    The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

    Dems and reps are essentially in two different realities now - what one side consumes to other is fake news. Everything around them is explained and interpreted diametrally different and division increases every day. A lot of blood will be spilled to recover american society from this sorry state.

      In a shocking coincidence, it just so happens that 100% of the fake news is stuff they don’t like and all of the real news just happens to be everything they agree with. Truly an incredibly coincidence.

    Ironically, with 71% viewer share, Fox News commands the “main stream” podium. This information is lost on those 71%

    Tbf, the media they consume is full of fake news. When challenged, they even say themselves that they are just “entertainment”!

    Republicans should be excluded from any serious conversation on policy. They are not serious and should be taken seriously

    Does this include the leftists that know mainstream media is biased though? Because I don’t trust the media to report accurately, however I try to combat that by looking at multiple news sources with varying biases rather than fuckin youtube

    It’s become that now, because of trump, and the news’ failure as journalists. They’re basically complicit, and won’t report plainly.

    oders hospital to be stuffed with puppies and blown up

    “In a spectacular, controversial move indicative of the president’s unusual presentation style…”

    Pussies. They think their job is to have a certain news-like tone, instead of understanding reality which is that their job is to tell the god damn news.

    This is the roughly 30% of America that is immovable in every Trump poll ever. They are dug in and have deliberately decided to never think critically again.

    Most of the MSM is in the bag for corporations, hence on the side of the cons, so I never understood why the far right thinks they are liberal.

    But they tend to be delusional about a whole lot of things.
