"Bias" is biased here. There's no reason that jokes should be 50-50% in favor of however political parties are configured. It's entirely possible (and currently the case) that one side of the political aisle is worse and more deserving of ridicule.
- chasil 1y agoThere is no lack of bad behavior on either side of the aisle, for sure. Is this warranted? I don't know.
- lokar 1y agoComedians making fun of public figures, organizations, parties, movements etc is not bad behavior. It’s an open society.
- chasil 1y agoI don't mean talk show hosts. I'm taken aback by a president who recommends bleach as an antiviral. I'm taken aback by a member of congress who married her brother as part of her visa process. It just gets worse. How are we living like this? My exit strategy is more fluid than I like.
- pseudalopex 1y ago> I'm taken aback by a president who recommends bleach as an antiviral. Trump asked if disinfectant could be injected. He did not recommend injecting or drinking bleach.[1] > I'm taken aback by a member of congress who married her brother as part of her visa process. There is no credible evidence Ilhan Omar married her brother.[2] [1] https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-inject-bleach-covid-19/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-inject-bleach-covid-...

- wilg 1y agoRegarding the bleach, it's true he didn't recommend it, but the full quote of him saying it makes it clear that he is a very stupid person. Also, just today, he promoted bunch of fake science and medicine about Tylenol causing autism, so he's only gotten worse at this since his big bleach idea.
- chasil 1y agoI believe that all people are apertures to the divine, and bear that signature. I believe that each and every one can show us something, not that we must demand it, but in that moment that it reveals itself, we should understand. Perhaps I am very foolish in this way. I prefer to be a fool.
