What about that One America News channel? No bias, just news? I turned it on and it felt like news of the past… was interesting. Haven’t watched it enough yet to get a read on if it actual is biased and simply pretending its not…
You don’t put up any current events.
You put up EXACTLY what the media wants you to talk about. You’re a puppet whether you believe it or not.
Hmmmm.
If reading multiple sources and actively seeking out multiple perspectives makes me a puppet, you can call me Kermit.
President Trump attacking Jeff Sessions seems beyond stupid to me. Sure it’s his way of trying to get him to resign but after attacking the conservatives for failure of Obamacare repeal months ago, is he trying to drive away the people that voted for him? I don’t care for some Russia conspiracy , and the way he tweets etc, but when you reward loyalty like that, why in the world would anyone want to put themselves on the line for you?
i agree. i dont like the sessions-bashing.
He’s at it again today.
He makes a habit of doing this in a public way instead of speaking with people directly and professionally. Superb leadership. :tup:
Another week goes by and WHAMMY still President #resist
Let the man work. Nothing happens in a vacuum guys… remember this is 4D chess.
Talk of Sessions on the way out has the media looking for the scoop on who’s next in line. Which means the leakers are leaking names to the media like they did last week with Giuliani. Scaramucci is already firing suspected leakers, see Assistant Press Secretary Michael Short. And the media has gone from shitting on Sessions, to loving Sessions and oh look now Sessions is going to announce an investigation into leakers so wait… now they hate him again? Trump has distanced himself from Sessions in advance of a leak investigation, while boosting Sessions’s image in the media.
It’s all positioning.
Another example is the transgender tweet today, it’s amazing. The left is so outraged by it that it’s all they’re going to talk about. Democrats know they can’t win majorities focusing on issues like transgenders and they just came out with a big new messaging push to get back on jobs and the economy. Schumer is out there doing press talking about the shift, etc. Then here comes a Trump tweet and BOOM all the efforts to refocus the Democrats away from social issues are for nothing. Now the Democrats will have to appease the vocal minorities in their party over this trans stuff for the 2018 election.
It’s really amazing stuff to watch.

Start with this and if you have critical thinking skills, it really shouldn’t matter which source of news you watch.
CNN is awful. Even ESPN is trying to be political now and failing miserably. I read everything from Breitbart on the super right to WaPo on the super left and fill in other articles from Reddit and the comments. The issue is if you lean one way or another, every article you see popup on Facebook which is where most people get their info sadly is going to trend more towards your own views and further support your viewpoint. It sucks how hard it is to find out accurate information so you need to read multiple articles and try to come to your own conclusion since no news agency anymore will just post facts and let you make your own decision.
Have you considered the possibility that he’s actually a belligerent 71 year old fuckwad?
But seruiously, I certainly believe that most of the shit he says is a distraction of sorts. I thought that was pretty well known?
Why is the MSM not covering the debbie schultz/IT guy story?
Pretty much nobody likes Schultz, but it’s not a headline because some maniac is president currently and being a total asshole (see the LGBT campaign quote vs recent tweet) and this is a better headline and more important currently.
It boggles my mind that people equate not letting trans serve the military with being anti lgbt. The policy only even applies to one of the 4 letters.
I know people in the military and every one of them said it’s a growing issue that needed to be addressed.
The military discriminates against MANY people, why do people think the military is an EEO? I’ve never served, but have many friends who did, and everyone of them agrees with this decision.

Trump hates people with eczema!
@snowracer101 Ah of course, being transgendered is as limiting as a pneumonectomy. Makes sense. /s
I work directly with all branches of the military (actually spent this week at a Marine base) and have not had anyone agree with this. So what’s your point?
I’m perfectly fine with Trump having an opinion and policy that’s anti-LGBT. However, saying you’ll do better than Hillary for them then doing this is total scumbag move.
It’s also a total Russian playbook strategy to equate gayness to a sickness. They often bring up pedophilia whenever talking about gay people to try and associate the two together in peoples minds. Am I going to see that next here?
Gay and transgender aren’t the same thing. Hes not the one grouping them together, everyone else is. Being transgender is LITERALLY a psychiatric condition and has a DSM-5 criteria from the American Psychiatric Association.
Source? From what I can see, DSM-5 speaks to Gender Dysphoria which is “the distress a person experiences as a result of the sex and gender they were assigned at birth. In these cases, the assigned sex and gender do not match the person’s gender identity, and the person is transgender.”
So you can be transgender without having Gender Dysphoria. Meaning they are a normal functioning human who does not identify as the same sex they were at birth.
never said they were the same thing as Trump never said he would only help gay people and not transgender.
