So, your meme on Hollywood is my take too. Just listen the any awards show and the Hollywood types on it are more often than not, virtue signaling. It has gotten to the point, that I don’t go to movies anymore. Don’t need a lecture, thank you.
On the exposé’ on the South Lawn of the White House, I was amazed. Not like “how wonderful is this” amazed, but “you have got to be kidding me” amazed. Look, gay man here and I have been around the block MANY times, so for me to be shocked is a fete itself. But THAT display was amazing. And, if I might say so, a pretty interesting “set” if you catch my drift. Just not appropriate at the White House. But hey, Hunter was probably there, so who knows. Standards change.
The bit about the Maryland politician who equated Muslims to White Supremacists. I laughed at that. Whenever people don’t agree with the Democrats, they are either members of the KKK (and which political party was REALLY associated with the KKK?), Nazis, White Supremacists, a racist, or some combo of the above descriptors. When you have nothing to say, just belt out some noun, any noun will do.....
And finally to the article on penis size. Once again, the Gay community has been ahead of the pack here. Just read any personal ads. They are measured by the “Gay penis length” standard. That is penis length measured in centimeters and stated in inches. It is funny how that goes. And for your statement on checking your sources when reading an article. That does not just go for “Penis size”. It is across the board. Sad commentary on our “news” world.
Careful with NewMax. They're more biased than most -- usually omitting info -- but they're biased towards conservatives so you notice it less. (Or enjoy it more.)
I've watched a lot of Newsmax, and you're right. Lots of bad-faith omissions. They can get away with that because their audience is so hostile to any opposing view that they'll never realize what's being left out.
Yep. But CNN's and MSNBC's refusal to air Trump's statements yesterday out of a fear of "spreading misinformation" isn't any better in my book. A pox on all their houses.
Newsmax is omitting accurate information. CNN and MSNBC are omitting false information. You can argue whether that's good journalism, but they're not being deceptive like Newsmax.
Gotta disagree. Most of these politicians are lying routinely ... neither party has a lock on that. I could tick off misleading statements by the bushel on on the left that air every night. Muting Trump but keeping Schumer is the exact same thing as the reverse.
It's not the same thing if Trump is lying and Schumer is telling the truth. Not that I'd want Schumer or ANY politician using my news outlet to spout off on something without fact-checking.
I'll admit that some of this is my perspective as a newspaper guy instead of a TV guy. I maintain strict separation between my news and opinion pages, and airing a politician's speech live without fact-checking feels like the equivalent of letting him take over the front page. My top priority as a newsman is to tell my audience the truth, so if he's proven to be a liar, I wouldn't air him live.
Even my opinion page is subject to as much fact-checking as possible. This week i got a letter to the editor that took someone's quote out of context. I proposed an edit, the author agreed, and his letter ran. Can't TV news be more like that?
