First, how would they know, and second, it's unconstitutional. Should we also nullify the votes of BLM supporters calling to "fry 'em like bacon"? No matter how distasteful these people are, it's free speech. |
I liked it. To the first PP, I think we're supposed to use a lamb's blood. (Poor thing.) Pass the word! |
lol... so what you are saying is that if a news source is critical of Trump then they are no longer unbiased. Sigh, this is why we keep calling you names. I try not to call you names, but fail every day because of posts like your's. |
+1 Drama student? |
? Didn't I just say there was bipartisan support for Trump to denounce the KKK? I don't have a strategy for 2018. I'm actually not that into politics, and I'm a former R. I just see how divided this country is and fail to see Trump doing anything to unite it. |
Sorry, but when every single article (or 98% of them) twists everything around to show Trump in the worst possible light, then yes, of course it is biased. Would you say that Breitbart, which does the same thing from the opposite side, is unbiased? |
Extreme vetting. It's not unconstitutional to protect constitutional rights. BLM's purpose is not to "fry 'em like bacon", although that is a distasteful and misguided thing for someone to say. Can't say the same for the purposes of the neo-Nazis and the KKK. |
Got it. So Republicans reject the neo-Nazis and KKK on Twitter to look nice, but that's as far as it goes. |
OK.. so what are the great outcomes? NAFTA - Trump's not done anything yet. TPP - he pulled out of it, and now the farmers, who overwhelmingly are R and voted for him, are really worried ACA - I don't even need to say anything about this NK - there was very little chance that Kim would've bombed Guam, and even Putin said that NK would rather have their people eating grass than give up their nukes. China and Russia, NK's closest allies, couldn't even prevent them from getting the nukes. Illegal Immigrants - what town/city not along the border has seen a dramatic decrease in illegal immigrants? Have you seen them all disappear? The Wall - so, it turns out that MX won't be paying for it. American taxpayers will. Certainly the illegal immigrants won't be paying for it. You want to focus on outcomes, but to date, there really is not much you can point to in terms of outcome. My brain is wired to use critical thinking skills, and to recognize when I'm being bamboozled by a snake oil salesman. And sure, past POTUS have had their personal issues, but I have a line and some standards. Trump goes below them. I'm sorry you have such low standards for your POTUS. Basically, what I hear you saying is "who cares if he shoots someone on 5th ave as long as he does things that I agree with." And I'm a former R. |
Let me turn that question back to you: If every newspaper had a story saying that flooding from Hurricane Harvey was "devastating," would you say that is biased or would you say that is merely reporting things as they are? Drawing this back to your Dear Leader: there is a reason that so many publications report bad things about Trump. It is because we can all see what is before our eyes. These news organizations seem to bend over backwards to find any reason to say something good when he even manages to tie his shoes, or read a speech off a teleprompter. It's just he does so. many. bad. things. all. the. time. It would be impossible for a news outlet not to report on these things, because he is the president and what he does and says has to be reported on. This reminds me. NPR had Ben Carson on this morning, to talk about what his agency is going to do for those affected by Harvey. The interview started off so pleasant and friendly - but he could not answer the questions he was given in any sensical way. Should the interviewer have cut off the interview rather than let Carson keep talking, making himself sound less and less informed or competent? |
^ And I didn't call you a single bad name. |
Thank you kindly from refraining from the name-calling. As to the other, it's a facf that there is nothing good about Harvey. I would expect all negative articles. But to say that there is nothing good about Trump is NOT a fact, it's an opinion, and choosing to present everything in a negative fashion simply reflects the WaPo's bias. The fact that you can't see this reflects your own. |
DP.. WSJ is a well respected news source. Why do you suppose they have so many negative articles about Trump? |
^ In fact what I said is that every news outlet goes out of their way to find anything good they can say about him. How many "this is the day he became president" stories have you seen now - fifty, a thousand?
I can see my own bias. I fucking hate this guy. I really hate him. I hate who is he, what he says, what he represents, what he brings out in other people. I hate that we have to follow every dumb thought that comes into his head and flies through his fingers. I did not watch the Apprentice; I have never found him entertaining. I do not find him entertaining or even baseline competent now. I also work in journalism - not politics, don't worry - and I know how this stuff gets reported. You are naive as hell if you think that the reason there are a lot of bad stories about Trump is because of bias. There are only so many ways you can report on a shit sandwich. |
Thanks. Okay. |
