Any time a right wing person says something controversial, the media picks it up and runs with it and 9/10 they lose their job etc.

But the crazy left wing professor who was offended by the military guy being offered a first class seat has nothing happen to him. His university Drexel puts out a statement saying his statement doesn't reflect our views and he was outside of the classroom blah blah blah.

So no disciplinary action, which I am ok with. As long as the same would happen on the other side of the aisle. Never does.

It is aggravating for sure. That's all they have at this point at least. They have the MSM and a double standard, we have the White House, congress, senate, and soon the Supreme Court.

I think that shows most people see through it and feel the same way, we just don't hear about it because of said ownership of MSM.

Progressivism and intellectual honesty cannot coexist. It's just a fact.

Can you give an example of a time a right wing person said something that caused them to lose their job and what they said was really no big deal?

That's because cucks and weak conservatives eat their own instead of circling the wagons like progressives do.

a few more double-standard examples...

McCain says that NKoreas leader is a fat kid and it ignites him rolling a nuke threat-OKAY

If Trump were to say that NKoreas leader is a fat kid and it ignites him rolling a nuke threat-He would be removed from office.

Nunes goes to view classified docs proving that Obama committed political espionage within the intel community: HE IS IN BED WITH TRUMP!

Schiff goes to view classified docs proving that Obama committed political espionage within the intel community: ALL is fine- he met POTUS in the west wing- HOOO RAH he is our man, we love him.

Well, I think this professor is pretty ridiculous and probably should be on his way out

Generally speaking though the consistent thread in a lot of these firings are saying hateful things about protected classes and not just embarrassing things

Proof Bill O'Reilly is a patsy. Had he fought Case #1, there likely wouldn't have been Cases 2-5.

RIGHT. THERE. WITH. YOU.

Watching the other news channels is astonishing and infuriating. Last night they had a panel of 12 talking heads on MSNBC discussing their opinion that Nunes has a mental disorder! The left is literally losing their mind. They called him a clown with a mental disorder.

I wouldn't care so much if I weren't afraid of what they may do next illegally. They have no moral compass and when they commit crimes they are not held accountable at ALL. That's scary. Comey lying is scary. Hillary and Obama getting away with all this is scary.

CNN had a chart up like a family tree of the Trump admin all tied to Russia. Anderson basically said Russia has taken over the USA.

Then later in the evening when they could have been breaking news on Evelyn with Mika's interview or the Fox bombshell about Obama's political espionage. They actually had a show dedicated to INSIDE ISIS.

No joke. They had ISIS members on interviewing them, justifying their hate and inside their dindu nuffin poor poor lives. They were discriminated, hot in GW and need jobs, poor little baws.

It has gone way too far, they are anti American and fake news.

Politicians whip the fringe elements into a frenzy and the media provides them with a target.

It's the mob mentality. The internet provides the ultimate "connection" for someone to be part of these groups.

It happens to conservatives and progressives. The media makes tons of money from these horrible stories.
