NYTimes's excellent collection of data on 2016 presidential candidates

Post 153813 by Sleeper deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, this is a good link but we have an open thread on NYT coverage of campaign fundraising that's only a couple days old, and in the name of not having US election coverage take over the front page, probably better to put this in there or hold off and post it later if it keeps being updated. -- LobsterMitten

Of course it's true, I read it in the paper / Saw it on the news.

Post 153705 by adamvasco deleted for the following reason: I agree we should be skeptical of how the media manipulates us, but this seems to be a propaganda piece about how Ukraine is bad and Russia is good, which is a very weird form for the concern over propaganda to take. -- LobsterMitten

Deleting for now, please contact us if you'd like to discuss or share more info about the video origins or whatever! -- taz

Dating advice from the Federal Reserve

Post 153598 by clawsoon deleted for the following reason: Yeah, I tend to agree that this is a pretty dire kind of prediction that needs more qualification, and it's framed (by the Post) in a clickbaity way that seems kind of irresponsible. -- LobsterMitten
