US Politics and Trump Category IV - I've never even heard of one that big before

[The Free Radical]

Yawn.

Trump will walk away from this desperate and pathetic lynching attempt and come out even stronger.
This charade will only serve to fatally wound the Democrats.
Let it roll on. This is the best pre-election marketing for Trumps 2020 campaign, and a gift from the opposition which money can't buy.

Trump is going to be US president till 2024.

God bless Trump, God bless America.

Why judge? Looks like some here jack off to that.

Hey congrats, you've finally progressed from spouting gibberish to laying down some actual smack talk. I knew you had it in you.

 

[Temujin]

No one is triggered, relax, they are just pointing out a highly biased news source. As they should.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

As opposed to the highly unbiased news sources in thread like cnn?

Your appreciation helps me. Thank you.

Oh noes... fox logo bottom left triggering people... shame... here, this will calm you down

So triggered

 

[Temujin]

Yes.

 

[Emjay]

Then call those out when they're posted.

That's just not a great way to carry on the conversation. Media is biased (the publication, writers and journalists) across both sides. The issue here is that old Mikey and others like him do not understand that their approved sources are just as biased as the ones they continuously dismiss. So it's better to just let them be. When I post content I don't really do it for them anyway. I do it for the people more aligned to my political compass.

Per Google:

"CNN is an American news-based pay television channel owned by AT&T's WarnerMedia."

"Fox News is an American conservative pay television news channel."

One is the world's first 24hr news channel founded by Ted Turner, a lifelong media man and Reese Schonfeld also founder of such provocative properties as The food Network.
The other is a right wing fascist mouthpiece founded by Rodger Ailes, a man who served the Nixon, Reagan and Bush administrations and is linked to sexual harassment claims, and Rupert Murdoch a renowned right wing propagandist and all round schit head.

Need more? I'd recommend you look up the This American Life episode that lays out the motivation and early days of Fox (complete with interviews of all the major players) hint: it was set up in the wake fo the Nixon scandal to manage the narrative should the right need to in future but I'll just save us all the effort and accept that you will consider it a "leftist conspiracy" and just carry on with my day.

CNN is left leaning, fox right leaning, all data and research shows it, you'll be hard pressed to find a publisher that isn't biased, its all about the clicks... all you can do is look at both sides and come to your own conclusion. (something like allsides who puts for eg cnn story next to fox story may interest you)

I find it interesting someone in 2019 looks at a news source and says its unbiased, 'per google' ... its all biased... cnn is further left than most, I'd even say their opinions are far left... hell, if you couldn't tell cnn is all orangemanbad from the last few years of it, you have your head in the sand. If you want actual evidence of cnn orangemanbad bias, just look at the hidden camera footage exposing it all... I guess however that will all be denied to, as they are telling you what you want to hear therefore to you its unbiased, and everything that doesn't share that view must be

Oh, both sides? No thanks.

Show me the left wing political administrations and campaigns that the founders of CNN have been involved in.

"Right leaning" I could shrug at but yaboi Ailes is literally a consultant to the Republican party for decades already, come now son.

It's not about dismissal of biased sources. It's about accuracy of facts reported.

Unfortunately Fox skews heavily towards inaccuracy with reporting that more closely resembles propaganda than actual news. And they're on the better side of the right wing media. Wall Street Journal is right-leaning and much more reputable than Fox, but you don't see a lot of their articles being posted here because they aren't pushing this narrative. And that's not even to speak of the fringes of right wing media which are overrun by conspiracy theorists, hacks, and outright lunatics.

Because politifact doesn't have a left wing bias itself.

ORRRRR people just don't bother to link stuff from the WSJ because it's paywalled and so what's the point. I've posted lots of stuff from Zerohedge that's simply quoting stuff printed in the WSJ.

And that's not even to speak of the fringes of right wing media which are overrun by conspiracy theorists, hacks, and outright lunatics.

Shame hey, you still can't admit that the FBI tried to frame Flynn or that Russiagate was one big manufactured hoax, huh? I only wish I could be in the room to see your face when it finally dawns on you how badly you've gotten a hold of the wrong end of the stick...

Isn't Ailes dead years back already? No clue about CNN founder(is he even still alive?) ... regardless, imo, its not about the old senile 'founders'(either dead already or close enough), its about who's in charge, eg. Zucker, hes the man pulling the strings and giving orders at cnn... all trump all the time, its all the channel is for nowadays as its been for years now, take down trump, is it personal? or political? fark knows, but thats all it is, orangemanbad.

What Emjay? You've made it your entire job in this thread to call out left leaning sources, now you are just going to pretend its not a great way to carry on a conversation ??? Hilarious
