Internet Censorship.

[JScottWriter]

You and Trump are a couple of big crybabies.

The word you're looking for is snowflakes.

“Mostly liberal” is a pretty broad and subjective description.

That said, while you hated the media bias fact check rating on info wars and Alex Jones, nevertheless, looking up what one might describe as “Main stream media,” the major broadcast networks and big city news publications, and national news publications, media bias fact check does find the majority of them leaning somewhat to the left.

All three of the major broadcast networks are found to be somewhat to the left. The majority of big city newspapers are somewhat to the left, exceptions, not surprisingly, include Dallas Houston and Las Vegas.

Not surprisingly, the Wall Street Journal is viewed leaning to the right and USA today is viewed leaning to the left.

Time, News week, and US News and World Report are all seen leaning to the left.

overall I agree with her assessment. too much horseshit mostly from the left.

As she argued that media sources on the left and right regularly push their preferred narratives and “do terrible things,” Logan determined that the weight of the liberal media overwhelms “the other side” unless people actively seek outlets like Breitbart.

The discussion continued with Logan trashing news reports based on single, anonymous government sources, calling it an abandonment of journalistic standards.

“That’s not journalism, that’s horseshit,” Logan said. “Responsibility for fake news begins with us. We bear some responsibility for that, and we’re not taking ownership of that and addressing it. We just want to blame it all on somebody else.”

Here’s a twist- the two guys implicated in the Jussie Smollett thing are the same two guys whose actual voices were on the Millie Vanilli Grammy winning songs back in the 80s.

Did anyone read the part about needing to seek out Breibart unless you want an either left or right narrative without rolling their eyes so hard it actually hurt?

 

[tinselwolverine]

Jussie was that one little black kid on the Mighty Ducks hockey team from the Disney movie back in the day.

They were thinking about adding another black kid but then they decided that one black kid on a hockey team was already outrageous and unbelievable enough as it was.

Mice as coachmen and a pumpkin as a carriage from a benevolent fairy Godmother?

No problem.

Two black kids on a peewee hockey team? Give me a break.

How is that going to play in Peoria?

I think it's funny he'd cite Lara Logan, after she got nailed for inaccurate reporting on Libya/Benghazi (CBS had to retract her whole story) and is married to a rich defense contractor who profits from all our mindless forever wars.

of course she thinks the media is "too liberal" and should unquestionably cheer on more wars. It makes her rich!

I love how it's now people seeking out unbiased sources for information when it's not that at all ...it's seeking out sources for information that confirm or reaffirm a preexisting disposition or opinion and has been that for the better part of 20yrs now.


The idea that this "establishment" media is now giving any credibility to this Pecker at the National Enquirer says all you need to say about how fucking skewed FACTS and THE TRUTH have become. The president of the US goes on rambling, nonsensical rants full of sound bites, mistruths, lies and outright false assertions ....but let's not jump to conclusions here, perhaps there is some validity to the entire Justice Department, FBI and Intelligence communities being engaged in a vast conspiracy against Trump because he's too smart and successful ...and CNN had better get a 8-screen split of people screaming about it or be accused of being "biased."

Noam Chomsky once pointed out that the intent of all this is to leave people too confused to do anything, so they fight and argue amongst themselves, like we do on this board.

You're right though, and it's horrifying to me that VERY FEW people have the ability to weigh evidence and are all too susceptible to the bullshit "You have to listen to both sides" argument, even when one side has a financial interest in something, and/or has repeatedly lied or been horribly wrong.

For example nobody in the media who pushed for the Iraq War should still be viewed as a credible source on foreign policy issues (or even still have a job in media), yet they all still mysteriously do...

Are you really so clueless as to not know that it's satire, and they have done it to every single president since the show started. Same with the late night guys, do you honestly believe if Hillary won she would not be getting the same treatment? :nuts:

absolutely 100% yes, and you have to be out of your mind to think otherwise.

 

[Spartanmack]

awesome - top 3 post of 2019.

 

[Gulo Blue]

Probably different interpretations of 'same treatment'. Of course the same people would make fun of Clinton, and there's no way it could be exactly the same. In part because so many people involved in comedy really dislike Trump and in part because Trump is just more funny to make fun of and in part because Trump doesn't like being made fun of and reacts.

 

[Spartanmack]

it's either the same or it isn't. Anyone who thinks it would be the same for Hillary, who the bulk of media literally fawned over is out of their mind. Even these shows (SNL and late night comedy/talk) treated the two candidates very differently during the campaign - it wasn't even remotely the same in type or quantity.

To be fair to SNL, as good as Kate McKinnon is, it was probably hard for her to duplicate Clinton?s bland unlikability in a funny and satiric way, so she kinda went the other way with it.

You know I'm not going to agree with that approach.

Funny isn't objective, but I think it's tough to imagine not being able to see that Trump is funnier than Clinton. Pantsuits can only get you so far.

Yes.

Trump is much funnier than she is in many, many ways.

 

[Spartanmack]

so why not go after her for all of her lies and misdeeds like they do with Trump? that's the point I'm getting at. Clinton is in the same league as trump when it comes to horrible people, but they like Clinton so they look past all the horribly shitty things she does and instead act as if her personality is her only flaw exploitable for laughs.

 

[Spartanmack]

You know I'm not going to agree with that approach.

of course - and you probably knew I wouldn't agree with the dismissive and vague "there are probably different interpretations of 'same treatment'"

there obviously are different interpretations but the ones who interpret what happened to be the same are wildly mistaken - they're fill of shit.
