Why the Poli Board is My Main News Source

You are in the right place, Patriot! MAGA

The PT is a good place to get most of the major headlines, but it is way too slanted in one direction to be your main source.

This really isn't all that true.
Russian bombshell threads get around 40% upvoted.

For example, TigerinDC09's bombshell ABC thread from friday (the one they had to retract), got 41 UPVOTES and 62 dowvotes. That isn't a huge gap.

You guys forget that Louisiana has a lot of black democrats and the dem usually gets around 38-40% of the vote in the state.

Also, all other boards lean liberal on here.

The MSB is VERY liberal and very SJW.

He's right you know. Here's a list of the places to go with no slant:

The Washington Post
CNN
MSNBC
NY Times
if you're in Houston you can read the Chronicle.

I'm sure I'm missing some, but this are some of the most respectful and honest reporting you'll find.

Right, because we weren't dead on about the ABC train wreck

Yes. It’s very true. I don’t care about upvote/downvotes. I care about topics and the overall ideology of the board and those are most certainly slanted heavily in one direction.

And that’s fine.

But this place shouldn’t be your main source for information. It can be a source. And sometimes it can be a very good source. But main source all the time? No. That isn’t healthy.

The OP is in regard to the PT.

And you seem way too concerned with downvotes.

You don’t have to post to downvote.

Posting and the views within those posts are a much better measure.

It's more libertarian than anything, imo. OPs in favor of drug laws, gay marriage bans, etc get downvoted heavily.

Wooooooooo! Who doesn’t want to smoke weed and go to your gay friends wedding while carrying that 9mm.
