No liberal media bias there at all (said with the utmost sarcasm). I also noticed BJS hasn't had much to say since the fake news is finally being called out for what they truly are....

He's probably much too busy attending another Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rally.

Ms. Tippy Tippy Top....I cannot stand that c*nt.  She needs to spend a week in Venezuela to see how her suggested policies and redistribution of wealth ideas work...

The best comment I’ve seen about her is one guy saying “I’d like to fuck her brains out”, and his buddy replies “Somebody beat you to it”  :bigup:

Back to the thread tpoic... here is a somewhat dated, but relevant article.

I do not actually disagree with the point made by the article you referenced. Notice that in my original post, I do not actually disagree with the idea that the media has a liberal bias.

What people here do not seem to enjoy is being told that the "truth has a liberal bias", or "facts have a liberal bias". The subtext of this being that conservatives (particularly this new breed of Trump and/or Tea Party conservatives, not the old school fiscal conservatives) cannot appreciate the difference between actual truth and whatever information that agrees with their opinion.

So sure, in an effort to respect truth, I'll admit that the media has a liberal bias, but you, in pursuit of that same respect for truth, have to admit that CNN (and every other news source Trump lambasts) is not "fake news" just because they disagree with Trump's political message on a daily basis.

In other words, whether or not the media is liberally biased as a whole, does not change the fact that they may be reporting the truth anyway.

If you cannot agree to that then any source of truth via the media, even in a conservatively biased media, would be lost on you.

"Ouch" is the wrong reaction. Frequent retractions and apologies is how you know a news source endeavors to focus on truth.

. . . Or just doesn't care about the truth when they broadcast the story the first time. Its only after they get caught that the retractions and apologies begin, and infrequently at best.

The "ouch" was with regard to not only printing a retraction but additionally having to pay damages.  That's the ouch part.

Anyone missing BJS, MD?  I figured he would be live tweeting throught the SOTU.  :bla:

After seeing the latest out of VA (Gov, LtGov and AG all being accused of or admitting transgressions of one form or another) I believe that the sharks in the feeding frenzy have started to turn on one another.

What's even funnier is that the next in line to everyone with trangressions is a Republican...that would really sting to the Dems if he got the governorship of VA.  :o
