I actually feel sadness for them, much more so than hate. I am hopeful one day they will once again be able to think for themselves, but I am not sure we can get there as a society. If the picture offends people, good. People need to realize how harmful such a process is, how harmful Fox News is, and how harmful facism and racism is.

The fact you think they all can’t think for themselves says all about your grasp of the matter and maybe even people at large. You’re making gross generalizations about roughly 63 million voters simply for no other reason than because you don’t like who they elected. You don’t even see an identity beyond who they voted for and that is what’s sad. Total lack of reflection.

Hate the man in office as much as you want (tho I find the extent by which many do is pointless and irrational and irrationally pointless, return to reality- he’s not Santa clause he’s the president of the country and you're presumably an adult not a child. no one is ever going to be happy with the outcome. So carry on or don't and make that identity, but expect to be challenged. If you think President is gonna fill the void for general emptiness , I'm afraid you’re deeply mistaken) but to go after all his supporters as immoral uneducated people. You’re missing the statistical plot. 63 million (give or
Take). That’s a lot of "brainless Nazi Russia bots" isn’t it? Almost an unbelievable amount... isn’t it?

To also assume everyone who votes Democrat is on another level of humanity and intellectualism and morality and all the rest of it, is equally patently absurd.

Get some fresh air - for how you feel about your human centipede like outlook of those who aren't you (sadness vs. hate) is really irrelevant because you are in fact conveying hate, you just don't know it but that doesn't change things

I have no personal dislike for Trump, although no praise either. I actually gave him the benefit of the doubt when he was elected, but he has shown to be completely unfit for the job in every area and instead promotes facism and racism, which is something we don’t need as a country. I’m sure there are Fox News viewers that can think for themselves, but that doesn’t make what Fox News is and represents today any less harmful. If it’s hateful for me to point out how bad of a cocktail Fox News, racism, facism, and American ignorance is, then so be it.
 
Have you watched any of Fox's non-opinion content?

I happen to think all the cable networks are trash, Fox included for the most part, but I bet half the little commies on this board have never watched an episode of Fox's straight news segments, especially nothing with Chris Wallace.

Well, there you go. And with it your integrity. Calling half the members here “little commies.”

The NYTimes investigated and broke the Hillary email story on the front page. They also ignored the actual liberal, Bernie, until they had no choice.

They cost the Democrats the election. Call them liberal if it fits your worldview but they did more to harm Liberal Progressives than Fox and Breitbart combined.

I can’t believe the pages of partisan bickering that in the end doesnt mean anything.

The point is, should a corporation like Apple be in the business of political content delivery? I say no.

Don’t worry, Hillary will turn up to the convention to rescue us again from this bunch of freaks.

You’re welcome to continue to impugn my integrity. I am certain there are literal communists on this board. Many, in fact.

Don't forget Infowars. The pinnacle of well-sourced journalism can be found there.
Infowars is entertainment. It’s professional wrestling meets the news.

I’m of a much younger generation and everyone I know treats MSM as a joke, we get most of our news from a mix of websites, headlines and YouTube.
Journalism has been dead for a long time.

Promotes “fascism and racism.”
if you really think Donald Trump promotes
“Fascism,” you either don’t understand that word or your an unserious person.

I hope they actually reporting news and facts, not like the last election telling people 96% chance Hillary Clinton going to be next US president.

I hope they learned their lessons.
 
But they still do. They cover everything with flags and eagles and colonial imagery.
Oh, I know. We've got a flag-hugger-in-chief now, because he found it gets him applause (never mind that it's actually disrespectful to the flag). I was getting at how they used to trumpet a "holier than thou" narrative, yet they gleefully lined up behind an amoral blowhard who is on his third marriage, has had numerous affairs, has boasted about committing sexual assault, has cheated most of his business partners, has bankrupted his companies numerous times - heck, the courts shut down his "charity", confiscated its funds, fined him an additional $2 million, and put strong restrictions on any future involvement he may try to have with charities.

