Need to pull the Viking Kitties out of retirement and commence to zotting. All kitties need some hapless fool to play with.

I’m not sick and tired of it. Mostly I’m amused.

They are wasting their time trying to influence us to see their point of view, which is fine. Better that they spend time and effort on us than influencing people who might be weaker who could be influenced.

Like my mom (preacher’s wife) who would invite JWs into the house and spend hours acting all interested. She said it was better that they wasted their time on her than on someone who might be convinced.

I hate to break this to you, but you don’t have too be some leftist to recognized the bias in articles and publications.

The idea that bias ONLY happens on the left is laughable.

Epoch Times, Newsmax, GateWay Pundit, are insanely right wing biased... The latter two, are honestly not even worth citing as sources, other than very very rare occasions, as their standards and accuracy are horrible. Epoch is decidedly better, but to say it isn’t right wing biased is living in denial.

Yes, CNN, MSNBC, and the major networks are all left wing biased, to differing degrees, and Fox News, which is right wing biased, is honestly more so GOP Establishment biased.

Bias is in everything, the key is to recognize it, and process information accordingly.

The pure reality is, that yellow journalism is nothing new, and that what is passed as “news” today, is really just entertainment and propaganda. The various outlets have discovered they make more money telling a particular segment things that confirm their own biases, rather than trying to tell (as best as possible) the unbiased truth.

I tell my segment what they want to hear, I get 2-3M viewers daily to tune in, so they can hear and see things that confirm their own world view. I actually try my best to tell the truth without bias, I’ll get 1M viewers a day if that.

So they have segmented out the market and pander to a particular segment, telling them what they want to hear.

That’s “news” today.

There are a number of fed accounts here.Pretty much always has been. Some are very long term accounts, that have probably had a number of people post from them. It's just one of those things you find online anywhere.

Signing a loyalty agreement might help - it’s a private site set up for conservatives. Liberals come here to stop communication between citizens.

If they’re attempting to destroy the site and they’ve signed an agreement that they’re conservatives, then JimRob can sue them.

It's funny that I made a crack on a thread about speed limiters on cars in California, and the haters are coming after me now, using taunts and insults on such a silly thing.

I think they look for prolific long-timers to target to make themselves feel superior or something.
