I have a bigger beef with morons who shout ‘mainstream media!’ than I do with morons who think elections are stolen.

Mainstream media is a real thing and it's predominately controlled by #blueanon thought leaders.  That isn't really all that hard to understand.

I mean, the NYT's fired it's editor for publishing a guest editorial from Tom Cotton . . .   :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dax, do you think all the ‘mainstream media’ get together and come up with a plan for fake news?

Like, I understand that there are several companies that own a lot of local news stations, but for the most part they work independently.

There isn’t a big conspiracy. I realize I typed this all for nothing and you’ll come back with a response using hilarious names, but just trying to help.

Unfortunately conspiracy right wing news is now mainstream so I have to agree with the public on this one.

Do you know how liberal journalism schools are and their professors? Holy crap, it's bad, man. But it's whatever. You have to be pretty earthy to live on 20-30K a year.

And I believe ok cat worked at a TV station, so maybe he went to JMC at K-State, but that only furthers my point, of a journalism lib hating that term and not believing in it. It's a thing.

Earthy, granted. But what about organic? You need to be pretty well-heeled to shop at Whole Paycheck.

You definitely wouldn't want to be sick or injured if shopping there.

This is some #slowdug level posting right here. 

This has nothing to do with fake news. 

I'm talking about the predominance of mainstream media and the individuals within having a left lean, and most of them are registered Democrats. 

Again, don't be a #slowdug level DeflectoCon and stop with the strawman "fake news" bullshit.  You're better than that.

Ordinarily, Luttig told me, he wouldn’t get involved in a case like this. But Moore v. Harper, he explained, is the natural outgrowth of the extraordinary behind-the-scenes role he played in the final Götterdämmerung days of the Trump Presidency.

I would, but I don't follow anyone like that. I just start with whatever liberal mainstream reporter comes to mind and go down rabbit holes from there.

I like Philip Bump, whose WaPo article on partisan views of threats to democracy you posted above. I thought it was good! Did you read it?

Those ratios are closer to current day than when you attended, but I get not wanting to accept the truth. Sam Briwnbacks own daughter who went complete lib during my time at the university, which granted, I totally understand, got a pass for the headline “Synder retires!” at the collegian as the director editor of the newspaper. That’s not a wacky typo btw, everyone told us to shut up in class for her. #JMC

Bro! It's the biggest story of our collegiate journalistic lives and our professors are telling us to cut her some slack for not catching the lead misspelling.  :lol: Stop! It was hilarious!