And Moscow Mitch has spent a lot of time and effort blocking any attempts to make elections safer from foreign interference (one of his arguments being "it would only help democrats", which is just an admission that the Republicans can't win a fair election). If you could run the recent talking points of the current Republican party past the leaders of the Republican party 40 years ago (after carefully removing any mention of what party is being discussed), the old Republican party would be completely outraged at such treasonous behavior (inviting foreign interference, blocking investigation of related criminal activity, etc.).

Yes, of course, but I don't see the same type of propaganda through the sources you mention. Angles and spin, yes, but nothing like the nonsense/lies spewed on Fox through Hannity, Pirro, and Carlson. Those guys are on a different level. Agree though, ultimately you need to be able to cut through the BS, but there are so many people that just inject Fox News into their brain.
I avoid Fox News like the plague but all those sources I mentioned are full of extreme bias and/or propaganda (MSNBC is the mildest of them). This chart isn’t perfect but it’s fairly accurate (everyone will quibble over some sources): https://www.adfontesmedia.com/
 
Nice try trying to change the topic. Going to bring up Clinton again too?

The fact remains that the voters, not someone else, choosing the candidate is a good thing.

Could be, but the problem is that so many vote for the person promising the most free stuff. Without free stuff there are very few Democrats that would be elected today.

I don’t disagree, there is always bias, but Fox is on a different level with their propaganda. I’ll take a look at the site, thanks.
 
Apple just saying how they lean politically! No surprise here! Look at where they reside and their donations.
ABC, CBS, PBS and NBC are left wing Progressive liberal news organization! Enough said!
 
the 98%-far-left US media monopoly at works

I'll take far left thinking over far right any day. At least the left uses and believes in science and strives for better equality. Far right agenda only helps the rich stay and get richer, hates on the poor the sick and the different.

Even far right economics don't help anymore. Companies don't use tax savings for creating jobs or increasing wages nearly to the extent they should. They use it to drive up stock prices and dividends. That again mostly helps the rich as the middle and lower class can barely afford to invest. Less well paid people with disposable income will hurt these companies eventually as all the wealth in the world continues to be harvested by the few and they can't spend enough of it to keep economy going.

Not saying Left thinking is perfect economically but the right is very flawed.

The left "believe in science."

Lol. Like conservatives don't believe in gravity or something.

Take a look at major Democratic donors next time and see who supports the party. Hint---the ultra wealthy, getting richer.

Your post is like something out of the 80's. Lol. Get with the times.

Well they don’t believe in global warming apparently. You ever heard of the Paris Climate Agreement? You know the one that only a Trump and the US are set pull out of?

You even read my post? I specifically said the left’s financial policies aren’t great either. Politics are dirty in general. Left policies are at least less dirty. Maybe not by much but a little less is better than a little more.
 
Now, that's the definition of a oxymoron 😂

Yes and no - in some ares, eg economics, no. But on others? Absolutely he was right. For example they call illegal immigrants "undocumented" - that's straight from the far-left playbook of how to try to confuse people, try to pretend law breaking is ok from certain groups etc. In that regard most of the US media has indeed adopted the language of the far left.

It's far more complex than you realise though.

There is no - absolutely none - scientific basis for closing down western factories to open more in China and India. No serious scientist would actually approve of that if put specifically.

They may well say there is a high chance that human activity has caused increased earth temperature - that much is scientific. But then the left takes that and applies all sorts of political stuff and then says "oh this is scientific too" as they demand clean western factories are closed and dirty ones opened in Asia.

Trump may well be ignorant but his gut instinct on this stuff is right and as it happens closely aligned to scientific reality.

I guess you have no clue what “far left” is. Here (Germany) even the democrats would be considered as conservative or slightly right.

Not really. Only on economics as regards taxes for the rich. But on other issues - no.

The democrats are far left on things like the rule of law and immigration. They are also feminist and anti-white.
