Wow Fox News just keeps ripping Biden and Dems every way possible and not fair .

CNN which some on this site discount as fake news has been both hard on Biden Administration and positive where applicable. They report the mistakes and the good news.

But Fox wow even the photos they post are of the worst possible expressions.

But trump told you people CNN is fake news so you believe and do whatever trump tells you to do .

I think most of us determined CNN to be a dishonest media source without any help from Trump. They recently confirmed it with their blatant, baldfaced lie about Joe Rogan’s COVID treatment medication.

If you listened to any of Trump’s press conferences, where the CNN representative (calling them journalists would be inaccurate) asked their infantile gotcha questions, which Trump responded to appropriately, you would be embarrassed to cite them as a source. Sure they report some things accurately, but very rarely if not fully in line with their far left views.

You think it’s unfair to show Biden with uncomplimentary photos? Where were you when your media sources were consistently doing that to Trump?

Scook - trumps a lying cheating traitor to our country with his election fraud nonsense.

Therefore he deserves the media coverage of investigations he’s getting.
Except for Fox News which is like a Natzi propaganda system that won’t even cover the truth.

CNN bashing Biden for weeks now — reporting the news.

Your virulent hatred of Trump and extreme confirmation bias toward apparently believing all things liberal and certainly believing all things anti-Trump seem to have you blinded to a reasonable, balanced view of what’s going on.

CNN’s reporting of approval ratings couldn’t ignore Biden’s wildly incompetent Afghan withdrawal, but of course didn’t mention that he is personally responsible for the deaths of many people and loss of massive amounts of our equipment, and huge loss of respect and trust in the world which would have been avoided if he had even a small amount of Trump’s negotiating skill or had simply followed his withdrawal plan. They then explained the low rating away with external factors. They also ignored Trump’s low ratings at roughly the same point in his presidency being heavily influenced by the lies and cheating of the Clinton campaign and complicit lying, cheating FBI along with their own dishonest complicit constant Trump bashing.

I’ve heard a good number of people accuse Fox News of lying, but never once has any of them been able to point out any lie they have told. Their opinion journalism clearly leans to the right, but not nearly enough to balance the left leaning opinion and I believe often dishonest, at least biased, hard news reporting of the mainstream media and particularly dishonest sources like CNN.

You have been presented with honest examples and, I may have missed it, but don’t recall you ever responding directly to any of them.

Insults and demagoguery based on your biased opinions aren’t going to persuade anyone who doesn’t already agree with you. I have some very liberal, very good friends who are honest and secure enough that we can actually discuss things we don’t agree about and learn something from each other. I think a lot of their views are crazy and a result of their confirmation bias and I’m trying to be aware of my own confirmation bias and remove it from my opinions - honest discussion and not ignoring information you don’t like are a lot more productive than demagoguery.

“ virulent hatred of trump”……..wrong - I was pro concept of trump early on until the things he said and did proved he was not fit for the Presidency .

“ believing all things liberal “…..wrong again . What I believe are facts and the truth such as trump lost the election , tried to coerce others to cheat for him, challenged with zero evidence and he encouraged the violent attack at our Capitol - referring to the people who were yelling hang Mike Pence as very special people that he loved.

“ reasonable balanced view of what’s going on” ……yes I do . Trump lost the election and none of his people brought ANYTHING close to reasonable to court as evidence otherwise.

My reasonable and balanced view is that Trump in so many ways proved to be a lying cheating con man traitor to America who wants to eliminate our process of free and fair elections.

Thanks for a direct response. I agree that there’s plenty on a personal level to not like about the man and I often found his self promotion tedious. He has a huge ego, which of course is necessary to take on that job, especially with a dishonest media, Clinton/democrat machine and traitorous, dishonest FBI and cooperating bureaucracy attacking him with blatant, despicable dishonesty from before he was even elected - I don’t think you would deny that.

Not being a politician, he didn’t do a great job hiding his ego. Consider the size of Obama’s ego to have the temerity to even run for the biggest executive job in the world with a resume that wouldn’t qualify him for managing a gas station or 711 store - zero executive experience of any kind that I know of. He was an experienced Chicago politician, which pretty much by definition means dishonest, but he presented a smooth veneer. He presided over the biggest worsening in race relations in my experience, which was perpetuated by flagrant lies in the media under Trump.

I can understand how you would have taken a severe dislike to the man, but I think the opinions you have formed are extreme and inaccurate.

