Seen it dozens of times from Hotshot Libs who come in on fire to mixed political forums and then get their asses handed to them. You’re not special.
They don't pick Shapiro and the guy who is on the ticket has a bunch of Jew hating friends.
If only MSM would run with this like fine people on both sides…

So typical of the libs on here. But I get it. If what you stupidly believe in cannot be defended and your feelings get hurt easily, by all means retreat and go hang out with only like minded followers. Its the reason rats have divorced their friends and family.
I know several friends whose blue-ribbon babies stopped talking to them because of their politics and not liking being told they are wrong. One acquaintances daughter even told him that she couldn't stand to be around her family anymore and wouldn't be attending any family gatherings for the rest of her life. That lasted a month. She needed money down for an apartment you see, and her marine biology degree has netted her about $24K a year. Daddy and mommy did what they have always done with their little spoiled liberal angel, they paid her entire first and last months rent and deposit. I guess they figured they could be treated like shit by the shithole they raised whether they coughed up another $4500 or not. Brilliant thinking right?
The degree cost $160K. Good luck with that.
Liberals are such POS human beings.
Fox news is lefty loon owned.
Same as it ever was. No debate on policy and facts. Used to be "Rush Limbaugh". Now it's "Fox News". Regardless if their track record is immeasurably better than CNN, MSLSD, CBS, NBC, ABC, NY Times, Washington Post etc.
The only msm news source that didn't falsely report Russian Collusion and hookers pissing on Trump. Also the only source that called BO's healthcare plan what it was which was completely dishonest and corrupt. Tells the truth when it comes to a chitty economy. The only source that doesn't collude with all the others when demonizing Trump or Vance and ignoring bidens corruption. Chinese flu coming from a lab, etc, etc.
I could go on and on but everyone already see's how corrupt and dishonest the rest of the msm is and how stupid people like mello are to believe them even though there is are thousands of examples of how they have abandoned their responsibility as journalists and played for one side.

I'm don't agree that a lying and stupid leftard media hurts the dems. It got a dementia patient elected. I do agree that leftards are at best complacent, intellectually lazy and uninformed. You see it here on the Tug everyday.https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/08/the-democrats-worst-frenemy-the-media.php
The Democrats’ Worst Frenemy: The Media?
Here’s a heterodox thought: the slanted news media is unwittingly the Democrats’ worst frenemy.
The line of reasoning to arrive at this proposition begins thus: Last month Prof. Lauren Wright of Princeton University attracted notice for a provocative article in The Atlantic on “How Liberal College Campuses Benefit Conservative Students.” Wright’s thesis was simple: because conservative students are constantly challenged at our overwhelmingly left-leaning campuses, they work harder to learn how to defend their views, usually become better informed about a full spectrum of perspectives on issues, and develop a thicker skin.
By contrast, Wright observes, liberal students tend to be complacent, intellectually lazy, and uninformed about other points of view, precisely because liberal campuses don’t challenge liberal students to think critically about their own opinions. Wright recounts in her article how much better informed and versatile conservative Princeton students are compared to liberal Princeton students. This paradoxical fact about how conservative students thrive on left-leaning campuses is well-known to conservatives, though hardly anyone else apparently.
But it likely applies to the mainstream news media as well. After all, elite media outlets like the New York Times are dominated by liberal graduates of liberal ivy league colleges. Journalists bring the ideological laziness and narrowness of the campus bubble to newsrooms, producing a highly conformist narrative that distorts reality.
That mainstream media “reporting” favors Democrats and liberal points of view is beyond dispute by this point. What no one is asking is whether this pro-Democrat bias actually hurts Democrats and liberal causes, in the same way that one-sided curricula in colleges hurts the education of liberal students.
The exit of Joe Biden from the presidential race following the vivid and undeniable display of his age-related disability in the June 27 debate ought to be an example taught in journalism schools in the decades to come, but surely won’t be. Prior to the June 27 debate, any mainstream media outlet that dared to raise questions about Biden’s age and obvious mental decline were shouted down by other “respectable” mainstream media.
When the Wall Street Journal published a deeply-reported story in early June about how Biden was mentally “slipping,” the paper was greeted with ferocious denunciation by other media.
The mainstream media allowed itself to be used as a transmission belt for White House talking points that videos of Biden’s faltering physical and mental capacities were “cheap fakes.” Reporting in conservative media were subjected to endless “fact checks” that all found claims of Biden’s disability were false or “misleading.” Both the New York Times and Washington Post used “misleading” in headlines debunking the mounting visual evidence.
Hiding Biden’s decline is not the only example of the lockstep media enforcement of the Democratic Party line. Back in 2022 NBC News correspondent Dasha Burns was roundly attacked for reporting that Pennsylvania Senate Candidate John Fetterman, whose health status following a severe stroke was being ignored by the media, had trouble carrying on a basic conversation.
As if borrowing from the Ring Lardner novel The Young Immigrunts, the media as one said to Burns: “Shut up, they explained.”
The point is: the extended White House coverup of Biden’s deterioration, evident as early as 2021 if not sooner, was only possible because a compliant liberal media went along with the coverup. Leading Democrats on Capitol Hill were aware of Biden’s problem, but couldn’t say very much so long as the media covered for Biden.
How has this worked out for Democrats? Once Biden’s deterioration became too obvious to ignore any longer after the June 27 debate, the media turned on him instantly. If the media had done its job properly and reported on Biden’s slippage a year ago, the party might have been able to convince Biden to stand down, or encouraged a serious challenge from several prominent Democratic office holders, enabling Democrats to have a regular nomination process to pick a strong candidate with time to develop a coherent campaign.
Instead, Democrats are now in crisis mode, likely having to settle for Kamala Harris as their candidate, even though she never won a single primary vote in the 2020 election cycle and has even lower approval ratings that Biden.
That is, she had lower approval ratings than Biden, until the media reverted to form and decided to give maximum effort to boost Harris. The media is performing another massive coverup of Harris’s far-left record, air brushing her record and credulously passing along her new positions, such as that she was never the “border czar.”

Imagine thinking this in 2024.
Timmy is on record saying the holocaust shouldn't be taught. Bidenbros cheer.

Right, I forgot Fox is now too liberal. I look forward to Gateway Pundit being labeled that too, if it exists in 2025.

Great, thanks for the exposition.
Diversity is our strength. Except if you are Jewish. Then all bets are off.
You really are a boomer aren't you?
Fox News is a neocon endeavor. They're about as relevant as Jeb Bush to current politics. The dazzler weeps.
anything right of MotherJones or PoliticusUSA is “FAR RIGHT ULTRAMAGA” to you.
FNC isn’t nearly as far right as MSNBC is left.
everyone in the media was in March/April/May 2020
If you still were there in September of that year you were a fool
If you still were there in November you were a bad actor
