Yeah, white people know a lot more Chinese than I thought.Yeah, my mother in law says uses this an amazing amount.
Typical CNN. Let's find the guy who gives us the dumbest answer and air it. Contrasting how CNN covers BLM protests vs. Trump rallies is both funny and sad. Mostly sad.Title of this thread makes me think this should go in here:

From Trump's rally in Freeland, MI, last night:
CNN's Jim Acosta: "Why are you not wearing your mask?"
Rallygoer: "Because there's no COVID. It's a fake pandemic. Created to destroy the United States of America."
Ah yes. Its the messenger that is the problem here. Same as Woodward I suppose.Typical CNN. Let's find the guy who gives us the dumbest answer and air it. Contrasting how CNN covers BLM protests vs. Trump rallies is both funny and sad. Mostly sad.
The slanted coverage is a major problem. There is massive dishonesty in how racial incidents are covered and there is huge differences in the coverage depending on who's rally/protest it is.Ah yes. Its the messenger that is the problem here. Same as Woodward I suppose.
And Im sure that guy was the only one there to think its a hoax too.Always someone else's fault. Guy at Trump rally says Covid's a hoax, made up. Whose fault is that? CNN of course. What a joke, per the thread title.
Where do you watch your news?The slanted coverage is a major problem. There is massive dishonesty in how racial incidents are covered and there is huge differences in the coverage depending on who's rally/protest it is.
One lib says something stupid and there's a 1000 posts of "it's just one guy of course it's stupid". One guy says this and the narrative changes to "i'm sure that was the only one there to think it's a hoax".And Im sure that guy was the only one there to think its a hoax too.
I don't watch news. If I see a story in here which looks slanted, I google it and read several sources. I look for facts, not opinion.Chaz McNulty said:Where do you watch your news?
And out of CNN and Fox News, who would you say is more slanted?
There were very few people wearing mask or doing any social distancing. What do you think those people's thoughts are about covid-19?Ramblin Wreck said:One lib says something stupid and there's a 1000 posts of "it's just one guy of course it's stupid".

These narratives are so laughably funny. Everyone sees right through them at this point.
If you asked 10 random maskless Trump rally attendees why they aren't wearing masks, I suspect we'd get 10 dumb answers.jon_mx said:Typical CNN. Let's find the guy who gives us the dumbest answer and air it.
Every day seems to be a new story proving them to be correct though.There were very few people wearing mask or doing any social distancing. What do you think those people's thoughts are about covid-19?
Sure, but you could ask 10 random people at BLM protests what they think of white police officers, and you would get 10 ignorant hate-filled rants. CNN is going to air the most reasonable and articulate answer they can find.If you asked 10 random maskless Trump rally attendees why they aren't wearing masks, I suspect we'd get 10 dumb answers.
Well, I think that's an exaggeration but I do agree that CNN slants coverage with a liberal bias.Sure, but you could ask 10 random people at BLM protests what they think of white police officers, and you would get 10 ignorant hate-filled rants.

Still haven't figured out what the "agenda" is from Democrats here. Governors are trying to save lives and therefore damaging their own economies, you think they want that?All that said, it's not a hoax which makes the guys comment dumb. But there's absolutely a politically driven agenda behind it from both sides.
Yep, Cuomo tried to save lives sending Covid positive people to nursing homes. And the agenda is Dems doing everything they can to blame Trump and try to make him look bad.Still haven't figured out what the "agenda" is from Democrats here.

See this is the part I need explained:And the agenda is Dems doing everything they can to blame Trump and try to make him look bad.
If this is in fact what you do, how is it that you always come away with the same opinions? Media bad, liberals bad, BLM bad, democrats bad, Trump also bad. But I will always defend the conservative viewpoint and trash those that disagree as brainwashed police hating marxists because systemic racism is made up.I don't watch news. If I see a story in here which looks slanted, I google it and read several sources. I look for facts, not opinion.
And its been a continuing narrative among many who support Trump...that it will just all go away after the election...not that all Trump supporters feel that way...but that of those who feel its a hoax or buy into Qanon level crap...they are supporting Trump.There were very few people wearing mask or doing any social distancing. What do you think those people's thoughts are about covid-19?
It is pretty easy when you see the media reports a white supremist hunts down a young black child and kills him because he was wearing hoodie and then railroads him and demands his head.If this is in fact what you do, how is it that you always come away with the same opinions?

