Re: What do "Krolis", "Narcissus", and "Dark Helmet"...
Would you like to place a wager as to whether or not I'm commenting under any name than Dark Helmet? I'd literally be up for ANY amount of money you choose and would happily allow whatever transparency is required to prove this, if you'd like to put some money on the line?

"As journalists try not to push personal agenda and bias."
Why do people keep saying this a though they're making some kind of a valid point?
All journalists HAVE biases, if by biases we mean they're own personal opinions on matters of politics. Most journalists do not let those personal opinions govern how they report on current news. All of those reporters will certainly have their background stances shine through anyway.
Telling a reporter not to be "biased" is telling them not to have an honest opinion that viewers can see. You might as well ask them to stop breathing. Any why in the shit would we want news folk to mask their true selves when giving us the news? You're literally asking them to be fake to achieve credibility?
"... a reasonable comment (ignore the usual morning troll here)"
It's not a matter of trolling, it's a matter of knowing fairly basic IT forensics and security. When a breach occurs and law enforcement gets involved, one does not simply "hand over" their servers. Instead, you work with law enforcement or a third party IT security contractor to image the server and hand THAT over, so that you can get the forensics done while continuing to use your production server.
This, according to both the DNC and the FBI, is EXACTLY what the DNC did. The FBI has the server image for forensics, which in part led to the indictments Mueller had made of Russian nationals.
So, did the DNC "hand over its server"? No. HELL NO. It wouldn't. Nobody would. When a law firm has a litigation hold on its email server, it doesn't "hand over" that server. It hands over either an image of it or the email archives on a third machine. That's how it's ALWAYS done.
"Still haven't been handed over to the FBI. Given the DNC friendly appearance of the DC FBI, you would think that letting them do actual forensics would be a good thing... So, if the DNC thinks a state actor hacked their server, why have they not allowed the FBI to do their thing? That would be like a bank that got robbed not allowing the FBI to investigate."
Is this canard still a thing? The handing over of the server is NOT something would happen or even be requested. What happens instead is the FBI would image the server to be analyzed forensically. That is EXACTLY what happened, both on the account of the FBI and by merely reading Mueller's indictments.
Yes, and let me assure you that this continual smearing of my beloved home city is especially annoying to those of us that live here, travel through the city (including the West and South sides) every day to get to work, and even travel all throughout the city to visit client sites and, yet, somehow manage to not get mega-murdered every five steps we walk....
"The topic of racism is best kept out of professional sports"
This MUST be one of the dumbest comments I routinely hear in the sporting news world. Race is so deeply embedded in professional sports, both culturally and resulting from league decisions and coverage, that this request is fully impossible to accommodate.
Also, I imagine this was said roughly a zillion times in the Jackie Robinson era, which should highlight just how dumb it is....
I'd like to add to this, actually. Two things immediately come to mind whenever the "Obama did it crowd" pipes up....
1. No he didn't. Not to this degree, not with this goal,not to this level of inhumanity. If that were true, it wouldn't have required a deliberate policy change to put this into the news. Pretending otherwise is stupid. There WAS family separation under Obama, just like there IS still measles in the world. It's just not as widespread or horrible as it used to be. That degree makes a difference.
2. Even if none of the above were true, the "Obama did it too!" folks would essentially be people presented with a crises and then, instead of focusing on that crises, would instead like to point out that we didn't point out the crises earlier. It's akin to the living room of your home being on fire, having the entire family doing nothing, then it gets to your 2nd floor and, instead of everyone getting the fuck out of there you have one insolent little shit of a kid shoutting about how we never mentioned the living room fire and refusing to move. It's incredibly stupid.
"It's sad that their parents are criminals, but it's hardly DJT's fault."
Oh? They are? That's news to me. As far as you hear on the media it's usually your average Jane/Joe striving for a better life. Sometimes fleeing from fucking Hell.
***Worth noting here that most of the family separations are happening to families that have committed no other crimes other than attempting to cross the border, which is a MISDEMEANOR***
