I have not heard of him. Is he reputable? airmid Sep 2018 #10
Very much so. sandensea Sep 2018 #12

Yes, there are excellent exceptions, but I have given up listening to Pakman and waiting for him Nitram Sep 2018 #33

Big Helvetica-style type for a headline (mix of bold and plain), with a smaller image. See his page here, all his videos have that look:

Look down the right column of the DU front page, nothing else looks like that.

The *lack* of any source identifier in that image is a likely indicator as well. Most DU videos' posted frames have some identifier... you'll see a CNN logo, or MSNBC, or Colbert, or even TYT... when there's nothing at all, there's a good chance it's DP.

Pakman's been around for years, his youth nothwithstanding.

He usually braodcasts from his studio. Really solid overviews and commentary, and staunchly liberal.

Short and sweet, someone should tell him.

He's from Argentina, and if you meet them you'll see they tend to be very talkative. Pakman's not that bad though.

If he were a right-winger, he'd probably be a househould word thanks to deliberate media exposure. But that's the world we live in.

That's why an investigation is needed...it's much easier to pull one over on the court of public opinion than the fbi.

They went into some detail that Poland attacked Germany while at the same time portraying skepticism as a conspiracy theory. Humans are easily manipulated with horrible results. I do wonder if there is a newly installed Trump FBI?

Judge Rapey McGambles...

This HAS to be the low point for our country in the last 50 years at least.

Could anyone come up with two bigger scumbag pigs than these two? One is POTUS and the other could be on SCOTUS. Fuck me.

I can't find the story attached to any other source.
Where did Packman hear/find/get this?

Seems to me this would be a major story and there's not a word elsewhere. That I can find, in any event.

and the attorney who sent is says he's not sure if they received it,

I would think that sending something so important and him not following up on their receiving it and not hearing from anyone he informed is strange.

Could be just me.
