Some clown put on  while I was in the gym today. I was wearing headphones so I couldn't hear the audio, which made what I saw a bit surreal. On Cavuto, he showed Obama at a press conference with a quote from the president in text below saying "the middle class can't afford a tax hike right now." Then they interviewed two small business owners, with the text below saying "middle class Americans respond to President's tax hike plan" or something. How completely sucked into the hivemind does one have to be to not see such a bald-faced lie?

beatlegs posted:It's not as bad as FOX but it's full of that insufferable, smug, contemptuous beltway centrist attitude that is the whole problem with the newsmedia as a whole. Every now and then he'll be critical of Republicans, but only when they say or do something extreme or crazy - aside from that he pretty much falls in line with the GOP talking points of the day. Not to mention that when he does criticize them, it's usually for the wrong reasons, i.e. saying that the "legitimate rape" and "life is a gift no matter what" comments were chasing off swing voters.

Pope Guilty posted:Didn't some Republican try to float a trial balloon about referring to Iraq and Afghanistan as "Obama's wars" or something? I think that was Michael Steele when he was chair of the RNC, he called Afghanistan "a war of Obama's choosing". It might not be a coincidence that he lost the position shortly after that comment.

Calling out politicians for lying is kind of what news media are supposed to do. And yes, I know it's NPR, who are notoriously afraid of stepping on Republican toes for fear of losing funding.

Twelve by Pies posted:Genuinely didn't know that, especially because when someone would mention Trump never drinking, someone would post that pic in response. I am completely dumbfounded by the specific hate that deplorables have for CNN. Don't they employ multiple Trump surrogates, including his former campaign manager who is still drawing a paycheck from said campaign?

Someone used the "Trump is just following Obama's framework" thing on me, and aside from some brief restrictions on Iraq that have been discussed here, I can't find what RWM outlet is pushing this. Is there even a kernel of truth to this?

Donald Trump essentially called for Hillary to be assassinated with that line about "second amendment people" at one of his rallies. I don't think Snoop's video is comparable to that incident.

Smol posted:Is calling undocumented immigrants "invaders" commonplace in RWM circles? That caught my eye in the Superman article. "Immigration without assimilation is invasion" is a common refrain on the far right; basically, they're terrified of the possibility that new immigrants will do to them what Europeans did to the pre-Colombian people of the Americas (which was totally fine because reasons). Look at how often the "disease carrying migrants" trope comes up in their rhetoric.
