Oh I have no problem with a balance, we need both sides represented. But I will never let Dad continue to make the claim that his sources are not also guilty of being bias and misleading because that is simply a crock of shit.

I hear conservative personalities spew stuff like Dems want open borders, Dams hate American, they want to come to your house and take your guns. This is all complete nonsense but their listeners believe every word. This is no different than CNN slanting the views of their audience with their coverage.
They all manipulate the facts. I'm just so tired of all political networks. The left side spends 24 hours each day trashing the president configuring each and every story to make it appear Trump is an incompetent buffoon while the other side spends 24 hrs each day configuring that he isn't. Just tell the people like it is... let us decide!! Quit brain washing everyone on how their political bias sees the world. Why is it so hard to tell the truth on things. Think about it. Each network has ties to a party.... yet we watch and believe what they tell us. In reality... we will never know the exact truth on anything. Yet we keep on debating our talking points as only we've heard it... and there lies the divide. It aint Trump... it aint Obama... its the effin media. This worlds gotz some issues.

Why is it so hard for them to tell the truth? Two reasons...money and power.

Yeah I have been asking posters if they were aware of any news sources that are really unbiased. I never really got any. The conservatives that supplied links were to sites that were clearly right wing leaning and not neutral. I'd really like to get unslanted reporting but it appears non-existent.

I don’t care. You get upset when people say you are liberal. You have a chance to explain how you aren’t.

I have explained how I'm not. I think it has something to do with having mostly conservative positions. Seems odd for a liberal no?

Why does the left get to define murder and not be called assholes?

A) there is nothing hypocritical about defending the rights of others. The “right” doesn’t believe in lawlessness. They believe in natural rights and minimal government.

B) when the situation is reversed? It is never reversed. Climate change is not proven science. The second amendment is an enumerated right. Welfare is literal extortion. Capital punishment is called “justice,” and very Constitutional. We always hear another POV...we engage in discussions. You are the one calling us assholes.

As for established precedent, please read what was actually decided in Roe. As Alabama law, you do realize it was a woman who signed it into law? The impact of abortion is quite obvious...death of innocents.

Nobody is deciding what a woman does with her body...we are defending the body that is inside of her. What if the “right” decided to sit by and allow slavery? Doing the right thing may involve things the left says is none of our business because the left wants to keep things like slavery because it is about power.

What a ridiculous response.

You’re trying to shift the narrative in multiple paragraphs.

If you dont believe that it is murder to begin with, then there is no “defining of murder.”

Idiots on the right feel that they have the only definition of what does or does not constitute murder, refuse to consider other perspectives or definitions, and then hypocritically impose their will on everybody else.

Like I said, its that simple.

Climate change science is absolutely fact based. Its overwhelmingly proven science. So much so that morons on the right warp those facts into inane talking points (“the climate has always changed! Its cyclical!”).

On every position I mentioned including 2A, climate change, immigration, tac cuts etc., there is inherent hypocrisy from the right.

You idiots want to eliminate a womans right to choose, but will be damned if somebody wants to eliminate your right to an assault rifle.

Republicans and their ideology arw a scourge on Christianity, and on everything that is America.

Probably when they become as big of a fuckwad as Candace Owens is.

You seem to follow a lot of hate mongering fools. You know what they say: you are the company that you keep.

Of course, I’m SURE you’ll probably blame something ridiculous like “the deep state,” or “a vast liberal conspiracy,” or “the biased Mainstream media.”

Stick with it...

a - government intervention to protect humans right to life seems pretty reasonable

b - I'm not sure what arguments you are referring to specifically but that doesn't really have anything to do with whether or not abortion should or should not be legal

a) when human life begins is open to debate. Also, the government isnt interested in protecting human life. Otherwise 2a would be revised, death penalty would be eliminated, social services would be expanded, etc.

b) Yes, they do. See above.

a - exactly so maybe pro life people are on to something and arent monsters. Those other policies are not equivalent.

b - Umm no they don't. You may be right (or wrong) about people being hypocritical about this issue but that doesn't have anything to do with whether the policy is correct. Each issue should be judged on its own merits.

It really comes down to what you're looking for. If you watch Fox or cnn or msnbc sure you're getting loads of spin. Same if you read opinion pieces or study how cnn or fox present the importance of different pieces of news.

But the actual reporting isn't fake. If you read the WSJ, WaPo, NYT, even CNN and Fox's actual reporting (not opinion pieces), you will get accurate information. As long as you can read and think critically you'll be fine.

There's room to criticize the media sure, but the bulk of the reporting by the serious outlets is actually pretty accurate.

People who claim you can't trust something like the NYT reported because it's the fake liberal media but will buy trump4america . Coms stories and have no problem with constant obvious lying from the president are idiots.

fox isnt MSM nice try


Mainstream media is a term and abbreviation used to refer collectively to the various large mass news media that influence a large number of people, and both reflect and shape prevailing currents of thought.

By the definition of Main Stream Media, Fox would in fact be a part of the Main Stream Media.
