Been saying it since the beginning. This is all about Nov for the dems

Liz Peek: Coronavirus reopening – Democrats resisting for this reason

Agreed. Their philosophy is to NEVER let a crisis go to waste without trying to advance their political agenda.

It just so happens that their agenda is the same a the MSM and that’s to do whatever they can to get Donald Trump out of office.

Borrow, beg, cheat or steal the Dems will do it to get rid of Trump!

If they don’t beat him in November and they can keep the House of Representatives they will just try to impeach him again.

The NYT finally did a short story on it (although it later changed the title after the Biden team complained), but said the reason it held off for almost 3 weeks in reporting the allegations, which was quite unlike the Time's rush to jump on the Christine Ford accusation, was because, according to the NYT, Brett Kavanaugh's name was already out in the public. Huh? Getting past the fact that makes no sense since Biden's name is also out in the public, think about what the NYT's is saying.

"We didn't want to run the story because no one else was already running it."

Say wut?

So the NYT is apparently saying that despite the fact that it is a NEWSpaper, it did not want to be the NEWS outlet to break a NEWS story involving a presidential candidate.

You can't make this stuff up anymore when it comes to the MSM.

Follow the money. Trace the ownerships of the media outlets and it always leads to the same places.

And the funny thing is, they will still lose.

It’s funny how completely polar opposite the political leanings on this site tend to be (extra conservative) compared to those of the majority of people I come across in my profession as an attorney (liberal). I fall in the middle with a slightly leftist lean. I certainly recognize certain news stations have a slant one way or the other, but I appreciate that they’re not scared to ask tough questions of the current administration. Someone has to ask those questions, and they’ve asked them of all administrations throughout our history. I’ve just never seen an administration (regardless of party) less willing to address those questions in a professional manner.

I have actually been very close to center my entire life, have voted for a Democrat for president almost as many times as a Republican (6 R vs 4 D, and 2 3rd party), but have watched the Democrat party veer sharply to the left the past decade, and at least for right now cannot see myself voting for a Democrat any time soon.

I don't mind the media asking any president tough questions (although they should be tough questions rather than the gotcha questions they throw at Trump every day). But I also expect them to ask tough questions to ALL politicians, Dem or Rep, not the softball questions they lobbed at Obama for 8 years, or the weak stuff we see asked of Dem leaders in Congress, or the Dem presidential candidates. Or even worse, when a conservative asks a tough question of a Dem leader, you immediately see (insert any MSM outlet here) saying "that is just a conspiracy theory; that story has already been debunked.") You many not like the way this administration answers the mainstream media's ridiculous questions, but there is a good reason the president's approval rating has been higher than the media's for a while now. The president is throwing their crap back at them and they are acting like petulant children. And it tells me all I need to know when that same media defends the communist leadership of the country that caused this pandemic simply because of their Trump Derangement Syndrome. But if you appreciate their crap then good for you.

Anyone that doesn't see the bias in the media has to be wearing blinders.

If anyone has any doubts, I'm a staunch conservative, 😂 but I try my best to see it from opposing perspective. This MSM has made a concerted effort to destroy Trump. I don't even like Trump. He's not a god person but he's done nothing to deserve what he's received. He's not handled it well. He trolls the media when he should be above it and just ignore them and move on. Anyone that thinks there's not a double standard in the MSM are not being honest with themselves.

The irony of it all as I see it is this same media created Trump. They gave him so much coverage to the exclusion of almost everything else. It’s Dr. Frankenstein going “why, look at this monster I’ve created!”

Nope, saw right through it. This "all or nothing" mentality when people are merely suggesting reasonable checks for the mentally insane. NOPE, not up for discussion.

"The govt may crush us. Do you agree? Yes, ergo no debating allowed".

It's not her premise, but her logic, that is wrong.

I know this administration (and the media covering it) is polarizing. I just don’t get “gotcha” out of the questions he refuses to answer. Instead. I see the same sort of questions I would be asking if I were in their seat, regardless of the person at that podium. It’s clearly a difference of opinion between us and one that exists throughout the country. I wasn’t trying to start a political argument. I was just commenting on how different the opinions on here and the opinions of those I interact with regularly are. It really highlights the dichotomy that exists in America right now

Hey, sorry, my annoyance is solely with the media, not with you.
