    I recognize the MAGA rhetoric.

    There's always a conspiracy somewhere when you run out of arguments.

    This was known and discussed long before MAGA or Trump were a thing

    Do you think you only need BC if you’re whoring around? And she wanted it covered by insurance… Like many other medications.

    Amazing how a Trump supporter seems to think that fact checking is not fair.

    I wonder why?

    I marvel at the dems when they preach how Biden saved the U.S. from covid, and now accept covid is the reason he has stepped down..

    The DNC total control of their base, it's nothing short of scify, it clearly will be a blockbuster movie ;)

    Your post just shows how you, and everyone on the far right, incorrectly views the "media"

    MOST media outlets are trying to get to the truth, regardless of what that truth might be.

    If a media outlet got legitimate information that a politician was hiding something (and what that something was) they would LOVE to expose it. That's how names are made.
    You think Woodward and Bernstein were household names before Watergate?
    You think the people that broke the Iran Contra affair were doing it for partisan reasons?

    Exposing corruption, no matter which side, is the kind of thing that leads to Pulitzer Prizes.

    But, as we saw in the Trump trial, Trump and the MAGA Republicans view media as a tool to be used. To hide their own corruption or to amplify the "corruption" of others. Truth is a hinderance to the MAGA Republicans. The MSM, for the most part, attempts to find the truth and let the chips fall where they may. But finding the "truth" is not always easy, nor does it always arrive tied up with a bow.

    Republicans are more than happy to go with rumors, half truths and innuendos and then scream that things are being covered up. There is no journalistic integrity with the RW (and there are some LW "news sources" who do the same on the other side). The loudest "journalists" on the RW are the ones who least deserve the title "journalist"

    When I tune in to debates, I am not interested in the moderator's opinion on anything. I am deeply interested in the opinions of the two participants. I watch dozens of debates every year on youtube and the moderation is almost always exceptional. The worst moderation I have ever seen is in Presidential debates. That was why it was quite shocking in the Trump/Biden debate to see actual neutral moderation. The moderators managed to keep their mouths shut and opinions to themselves. I can't remember that happening in any other Presidential debate in my lifetime. The Biden/Trump debate proves that the MSM knows how to do good moderation, they simply choose to not to do it.

    Virtually no one, especially the still thinking Left, still believes that the "fact checkers" are "fair" or even competent.

    Fact Checkers = MSM = Fake News

    Which is not to say that fact checkers never tell the truth -- they do -- sometimes -- eventually -- often after several years. :)

    ““The problem with fact-checking is not that it’s a liberal media plot. The problem is that fact-checking — like everything — is sometimes a lazy, half-assed business. If fact-checking is as important as it claims, its practitioners need to acknowledge its problems and fix them.””

    “Perhaps the biggest lie of all is that fact-checking can act as some sort of short-cut to the truth. For news consumers, there’s really no getting around the time-intensive work of paying attention to multiple sources of information and making their own judgments.

    And I’ll bestow my own “Pants on Fire” award to anyone who claims otherwise.”

    If Biden isn't fit to even run for the office, how is he fit to actually be President? And can "giggles" Harris fill those shoes.

    I'm not interested in their "opinion" either.

    It's called FACT checking for a reason.

    A debate should not be a moderator injecting their opinion, but it also should not be two hours of a candidate lying his a$$ off with no one bothering to see if what he is saying is even close to the truth.

    A candidate must earn my vote. No voting for “lesser of evils”. Keep voting for lesser of evils and both candidates get more evil each election cycle. That’s why we are where we are today.

    But I’m not really moderate I guess. :)

    The left has been lied to so long now they actually prefere not to be bothered with honest fact.. It seems as if the party would rather live a lie then deal with truth..

    Most if not all of the ad hominem attacks launched by Biden at Trump were based on debunked lies spread by the Fake News MSM.
    But I am not sure JRB knew the he was relying on Fake News for his rebuttal. Biden's debate prep team really let him down.
