some of that might be helpful. 'tho Facebook, X and the sludge of right-wing morgues (where truth or thought goes to die)* show some have no pride, shame or gray-matter.
additionally, with all the unauthorized, spook behavior of Leon and ilk - maybe a liability.
would prefer some balance.
the fairness doctrine was put there to give people a different perspective. most people try to be fair. like any debate, no one person is going to win them all. and often efficiently culls the hacks EX: Rush Limbaugh tried a TV show but his audience ran him off the air {check out YouTube} ideas were challenged and died on the vine. Rush's vineyard went dry.
plus, believe people would love to hear something new. get the idea Fox audiences are s t a r v e d for some synaptic activity when the former Sec of Trans got a standing O because of it.
it felt good. and not so damn blah-blah-blah.
plus just getting the spectrum of people talking to each, trying to actually solve something, just might provide us the way back to some sense of sanity.

*yeah. no group has corner the market on bad brains - but the per capita is defiantly skewed toward the far right.

another head scratcher/gut churner/soul sighing show. it's way over time to get some patrols on the 'information highway'. the web of lies/undue social influence/bias reporting/echo chambers and general nastiness needs some lines of (lack of a better word) decency that nary be crossed.
it's been done before.
'fire in a crowed theater' put some measurement on of the definition of 'free speech'. there is a line where 'free speech' fails to be freedom & becomes the dungeons of despair.
it's a tough subject to gauge, but do trust caring* people can draw a 'line-in-the-sand' so young people don't kill themselves over cyber bulling. or hyper-partisan yodels don't attack random INNOCENT people. or where honesty and a love of variable facts becomes a touchstone.
it needs to happen.
this would be the (past) time to get all types together and hammer out some guidelines. Maybe, use existing laws. change the 230(#?) shield limits. AI monitoring. or have civil suits to sue, sue, and sue until the posting of anything that comes into a person's head, meets a reality check.
not against the exchange of ideas, challenges of the norms, or any free speech of merit (or even some of dubious value) -but just getting us out of the muck of the 'muddy minimum-maintenance roadway of disinformation'.
peace.


*extend that to all of the 'sick-of-this-s*it' folk)

Haven't we seen this before? Anyway...

Maybe I'm in a taking-this-too-serious mood, but not finding it "funny" when all I can think of this is just a stupid TikTok "challenge" thing... BUT it is facinating social study. Adults using (abusing?) kids as tools for likes & subs. How the kids react to the adult's shenanigans.

Observation? This is the hilarious beginning to the end of civilisation I tell ya! We're not getting a hopeful Star Trek finale to humanity! The end is NIGH! LOL.

TV Hits Trump With 85% Negative News vs. 78% Positive Press for Harris

One week before Election Day, a new analysis from the Media Research Center finds that broadcast evening news coverage of the 2024 presidential race has been the most lopsided in history. Since July, ABC, CBS and NBC have treated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris to 78 percent positive coverage, while these same networks have pummeled former Republican President Donald Trump with 85 percent negative coverage. (See Methodology explanation at the end of this post.)

The difference in coverage between the two candidates is far greater than in 2016, when both Trump and then-challenger Hillary Clinton received mostly negative coverage (91% negative for Trump, vs. 79% negative for Clinton). It’s even greater than in 2020, when Joe Biden was treated to 66 percent positive coverage, vs. 92 percent negative for Trump.

The main reason for the imbalance: Since July, the Big Three have swamped their audiences with more than 230 minutes of airtime — virtually all of it negative

Yep, I completely agree. However, when I call someone out to challenge them to refute an argument I make a point of listening to their response. As expected it was completely irrelevant, hence the downvotes.

I think the best way to understand your own stance on an issue is to be able to coherently argue against it. That's why I like to hear well-constructed arguments for the opposing side.

I know it was too much to hope for from bob, but since I asked, I watched.

Awwww…poor booby. Lashing out like a baby that lost his pacifier…just like your fat boy…with stupid infantile nonsense…just like your fat boy.
Afraid to engage and prove again your idiocy and lack or morals or sanity, just like your fat boy.
The campaign has crumbled. Your boy has too, incapable of even the most softball friendly interview that doesn’t devolve into him angrily storming off half way through or embarrassing himself worse than Kamala ever could…he absolutely refuses to go to a real interview by a real reporter. He went of Fox, they pulled the one nonmaga reporter and treated him like a mentally challenged toddler…they had to physically help him sit on the couch (and it looks like they had him sit on an incontinence pad).
His health, and tenuous mental health, have completely failed, his campaign cancelled most events for exhaustion. If he can’t even handle a campaign, he definitely can’t handle the job.
Every sane person knows it.

