropriate justification isn’t ignored and pointed to within the context of unfolding reality, don’t fret. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.

If you want to destroy your country and be called "intelligent", then so be it. You're brilliant. You're magnificent. Enjoy.

Ain't it funny how your false premise somehow led to an accurate assessment and good wishes?

There's no need for figurative brown-nosing, although I do recognize your figurative sarcasm.

However, as you may have heard, I am not the topic of the thread.

If you want to get topical, begin with the principle of hate then read the book to see how and why the title applies.

However, to borrow a phrase, the people who most need to do that, probably won't.

You may even come to the conclusion that hate is necessary, although it would be interesting to hear how you got there and it might not make you look like a good person, to yourself.

That's simply the way logic works. Starting with premises that are untrue, can get to anything.

All you are assured of is that premises that are true will not lead to false conclusions.

When the first man who built the first raft launched into the ocean, he disappeared past that very straight ocean horizon.
When he didn't return, the witnesses logically premised that he must have fallen off the edge of the earth.

They were wrong.

This is another prime example of confirmation bias from a Democrat Party house organist, and he ain’t playing Bach.
The confirmation bias originates in his noggin, and is shared by his news sources.

He suffers from the curse of the relativists which goes ... WORDS ARE REALITY.

This fellow’s emotional flare for drama to impress the team he mentions in the video got him and his donkey ass fired.

The facts as he presented them:
- His boss requested objective speculation based on a premise that she presented.
- He disagreed with the premise, based on his beliefs. He said so.
- This means that he lacks the capacity for objective speculation of a specific premise that was requested by his boss. He says so himself, in the last
words of the link.

- The effects of an unmanifested capacity are the same as no capacity. Why he lacks that capacity is just speculative. Maybe he doesn't like women bosses younger than him. Maybe he's just rebellious. Maybe he has the luxury of wealth that doesn't need the job to survive. Maybe he's posing as a martyr for the first amendment of the constitution. Maybe he was a Ron Burgundy. Could be he's a true believer as described by Eric Hoffer. Maybe he thought he was on a message board.

They were wrong.

A => B is equivalent to not A v B. Which statement is true if EITHER side of the "or" is true. So if not A is true, B can be either true OR false.

You just gave an example where B was false. Take your example again with the slight change "the witnesses logically concluded going out to sea on a raft was very dangerous" (True)

P1: There are two balls in the box (true)
P2: If one of the balls is green the other is red (false)
Take out one ball and examine it (green)

Now look at the other ball. It may be red OR green (P2 was false)

the ball was orange (man bad)
