Media bias

Ummm, Russia has an economy the size of Italy. The second most powerful person in the world is Xi Jinping. Not even close.

Ya know, the US used to stand for free and open elections and the rule of law. Did all that get tossed aside when DJT go elected? I guess so.

I was speaking military power not economic power. Russia has more nukes than any country in the world besides the US.

US has no business meddling in or judging other countries' elections! I am sick of the US arrogance as we looks down our self righteous snoots at other countries. Putin is a very popular president in Russia and we have no proof the election was rigged. Irrespective of the election, it accomplishes nothing by trashing Russian's election process. It's not our 'problem'. Putin is the leader and it behooves the US to have a good relationship with him...and ALL world leaders....even that little spit of man in NK.

Adolf Hitler was very popular in pre-war Germany.

Ahh, yeah we do. Roll the video tape:

Come on Lefty, I'm just trying to make the point that dictators are always viewed as popular until they are not.

True. So is the NK leader and so was Obama. But Trump is hated. Hmmmm.....

"always viewed as popular until they are not." Think about it.

Duh - Did you have an issue with Obama calling Putin to congratulate him after his 2012 win? Did we not stand for free and open elections in 2012? Just wondering....

LOL

Thanks Obama!!

Did Obama get peed on too?

I don't know....right now I'm just disappointed that the Austin bomber turned out to be some douche bag and not a really smart guy like Kaczynski who would lead us on a 5 year whodunnit. 

This new generation of bombers just ain't worth a chit.

When the bad guys are dumbasses it takes all the fun out of being a cop.

When that is your response, I guess that means there is nothing you can say other than, "Yes, hessma, you are right. I have no comeback."

Wow, even Larry King is calling the media out......

It's true, and this is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

So this was 'reported' on Yahoo 'News':

"President Donald Trump’s “addiction to Fox News” has been slammed by a CNN host, who suggested POTUS’ love of the channel is prompting him to take “impulsive actions.”"

I have no problem with op-eds and commentaries but the distinction between news and commentary is been so blurred by both sides. This is 100% opinion but it being perpetuated as news!

I occasionally flip to CNN to see if they are reporting on any news. Nope, just anther "panel" of experts.....people I've never heard of who often times look to be in their late 20s giving their 'analysis' and opinions. I've gotten where I cannot stand panels on the news anymore. It'd be one thing if the had people on both sides of the isle. But also they need to have people that have some credibility. Just because you have a poly-sci degree does not make you an expert on international trade policy or immigration or gun violence.

Oh well, I watch a little bit then end up watching Saving Private Ryan or Groundhog Day or Dual Survival or Antiques Roadshow on my DVR.

The best way to watch the news is the way I get to the bottom of any "who broke it" story with my kids. Listen to each version and end up somewhere in the middle, allowing my knowledge of each one's bias tendency to fine tune where exactly it lands.

I root for Capt. Tyler. He's a d-bag, but not as doushay as the guys on the Dot com.
