2020 General Presidential Election Thread

[PaloAltoCougar]

the last night or two, Trump has been describing Biden as the worst candidate in American political history, and that he (Trump) doesn't know what he'd do if he lost, "maybe leave the country." As if we needed another reason to vote against Trump. He's also been encouraging chants of locking up Hillary (still) and the Bidens. If karma is a thing, Trump should look at countries with no extradition treaty.

Dan Rather is the sleaziest and one of most damaging journalist of the last 40 years. He has no standing nor room to talk about Republicans. May his journalistic soul burn in hell.

lol Trump is such a student of American politics. Biden is actually a fantastic political candidate. One can argue that Trump running for reelection is, in fact, the worst political candidate in American history running on his record..

Settle down. His career was disgraced a bit, you're going way overboard, and seem unaware of how Fox News operates.

Bullshit. You’ve tipped your hand 100% here.

Ha ha, I love the constant "you are a nazi Trump supporter" if someone isn't all in on Biden. It's like I'm dealing with a middling high school debate nerd. "You've tipped your hand 100% here." STFU. You know nothing of me.

I'm not going to defend Fox News, but the left's largest blind spot is acknowledging just how pervasive their world view is overly represented in national news media (let alone entertainment media). It is so skewed and has been for so long, you guys are incapable of even recognizing it. Sure Fox News has been absolutely disgusting during the Trump years, but before before Trump it was more centrist than MSNBC but was still ridiculed for being a racist propaganda outlet. All the while dishonest "journalists" from like Dan Rather, Brian Williams, and straight from the DNC personalities such as Stephanopoulos peddle biased bullshit constantly. The pervasiveness of the left leaning bias led to the creation of Fox News and ultimately played the decisive role in creating Trump (both as a response to the right rarely getting a fair shake and for strategically elevating his coverage in 2015 for ratings and to give HRC an easier candidate to beat). You guys have absolutely no moral high ground on the state of the news media. I love that the news media is aggressive at holding the GOP presidents to account. It's doing its job. But it would be a better country if the same scrutiny was given to the Dems.

Dude you're the one with incivility and name-calling. Chill. No one called you a "Nazi Trump supporter," so knock that shit off dude. You're certainly a right-winger, but that's no secret.

MSNBC is famously racist? They are biased, and I've never said they aren't, but Fox News has never been centrist been any metric and it's strange you feel the need to contend that point.

You're the one who threw out some serious hyperbole and invective, so don't lecture about others moral high ground. The mainstream media refers to a gargantuan collection of entities, and several of them do great work. The right-wing persecution complex concerning the media is sad and has led some down the path of believing everything Trump says over the dreaded MSM is true. Our MSM is pretty great compared to most of the world's and they have better track record than Fox, talk radio, the Koch bros. funded Reason magazine etc.,Ben Shapiro or Alex Jones.

The first comment wasn't directed at you, I should have clarified. I have no animosity towards you Frank.

But you are kind of proving my point, you are just not seeing what is obvious to people of the right. Before Trump, MSNBC was further away from the center than Fox News. Fox News provided more diversity of viewpoints than MSNBC. Fox News news journalists were more impartial than NBCs were.I know you will probably disagree due to the points I made in the earlier post. But unless the news media stops putting their finger on the scale, there will always be the desire for a wrecking ball like Trump among the GOP base. I hold out hope that the media will recognize this and try to conceal it more once Trump is gone.

I'm being entirely genuine, when I encourage to read up on Roger Ailes, who spearheaded the creation of Fox News. His inspiration came in part form the resignation of Nixon. He felt the GOP needed an outlet to protect their interests and help avert future leaders from being scandalized out of office.

Love that rat quote but agree that dan rather is kind of sleazy.

[Flystripper]

Fox News has never been fair and balanced. The only balance they bring is that they are the mainstream right wing outlet. They balance the left but are hardly balanced nor have they ever been. They put their hand on the right wing side of the scale.

But it's one hand against 5 on the other side, which is USUC's point.

Ha!!! You posted a link from MSM you nazi communist. Q gonna be PISSED [emoji36]

That is why their ratings are high. They are the only game in town for conservatives and they are loud enough to balance the scale.
