Just because the mainstream media peddles the same toxic narrative you do with slightly less indignant enthusiasm, it does not make them lazy.

They are simply pandering to the average citizen, and so need to dilute it down for a blander and broader palate.

Are they really? Because when I see the "media" I see far more toxic bullshit than I see Ceecee write, who usually says she doesn't trust the mainstream media as an unbias source anyway, and frankly I am an average citizen who is beyond sick of their damn biases.

I would say the problem doesn't seem to be that much in the bias as much as in plain BS and being blind to reality. To the point that you have to ask if you are even watching news or just something that looks like the news. What is whole new level from a simple "bias".

Really? I find ceecee far more toxic than the media, a consequence of being farther left than an already far left media. While the media dislikes anyone on the right, she takes it to a whole new level. If you don't believe me see if you can find a post from her that mentions people on the right without some kind of awful derogatory language or name calling. Might be harder to see it if you're not right leaning yourself.

Journalism here is now opinion pieces disguised as objective and tweets combined to supposedly be the opinion of a majority.

She knows I was a former Republican and she doesn't call me names. And if the media disliked anyone on the right, MSNBC sure as shit wouldn't have Nicole Wallace working for them as one of their anchors. The former RNC chair, Michael Steele appears on a regular basis as a guest as well as Steve Schmidt, David Jolly, Max Boot and others. Hell, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough was a Republican Florida Congressman as was David Jolly.

But while you're bitching about ceecee, you might want to peruse your posting history and you'll surely find one of my posts somewhere in the same thread making fun of your obsession with the left. And millennials.

Just punching back, you have no problem when your boy Trump does it.

It's actually one of the things I do have a problem with him doing. His recent tweet in response to Bushes covid19 message just topped the list of things he's said that pissed me off. I want to tell him I like what you're doing, dude, but fuck- get over yourself already.

Nope nope fake news

Have to ask, what is wrong with Project Veritas? All they do is sneak in cameras and film private interviews. Hellavs lot less shady that what most so called journalists do. Real journalism is dead to be quite honest. It's all activism now. Veritas to me, was a breath of fresh air, as it is how investigative journalism used to be. Even if you disagree with how it's framed, news always had a spin on it.

There is nothing savage in stating the obvious.



However all these adds on both sides seem to subtly and indirectly point to the fact how much China is involved in American politics (through economy).

A very large portion of jobs here got outsourced to places like India and China so the greedy companies could work people for a slaves wage and make a bigger profit. Well, now there's a big issue when we cannot rely on these people and how some of these companies don't have the means to make things here anymore. There are old plants reopening to try and make things here. In a way, I kind of hope this can be a positive for the American people in the form of returning jobs to America, and forcing the greedy companies to pay an actual wage and not enslave innocents in another country.

I do not know about the project, but I do agree real journalism is dead.

Now the 2ish percent of twitter wackjobs decide who is "cancellable" and jump on shit and articles take it and call it a "rise in the people" as if that represents a large majority of people. Haha. I am sick of articles with references to social media. Get back to forming your own opinions without social media. I mean shit, even OPINION PIECES used to be better.

There's nothing ethical about sneaking in cameras and filming private interviews.

Unethical? Really? Playing dirty is sometimes the only thing you can do, to reveal the truth to people. Especially when the media is no longer journalism. It is activism, in mzjor support of Democrats. They wouldn't break the biggest truth bomb in history, if it was in favor of Republicans and you know it. Otherwise right now we would have wall to wall coverage on how the FBI and Obama illegally spied on Trump, and violated his rights as an American citizen, and all you want to say its "unethical" to sneak a camera in on people showing their ugly side as they take advantage of people behind closed doors, in attempt to manipulate peoples opinions on social media. Why are you defending scum? What happened to the "Russian bots stole 2016 election" outrage?

So you'd behave unethically to 'reveal' someone else is unethical or what you consider the so-called truth. Give me a break. lol.
