Disrespecting Donald Trump vs disrespecting the office of the Presidency (1 Viewer)

[Maurile Tremblay]

So apparently Don Jr was at UCLA yesterday, promoting his book, and he got booed off the stage. Per CNN, many of the protesters were far right wingers. That surprises me. But I’m sure plenty of left wing students joined in the booing because that’s what many of them do these days. 

No. It was a new faction of alt-right people. You’ll want to read the story behind it:

Here's a better article on the subject.

Trump curse?

Trump curse?

As Rick Wilson likes to say...

On the bolded I would refer you to the media bias chart posted by Joe and take this claim for what it’s worth. 

Update?

Update?

You’ll have to find your own updates, sorry.

Update?

Media bias chart is important if a left leaning poster posts a link.   But Trump supportive links by redstate and pj media and sometimes even Russian State media are applauded.

The article posted by Maurile was a pretty fascinating read if you have the time.

Exactly.  It’s been updated, but hey, it’s tough for folks to admit when they’re wrong.  I’m guilty of that too.

Applauded? Oh ok.   The last link I saw from pj media contained facts from Newsweek. You always say you want facts and when you don’t like them you attack the source. And how often has Russian State media been posted here?

I love facts.  Not a big fan of fake news masquerading as facts.   “Facts” provided by Russian bots aren’t something I’d call reliable.

Applauded? Oh ok. 

Have you read the Atlantic article posted by Maurile? Do you have any thoughts about the apparent conflict between Turning Point and conservative trolls seeking to disrupt conservative campus events? I think it’s a pretty disturbing development.

Are you the guy that posted in the past that you think Russian bots are posting here?

It was very interesting.

Uh, no, definitely not.

 Have a good Sunday and go Pack.

Am I missing something?

The following scores reflect CNN’s overall bias and reliability scores according to our Ad Fontes Media ratings methodology.

Reliability: 42.22

Bias: -5.69

Reliability scores for articles and shows are on a scale of 0-64. Scores above 24 are generally acceptable; scores above 32 are generally good.

Bias scores for articles and shows are on a scale of -42 to + 42, with higher negative scores being more left, higher positive scores being more right, and scores closer to zero being the most neutral and/or balanced.

Yep. In the eyes of some, regardless of "numbers" and "scores" and other "sciencey stuff", CNN=BAD

Thanks BB, hanging w fam then football. I disagree with anyone that claims CNN isn’t biased, I don’t think a link to another Left biased publication pushed by those in her that consistently push one side is going to change my position but appreciate you quoting in a respectful manner. Have a good one bud!

From the link above, it is biased left.  The question to ask “how biased left is it, and how does that compare to the right-leaning bias of sources that folks don’t seem to be concerned with?”

As noted above:

So yeah, CNN is biased.  Not massively, but enough that it matters.

It is important to separate reliability and bias too.  If CNN says a group of protesters were from an alt-right group, that’s about reliability, not bias.  They don’t necessarily go hand in hand.  I think people get confused by this too often.

On a different note, I’m surprised CNN’s bias score is so close to zero.  When I watch, it seems more left slanted than that.  But maybe Trump doing and saying terrible things so often skews this in my mind.

Very good point.

I think of Maurile being a relatively moderate to conservative poster over the years, and I don’t think the article was written or shared to change your position on anything in particular. Hope you enjoy your day of family, football and fun!
