Do not forget that trump’s base is about 15% of this country. About 1/6 commenters is going to be pretty far out toward the right. ‘Course, the reverse is true as well, they just don’t get triggered quite as easily due to MR leaning liberal on the whole. (I’ve been watching these forums for some years now and it is a thing)
I think Trump's base is closer to 30-40% in all honesty. I'm not here to editorialize on that – I'm sure that sounds wonderful to some people and absolutely terrifying to others (I have my own strong feelings but try to contain myself).

They were great, never missed not one single show from them. But this new(now old) dude in Daily show is terrible. So obviously bias it hurts. Hoping for this show to be critical to all sides, but under Apple and Tim Cook i doubt it.
Like the conservatives won't still be doing stupid things after that. Plus Biden isn't some golden child who will never do anything stupid. They will always be good material in the US political system, one could say there are good stories on both sides.
Wait - you actually think Jon would have signed on with Apple if they wouldn't let Jon be Jon?
It wouldn’t be a cliched criticism if the cons weren’t such a walking cliche.
Sadly, “conservative” media outlets here have been working doggedly for decades to make “liberal” a bad word. They’ve got their followers convinced it’s the same as socialism (it isn’t) and that socialism is horrible (it isn’t). My Australian friends tell me that the US “right” is pretty crazy far right, and the US “left” is somewhere between centrist and slightly right, compared to the rest of the world. And a lot of our “conservative” media (like Fox) are... pretty close to State TV in an authoritarian regime, with how incredibly slanted and misleading (and often outright untrue) it is.
The conservatives have been stealing from the poor and giving to the rich since well before 1986, mate!
These kinds of comments are frustrating because like so much of social media in 2020 it’s not grounded in any kind of reality. It just sounds like an echo of other rumors & speculation about the service—and not even recent ones. This feels like a comment someone would have made a year ago, before Apple TV+ launched. But speculation like this has been made moot by the content they’re actually streaming. ATV+ shows have blood, guts, violence, adult situations, and plenty of bleep worthy dialogue.
FOX “News” / Breitbart / OANN / Q-anon. You know, the people who are the only “real, unbiased news sources.” /S
You’d think it’d be obvious with Jason Mamoa being given a show on the platform.
I, as an American, actually learned this the hard way 10 years ago after hearing about the formation of the Cameron/Clegg coalition government. I still remember being confused how “liberals” could share a government with “conservatives” because I was indoctrinated into the American meaning of the word. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time over the last 10 years learning what “liberal” actually means and why, in many ways, a parliamentary system might be a bit better.
