THis looks like you're re-writing history.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 9:14 pmActually even Fox news hated him for quite a long time. In the US everything he did was painted negatively. And things that even lefties should have liked (like his position against a kind of NAFTA with Europe) were almost never mentioned. I don't know what it was like internationally, but in the US most media were all over anything and painting it negatively. And, look, I think he offered a lot for them to be negative about. But they were not at all neutral. And they do not put the same effort into looking at Biden. I mean, look at the way Biden's son's shit was handled by the mainsream media. They are not wrong, there is a liberal (US version of that word) bias in the media. The media couldn't be bothered to look at the way Sanders was handled by Clinton and the Democratic party. They thought Clinton had a better chance, so they ignored it. And they also didn't want any big criticism of the liberal candidate and the liberal party.Sculptor wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 8:51 pmThat is not really true.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 4:58 pm For what it's worth, I think the topic of the thread is not what is being discussed. The topic of the thread has to do with seeing someone in binary terms, in this case Trump. Does the mainstream media focus only on the negative with Trump?
One could hate Trump, and I do, and at the same time acknowledge that the media went out of its way to find/paint anything he did as negative and ignored things that were positive or neutral or it was unclear. And I think that is the case.
Trump enjoyed the support of a large section of the media.
And of course this only opens the door for what they think they are fighting.
It might also be more correct to say their is a bias towards the elite. But the correct elite. Not a real estate billionaire - who has some understanding that we need production and labor - but the people directly beholden to Wall st. and the financial industry game players. Bush and Clinton and even Obama kissing their asses. And when the big players want war, you'd better produce. The one thing I liked about Trump was he was more isolationist than hawk Clinton. And trust me, they damn well know it'd be harder to block a war coming from a 'liberal' woman president than from a republican.

Sorry...you forgot to link your video, giving proof that Trump stored vital nuclear secrets in his restaurant. Let's see the files themselves.

Re: Trump Derangement Syndrome
I say I know because I saw the video. I guess you have isolated yourself from so many legitimate news outlets online and on screen that you were able to avoid what you choose to ignore. There’s no need to provide you a link to something so ubiquitous unless you’re just too lazy to look for yourself.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 12:57 amSorry...you forgot to link your video, giving proof that Trump stored vital nuclear secrets in his restaurant.

Re: Trump Derangement Syndrome
Which? Whose? You're just saying, "I saw a video."
Where's the proof? At least give me a link to the video, so I can judge for myself...you can't possibly expect people to believe you because you say, "I saw a video." That's absurd.

tillingborn, flash, and I agree with you that Biden has been accused of sexual assault. But unlike us, you have actually called Biden an actual rapist.

You have admitted that you are poorly informed:Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 3:36 pmAll of Trump's policies turn out to be much better than those of the Dems.
Nevertheless you feel qualified, on the strength of whatever youtube you have watched to make sweeping judgements like this:

No, I'm treating them exactly the same: I'm making a character judgment, based on the evidence I have before me. If there's more evidence, I'm happy to include it in my reckoning.tillingborn wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 8:41 amYou are again treating Biden and Trump differently.And I'm free to do so.

No, I have only said I do not have a tape of Trump saying what you allege.

But if you now do, I'll include it in the information I take into account. Link, please?
The economy. The oil supply. Afghanistan. The border. The COVID response. The crime rates. The fentanyl crisis. The supply chain. The war in Ukraine.

Boy, that's a whole lot of screw-ups for one administration.

I asked you for proof of your statement that Trump stored nuclear secrets in his restaurant, and you give me nothing that refers to it at all?
