Journalists are partisan. Readers too are partisan.
NBC poll surveyed 1200 Republicans and 97% of them do not accept Biden as the legitimate winner of the election. NINETY-SEVEN percent.
You'd think in an age of easy access to information that more people would be less inclined to anecdotal exaggerations (like this nurse on CNN) and conspiracy theories (like widespread voter fraud).
Sensationalism drives the media.
Whatever helps you Trump enablers to sleep at night I guess.
Spewing amateurish and obviously false Trumpy talking points at me is not going to get you anywhere but I know I've riled up the rubes when these replies start flowing.
I know its tough to admit to yourself that you fell for a conman.

https://twitter.com/DavidAFrench/status/1330957501827833858?s=20Dude the lefts obsession with the Russian bogeyman is incredibly damaging. The narrative changed so much. What the left was screaming about was not that the Trump campaign had contact with a Russian at some point to dig up dirt on his opposition. That would not be illegal.
The left went crazy over the narrative pushed by the Steele dossier which was a totally made piece of work paid for by Clinton campaign. The left continues to say oh the Mueller Report showed this and that. The Mueller report did not show any of the illegal narratives that Trump was being accused of that were actually illegal and there was a massive shifting of the goalpost after it turned out not to be true.
Then as soon as the Hunter Biden story comes out the Adam Schiff brings the Russia bogeyman back out lieing that the defense community briefed them that this was Russian disinformation. Seriously watch the interview, the guy is a pathological liar and its all documented on tape. The left has continued to push this Russia narrative as a way to discredit the Trump presidency when the real focus should be on China.

That's naive, the media knows exactly what they are doing. I see stories everyday that say, ABC Institute released a report stating so-and-so is bad or so-and-so is good. And when you spend 2 mins looking in to this nonpartisan group, you find out they are infact very partisan.
Example 1: Factchecking. haven't found one that doesn't spin what is true and not.
Example 2: How many stories did you see about Trump's tax returns 1000s, and how many of those stories had opinions or quotes by tax accountants or former IRS agents? None.
Example 3: Biden has 50 years of public service on record. Ran for President atleast 3 times prior, but for some reason none of the prior issues are relevant?
Example 4: WI attempted and PA did shut the Green Party out of the ballot despite get them getting 20k+ votes in the previous Presidential election. The Green Party! Was this ever news?
Can trust media, its all opinion. Need to read multiple source and ask your own questions about why?

The sad thing about this type of journalistic malfeasance is that it undermines the trust of the public. It gives fuel to the COVID deniers.
I'm an ER doc. I've seen my community hit with 2 big waves of COVID. I've treated hundreds if not thousands of COVID patients. Most not that sick, but many deathly ill. COVID is real and it's serious.
But I've never ever heard a patient or a family member utter anything remotely close to what this nurse is claiming. I've never even heard a tale this ridiculous from a nurse or provider. At the very least this woman is hugely exaggerating. But she fits the preset narrative being pushed by CNN. They aren't trying to find the truth. They are pushing propaganda.

Yep. The lie that cops are killing all the black people. That is why when a black person gets shot by a cop (even if the black person has a gun), there has to be outrage, rioting and looting.
Anyone but a black person gets shot it don't even make the news.
Conclusion for the masses: Cops are only shooting black people- and for reason at all! ... BLM says, lets go riot and loot and get some free stuff from the local Walmart. Media insert (the protests were peaceful- while in the background a small business is burning to the ground.)

Nobody really cares that Trump lost...
The liberals are owning themselves again by being mad that nobody really cares that Trump lost.

Nice distraction... I thought we were talking about how a lot of nurse/ docs have some personal " buy-in" by exaggerating the narrative. Heroes on board... I wear my scrubs to the bus stop because I want people to think I'm on the front line, in the trenches, selflessly risking my life. Look at who is profiting financially and emotionally.
So just to be clear, a couple of people at Fox have called an unmentioned number of nurses at hospitals in the same general area and haven’t heard the same thing. That’s the story falling apart, is that other nurses (at least the ones that Fox News talked to) didn’t have the same experience. I don’t know what CNN would even respond to there.

Nurses shouldn't feel good about themselves!
Man you guys will really do anything to keep the narrative going.
You guys are breathless about a viral tweet that faded from the public consciousness days ago while ~2k Americans die per day and counting.
Regardless, with the amount of "muh 6% from COVID alone" takes on here I wouldn't be surprised if boomer Trumps are so desperate to avoid being coded as a COVID death. Anything for their fallen hero.
Most CNN viewers despise Trump and his supporters. Most Fox News viewers love Trump and despise liberals.
Each network caters to their audience and drastically skews their version of the truth. If you don’t see that, then you fall into one of the 2 sides. I’m pretty solid in the middle, and I think they are equally poor at journalism but good at capitalism.
My understanding is that Fox pulls higher ratings than CNN, but I’m sure that’s because there are far fewer right leaning new sources than left leaning.
That's weird. All of the other media outlets claim that they are absolutely not left leaning but Fox is far right. Shouldn't the other all outperform Fox if they are dead center. That is what most people are searching for.
Serious question for Harambe:. Are you a chick? Seems like you have a lot of emotional energy.

A minority wants dead center, most people want to see what aligns with their beliefs. If 53% of the country is left of center and they have 5 choices of news networks, they get 10.6% viewership split equally. The other 47% goes to Fox. I know those arent real numbers, but just an example.

Sure I understand that explains Twitter and facebook. But how do you explain letsrun? I can't imagine it is remotely big enough for a the bots to attack but we are inudated with the crazies. Does running just attract nut jobs? Is Rojo recruiting them to keep the board active?Are there really only like 1 nut job and the rest all alt accounts?
