You know things are a tad askew when Judge Judy makes you laugh more than Stephen Colbert or other 'resister comedians'.
-I simply can't believe people still use that lie 'there are good people on both sides' as if it's an example of Trump's racism. There's literally no excuse for this given we have access to the full quote to understand the proper context to which it was uttered. It was awkward, I'll concede that, but not racist.
Same with this persistence, without proof, of him being a misogynist.
Or the idea that 'only uneducated' people voted for him and blue collar people who were fooled by his promises.
About 12% of Obama voters voted for Trump. Were they uneducated hicks who voted against their interests?
The left like to scream Alex Jones is conspiratorial but this is a case of projection.
I was reading about how Disney took a hit with its Vice Media investment and how left-wing digital media sites are falling apart and being sold at a fraction of the cost they were purchased.
Meanwhile, conservative publications seem to be healthier and garner massive 'engagement' numbers that dwarf anything on the left which seem to focus on fringe ideological content.
Content the 'silent moderate majority' tends to laugh at. If they're being shared it's more of a 'look at how unhinged these fools are'. Be it ThinkProgress or CNN.
The interesting part is The Daily Wire does very well and is the main source of news for the right. Know what the the equivalent is for the left? OccupyDemocrats. For those of you who don't know them, they're basically far left conspiratorial.
Alex Jones - who got banned and unpersoned - wasn't a main source of news for libertarians or conservatives. He was categorized as entertainment and people on the right understood this.
But he got de-platformed.
By contrast, OD is the most popular source of news ahead of CNN and even Motherjones!
In any event, the left have gone waaayyy too far and readers are turning away. No one wants to be told how bad they are or how they're racist, or about toxic masculinity, and so on.
I would even assert they're also beginning to take offence at the gratuitous shots at Christianity.
As for Fox, Fox reporting is fine. I wouldn't be surprised if they issue the fewest retractions or mea culpas among the big broadcasters. It's the spin people conflate with their reporting of the facts.
We all know Fox leans right. There's not surprise and people who rail against it should stop acting like this is somehow a mystery. You know what you're getting with Fox. That takes a certain degree of honesty.
CBS, NBC, CNN etc (despite essentially owned or beneficiaries from liberal owners or donors) refuse to admit their liberal - heck progressive - stance and still pretend to hide behind a wall of 'objective' journalism. This takes a certain degree of dishonesty.
Beyond this, and I reckon is a lifeline for the liberal media, lies the ad revenue hogging juggernauts of Google and Facebook.
Both organizations clearly lie on the left side of the spectrum. It's one thing to have those leanings and quite another when they begin to push their weight and actually engage in activism via censorship - along with Twitter - against conservative voices.
It's a huge problem.
Think of it.
If alternative or differing views are eliminated, we would never have found out about, for example, Rotherham. Or many other stories the press refuses to cover to satisfy their corporate masters.
