I mean it says Lies, lies and more lies... how can I tell from THAT where the link will take me?

If you want to be taken seriously, copy the actual link - then we can see where the source is BEFORE we click.

I would click on her links and YES - she can be taken seriously

You don't want to click on them fine. Why don't you just reply asking where the links came from. Just because she didn't post the way you would post doesn't mean she can't be taken seriously.

That is why there is a box when we post called "Link Title/Text:" That is where it gives a poster the option to name the link whatever we want to name it. Most posters name their link according to what the articles means. In this case that would be lies. And since she wrote in her subject line "Sen. Ron Wyden says NSA spying on us is as bad as", I know that is what the article is going to be about.

Putting down where an article is from is only your preference. You don't want to click on it, fine. There are those of us who will. To say "if you want to be taken seriously" is wrong and it's comments like that that are detracting from yourself from being taken seriously. In fact reading some of the comments you make in your posts make it hard to take anything you have to say seriously.

BTW, it's an article from Huff. Really, nothing sinister here.

*********** - just saying

Why don't you just bypass my posts? I stand by my point which is that IF you rename the links in such a way as to SHOW YOUR BIAS, thinking people will ignore the link.

but thanks, *******, for agreeing that not clicking the link is "my preference!"

Posts like these make you lose all credibility - ...

A president wanting to be dictator could use these data - to identify most individuals and areas

from which active resistance was likely to come and target them. These would include computer scientists, teachers, religious leaders, community leaders, and so on. They would also include pocket cultures that could be expected to organize and fight, perhaps a neighborhood where a lot of Basque separatists had settled, for instance.

Few ordinary individuals with guns would make the list, but those whose computer profiles showed leadership characteristics, loyalty to our republic, and a pattern of activism definitely would be arrested. They'd leave ordinary armed citizens, computer blowhards included, sitting in their homes with no one to organize and direct them. Their internet access would be cut off, but that's about all.

This is a very serious issue because it makes it much more possible for an evil person or group to take over our country--with or without first being voted into power by mislead populace, as Hitler was for instance.

Doesn't your browser show the actual link down at the bottom left - if you hover over it with your cursor/pointer?

historically bad year for Democrats, it just may be that they’re about to lose again to Donald Trump, this time in a high-stakes game of Russian roulette. The Dems’ Putin smear was supposed to paint President Trump as a friend of the tyrant and beneficiary of Russian meddling in the election. Instead, it is the standard-bearer of the Democratic Party, former President Barack Obama, who may take the fall. Snooping on a presidential candidate is serious business. ...

security advisor Susan Rice admitted that she used the intelligence community to spy on members of the Trump team, but this type of behavior isn’t anything new. In fact, it appears the Obama White House had been spying on its political opponents and leaking classified information about them long before Donald Trump won the presidential election last November, Lee Smith of Tablet Magazine writes.
