[quote=CRedskinsRule;1184328]I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this will shock no one that I hold this view, but Climate Change is one the Democratic Party's greatest inventions. It is the equivalent of Religion to the right.

(RELIGION: You can't disprove it because FAITH, the effects are far off enough to be minimally impactful now, BUT if we don't fix it, the rapture/apocalypse will occur and we will be doomed - DOOOMED I TELL YOU. Because FAITH.)

Climate Change: You can't disprove it because SCIENCE, the effects are far off enough to be minimally impactful now, BUT if we don't fix it, the global tipping point will occur and we will be doomed - DOOOMED I TELL YOU. Because SCIENCE.

And, no I'm not denying an amount of climate change occurs, both naturally, and man-made, anymore than I am saying faith is wrong. I DO disagree with the doomsday prophecies of a slow occurring natural event over the pace of tech advancements.

Not to mention we might be better off if the west and east coasts of the US moved inland about 20 miles (LA downtown is about 16 miles from the ocean). :smashfreak:[/quote]

I agree. It's Always Sunny made a super-convincing argument about how even the best scientists aren't that smart, and it made me switch my position to a more-faith based approach.

Stewart and Colbert presented information and opinion in away that was more honest than most new orgs. They both require you to understand issue and made fun of your own biases.

It was eye opening and an education on modern news.

Stewart has come out and said repeatedly for the news orgs to stop whining about the election...it will be passed down.

Idk, I disagree with most of his decisions but not this one. Pakistan can't have it both ways, we give them hella amounts of funds and it's not exactly a secret they harbor terrorists. Saudi Arabia too. Obama gave them a warning but it obviously wasn't good enough, for once I hope Trump is ballsy enough to follow through with his threats. Yeah I know with all the political instability it might not be wise to threaten the gov't which owns our main route into Afghanistan, but something's gotta give.

I will agree with you but all so I just don't listen to any of that stuff,I don't listen to the radio in that sense. I do my Pandora and my Satellite Radio with my set stations, 60's,70's,Little Steven's Underground Garage the Bridge and the Springsteen channel and believe it or not a little classical every once in a while. For Christmas I was given a very cool stereo where I can play all my old LP's and put them on CD's,point being I really don't listen to anything the Grammy's cover anymore.

Chico I remember you were all over ABC News when the Ross report came out as false (and rightfully so, anything should always be fact-checked before being put out as news and not opinion).

So now that Ross is leaving ABC News do you think ABC deserves credit for this? Obviously he wasn't welcome back in any role like the one he used to fill. Ignore all the "sad day" talk and nonsense, obv. it's just lip service to a guy who spent 20 years there. I guess the question comes down to, is ABC's rep forever tarnished in your eyes because the one journalist who screwed up bigly?

Re: Media Bias
 

I don’t get any thrills from someone losing a job....none. But I certainly think it would be awesome if the mainstream media would present the news and the administration strategy in a manor that was more meaningful way...one that gives both sides of the debate. The hypocrisy of the media to give the pass on obama policies that were inherently harmful and negligent...and turn around and attack every single idea of this administration.

I’m really surprised some can’t simply compare and contrast...it’s now that complex. And the majority of the country distrust the mainstream media or at least holds a negative opinion of it. So it’s not like my position is strange or without merit.

Re: Media Bias
 

The media has set this election up perfectly for the Democrats. They have been spinning the Dems Blue wave theory which is really a self fulfilling prophecy. This election cycle, the Dems have 26 seats up for reelection, and of that 18 will stay Democratic, so on election day, even if the Republicans gain seats (which is quite possible) the story across the media will be how the wave washed over the country. Even if the Republicans win all their seats that are up for grabs and all the seats that are considered up for grabs they would win less then 50% of the open seats.

The msm media will be slobbering over the Democratic victories, even as the Republicans gain seats in the Senate. Then once it's over they will be crying about how the Dems couldn't win the Senate back.

Here's hoping the Senate goes 56-44 Republicans and Chucky loses his lockstep minority.

I agree that the odds are stacked against the Dems here. What's interesting to me is the slant Mitch and his cohorts are going to put out there to their base. Even if no Dems mentioned impeachment whatsoever, I fully expect the right to run on "if you don't vote, the Dems will move forward with impeachment." Combine that with having Trump in office and digging in the more we lefties complain and I fully expect the Dems to lose ground.

Mooby and g1 take the time to google and read her story on how she whored her way into the New York Times job and how they hired her knowing she was fucking her source. That’s their ethics when it comes to journalism. This is on the heels to the revelations their White House reporter who sexually harassed women in the work place who i believe still has a job there.

I just did a quick Google search and have a minimal understanding of what happened, but if you're going to make some claims that they knew she was screwing Wolfe and still hired her I need you to back that up with the proof you have. Sounds like she built her career off Wolfe and once the Times found out they were pissed since it's gonna be another blemish on them for hiring her.

You forgot this part of the artical,why? Like I said the trump cult wants what is good for them,fuck the country.


"Trump continues his streak of surprises. First, he won the election, then he proved far better at manipulating the media, setting the issue agenda and exerting executive authority than might have been expected. He has slowly colonized the Republican Party, achieving a growing uniformity of opinion. The fact that all of this "winning" is not reflecting in his opinion polls -- which still put his job approval below 50% -- only demonstrates that for Trump to triumph in his own particular way, he has to alienate a lot of people on the other side of the argument, to divide the country in two and trust that there are enough of his people in the right number of congressional districts, or electoral votes-rich states, to keep him in authority."

He is purposely dividing our own country so he can win. If that isn't fucking over America I don't know what is.

It is clear in your post it's not the media you don't like Obama's policies ,that's fine it's America we can disagree on policies but to blame it on the Media is BS .

The only republican is G1. I identified as a Republican growing up, voted libertarian from 2004 til this last election, and would have voted Libertarian this time if they didn't put a shit show candidate up. I have a strong conservative bent, particularly on foreign policy/role of government type issues, but when it comes to social views I can't identify with the moralistic side of the Republican base.
