The fact that this post has an equal amount of upvotes to downvotes proves how different this board has become lately


It really has become the poli-lite board


It's a reflection of the days in which we live. I've lived in this planet approaching 50 years and I dare say we are more politically saturated than at anytime since the 60s. Literally everything is political now.

Dude. They covered it 90% of the time. I could not even watch the Trump Twitter special that was slated for 8 o'clock because of the coverage. This YouTuber simply cherry picked some snippets of when they broke away from the hurricane coverage to update the news.
Conservative snowflakes get triggered pretty easily

So we had to rely on Fox News and the weather channel for information


Why do you need so many channels covering it. Is the weather channel not enough?

It's a result of decades of political indoctrination starting in elementary and going through college. It's reached a point that many of our colleges and universities have ceased to function as institutes of higher learning and instead are little more than glorified political indoctrination camps.

Sadly our country began to rot from within thanks to the cancer of progressiveism/socialism/communism long before any of us were born. The slow porcess has been going on and growing all the way back to the turn of the 20th century. Now that cancer has reached critical mass. In short, the constitutional republic we love is all but already dead.

I agree for the most part but when did this change? I went to LSU in the mid to late 90s and don't really remember it being left wing at all. This is one of the reasons my kids go to private school (reason #1 is dindus)

CNN said Trump created Harvey as a false flag for the pardon.


This is not too much of an exaggeration. They inferred that Trump was causing CNN to devote little or no coverage to Harvey.

For some schools it's been going on for the better part of 80- 100 years. Others it's less pervasive.

CNN = The Paul Finebaum Show

I don't watch/listen to either. I know they respectively affect millions of Americans but I don't let them get close to me. I hear rumors of things that are incredulous. But I don't let their stink taint me.

Inaccurate statements get plenty of upvotes on this board. This board essentially mirrors Trump's personality.

Leaving the video rolling of the storm while they talked about Trump isn't covering it. I flipped over 5 or 6 times because it had become such a joke and everytime they were talking about Trump. CNN is just another racist organization trying to make a name for itself by exploiting the poor and uneducated.

I received regular updates about Harvey all throughout the night from CNN by phone and television.

Why do people on droppings insist that CNN doesn't cover topics when it's easy to confirm that they did?
