Well when the first thing you lead with on you're breaking new scandal thing turns out to be complete utter bullshit it makes me doubt items 2-396 are true as well

So I should not believe that these memos exist? Is that my takeaway?

jaybird aren't you literally the person who warned against accepting like studies and reports and polling that confirms ideological biases? is it not one of your ideological biases that the liberal high ses societies really hate low ses conservatives?

Indeed I am. But this strikes me as a fairly straightforward question: Are the memos contained in the Google Memo leak actually memos that were once circulated at Google?

consider it this way if the New York times had an expose of the NRA and their first item in the expose was total bullshit wouldn't you think maybe the rest of the times reporting is bullshit? I mean you're supposed to put your best foot forward, not trip over it

I think that arguing "that memo doesn't exist" at least argues against the point. Arguing that the memo contains B.S. is a different argument. Is the argument that, since the memo contains B.S., it must not be authentic? Because that, at least, makes sense to me.

What exactly is the argument? Google translate used to mistranslate ‘covfefe’ and google changed that once it became a thing. How is that 1984? It only means anything if covfefe was ever a legitimate translation of that phrase. Show me that and you got something

My argument is that if these memos exist then they indicate some amount of shenanigans going on at Google HQ. It's not merely that they stopped incorrectly translating a nonsense word as a phrase that makes sense, it's that they deliberately Easter Egged it.
