You understand exactly why I am focusing on President Trump and Fox News.
President Trump is a serial liar (fact), implicitly condones white supremacy (fact), and actively undermines the important norms of our democracy, like elections (fact).
Fox News, for the most part, has been propaganda which is supporting him in that process.
I don't have a bias - rather, I believe in small-d democracy, human rights, and valuing the truth and honest behavior, as much as one can in this world.
Their actions are significantly worse than most other politicans (excepting Trump's political enablers) and news organizations at this time.
- manigandham 6y ago> "You understand exactly why" No, I don't understand. It doesn't make any specific point other than throwing up a strawman. A strategy used by the media (on all sides). > "implicitly condones" This is ignoring the explicit statements and actions to focus on the subjective narrative where anything can be implied. A cheap tactic often used by the media (on all sides). > "I don't have a bias" I'm sure you believe this, yet you're the only one vehemently choosing an irrelevant political side in this discussion about the media (of all sides). > "human rights, and valuing the truth and honest behavior, as much as one can in this world." Great, me too. Just like the vast majority of people in this world. Are you claiming some kind of moral superiority here? What is this relevant to? Your comments clearly reveal your bias and the narrative you seek to spread. You use many of the same tactics of the media (again, on all sides) and lack the same introspection. This is my personal assessment by the way, in case you want to argue that it's an "falsehood". I'll end it here since I see nothing more to discuss.
