Amazing how he say he can't see good enough to write code but he can split hairs no problem.
No matter what you present him, he will deny it.
Or change the subject, as he just did in the this thread.
No need to reply, hcap - will not be seeing your posts.

Why yellow? The reasons are not totally clear. Some sources point to the yellow ink the publications would sometimes use, though it more likely stems from the popular Yellow Kid cartoon that first ran in Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World, and later William Randolph Hearst’s New York Journal, the two newspapers engaged in the circulation war at the heart of the furore.

The news media has a long history of fake news. It happened in the past and it happens now, without out yellow ink, it is all about profits and shaping opinions.

Yes it does. And we can point to it THEN. But as I explained a number of times, there are many examples of the free press exposing presidential and governmental abuse that we can point to now.
On the other hand, there is no evidence alt right conspiracy theories are ever correct.
Got news for you the "yellow journalism" of today is the alt right spinning Trump defensive nonsense.
One again, post one alt right conspiracy theory that has turned out truw

Anything that goes against his way of thinking, especially if it threatening in nature.

The Weaponization of the I.R.S.
I still don't know what the alt right is, but I do know that republicans complained about being targeted by the I.R.S. and democrats kept denying that any targeting ever happened.
"White House denounces IRS 'conspiracy theories'"
http://thehill.com/policy/finance/21...iracy-theories
Recently this happened.
"At long last: IRS pays up for targeting conservative"
"A tea party leader in Ohio is pleased that the Internal Revenue Service must pay millions of dollars to tea party groups that were targeted by the agency in the run up to the 2012 presidential election."

Since the term "alt-right" was invented in 2008, with most theories concerning events prior to that date being the focus, the truth will come out, eventually.....Deep state can only stone-wall so long, and their time is just about up.

Ok, fair's fair, It does look like the IRS unfairly targeted conservative groups. Not exactoly a watergate or pentagon papers but an abuse. However the conspiracy of these repugs also claimed Obama was responsible.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKBN1CV1TY
Republicans claimed the targeting of conservative groups showed political bias in the IRS under former Democratic President Barack Obama. House Republican investigators found no connection to the Obama administration, according to a 2014 report.
But the report did blame IRS officials for mistreating conservative organizations who sought tax-exempt status and that IRS officials covered up the misconduct and misled Congress.
But a question remains. Did the mainstream press cover it up or report it
