News media isn’t essential. Honest/unbiased news media is essential. There is a difference.

i think bias in the media is natural and unavoidable. The media trying to pretend that they don’t have a bias is the problem. Just own up to it. Most US cities used to have a conservative paper and a liberal paper. You read both and drew your own conclusions. And it worked

Here is why I don't think the right-wing outrage over Hitler comparisons is genuine :

www.theguardian.com

JD Vance once worried Trump was ‘America’s Hitler’. Now his own authoritarian leanings come into view

Vice-presidential pick has said he would have blocked certification of 2020 results in key states won by Biden
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

^^^^ The right-wing has been too quiet over this, and too forgiving of it. ^^^^

This righteous indignation is phony as hell.

There's no "outrage", it's humorous to this right wing guy. I'm still interested in knowing how Harris and others are going to peacefully allow a fascist threat to our democracy assume office without looking like complete fools.

On garbage…
It was an unforced error for the Trump rally to have the comedian make that joke. However, as it regards the island of Puerto Rico, it has been known to have significant recycling and rubbish issues.

About Biden’s comment, it once again highlights how democrats and media get to mind read and editorialize comments. Prominent figure says something, and we’re told what she/he really meant wasn’t what they actually said. Usually results in a favorable interpretation for one side and an unfavorable one for the other.

I've been to PR a few times, there's a lot of garbage lying around. If you ever go to Old San Juan the day before trash day it's piled up all over the street. Stinks to high heaven.

That's why it was critical to the success of trumpism to convince people that the media was biased and dishonest.

Because trumpism could never thrive in a well informed society.

Are you saying people have to be convince of that?

I'm so confused. Nobody has to be convinced of that. The only person that would have to convince of that is the mental ill person like yourself that wears a face diaper. Of course, trying to convince the mentality ill that they are ill is a tough job all by itself.

Of course, you'll believe all kinds of stuff. Global sea levels are rising so great the people in the Louisiana probably won't be able to get out in the next million years.

We're getting support, supplies, boats and equipment together now. With a bit of luck... we'll save a few.

No you just imply stuff and say that NASA said it. Guys, "climate change"... its huge. Just shut up and go put your mask back on.

Don't worry you're not alone... .Luther is a double diaper wearer. Claims the high road when he voted for 3 people who admitted to murdering an American kid.

You guys got it all figured out.

That's not a difference. He had a stadium full of people laughing along with calling Americans garbage, immediately crying like a baby when it's flipped back at you is weak as hell

You didn't say it, you avoided the real discussion. If the sea water rises, the **** on the coast gets flooded.... its not complex.

Yes, you would believe almost anything... which is why you wore that mask with pride.

Not sure I understand your question.

Not debating how necessary it is.

asking if you think it belongs as one of the "estates" that controls the masses? Do you agree it is the "fourth estate for controlling the masses" or do you believe "news media is not something that is controlling the masses"? where on that spectrum do you put it?
