We have to set the threshold of proof that we're willing to accept.  If you want to set the burden at "more likely than not," that's one thing.  If you want to set it at "mere scintilla of proof," that's another.  I don't care where the threshold is, as long as we're held to the same standard.

Let's go with 'more likely than not'.

---

Is it more likely than not that sanctions targeting Venezuela's oil and banking industries, which were implemented specifically to force Maduro out, were our fault?

As you will recall, I started this by posting a 9/11 story from RT.  If I'm not mistaken, you conceded that this was fake news and then took your turn using the Venezuela piece from Last Week Tonight.  That means it's still your turn.

Here’s RT saying Fukushima is worse than Chernobyl

This is laughable. The amount of radiation released during Chernobyl was far greater as well as the dozens of deaths from acute radiation poisoning. Nobody died from radiation poisoning at Fukushima.

Also, if you're concerned about who has the last word, we can fix that problem by simply making a rule that the petitioner gets a final argument wherein he is not allowed to bring in any new evidence not previously introduced in the thread.

We've discussed this before, and this article says you're wrong:  https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/04/27/move-over-chernobyl-fukushima-is-now-officially-the-worst-nuclear-power-disaster-in-history/

PS - your video is well over 5 years old.  Whether true or not, are you willing to concede that RT has been accurate during the last 5 years?

Enlil said:

Moving forward, I'll limit to the last 5 years, sure.  You're still stuck with the 9/11 fake news story already conceded, though.  It's still your turn, and if/when you find and prove a fake news story from LWT (from any time.  We won't apply the 5 year limit to your first one, because mine was older), I'll do the same for RT.  Fair?

Enlil said:

As to the Venezuela episode, it's already been found not to be a fake news story.  You'll have to find a different story.  We both have to respect the findings of our mutually agreed-upon judge.  You had a full and fair opportunity to argue as many false statements as you wanted from that piece, and you chose to argue only one.

Yes. You lost that debate.

If I click the link, it shows I won.

And i thoroughlly debunked your link. I think your major problem is you rely on the fringe alternative news sources instead of reliable sources.

Enlil said:

I'm not re-debating that story. You claimed it was fake.  You had an opportunity to prove it was fake.  You failed to meet that burden under conditions we both agreed to. If you can't or won't accept that, I'm done.

Enlil said:

It's like you are suing me in a car accident.  First, you go to trial and try to convince the jury that I was at fault because I was speeding.  You lost, and now you want a second trial to try to convince the jury that I was at fault because I ran a red light.  It's fundamentally unfair to me for you to get a second chance at it.  I'm sorry, but that's just the fact.  There is a good reason this wouldn't be allowed in a real trial.

Are you afraid that you can't find another story to attack?  Or are you just afraid that you won't find another that has already been attacked before by a random youtuber?
