I've been unfriended/blocked by someone because he was a communist and I kept poking fun at him for being communist and poking holes in his communist postings.

No, I just quit going on Facebook. I got on it to catch up with old acquaintances, but now you cannot even see what is going on in their lives because of all of the cat videos.

Well we are discussing the recent radicalization of the left, so seems an ample time horizon.

My sister in-law blocked me the day after the election.

it's like those college football arguments where someone says "since such and such a year" in order to frame their flawed argument

You do realize that a moderately engaged person, off the top of their head, can recite a list of the liberal media machine that makes yours look like a footnote, right?

Maybe you didn't read the part when I said it was a problem on both sides?
Some of y'all get so defensive over this stuff. I don't ask for anything other than fairmindedness yet y'all still want to push this "they do it but we don't" nonsense. You can stay conservative man just be evenhanded and rational.

That's like saying being grabbed in the pussy is as bad as being gang raped.
I mean, both are bad.........but............

A. Not all of those are media organizations. In fact quite a few of them aren't.
B. Of the ones that are, what influence and reach do they have compared to organizations like CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS, NBC etc.?
The only ones on your list that even come close are Fox, WSJ (which is not exactly a right wing rag anymore), and maybe Breitbart.

They are all public figures with a fair bit of reach to those sympathetic to buy what they are selling. I mean yeah Ann Coulter is not a media outlet but how many books has she sold? It's all part of the same web.

No idea, but I do know the contention that conservatives are somehow having a problem getting their message out in 2018 is absurd. As is the idea that the conservative media isn't just as partisan. Oh but it's only a problem when the liberal media does it. You people are a joke.

I say the left has radicalized recently,
You say both sides have
I say conservatives have moderated recently
You laugh
I show data to support my claims
You say 20 years of data is too recent to show recent trends.
You are the problem in the op chief. Sorry.
Posted on 2/22/18 at 12:22 pm to Turbeauxdog
the only data you provided is a poll on how people think of themselves.
All the data shows is that over a (relatively) short period of time, liberals are more self aware of where their views fall on the spectrum than conservatives are.

I don't FB. It's juvenile and silly.
I really don't care who is involved in what relationship, what their virtual farm is doing, what their Friday night date movie is, their favorite band nor whether or not they bought that used t-shirt at the FB yard sale.
This ego massaging self-affirmation world that people are drawn to is laughably sick.
It seems like these social media people would love to live in a Black Mirror "Nosedive" society.

I dislike ultra conservative and ultra liberal political posts almost equally, and hate the pyramid schemers even more, so I just don’t get on Facebook.
I would delete it if it weren’t for the bitching I’d have to deal with from my wife and mom because they like to tag me in pictures.