You have been adjusting your comments about election evidence, but I think you are still ignoring some facts that you must have seen, e.g. your relating that the Arizona evaluation found that the “vote count” was shown to be pretty accurate, but ignoring other findings about the integrity of the ballots counted. I think quite a few dead people voted, people who had moved away, etc., not to mention how the mail-in voting in many states violated the existing state laws and was particularly vulnerable to significant fraud. I don’t know if an absolutely honest count of honest ballots would change the results of the election, but I can’t be sure that it wouldn’t. Nothing he ever said or even hinted suggests that he wants to end free and fair elections - what I heard is exactly the opposite.

I’ve listened to the recording and read the things he said regarding trying to unfairly/dishonestly alter the election results and, while it’s obvious he didn’t accept the results, it sounded like him being himself and working hard to sell his position. Not to beat it to death, but suggesting that his saying “fight like hell” meant anything different than what every Democrat says in every email I get and hear in most speeches frankly seems dishonest to me.

You can have your opinion, but nothing I’ve heard or read, i.e. honest quotes, suggests that he supported the violence at the capitol and his reference to special people was in support of people who demonstrated peacefully in large numbers.

To suggest that the violence at the capitol was even remotely a threat to our democracy is, I think ludicrous. It was certainly inappropriate and will be punished, but if you think it had the least possibility of threatening our democracy, you aren’t very familiar with the strength, training and equipment of our federal law enforcement agencies. It’s sad and politically motivated incompetence and dishonesty that the huge amount of left wing rioting, destruction and even murder is going virtually without prosecution while hoards of small,businesses, many owned by people of color are bankrupted - the families bankrupted.

The most preposterous and offensive of your charges, in my opinion, is that of calling him a traitor. Obnoxious as you may find him, he strengthened our position in the world and put our country first in multitudes of ways that benefitted real contributing, working people. He showed respect for people who actually get things done as opposed to the flagrant arrogance of the democrat elite. If the press had honestly reported the positive things he put in place, many of which have been listed in this forum, there wouldn’t have been enough fraud in the world to put Biden over the top.

No, I’m not a fan of him personally, but I voted for him, he did an excellent job and I would very likely vote for him again. I have complete confidence that as much as every president in history would like to have been able to be a dictator in order to get things done, e.g. Trump’s health insurance improvements that were blocked by the Democrats, the checks and balances are in place to make it impossible for that to happen.

No, I don’t think you have an accurate balanced understanding of what has gone on or what’s going on now, but I think you’re capable of it.

There’s been a lot of information reported and in the news about this .

Trump watched it on tv with glee.
Trump refused to send reinforcements to assist the badly outnumbered police .
Only Mike Pence was able to finally get assistance.
Trump delayed and delayed making a statement against the attack that had to be taped repeatedly until he’d say the right things.

Trump - the lying cheating con man who calls himself the law and order President .
The man who had completely non violent protestors hit with tear gas so he could walk to a church for a photo op.
Trump who said he’d send our military into cities to quell violence.

He encouraged, watched , and praised his violent mob overwhelm our police , smash their way into our Capitol, chanting hang Mike Pence our Vice President . Then he said they were very special people that he loved .

All because he LOST the election . ZERO real evidence of election fraud . ZERO found through his forced voting audits. NO EVIDENCE just nonsense conspiracy theories.
You want to over ride our system of free and fair elections based on empty claims and lies ?

Trumps a lying, cheating traitor to our country.
You want to pretend all this didn’t happen — all you’re doing is weakening our chance of remaining a democracy.

If you have honest sources for your statements about Trump watching with glee, encouraging violence, etc., I’ll look at them. Not CNN, who have thoroughly convinced me of their flagrantly dishonest anti-Trump campaign, but real coverage, actually showing the events, not some reporter’s opinion based on an unknown source. I’ll have a serious look at your sources - what I’ve seen doesn’t support those views.

Regarding the election issue, I haven’t seen anything that concerns me about free and fair elections being a risk. Trump pushed very hard to have results analyzed and was thwarted at pretty much every turn - states destroying ballots before they could be looked at critically, a state ordering, I believe a million mail-in Democrat ballots with no envelopes, after it was too late to use them legitimately, etc. As I said, I don’t know if an honest count of honest ballots would change the election result, but the claim that there’s zero evidence of significant fraud seems to me pretty inaccurate. No conspiracy theories involved - lots of issues being uncovered and ignored by anti-Trump folks.

There was certainly a conspiracy by the Clinton campaign, the FBI and additional bureaucracy against Trump that anti-Trump folks are happy to ignore and minimize.

