If you go back to forum archives a couple of years, you could find quotes by me saying, "The truth has a liberal bias."
It does, currently, after all. That's likely more an artifact of "Conservatives" increasingly rejecting reality in favor of brazen lies, though.
In the last couple of years, though, it has become painful to watch CNN in particular. I think they have a guilty conscience because they know that they are responsible for Trump's election. The Republicans have been complaining about a liberal bias for decades, and until recently, I laughed at the Republicans for saying it. Now, I don't laugh. CNN is no better than Fox these days.
CNN, to me, looks like it really hasn't changed much? To me, it still looks like the slightly right-wing pro-corporate pro-establishment news outlet running on stockholder theory that it was before Trump? Bear in mind that slightly right-wing outfits do tend to not be especially friendly to right-wing extremists, just like they're largely unfriendly to people that objectively would be on the moderate left. There's a lot of criticism towards Trump, yes... because Trump-related outrage is great for ratings. That Trump's been calling them an enemy of the people, of course, doesn't make the rank and file happy with him, but the bosses have been fairly clear about how they're most interested in increased revenues. There's more that could be said, but that's enough to start.
Once again, though, please don't assume that CNN is putting any effort into accurately representing the underlying views of Democrats in full, on Russia or otherwise. CNN was and is generally much better when it comes to fact-checking and accuracy than Fox, but they've been a deeply flawed outfit for a long time. It's not without reason that CNN is one of the least trusted news outfits, even if it's greatly outclassed on that front by Fox and the new generation of Republican propaganda outlets.
People really don't understand Trump's appeal to voters.
It varies, after all.
I still didn't believe he would win, right up until they called Wisconsin.
Do
you get it? I, for example, was concerned all along about him, albeit after he won the primaries. That I saw that Trump had a very real shot at winning was one of the main reasons that I ended up voting for Hillary, despite the issues that I foresaw with her.
I'm getting the same sinking feeling now, watching the coverage of the Mueller report, and of Democratic politicians calling for impeachment. They just don't get it. To many of the people here, you just don't get it.
Go ahead and explain further? It's likely, though, that this comes down to the fact that different groups of people tend to hold different values.
I will admit that I don’t get it at all. You’re saying that Clinton lost because she alienated voters? Trump insulted women, vets, minorities, and even his own base. It’s clearly a double standard, so it isn’t that.
Clinton DID alienate voters, though? That Trump's base and voters tends to hold notably different sets of values than voters who tend to vote Democrat doesn't negate that at all.
