what standard would that be, the truth?

Yeah.

I mean there are Alex Jones fans on this board

Alex Jones is not mainstream in any way. I wouldn’t even know how or when to listen without looking it up. But are you now putting Alex Jones and CNN/AP/NBC/CBS/ABC on the same level? Interesting...

ETA: and I’d argue the Alex Jones’ of the world only prosper because of the poor job the actual media did/does at covering all viewpoints

ust out of curiosity:

#1 How much time do you spend thinking about your media boogeyman and what would you do with yourself without them to a) fear and b) hold up as evidence of whatever narrative you want to push on any given day?

#2 In your opinion, what percentage of being a conservative in America in 2018 really boils down to martyring for these media narratives as opposed to the actual issues our country faces

Step away from the keyboard. This is a seriously sad attempt at deflection.

When ads start running of dems defending MS13, the Hispanic community will turn Republican even more

And Alex blows.

Yet, good luck finding a situation where there was a CLEARLY COORDINATED across all outlets decision to straight up lie about a quote to make someone sound like he said something flagrantly racist.

As I said. I get it. The fact that they do this works for your cause so, you don't give a frick. You claim to be reasonable but really, you're just the guy who stands by and cheers BAMN.

So, to clarify, there are no bad actors on the right?

The entire leftist media establishment just conspired to repeat a lie that they KNEW was a lie in order to portray a man as racist.

And they did it before by changing "their rapists" to "they're rapists".

Spare me your wahtaboutism unless you can provide a similar example which you cannot.

maybe. it was fairly sketchy.

Trump spoke somewhat unspecifically, conflating the immigration issues with his strong opinions on MS13. Media was totally in the wrong and they really should be giving context to their soundbytes. I suppose Trump could choose his words more carefully.

never said don’t talk about it, but when literally everything y’all talk about comes back to the media the impression i get is that battling the media is all y’all are about. Believe it or not there are other things going on in the world.

What makes it even more ridiculous is that y’all also don’t hold conservative or alternative media outlets to the same standard you do the liberal ones.

---

Well, here's an idea, don't get involved in the threads you are tired of talking about? Jesus Christ, see how simple that can be?

As for the media, maybe people would stop pointing out their obvious bias every day if they would stop showing their obvious bias every day.

Also, you're a dumb arse.

Right wing media lied about and misrepresented Obama all the time. Y’all ate that shite up but now suddenly care about the truth? Give me a break.

No, it doesn’t actually because it gives y’all ammunition.
