snafu Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 2 hours ago, Governor said: They had to create their own news echo chamber because there wasn’t ever any good news about them. That shows the decay of the party. Why is it always about the "party"? Why is one party "good" and another party "bad"? You only believe what you want to believe? You seem to lose sight of the issue that most news outlets are shameless shills for the Political Class -- both left and right. They should just come out from behind their transparent curtain and go back to the days when there were "party publications" and let all the other outlets report on the un-slanted facts. 1

I’ve always supported bringing back an updated version of The Fairness Doctrine which would eliminate cable news and all of the echo chamber news that you see in this board. As of right now, this isn’t a “both sides” problem. 1 party is much, much worse than the other. 1 party actually exists in an alternate reality and doesn’t believe in a due-north on truth.

So that's a yes. You believe what you want to believe. The "echo chamber news that you see in this board" comes from both sides and parties' platforms. How do you quantify "much worse"? You say "alternate reality" but perhaps you mean a less hyperbolic "different viewpoint".

You say "alternate reality" but perhaps you mean a less hyperbolic "different viewpoint". I believe in things that are real and can be confirmed as truth. I don’t watch the news. I strictly follow campaigns and certain policy. I don’t chase boogeyman social issues unless I’m extremely bored and want to bludgeon my opponents over the head for my own entertainment. If I’m up early enough, I’ll watch the Washington Journal to get an idea on which way the winds are blowing on certain issues. I only care about winning elections.

Russiagate Bountygate Officer Sicknick skull bashed in with a fire extinguisher Covington Catholic kids Hunter Biden’s laptop is “Russian misinformation” ”Debunked” Wuhan lab leak President Trump “tear gassed” protesters for a photo op The science behind hydroxychloroquine Funny, you left off SPYGATE
WideNine Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 The question is not whether "the Media" can or cannot be trusted to tell the truth or the facts objectively (not sure if the OP is including sketch Twitter feeds as part of this too).... It is whether enough US citizens have the mental capacity to tell the difference regardless of the source.

Now if you want to say Fox isn’t really covering it, you’d be correct... but to my knowledge, they haven’t lied about it yet. Simply resorting to the tactic of not reporting bad news about “your side” ie., none of the network Nightly News covering the Ilhan Omar vs Dems infighting.

When to majority of the media repeatedly states that 1.75 trillion is more than 1.9 trillion and half the country agrees we know that some people can't determine truth on their own.

Doc Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 2 minutes ago, BillStime said: So those questions are only appropriate when it’s a black person involved - got it Nope, they've always been appropriate, for everyone. It's why I've always said don't commit crimes and don't resist arrest/assault police officers and odds are you won't die at their hands, without ever specifying race. But I'd still like to know who shot her, why it's being hidden and what his motive for killing her was? If it's because she didn't listen to him even though she was unarmed and a lot smaller than him, would you accept that when a cop kills a black person? I think not.
