[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When Reagan did away with the Fairness Doctrine.  This gave birth to Fox, a right wing propaganda network.  The people are misinformed and tricked on Fox and don't know fact from fiction.  [/quote]

And MSNBC and CNN don't misinform those who don't follow your vision lock, stock and barrel?  Please, people migrate to the news source that best supports their viewpoints.  You are not different in your selection of MSNBC. GTFU.[/quote]

I'm so sick of this "liberal media" argument.  No, actually, intelligent people read a variety of sources and think critically. They are able to distinguish between talking points, opinions, and fact.  And just b/c facts don't favor your argument doesn't mean there is "bias." Climate change being a prime example.  The vase majority of scientists agree it's happening and why. But the flat earth crowd doesn't like it so it's "fake news" or "biased." And they are given equal time to say so in the media. When their position is not valid. All because of kowtowing by media to not appear too liberal. It's revolting.

I blame the spiral downwards in politics to the disgusting group on the right during the Clinton administration.  They went in to those years aiming to bring as much chaos as possible (read the accounts of the calls Bill C. received prior to running from politicians on the right.) Clinton had some major personal flaws, for sure.  But, the vitriol, the bullshit investigations (some warranted, much was not), the right lean on social issues . . . those folks made people feel ok with their prejudices, nastiness, and smear campaigns as a method of doing business.  Gringrich and his ilk are the worst of this country.  This continues today with Ryan, Pence, McConnell and others.  No.Shred of integrity. It's win at all costs. Party before country. I loathe every single one of of the and will now be a single ticket D voter until I die.

I agree that Gingrich did a lot to damage the political system. The Contract with America was ridiculous. The remember Bob Dole saying that whatever was happening in the House, the Senate Republicans didn't have a contract with anyone. [/quote]