Well, Pipe’s links put the lie to the “ totally peaceful protesters” and violently clearing the square for a photo op. “Mostly peaceful” until the police showed up. Of course, just like my city Portland, it’s OK to be violent if it’s an anti-Trump or generally leftist “protest” and you’re pretty much obligated to get violent if the police arrive. Trump sent federal law enforcement to Portland and deputized our state police and several of our local agencies because our insanely “progressive” politicians are so dishonest and incompetent that they were allowing mobs to pull down statues (even one of an Elk), attack, smash windows and set fires at our central police precinct, federal courthouse and untold number of businesses. Yes, he was a law and order president.

As to the gleeful watching/supporting the violence at the capitol, I guessed it - an unnamed source told the baldfaced lying, virulently anti-Trump CNN. Good grief, if you believe CNN reporting on Trump, your opinions have no credibility.

You can believe what you choose to believe, but CNN and a bunch of their fellow far left outlets have lost credibility with their incessant conspiracy theories about Trump.

The more I see, the more it’s obvious that, notwithstanding his huge ego and tiresome self promotion, the “trying to overturn” an honest election (which wasn’t entirely honest, regardless of whether it was honest enough), inciting and gleefully encouraging the violence at the capitol, the traitor label just aren’t credible. Liars in the media are citing Trump’s “big lie” - the left has become so dishonest and so far off any reasonable policies that I think there is a serious threat to our democracy, but it’s not from Trump. My hope is that they’ve gone so far that the regular folks will wake up and put a stop to it.

I heard news today that Biden’s administration is now proposing compensating illegal aliens who have been separated from their families “for too long” $450,000 - you can’t make this stuff up.

I agree- fact checking is important - just try to avoid checking them with dishonest sources, and avoid leaping to extreme, unwarranted conclusions.

To be fair, in 2016, he was praising a very different voting system. Much of the system that guarded the integrity of the balloting has been gutted, using COVID as an excuse to implement vulnerable mail-in systems. Many of these are illegal under the laws of the states implementing them.

No, it’s not wrong. You’re doing lawyer speak, where you take something that’s true and generalize it to something where it’s not true. The vote by mail in many states has been made radically different than the military system and even our Oregon system that seems to be carefully and probably reasonably honestly administered.

You seem to be missing that I’m not arguing whether Trump won or lost - simply that there is plenty of honest reason to question the integrity of the election process, particularly where vote by mail has been made very vulnerable to fraud.

The Arizona study you cited found fraud and was unable to verify the integrity of the ballots counted. I haven’t studied the vote counts/margins in the important states to see how much fraud would be necessary to tip the election, but since you weren’t borne last night, you know that in ANY undertaking the size of our national election there’s going to be fraud. Neither you or I know how much there was.

Isn't it funny that almost no one in the mainstream media seems to want to question or even mention the 57,000 questionable ballots in Az? Yet the very same group of people that tout the integrity of the mail in ballots are the same group that are trying with every legal procedure they can use to stop or delay any recounts. And< I might add, are the very same group of people that are so dead set against any form of voter ID card and in person voting like they use in Canada. You have to wonder how those pesky Canadians, with all their snow and cold, can manage to get to the polling places when Americans can't.

You keep focusing on the less than one thousand (550) idiots that actually trespassed and broke into the capital building instead of the tens of thousands that were there that didn't and were just protesting peacefully. Why is that?

And your definition of violent and mine seem to differ. Violent is burning, looting, attacking, kicking, stoning, beating and killing people like the rioters during the simmer did. (The people that broke into the capital did none of those things) Violent is shooting an unarmed woman in the face, killing her like that capital police thug did. (The people that broke into the capital did none of those things either).

And saying that you love your supporters is somehow bad? How does that work?

There was a wall, there was a door in that wall that was closed, there was a broken window that she was trying to look through. That's reason to murder her?

As for being violent, do I need to point out to you again the difference in the degree of violence between what happened on Jan 6 and what happened throughout the entire summer? There was no burning at the capital. There was no looting at the capital. There was no beating and stomping and rock throwing at the capital. There was no shooting and killing of cops at the capital. ALL of those things happened during the summer riots, but you seem to think they were insignificant compared to the Capital demonstration where NONE of those things happened.

Ah yes - comparison to trump is based on the methods trump used as I previously outlined:
1. Define an enemy and lie about it
2. Attach the lies to stir nationalistic anger
3. Keep repeating the lies to achieve power
4. Once power achieved start cracking down on freedoms
5 . Achieve total control

That was in fact what trump tried to do - and will likely try again.
This was same model used by Hitler - until he brought on the destruction of his country .
