Not sure if you know how politics work, but congrats on google. She was and was revolting hard back then.

Lol, no.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

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.

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.

You post a lot of dumb crap and this is definitely one of them.

The correlation between level of education and political affiliation seems pretty straightforward to me. Start with how MAGAs embrace and celebrate their ignorance and disinterest in things like facts and evidence.

Educated people tend to be democrats while less educated people tend to be republicans. Not that hard, wacky.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily bad, but J-schools have always leaned dem/liberal/prog more than your typical fields of study like mathematics, engineering, tech, business, etc. To be fair, they've been lapped in this regard by the social sciences.

The last two years, minimum wage employees with no college education have been arguing that science is fake, news is fake, elections are fake, despite the evidence showing otherwise. Being dumb is kind of on-brand.

Did anyone deny that the mainstream media leans left? Of course they do. You pretty much have to have a degree to work in that field.

The report also finds that Journalism/
Communication and History are among
the most liberal departments. In fact,
60% of both History and Journalism/
Communication departments report
employing no registered Republicans.

Can we get this thread back on track? Democracy is (maybe) at stake.

Rob Reiner is convinced that our form of government will not last long unless everyone votes blue.

The classic pinnacle of first world problems #blueanon Twitter screeds.

Probably material for some great cellphone chats rants for Rob as he drives from the during the week house in Brentwood, out to the Malibu weekend home.

So much angst, tho
