Maybe because it's just the latest domino to fall, but I'm absolutely disgusted with the professional sports leagues and the way they have caved to the left. It makes me sick that a guy with a loud international voice like Lebron James denounces "racism" and "repression" in this country but won't say a word against the repressive actions of the Chinese government. The greedy hypocrite can go to hell for all I care.

And what does it say about the direction of this country when Nike signs Colin Kaepernick to a $20+ million contract, and Megan Rapinoe gets her own TV talk show called "Seeing America"?

It's our obsession with train wrecks & car crashes? Notice her first guest was none other than AOC.

MSNBC producer Ariana Pekary slams network as ‘cancer’ after quitting jobnypost.com/2020/08/04/msnbc-producer-calls-network-a-cancer-after-quitting-job/
"An MSNBC producer released a scathing open letter after quitting her job — accusing the network of becoming a “cancer” that “blocks diversity of thought” and “amplifies fringe voices.”"
Here is a link to her letter, really worth the read, honest and points out much of what we banter about....Personal news: why I’m now leaving MSNBC
But behind closed doors, industry leaders will admit the damage that’s being done.
“We are a cancer and there is no cure,” a successful and insightful TV veteran said to me. “But if you could find a cure, it would change the world.”
As it is, this cancer stokes national division, even in the middle of a civil rights crisis. The model blocks diversity of thought and content because the networks have incentive to amplify fringe voices and events, at the expense of others… all because it pumps up the ratings.
This cancer risks human lives, even in the middle of a pandemic. The primary focus quickly became what Donald Trump was doing (poorly) to address the crisis, rather than the science itself. As new details have become available about antibodies, a vaccine, or how COVID actually spreads, producers still want to focus on the politics. Important facts or studies get buried.

Doesn't seem all the bias is working for both sides equally..... being less biased must be the better formula...
Boycotted. Criticized. But Fox News Leads the Pack in Prime Time.Led by Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, the channel’s pro-Trump lineup outranked every network from 8 to 11 p.m. in June and July.
www.nytimes.com/2020/08/09/business/media/fox-news-ratings.html
In one sense, this has been a difficult period for Fox News: a star anchor fired after being accused of sexual harassment, a lawsuit depicting a misogynist workplace, a top writer exposed as a racist internet troll, advertiser boycotts and outrage after Tucker Carlson called protesters “criminal mobs” and questioned the patriotism of a senator who lost her legs in Iraq.
In another sense, business has never been better.
In June and July, Fox News was the highest-rated television channel in the prime-time hours of 8 to 11 p.m. Not just on cable. Not just among news networks. All of television. The average live Fox News viewership in those hours outstripped cable rivals like CNN, MSNBC and ESPN, as well as the broadcast networks ABC, CBS and NBC, according to Nielsen.

CNN needs to brush up on their Civil War history.

Jeremy Diamond obviously googles the same revisionist sources that Vilepagan does.

Social MEDIA BIAS alert, Susan Rice popped onto my Twitter feed with a CONGRATS KAMALA post pro Biden yada yada.... I then hit the comments..., probably scrolled through a few hundred... 100 % replies. This is not possible without FULL EDITING by TWITTER. This is what we are up against.

Is this even news anymore?
Evening newscasts 150 times more negative toward Trump than Biden, study sayswww.foxnews.com/media/evening-newscasts-150-times-more-negative-trump
'That’s not news reporting -- that’s a negative advertising campaign in action,' Rich Noyes says The evening newscasts on ABC, CBS and NBC have been 150 times more negative when covering President Trump compared to presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, according to a new study.
The Media Research Center analyzed all statements made by reporters, anchors and nonpartisan sources, such as experts or voters, made on CBS’ “Evening News,” “NBC Nightly News” and ABC’s “World News Tonight” from June 1 through July 31.

We ALMOST all admit and see it.... A majority of Americans think social media sites are politically biased: Report
finance.yahoo.com/news/social-media-bias-survey-175915487.html
Americans increasingly believe social media companies like Facebook (FB) and Twitter (TWTR) are censoring political speech despite a lack of any hard evidence of such bias.
According to a recent survey of 4,708 U.S. adults conducted by the Pew Research Center between June 16 and June 22, 73% of respondents say that it is somewhat or very likely that social media sites purposely censor political viewpoints they find objectionable.  |

It's a little fiery, but mostly peaceful protest. Hopefully none of you are drinking your morning coffee when reading this.

There are 8 words in this comment, lets play a game, can you identify the false words used to convey this journalists points yet not accuracies...? "It's intensely fiery, but mostly raging riot." |
