re: Is tigerdroppings the best place for nonbiased news?

I appreciate this site a lot, because it lets me read actual people's right-leaning perspectives and understand them. Sometimes they are well presented and I agree with them, sometimes I disagree but totally understand where they're coming from and why they feel that way, sometimes they are totally unsupported or flat out based on misinformation and it makes me frustrated. But it's a way more balanced set of right-leaning perspectives than I will ever see selectively picked out and shite on in other places.

To say the site is unbiased is laughable. It's definitely a strong right-ward slant. To say it treats both sides equally is not accurate. Trying to talk about nuance or the space between the extreme left and extreme right is more often than not labelled "liberal" or "leftist talking points" because they exist to the left of the poster's position on the spectrum. Even moderate conservative ideas are labelled liberal, and people like Romney, McCain, and Kasich are called liberals. "Liberal" and "leftist" don't mean left of center here, they mean "left of me" or "I disagree with that".

You also can't act like Trump isn't generally deified and protected here. In general, criticism of him or anything he supports is not accepted. I got a mod message about TDS for saying something critical of Trump, and I don't know if people ever get similar messages for spewing paragraphs about Witch Pelosi, literally wishing death on Schumer or other Democrats, or the many "Obama Man Bad" threads that still pop up four years after his presidency. But good points have been made above - you will be mocked for posting left opinions, but not banned. That's good.

It's true that people tend to only post in support of their side and against their opponents. Politics shouldn't be a sports match but message boards push it in that direction. I have tried to make an effort to post criticisms of Democrats and praise for Trump as much as I can to offset that bias.
