Actually, I was parroting JD. Watched him say it on TV. Such a chud.

The 24 hour news cycle. It is killing us. SR you make some good points, just remember it’s a two way street. The far right including the BO does the exact same thing.

I would argue that to be a journalist, one must answer to an editor or editorial board. The far right has sought to discredit media who wont drink the kool-aid but none of their media answers to anybody.
So although both sides are slanted, the far right just makes it up.

Old school journalism, where its practitioners followed any story no matter who it helped or hurt, told both sides, and were fair and objective, is dying, and is effectively dead as a dodo in the alphabet networks, wire services and major newspapers. It has been replaced by what those who now pose as journalists call "advocacy journalism" where it is all about taking a side and promoting that side. A more accurate term for "advocacy journalism" is "propagnda". That is why the presideintial "news" coverage of ABC News was 100% positive on Kamala Harris and 93% negative on Donald Trump. They were clear partisans and should never have been allowed to control a presidential debate.

So you admit making up your conspiracy theory here, Bobbie? It looks to me you are just parroting the far left talking points.

Like JD, its cool to make stuff up to call attention to a problem. He actually said that. What a chud.

Absolutely not true, and unfortunately makes political violence more likely. Not journalism at its finest.

Linsey Davis and David Muir equate to very, very low standards of journalism. No integrity at all.

I know like all professions, there are standards.

Conspiracy Theory Bobbie wants to suggest that a Trump-hating, Biden-Harris supporting frequent Democrat political contributor did a deal to support Trump? What utter nonsense, but that must be what his far left talking points are telling him to spew.

Felons don't have gun rights, nor should they have voting rights, but far left Bobbie seems to think they should have both, and no one has a right to have a gun with the serial numbers filed off like this dude had.

If we want to see womething that was "set up" that would be the Democrat puppeteers coup against Biden.

Yes Bobby technically you would be a pilot. But what kind of pilot?

In truth, you would be a "pile it," one that "piles dumb rhetoric here, and piles it there." You leave piles of it wherever you go.

Just my humble opinion.

Since the beginning of writing, we have had citizen journalist...hired or unhired. Why do always play stupid?

I just we should do our own research and make sure trump didn’t set it up.
We should all be supporting this man’s gun rights. Older white men just don’t get the benefit of the doubt and we should all be concerned
