Oh, it has started and is now fully embedded and "legitimised" by the 2016-20 White House administration when the introduced what they called "alternative facts". Politicians of all colours in many countries now make pronouncements that, usually about their political opponents, that in reality have no basis in truth. Some is by design and others just on the spur of the moment. |

I know we are way off topic here. So I will try to make this my last post on the entire Danica Patrick topic. If anyone is curious, I suggest they watch the YT video linked earlier in this thread. It's over an hour long. If you don't care to watch all of that, scan through the transcripts. For example around the 12 minute mark...
EA: "Justin Bieber was going to shapes shift into a giant reptilian on stage in front of hundreds of thousands who all have their phone on him who capture it you can't they have suppressed a lot of these sightings" DP: "Really?" EA: "Oh my God yeah there's been a lot of celebrity Shape Shifter sightings and they've just shut it all down in the news media" DP: "Wow" EA: "All that stuff so in a case like they're on stage and that just happens and they kind of slip their true form I mean how do you shut down hundreds of thousands if not millions of live streaming" DP: "I mean unless you got like a Men In Black situation where someone can come in and (click memory wipe button sound) move back time a little or" EA: "Yeah that's what they've done before right" DP: "Yeah?" EA: "The Men in Black stuff yeah oh yeah they swoop right in that's how they've been able to suppress the truth" DP: "I mean come on that's what I was going to ask is like you know suppressing information is what is trying to be done so I want to know what that information is from your perspective what is the most critical information that there trying to make sure that we don't know about or we don't embody." It just goes on and on like this. (Men in black emoji!) Richard |

That begs the question, can one not present a position, without necessarily attempting to persuade someone to switch to that position? Quote:
Indeed there are consequences but the consequence in this case are that Danica Patrick will largely be scoffed at and she will come across as a crank. This podcast of Danica Patrick's has impinged on her as a motorsports pundit. Quote:
I don't think so. Former British footballer and TV presenter David Icke, has been going on about Lizard People since 1999 and though mainstream have reported on what he has said, for the most part he is regarded as a conspiracy theorist and not to be taken seriously. The same thing has happened to Danica Patrick. Quote:
The problem is already pervasive and it's not the Danica Patricks and David Ickes of this world we should be primarily concerned about but the mainstream media. Getting back on topic, I'm looking forward to watching qualifying and the race on C4 for a change, rather than watching on Sky. |

BJ, the Icke problem is far worse than that, I think I'm right in saying, because he claimed that he was the second coming. He's just a total fruit and nut job!

Ah, thanks EB, I'm back up to speed. Cheers,
For what it's worth, like some others in the group, I wouldn't miss her either. As we were. |

Agreed Mike, he is. I was trying to be polite when I said he is regarded as a conspiracy theorist and not to be taken seriously. |

Watching C4 coverage, the transmission keeps dropping out. Must be weather related.

With the amount of cabling around the circuit, it only takes a short somewhere to affect the transmission. Hopefully sorted by tomorrow. Just switched over to BBC1 for the football. Seems that HD keeps dropping out, but SD is okay. Having said that, then the weather could be responsible.

Good to have live coverage on FTA again. I don't think C4 do it as good as the BBC did, but still the important thing is it is live for us all to watch. Got a big weekend of sport this weekend

It might be down to the number of people watching, as C4's coverage is FTA. I was watching online via their website and it would sometimes buffer. |

Downunder we got the world feed on Fox Sports for qualifying instead of the Sky feed.
Brundle, Croft and co were talking about replays or Sky Race Control that wasn't appearing on our screens. Hopefully will be fixed for the race. |

Lazenby at the start and then Croft’s continual England Netherlands references were pathetic.
I don’t often say it, but Croft spoiled the coverage of a race that had everything. |

I enjoyed the C4 coverage and it made a change to watching Sky's. I would like to see more C4 coverage, but unfortunately apart from the British GP it's not live.

I've come to realise that Croft's presence as a commentator is actually a unifying force for us as fans.

My specialty sports channel, which simulcasts the Sky coverage, chose to go to commercial break right after Norris got past Ham for the first time, again when the rain started back up again, and then during the ham and norris final stop laps so I missed a bunch of Crofty!

Yes the C4 coverage was good and they seem to have presenters that people like, pity Sky can not sack the bunch they have and take Mark, David and Billy as a team
