POLL: What do you expect from the major media?

[dblack]

/-----/ We're just following the democRAT play book on strawman arguments.

What on earth for??

 

[ChrisL]

It's true. Liberals have said ALL of those things. No need to distort.

Heh.... this is exactly what I'm talking about. "Liberals" might have said those things, or at least that's what your stereotype tells you. But it's not what I said. I said Trump was not a Nazi, but rather an unhinged, ego-maniac. I said SOME cops are murdering racists, that it's a real problem that we should address. And I said that I don't want to walk around armed to feel safe in public.

But rather than respond to what I said, you open up your bigot's playbook, find the chapter on "Crazy shit Liberals Say", and retrofit. No thanks.

I don't care. If you aren't out to take my rights, then I whatever. I have nothing to say to you either way.

How many guns do you own?

Are you trying to ask me a personal question? I hope not.

So you have zero firearms yet you feel insecure with someone not taking away what you don't have...

Who said that? Why don't you shut up, putz?

 

[ChrisL]

How many guns I have, if I even OWN a gun, is not any of your business and is irrelevant to my argument.

Let's first define "major media" fairly specifically: ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times.

From what I've seen here on several threads, it appears we don't expect our major media to provide a comprehensive, objective look at the news any more. Lefties defend CNN and MSBNC's bias by attacking FOX. Righties do the opposite. Neither side appears to claim at this point that their favored sources are unbiased.

Me, I'd like to see a comprehensive look at the news, and I'll draw my own conclusions and seek out my own details.

I agree I'd like more details and less spin in the news, but there are many, many areas which I am not expert in and analysis is helpful from people who are. The trick is to listen to analysis from various viewpoints, and hopefully that will help, but not always. A lot of people don't have the time or interest to do all that. So yes, I think a comprehensive, objective look at the news would be very helpful.
Unfortunately, I think it's too late for that Mac. Both ends of the spectrum have gone so far off the deep end that they will say the truth is "propaganda."
I miss Walter Cronkite, who would NOT approve of how the MSM is handling Trump. He said "In seeking truth you have to get both sides."

Up YOURS. Don't address my posts then.

Flint.

 

[ChrisL]

And no I will not. I am sick and tired of this shit, and I am dedicated to fighting back. Say what you will, putzes. The answer to your newest useless gun control measures is NO. If you feel scared and unsafe because of freedom, then move, so that you and we can be happy. There is no need to TAKE anything from anyone else because you are a paranoid loon afraid of ordinary American citizens.

If you seek thruth and you have a choice between watching CNN or FOX, which would you choose?

 

[dblack]

Has anyone on this thread read, or seen a production of, the Ibsen play An Enemy of the People? It was written over a hundred years ago, but as relevant as ever.

Larry Flint - notorious publisher of Hustler (a porn mag). The quote's not from him though. Just being silly.

That question is almost as silly as the OP's poll.

Well considering that the majority of social issues were the same then as now no surprise...

Tough question?

 

[ChrisL]

Libertarians, centrists, independents, conservatives - none of them seem to be trying to interfere or infringe or anyone else's rights. That seems to be the domain of the leftists. Whining, crying (we have the pictures), rioting, looting, assaulting (we have the pictures), throwing temper tantrums to get others to give into them is what we have here. Enough of them already. We need some new solutions that are less stagnant and stale and corrupt.