When I was his age, it was definitely an option. It’s only a half flight of stairs, it shouldn’t even be a challenge…but it looks like he didn’t make it half way.

Wait…does that explain my no paycheck?

PARKOUR!!

You watched it? I doubt it. Presented such? What did you present? A statement based on no facts and one “judge” whose every actual decision has been overturned? (That’s why all the “paperless orders”…they aren’t decisions that could be appealed)

He points to 4 paragraphs of laws that each present legal basis for special prosecutors assigned by the AG (and other department heads, and congress). That’s 4 times he proved her wrong when she said there’s no basis to legally appoint them. He also pointed to multiple cases where those statutes were SUCCESSFULLY used to defend special prosecutors appointments, some that went to the Supreme Court, including Nixon’s. There are no cases where a court has found their appointment to be illegal…except this one by Cannon. That’s why I don’t think you watched.

You provided no such decision. You posted a moron in his mommy’s basement giving his opinion as he skips through the pages and reads tweets from the likes of parking lot lawyer Alina Habba.
It’s 90 pages long. Show me where you did in readable form without some morons head over half the page, I’ll gladly read it in its entirety knowing ahead of time exactly what it’s lacking, citation or precedent, and what it is omitting, a sane reading of at least 4 laws covering the appointment of special counsel by the AG and acceptance of over 50 years of precedent including the Nixon case where he also challenged the appointment but lost.
I know for certain with your English skills you wouldn’t understand half of the first paragraph without someone explaining slowly.

You have never applauded truth, you cannot ever recognize it and shun it with eyes and ears closed when it’s forced on you….you have still never once retracted a single one of the thousands of lies you’ve spread…like the disgusting lie you gleefully told as often as possible when an elderly man survived an assasination attempt and you said “No politics involved, no MAGA, Pelosi was attacked by his own boyfriend”. You meant it. It was a politically motivated assassination attempt by a Trumpist Qanon believer, now convicted. You still stick with the lie.
You never will retract any of your lies because you and your ilk HATE truth and only deal in lies, because you sir are a liar, plain and simple…a simpleton and a liar.

Ahhhhahahah! Awww…”dickhead”?! Isn’t that one of Trump’s nicknames…Tiny hands Don…lil no shaft…dickhead….mushroom tip? Are your feelings hurt?

Cohen is the key…Who told you that?
They lied.

There are volumes of proof, from emails to texts to checks signed by the big man to recordings of him discussing the payoffs, how to hide them, try to delay and maybe not pay after the election because it won’t matter then, etc. Cohen only explained and corroborated that evidence.

The evidence is the key between Stormy and Trump, and far more importantly between Trump and the scheme to hide her payoff as legal fees to protect his election chances, which is the crime here, not the cheating to the second power…on his mistress and his wife.

Just like the phone call you said he lied about that tanked the case but is now corroborated with video and photographic evidence and stipulated to by Trump’s team, he didn’t lie, he told the truth that he “stole” from Trump (or set his own fee for hiring and secretly paying the company in cash to falsify polls, depending on your viewpoint) by telling Trump to REIMBURSE him for $50k to redfinch but he only paid them $20k in cash to hide the payment…again (shockingly he wanted to be paid for making that clandestine transaction). Trumps entire defense is he didn’t have a NDA (something he’s admitted to having publicly) and he didn’t REIMBURSE Cohen he paid him for legal fees, but this was definitely reimbursed in that payment, stipulated by both sides now. There’s physical evidence proving the rest was reimbursement too, handwritten notes, texts, emails, ledgers, and recordings, and common sense, you know Trump knew what half a million was paying for, he OKed the repayment. You fool. You keep buying these immaterial minutiae that you are told will save him by people who know you don’t understand how court works. If only it registered when, one by one, they become ethereal vapors. But. It. Never. Does. And. I. Believe. It. Never. Will.

There are recordings, texts, emails, and checks tying Trump directly to the hush money payment. Whoever is telling you this nonsense is lying, and you just won’t understand how he gets convicted because you’ve been told there’s no evidence and you haven’t bothered to look.

Yes. I don’t just think it, I know it. He is, was, and he will be guilty. Trump is undeniably guilty of business frauds a hundred times over, and tax frauds by the dozen, and this particular business fraud to hide election interference too. Yes. Definitely, no doubt, he has admitted it all publicly. I don’t know if he will be found guilty. I am fairly certain he won’t be acquitted….he might get a hung jury if even one maggot lied to get on and save him. Reportedly many tried.

