orange sky posted:Well I don't know, in Portugal as far as I'm aware I've never seen a News Channel/Newspaper/Editorial supporting a candidate in anything in an official manner. Of course we know which media sides with which political party but there's never a blatant "Here, vote x". Maybe the laws just aren't the same, I guess. Editorial columns are opinion columns?

Kurieg posted:I mean their article is basically nothing but them pointing out everything wrong with Hillary before going "But at least she's not Trump because holy poo poo what is wrong with you people." which is a stance several conservative outlets are taking. I mean I think the point is to push Clinton to improve on her image because it's kinda poo poo right now, but just to acknowledge even Clinton at her worst is better than Trump at his best. poo poo I'm usually Republican-leaning but Clinton would basically have to kill one of my family members with a hatchet at this point to get me to vote Trump.

The schadenfreude is on both political parties where either party would have been better off with almost anyone else. They both managed to pick the most loathsome candidate they could. Historians are going to rank Beau Biden's death right up there with Archduke Ferdinand's if Hillary loses.

Hillary is actually cool and good. Regarding ITT its a little frustrating knowing that those folks may get student loan forgiveness. I want in on that.

I also choose not to drink powdered glass. But I did say "Closest to without" because they do, sometimes, do that. Even then they're still couched as Editorials.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I guess you don't read a lot of newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch Goddamn I hate Australian media and am glad I don't have to read that petty whiny opinionated poo poo paper anymore. Even when it's 'unbiased' it's so blatantly biased and scientifically illiterate. It's like the editorial team is a committee of soccer mom's at a ladies lunch.

I tried to google if literal party newspapers would have endorsed their own candidate, but it doesn't look like that either. The articles were definitely coloured, sure, but even the communists weren't tasteless enough to outright tell people to vote for themselves. I'm not surprised UK newspapers do, though, they're famous for saying "you couldn't make this up" before printing outrageous lies they made up themselves.

I watched the roast and seeing her sit there with a fake-rear end smile practically shivering like a nervous Chihuahua was the best. It only got better when she tried promoting her stupid book and bombed every "joke" she told. Everyone else was loving brutal toward her though and she deserved every bit of it.
