    Get your barf bags ready....MSNBC has reached a new low.... even if you have thought they were at their lowest already.... they are so obsesses with Trump they can't help themselves... watch this sleezy clip on what their predetermined take is on the upcoming trial... really they are scraping the bottom of the barrel to think this is a product they want to sell... they have lied about Trump from day one and continue until this day... fair and objective journalism is not in their vocabulary anymore..

    I worked at newspapers for 40 years. Eight different newspapers. Delivered newspapers, sold advertising, designed advertising, composing room, typesetter, letter pressman, stereotype room, offset pressman, hot type, cold type, foreman and retired as a printing executive. All newsrooms have always consisted of liberal editors, liberal reporters, liberal journalists, and liberal columnist. Their reporting always showed a liberal leaning. Maybe one or two exceptions. Same in the TV news outlets. I feel qualified to state that each year they lean further and further to the left. Editorials smack of socialism. Journalism attracts lefties. Yep, today we get half-truths, lies, puff pieces, and some important stories buried on 14-A. The media has no shame. We see it daily.

    That was the creepiest thing I've seen in a while. He's literally trying to influence the Jury. He's addressing them directly. Is that even legal? Damn, talk about acting like SCUM. These people just go lower every day don't they?
    ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

    Yep... some folks get up and suck down a coffee in the morning with fake MSNBC in the background while they get ready... walk through a lobby and CNN is on... no wonder the left is so confused when the fact are presented...

    Whenever I examine a controversial issue, I always check a critical site called https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news , and then click on the pull-down at the top, which takes you to https://www.allsides.com/media-bias

    It lists a surprisingly large number of news orgs, influence-peddlers, propagandists, and objective news sources as well. You can discover a LOT about those sources -- and the authors within them - by using allsides. :twocents:

    The "MSM" is some amorphous, ubiquitous, nebulous big, blue meany for some paranoid, hyper-partisan ideologues.

    Specificity is required, and the ability to distinguish advocacy journalism (that abounds across the spectrum) from objective reportage is mandatory.

    Admitting what sources of information one regards as trustworthy can be telling.

    Hyperbolic, hyper-partisan propaganda abounds, and vulnerable dupes swallow it. E.g.,


    The sheer magnitude of Biden family corruption uncovered by the House Oversight Committee can only be described as breathtaking...
    Joe Biden may have jeopardized our nation’s security by selling out America for cold hard cash.
    Screen Shot 2024-04-13 at 11.32.14 AM.png
    Documents show that over $10 million in foreign money flowed like a river into more than 20 shell companies and LLCs created for the Bidens’ financial benefit, said Comer. Much of it was then surreptitiously shuffled around various accounts before it landed in the hands of nine members of the president’s family. Those companies have no apparent business purpose other than to serve as a receptacle for hiding cash derived from suspected influence peddling schemes overseas. ... There are still more documents to be examined, suggesting that the Biden profiteering could far exceed the millions of dollars already tracked.

    Eleven month's later, we know that the goober spewing this crap that Fox News was aiding and abetting was parroting Putin's propaganda to damage the United States. Actual pretexts for charges or articles of impeachment could never be concocted.

    Let me get this straight, a guy wearing makeup is complaining about a guy wearing makeup. I can only guess what he thinks about when he sees drag queens and trannies.

    You have this from AXIOS - 56% of Americans agree with the statement that "Journalists and reporters are purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations."

    58% think that "most news organizations are more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position than with informing the public."


    https://www.axios.com/2021/01/21/media-trust-crisis


    Only 32% of all Americans trust the media to report the news fully, fairly and accurately. 29% of all Americans don’t have very much trust in the media reporting the news fairly, accurately and fully while 39% don’t have any trust at all in the media to do so.


    https://news.gallup.com/poll/512861...utm_content=morelink&utm_campaign=syndication


    Most Americans know the media is pushing their biases, their political slants and ideology. The trust isn’t there as more and more Americans are turning to alternate news sources. As for MSNBC, it’s nothing more than a propaganda wing of the liberal democratic party in my view. The same as FoxNews is a propaganda wing for the Republican Party. I don’t watch either anymore.

    We live in cynical times during which "the best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity."

    Paramount to news businesses is profit. There are those who believe they can maximize it by pandering to a targeted ideological sectors of the populace.

    Facts still matter - as are ascertained by empirical data - i.e., certified election results, substantive evidence, sworn testimony, and the discrediting of baseless accusations by the inability to contrive actual indictments, etc.

    Consider the dozens of frivolous challenges to the 2020 election results that could not stand up to judicial scrutiny.

    Yes, you still have roughly a third of all Americans who think Biden’s win was illegitimate. Most of that third are republicans who won’t consider an election legitimate unless their candidate wins. I think the graph, second graph in this Gallup article is very interesting. Seems the party that wins an election, their confidence in the accuracy of our election systems grows, the party that loses an election, their confidence drops after they lost.

    There have been losers as long as there have been democratic elections, but a sore loser denying the truth and attacking democracy itself is something new and dangerous.

    Screen Shot 2022-03-18 at 8.23.41 AM.png

    After audits, recounts, investigations, and court challenges have all confirmed the legitimacy of the democratic process, the patriotic thing a loser should do is to respect the will of the People, not incite goons to attack police by lying to them.

    November 13, 2020

    ... “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double-checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result,” the coordinating bodies on election infrastructure and security said in a joint statement issued by the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

    The statement directly contradicts Trump, who has made unfounded allegations of widespread voting irregularities and fraud.
