CBS news busted

If someone as bad as Hillary wins the popular vote by someone as bad as Trump, even by dozen counties what does that tell ya?;) Carry on Ollie:D
It tells me that I'm glad a dozen counties out of 3,141 don't decide national presidential elections.
 
The "freedom of the press" is an abused concept, and like you say one cannot tell the difference between "news" and "opinion" or out and out fabrication. The press is ripping the fabric of our society.
I have long felt that it is time for some legislation to hold the press accountable in that, they differentiate between factual news, opinion, and editorial with the penalty of very swift and stiff fines to include incarceration. There doesn't seem to be a single broadcast, web, or radio "newscast" that isn't laced with an influencing and biased opinion.

Nothing wrong with Freedom of legitimate press. The problem is that the “press tent” has gotten far too big and inclusive.
 
Hydroxychloroquine FDA approved for treatment of....................wait...............................wait for it ........COVID 19.

Imagine that!
 
I get it Trump turns many people off, but what about the Democrat party is appealing? Did you see CBS latest BS story about the "nurse" crying for masks and quitting? A Bi-polar nut job given national exposure for more shock news.

It was pathetic....again
 
Wrong again, that is unless you count illegal aliens and dead people.
Besides, popular vote? You’re in the wrong country then.

Why, because I have different opinion then you...? If that is your argument then you might be on the wrong side of the border...
 
Lying media is nothing new. As a fresh, young police officer in 1993, I was standing security at a double-homicide scene. I was as green as could be. Reporter blatantly lied to me and told me an old crusty sergeant told her to get the victim’s names from me. Really? She then pointed to an older sergeant across the parking lot. Of course I knew better. Being polite, I told her I was not authorized to say anything.
I have never trusted a single thing any reporter or anyone in media has ever told me in the last 27 years. They are human, ambitious, and backed by politically biased funding sources. They will do whatever it takes to get the scoop, the views, the clicks, etc.

I have found the most reliable news sources, oxymoron, are the pure financial news sources such as TD Ameritrade, Edward Jones, etc. (Not Wall Street Journal) These companies must get the news accurate because readers are making financial decisions based on the information. If CNN/Fox/whoever, kept causing their viewers to make bad financial decisions, the problem would be self-correcting.
Unfortunately, these sources are relying on the AP and other lying sensationalists, but do some verification work to try and maintain some validity. Remember, if the info is wrong and I lose money, I will take my business elsewhere. It is not simply entertainment/info like CNN/Fox.
The news is limited in scope, but I don’t want to know anything except how it will affect my retirement anyway!!!
 
Literacy? :D

In all seriousness both parties suck. They're all corrupt to the core and the division being stoked will be the end of the US as we know it
Literacy? Ha ha, if you take the “12” counties that gave Hillary her popular vote victory, I’d venture to say the literacy rates in la and nyc schools isnt that high. It may have illiteracy that actually got her those numbers.

That’s one of the greatest things about having an outsider in the Oval Office. He sheds a light on just how screwed up DC really is.
Could you just imagine how much more bloated that stimulus bill they passed last week would have been if there was a typical DC politician POTUS?

Duude! She LOST! Enough already.

Nothing new,
I started in policing 40 years ago and it was the same then too.
Can’t count how many times I handled something or was on the scene and then saw it in the media and it was nothing like what actually happened.
Take any info you get from the media with a grain of salt.
 
Nothing new. Has always been that way. It started with newpapers hundreds of years ago. Its not just the media Its easy for anyone to put something out there now and develop a following. You can make money, and lots of it, by creating your own "news" and generating followers. With easy internet access to billions of people, you can find a tiny niche target market, spout lies and part truths, use photos that are not correct, and make lots and lots of money.

I think the best you can do is listen/read as much as you can, from all sides and perspectives. Understand the spin that is put on it from all sides. Listen to what the actual people say and do, not what is reported about what they said or did. Fact check as best as you can. Part of that fact checking is seeing what all sides are saying about the same issue/event. There will be part of the "news" from all sides that is fact, and there will be missing facts, and alternative facts. All of it delivered with a plan and an agenda and an objective to sway you to that view. Fox does it, CNN does it, ABC does it. Every single post on this thread does it.

And make up your own mind.

Or....I could rely on the factual, objective, real-time, verified, relevant, unbiased information from my fellow boaters here on CSR!!!!!!

Go CSR!!!

Now Pelosi and the Dems want to include illegal aliens and convicts in the next stimulus bill!
They want The Green New Deal and all kinds of BS.

NFW.

That mental midget AOC is demanding illegals get the money and if they don’t, the billions they pay in income taxes every year should be refunded.
If a person is illegal, how the hell do they pay income tax?
If a non citizen is filing a tax return, then under the guidelines for the free money they already qualify for the stimulus money.