I can’t serve on a jury, I’m honest that I’m prejudiced against police who are professional liars in every aspect of their job, who fought all the way to the Supreme Court to secure their right to lie to citizens about anything, and I don’t trust professional liars.
It’s dishonest asshats like yourself we need to keep off the jury. Would you have lied to get on? Can you admit you wouldn’t convict him no matter the evidence? I know it’s true, do you?
I would admit his extensive history of civil fraud convictions and constant lying would make me more likely to convict and unlikely to believe him, which would get me excused. I’m not a liar, even when it would benefit me. You cannot say the same, indeed once when Trump was caught lying about this very incident under oath you once said only a moron would tell the truth under oath if saying it would hurt them, and rather than remain silent lying under oath to protect yourself was perfectly acceptable….for Trump.

It will be appealed, but like every other appeal he’s lost, just like every popular vote, just like every challenge to the 2020 election, just like the coup, just like his rape defamation suit, just like his many business fraud lawsuits… he will lose. His track record in court is worse than his track record in business where he went bankrupt over a half dozen times including with a casino! Worse, he can’t afford competent lawyers and appeals cost a shit ton, and even if he “finds” the money (like under a Saudi check book) no capable attorney will take him as a client, most never get paid, many lose their licenses, all end up looking foolish for thinking THEY can be the one to change him.

It’s only gotten worse…the company doesn’t even meet the minimum requirements to do business in New York much less have a license to do so, and claims around $138 million in liquid assets but wrote a bond for $175 million, but New York statute only allows them to write a bond for up to 10% of their liquidity, not 130%!
The insufficient bond has been challenged and will be refused…do you really believe he can find another REAL bond?
It’s sure sounding like New York is going to start seizing properties next week. The hits just keep coming!

Bwaaaahahahahaaaaa!!!!
Vivik Ramaswami has been caught in Rhode Island having used the names of dead voters on his nomination papers to get himself on the ballot (not enough support from the living to qualify). Of course he blames third parties he hired to gather signatures but 1) that doesn’t in any way relieve him of the responsibility to ensure they are all 100% valid and 2) MAGA has a history of hiring MAGA companies to do these campaign activities that have a history of fraud or no history at all (they are created by MAGgots for the sole purpose of committing election fraud for the MAGA candidate).
Cheating just to be a candidate in hopes of being a VP pick, this is MAGA. ALL CHEATING ALL THE TIME.
He won’t drop out, and it won’t stop Trump from considering him as a yes man anything goes VP because any and all election fraud is fine with MAGA when it helps them.
More election fraud from MAGA won’t give a single writhing MAGgot pause about voting for them, election fraud is a main feature of treasonous tumescent MAGgots not a thing you actually care about, they(you) can’t win without it, from gerrymandering to ballot harvesting on massive scales, uncountable ridiculous failed election challenges, machine tampering, data theft, armed thugs “guarding” ballot drop boxes so the wrong people don’t vote, dead voters, false accusations of vote theft…it’s all from MAGgots, lying traitorous cheating violent MAGgots. Your people.

Trump is a rapist.

https://www.reuters.com/legal/trump-cannot-challenge-writers-rape-claim-defamation-trial-judge-rules-2024-01-08/

No…really, truly, legally, and factually, not hyperbolically. Not as a fantasy of some nutjob shouting it disrespectfully, but in reality.
Trump forcibly rapes women….and probably little girls too but definitely multiple women. There are a minimum of 26 accusers that weren’t silenced by the (now illegal) NDAs he typically used to silence victims.
You know it’s true. He already paid $5 million for lying about it, and is about to go to trial again for lying about it and may have to pay 20 times that much since he proved conclusively that $5 million wasn’t enough to stop him.

Still waiting. 😂
I’m not holding my breath…I don’t think you have the spine to admit a mistake, like Trump you are far too insecure to ever admit you were w-w-w-wrong….neither of you are 2% as cool as Fonzie.

Can you at least admit which MAGgot liar told you the bold faced lie that Trump wasn’t on the list? Was it Jr who did publicly post that lie, and tried to imply anyone mentioned is a definite child molester….until thousands of people pointed out that his daddy IS listed prominently throughout the depositions and was listed at least 4 times in the released documents…and at least 7 times on the flight logs to Child Rape Island between 94 and 98 during Epstein’s active child prostitution days….in fact they were nearly inseparable during the entire time period Epstein admitted he was involved in child prostitution, around 20 years, and for at least 4 years after he was arrested for it.

I’m guessing you won’t, because it will make you look that much dumber the next time you just take them at their self serving word. 🤦‍♂️

Bonus- Massachusetts, Illinois, and Louisiana all have newly filed challenges against Trump being on the ballot.
Enjoy trying to get racist MAGgots to vote for Nimarata Randhawa, your second place candidate’s actual name. 😂

Enjoy
