we don't, and I guess this thread has really kind of run it's course. Fact is, CNN, WP, NYT used to be touted as the gold standard of journalism, but it seems everyone acknowledges that at this point every media outlet has a preferred bias and since we know that we can account for it.

I just don't think the "gold standard" guys acknowledge it.

Based on this past election where a majority were wayyyy off and the continuing approval ratings numbers given today...it’s fake news at this point.

Can’t be trusted as a source for reliable information. It’s simple

[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.

CNN has another non-negative headline about Trump right now:

Opinion: Trump may have it right with his Pakistan tweet

I am curious if this is CNN offering an olive branch for the new year.

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.

See ,It's not that I am against the stance ,I am against a moron like trump tweeting it. He has to act like a president and he seems not to be able to do it.
