I think the alt-Right are banking that the Neckbearded violent Jan6 rioters are going to gain more sympathy from the general voting public before November 2024. 

Sympathy for the Neck Beard was a deep cut song from the Rolling Stones.

And here's eight minutes about this "controversy", eight minutes of your life you'll never get back if you watch this:

Remember when Megyn Kelly wanted to be a mainstream media star? Thank god Donald pulled her back to the dark side before she could get her blood coming out of wherever all over us.

Do you suppose Diane Sawyer or Gwen Eiffel ever thought to bring us the news of the day in a little off-one-shoulder frock?

I wonder if these blond Fox-ish right wing bimbos are so bitter because they had to **** men like Rupert Murdoch to get on the air and are jealous of the mainstream female newscasters who didn't?

They wouldn’t have to do that if they actually good at media. Megyn Kelly, for one, showed just how far up her own ass she was when she got her mainstream shot. Can you imagine what those women at NewsHax and Overthrow America have to do?

[chasfh]

Speaking of NewsHax (or NewsHacks, if you prefer): 

To be clear, saying in a lawyerly fashion that the election results are “legal and final” is definitely not the same as saying they are valid with no evidence of fraud.

[oblong]

Yep. Just like when you ask a Republic congressman or governor “did Biden win?” And they say “He’s president”

[mtutiger]

This framing in the byline for a poll showing nearly 2/3rds of Americans having an unfavorable view of Trump is just wild...

On the subject of media bias, if anyone is looking for a news source that tries to play in the middle instead of shilling for the far right (Fox) or the far left (MSNBC), I've found News Nation to be a pretty balanced network.   Whenever I've watched, they seem to focus on just reporting news without pushing any narratives.  Didn't even realize I had them on my cable package until a few weeks ago.

Far left? 

[romad1]

I would define extremist positions as those that are anti-Constitutional.   NBC appears to be rigid in its defense of the Constitution.

Yes, MSNBC has gone too far left.  They spend the majority of their time now pushing racial and LGTBQ issues.  It's one thing to cover stories honestly and from both sides, but when you're ignoring one side of things to push an agenda, I consider that "far left" or "far right"

For an example, look at the latest string of mobs of people rushing into stores and stealing everything in site.  Almost all of those committing the crimes are blacks.  Turn on Fox and you'll see them practically playing the footage on a loop.  Turn on MSNBC and you won't see any coverage of it.  Then flip the page and find a story about a black person being shot.  Fox will give in the least amount of coverage possible while MSNBC runs it non-stop.

 

Fox and MSNBC are both sides of the same coin.

I'm allowing you to carry on.  I don't see the point of arguing.  Your attitudes toward race and gender probably reflect a lot of people out there.

My attitudes towards race and gender and pretty much every other issue is that they aren't as simple as people on both sides want to make them out to be.  That's what this whole thread is about, bias.  My opinions tend to piss people off on both sides of the issues as I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle and most people these days can't accept anything that doesn't fit into that neat little box of ideas that they're carrying around.

Ahhhh I get it now.  No need to say anything else, I see exactly what you're all about.

All about it.  Yep.

Remember about 4 comments ago when you were going to stop?  The fact that you're still trying to poke and prod makes it even more apparent exactly what you're looking for here.

Sorry that you got so triggered over someone calling your precious MSNBC "far left".    You'll get through these trying times, I promise you will.
