You mean like China with their gait and facial recognition to go along with their social credit scores? We aren't going there.

The only time I've felt authoritarian control in this country is during the Biden administration. We will be just fine through this term, and the country will move on with some (ideally) better political candidates.

You are so misinformed... You're the one who now needs to wake TF up my friend.

To make sure I address your ad nauseam "what about (insert Dems, Biden, Harris, Leftist, and so on 🥱)" objection once again, yes, there were definitely controls under Biden, I agree, and I for one in no way was gonna get that unproven vax, hell no!).

But that's all in the past now, and we need to be worried about what's coming, if you can't see what's coming and are blind as a bat, I can't help you, sorry.

lol what about having a tip line to report "media bias", seems pretty CCP to me.


What about the official webpage of the white house having a category dedicated to "Leftwing Lunacy".


Why is the white house so insecureeeee

He lost me about 4 minutes in. I have no knowledge of Ground News or their practices, so I'll take what he says at face value until I see otherwise. I'll also give him that some of the Media Bias sites and their ratings or lack of transparency could be problematic, but I think their data is generally close enough to be considered a good representation of many publications.

That said, he's trying to make a point that the New York Times is NOT left leaning and it's actually moderate or possibly even right leaning? No, sorry, I'm not buying that. For starters, their target market is New York and the surrounding areas first, and data shows other urban dense areas that are left leaning are their other big markets which includes locations like California and Jersey. Second, he gives some examples of why he feels they're not left leaning, but the examples are circumstantial evidence or they completely ignore contradicting stats that say otherwise. Third, I just came back from dinner as I'm writing this point so I've lost interest and my train of thought. Carry on.

TBH I'm not even sure why I posted this here because I won't be able to convince anyone that the NYT is a moderate paper.

(Moderate = depending capital interests at the expense of the working class while parroting liberal view points to appear as champagne socialists at their most "woke" and outright conversative in their most extreme)

I think that is a tough hill to climb. They're certainly not a far left publication as I'm sure some right wing propaganda sites might say. The general consensus in searches shows they're viewed as Center-Left or Left Leaning and that feels accurate for editorials, while opinion pieces are seen by people as more progressive at times.

NYT might be fairly middle of the road as far as journalism goes. The journalism profession though is pretty obviously left of center which is what it is. Probably good to just take most things with a grain of salt other than objective fact reporting (the Yankees won 6-1, 32 people died in a tornado in Kentucky, etc.)

Let's see... She has zero experience running a major TV newsroom (different from running a niche political publication) and she's running a MAGA propaganda shop.

Is it any wonder everything she took over was gonna tank?

I want to extend my deepest condolences to Drayer in this tough time. I know it may seem like you’ve lost all your trusted sources for the most unbiased news, but you’ll always have half baked Facebook memes from seniors with early onset dementia.

Bishop? #1? Only other guys who’ve thrown up their FB feeds.

Is the Talarico paid influencer army the ones calling random clinics in Ohio? The Russian bot one?

lol no fascination. Two guys who routinely post from their Facebook feed.

Russian bot farm getting struck only impacts our resident Twitter Fingers (Drayer).

In the last couple of months or so, I haven't posted but 2-3 times in the political threads. Care to share my Facebook posts from anytime before then?

This is where Toronto spends the next couple of hours searching my posts for that elusive Facebook post so he can prove he's right.

Whenever I see TG post, the song by the Beatles comes into my mind, "Here comes the sun, ...", except I sing, "Here comes the lies" (or, here come the spin). His fascination borders on paraphilia (TY NDkW for AI).

6 weeks later and every dribble of this is bullshit.
Nah, you're full of shit...

She's still a ball of chaos: MAGA-Curious CBS Boss’ Bust-Up With ‘60 Minutes’ Legend Leaks

And she's still in jeopardy of getting her managerial responsibilities cut: Bari Weiss’ fate up in the air as Paramount prepares to close Warner Bros merger: sources

The only thing I'll concede is that a final decision has not been made but is being very seriously considered. They're waiting for the dust to settle on Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Time Warner Discovery before deciding.

Like I said before managerial vs. editorial are two different things, but hey, she's still a Netanyahu-loving raging Zionist so that will go a long way in her career for sure.

NDkW, you've mentioned that you only recently started discovering geo-politics/politics. So, I'd say you have no experience however, that's not stopping you from spouting off and also calling others out for not agreeing with your beliefs. Look in the mirror and ask, is there any reason why I wouldn't tank?

And I give 2 Fs for Bari Weiss but your hypocrisy is killing me.

I didn’t say you weren’t radically opposed to anything to the right of a Portland Whole Foods. I said your claim was a bust.