Seems like your "facts" are pretty slanted themselves.
Ahmaud Arbery on the other hand was a case some people were defending the actions of the white guy who shot him. I pointed out why i thought the DA was corrupt for not filing charges and made the legal arguments as to why thsse guys had no legitimate self-defense claim and need to be prosecuted for murder.If this is in fact what you do, how is it that you always come away with the same opinions?

Link?It is pretty easy when you see the media reports a white supremist hunts down a young black child and kills him because he was wearing hoodie and then railroads him and demands his head.
The sky is blue. You are really gonna deny that was reported. Fortunately for many on this forum the thread was deleted as it was a major embarrassment for lefties in here.Link?
Here is another link."Journalists are addicted above all else to the good story. And the saga of the bigoted, frustrated would-be law enforcement officer gunning down the helpless child was too good to check. It's also another example of how groupthink can shape news coverage."
In my KOMO radio commentary of March 23, 2012, I said the following about the killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman:
“Thinking of 17-year old Trayvon the way we’d think of our own kids is exactly how to view this tragedy. The man who police say shot him, George Zimmerman, is a 28-year old CrimeWatch volunteer, who apparently did just about everything a Crimewatch volunteer SHOULDN’T do, such as following the 17 year old teen when a 911 dispatcher advised him not to, confronting him when he had no business doing so, and shooting him. Mr. Zimmerman was not standing his ground against an aggressor, he WAS the aggressor. And Trayvon Martin received the death penalty for walking home in the rain wearing a hooded sweatshirt, and carrying a pack of candy.”
Everything I said was based on what the network news media had been reporting, and continued to report for months. And it was almost entirely wrong.
Maybe I missed the part about the white supremacist hunting down the young black child?
Yeah...calling the guy bigoted does not rise to calling him a white supremacist. Not even close.Maybe I missed the part about the white supremacist hunting down the young black child?
I didn't see anything like that in there.
Here is a few....Maybe I missed the part about the white supremacist hunting down the young black child?

When George Zimmerman saw Trayvon Martin walking down the street in Sanford, Florida, he quickly assumed that the Black, hoodie-clad teenager was carrying a weapon.
He then pulled out his gun and fatally shot the young student, whose hands were gripping nothing more than a bag of Skittles.
The fact that George Zimmerman assumed so quickly that Trayvon Martin was armed smacks of the worst kind of prejudice and racism.

100% untrue. Believing the initial narrative on George Zimmerman, I thought he should hang. Then as the facts rolled out, I started to change my mind until it was obvious how fraudulent the case was against him. The Ahmaud Arbery earlier this year was the exact opposite. When I first heard the story, I assumed the DA knew the facts and was correct to let the killers go as being justified. But as I read the facts, it became apparent that the DA ignored the law, and there was no way that what they did was justified just based on what they said. And the videos which came out were even more damaging. I am easily more opened-minded than most folks here. I have no issue trashing Republicans. I can even compliment Democrats in the rare instance they make some sense. I read stories from all sides with skepticism and make up my own mind by considering facts from a variety of sources from all political slants.Jeez Jon. I don't remember or frankly care about your thoughts on events from nearly a decade ago. I'm talking about TODAY, in Donald Trump's America, and your refusal, despite your declaration of fact-seeking, to ever move off of your original positions about pretty much anything. I'm not saying you're wrong to have those positions, I'm saying stop acting like you're the final arbiter of objective truth when your opinion NEVER changes regardless of evidence.
