Re: POTUS 45.21 STAND for our great National Anthem

It means Trumpy's refusal to certify the deal because.............................Obama, doesn't mean squat.

And, like with green energy, technology improvements, scientific research, and who knows what else, other countries are going to capitalize and see benefits while the US misses out.

The whole 401(k) thing is catching up to the news cycle. I have a feeling this will be yanked in the next week or so.

What utter tripe. If 65% of American thinks the mainstream media is full of fake news then 65% of America is stupid. If the right is so moral and upstanding, why are the politicians they vote for so hypocritical and vile? Whether or not the media is made up of liberal on the front lines, the ones who are calling the shots hardly are. To say our mainstream media is liberal is just another myth the 1%ers pound home to as many as they can. Calling the media liberal is like calling me an OSU fan because I root for them once a year, when they play Michigan.

The media is biased news, but not necessarily fake news. There is a difference. I would think Repubs, Dems, and Indies can accept that.

The big thing is people are now mistaking "biased" for "fake." And that's not good.

Yes he is. He's always been dumber than a box of hammers. As of late if you put him in a W/C by the nurses' station in a Nursing Home I guarantee you no one would believe he didn't have dementia.

Maybe we should completely invert it. Stop collecting taxes on work at all. Finance the entire government through capital gains and corporate taxes.

Re: POTUS 45.21 STAND for our great National Anthem

I'll go further: you don't think Fox News is biased? Or CNN? If you really think that......sorry, the joke's on you.
 
Re: POTUS 45.21 STAND for our great National Anthem

A two year old power company, with just two employees, based in Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's hometown, was just awarded a $300 Million contract to be the sole company tasked with restoring power throughout Puerto Rico.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/amph...cccc3e-b4d6-11e7-9e58-e6288544af98_story.html

Also, per their submittal, they'll be billing the government for each employee at a rate of almost $300 per hour.

And most likely subcontracting the work out and paying their subs pennies on the dollar.

I think Brent hit the nail on the head.

Bias is in the eye of the beholder. Fake is a matter of objectively verifiable truth. The MSM does have some bias. Fox has no bias per se --
nothing about is an accident, it is all scripted to The Bottom Line. Fox is purely created content -- truth no more enters into it than in a novel. This is consistent with their dual mission both as the public relations department of the GOP and as a veal fattening pen to collect saps to sell useless stuff to.

Fox isn't a news network, it's a theater. The business model of a theater is you attract people with an entertainment product (the movie) in order to cordon them off so you can then sell them garbage (candy, drinks). Fox is attracting people by reflecting back to them their bigotries and myths in the guise of "news" so they feel good about themselves. They are conveying a high. Then they make the money spent to pay for the actors and scripts back by selling advertisers all those eyeballs, and the advertisers sell all the usual TV dreck (cars, beer) in addition to products tailored to the specific self-selected audience (guns, survivalist woo, God Inc. trinkets, knuck knick knacks and books).

Fox' only unique move was to simply call their falsehoods "news." Fox isn't "biased" at all -- they are a deliberate delivery mechanism reflecting back the viewer's self as if it was objective. They were twitter before twitter existed. Every Fox viewer is a little version of Dump, seeing everything in the world as a mirror of his narcissism.

I'm not fully agreeing with you and Brent. Sure, it's biased. But putting CNN and Fox as equally biased is total BS, as far as I'm concerned.

My reference is looking at the rest of the media around the world, and seeing what message they are all saying. Fox and MNSBC are the most biased channels. CNN is only labeled as bias as it's got the gall to publish stories calling out dump and Fox. Which are largely backed up by reports from BBC and NPR. Normal NBC is exactly the same. dump declared open war against the media. So unless they are kissing is poop, like fox and the other really odd ball channels, he sees them as against him personally.

Too many world media researches and prints stories that CNN, NBC, and most of the media all agree with- which puts them far more center than that biased. They just look biased to dump and his stinking pile of crap that follow him because they are lost in the fox fellacio.

So, yes, bias is in the eye of the beholder. But there's also a measure of listening to all of the news the best you can to see which grains of facts are followed the most. Fox isn't one of them. CNN is far more likely to be.

Yep

There's a difference between leaning in a direction and being an active propaganda arm of a party.


Yet another in a long line of false equivalencies.
