There are academic studies quantifying pro-Democrat political bias by the major networks going back decades, and it only seems to get worse. That is why multiple polls show that the majority of Americans comprehend that the media is political biased and they don't trust it. Trust in major media by Americans has been sinking like a stone among Americans, although there is a higher trust level in local media.

As to hate, the biggest hate-fest I have ever seen was the 2024 Democrat National Convention. Instead of presenting policies, all they could do was spew hate.

Mike Pence was a decent although not outstanding Congressman, but a real dud as a governor, very wishy-washy. Many traditional conservatives like myself were not thrilled when Trump picked him for VP due to his very lackluster record as governor. Trump made a much better choice this time with J. D. Vance, althought choosing Ron deSantis would have been an even better choice.

The title of this post kind of makes my point.
MAGA- they hate everything and everyone.

Ask yourself, why wasn’t Mike Pence on that stage?

WOKE is the party of grievance, and they have a name for their grievance policy. It is called DEI.

We do need to get these heavily biased liberal networks OUT of the debate business. They are neither neutral nor fair and have a very long history of skewing debates to the Democrats and the left.

Rona Romney McDaniel, although generally rather incompetent at RNC, did have one great idea. She pushed through a vote at the Republican National Committee to dump the Commission on Presidential Debates and have the parties negotiate the terms directly. The Commission had a long history of putting pro-Democrat debate moderators in place.
Unfortunately, her successor did not follow through, allowing the Biden campaign to jump out first and set debate perameters even worse than the commission.

In 2028, the RNC needs to engage early with the DNC on debate arrangements. The most important thing is a fair moderator team. Since finding anyone who is genuinely neutral is almost impossible, and IS impossible in the major media, the best arrangement is to have two moderators, one designated by each side. Like the Lincoln - Douglas debates, the gold standard of American political debates, half of the questions should come from each campaign.

For some REAL science on the global warming scam, the UK's Channel 4 interviewed many prominent scientists from around the world for their documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" which was broadcast nationally. The scientists explain why CO2 has nothing to do with causing any change in climate. You can watch the whole documentary here: www.youtube.com

Of course, the Democrat flunky "moderators" of last night's debate failed to ask any substantive questions about Walz' ties to China, only about his lying about being there at a particular time, which Walz answered by calling himself a "knucklehead"

We badly need to get the biased leftwing MSM propaganda media OUT of running debates. They are so far in the tank for the Democrats, it might as well be the DNC running the debate. Watching those propagandists inject their leftwing ideology and narrative into the debate, then cut off Vancs' mic so he could not respond is something that one would have expected in the USSR. They want to call it "fact checking" but that is just Orwellian Newspeak for "spinning". When they do that, they can no longer even pretend to be neutral, which, of course, they never really were.

Republicans should NEVER consent to letting the alphabet media have control of a debate. They are nothing but the propaganda section of the Democrat Party.

There have been bad hurricanes throughout history. Hazel in the 1950s is an example that some probably remember. What made Helene so bad was that it ran into a stalled cold front that had already been dumping rain on the same area for days. Cold fronts stall all the time, too. This was just a bad sequence of events. All of that happening over bountainous terrain that is particularly prone to flooding was the other ingredient. CO2 had absolutely nothing to do with it except to the climate cult and their wacky narrative.

After that hurricane you're sticking to your position on climate change. Really? That funny.

Anywho, Stan we are all Americans. From the whacko far left to the whacko far right. Those of us in the middle wont be swayed by the doomsday rants, the insults, and the arrogant.

Tomorrow, we will get up, have breakfast, go to work, take care of our families, enjoy our good fortune, grieve our losses, love our friends and neighbors, have a cold one and Thank God at the end of the day.

Honestly I feel sorry for you because you waste the great gift dwelling on our differences. Nobody gets out alive. In a 100 years nobody will even know we were here. Cheers !

Debate observation:
Both JD and Tim should be running for president. Harris and Trump should be the VP. Both VP candidates far outshine the presidential candidates. JD has a future but unfortunately he is saddled with crazy.

The Biden-Harris FEMA did not pre-stage workers and supplies for this hurricane, which previous administrations had done for major hurricanes. It was 80 hours AFTER the disaster that FEMA first arrived in western North Carolina, a couple of days behind state of NC relief workers.

What has changed with FEMA? Look at their new mission statement under Biden Harris. Of their three new key objectives, number one is "equity", number two is "climate" and number three is a "strong FEMA". This radical administration has rearranged the FEMA we previously knew. Will proper aid be denied to western North Carolina because the area is largely white with no "oppressed minorities" to promote. Will rebuilding be stymied by the climate crazies? We cannot get President Trump back soon enough to end this far left nonsense.

Nobody puts a gun to the heads of the core Democratic Socialists, and commands these self-governed people that they must vote for incredibly stupid and dishonest politicians to represent them.

As I understand it, this is their choice since so many Democratic Socialists are so ill informed on what is the truth, and what is the fiction of what they are fed from the Democratic Socialist Propagandistic Media trough. The why in the how of why they are so ill informed is from a myriad of indoctrinations; regardless, it is very frightening to those of who have clarion thought to know that this continues to occur in such large measure, especially when we live in this age of information.

As an optimist, it is my prayer that all is not lost in this self-governed society. The choice in this upcoming election in very simple.

The only unmeasurable issue is: How much will the Democratic Socialists cheat in this 2024 election for president?

WTIB radio is collecting supplies for the western counties. Glenn Beck's MercuryOne charity is, too.
