You can discuss bias about every other news station.

Curious, why didn't you mention Fox? You were correct about the rest of them, but would have been even more correct had you been more thorough.

Has anyone heard that with the person that shot the 2 people that I guess some are saying that the first person he shot threw a molativ cocktail at him and their is video? If this is true and with the crowd chasing after him and the 2nd person swinging a skateboard aft him the guy could have a solid self defense case to get off and if that happens that could trigger another round of riots.

I am ALL for opening up, including indoor events - give me testing so we can notify people who test positive so they stay away from the population for the needed time - anything can open.

We both way the economy open (you and I agree on a lot of things BTW) but the way we do it, differs

Hey, if the quick 15 minute test comes to fruition, maybe we get there. I'm just still flabbergasted that, for the first time ever, we have done the things we did because people get sick. I understood the hospital deal, now? Not so much.

Now, getting COVID is breaking news. "24 year old, healthy NBA athlete gets COVID!"

It’s all the same hand.

It just only takes one news network for bad republicans and 55 networks and the rest of Hollywood for every diverse member of the New Democratic citizen recruitment party.

It is not true and it was a plastic bag full of garbage.

You really think Fox hard news is propaganda? I’m not taking Carlson, The Five, etc.

That stuffs not news at all. But their news coverage, while definitely right leaning, is not propaganda. It is however the lone counterbalance to left of center news coverage by ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS.

What will it take for the media to stop using "peaceful protests" and actually call what's going on riots?

Didn’t you just say “ I couldn’t agree with you more ” In regards to me suggesting if you don’t like people who do things like repent you ain’t gonna like the Torah ?

I mean do you know what the Torah is ?

You could say you didn’t and that you thought it was the Koran, that wouldn’t be insulting to people of either faith.

I mis-read the word and for some reason saw Koran - my apologies.

Yes, I do know what the Torah is - I am not anti-semetic

I can admit a mistake - we need more folks here that can do that instead of double/triple down on drivel

I liked when Velshi on MSNBC was talking about the peaceful protests under this backdrop as well. These guys are hilarious ... makes me smile.

One of the dumbest terms... “mostly peaceful protest.” While not factually inaccurate, Ted Bundy was a “mostly peaceful individual.” Except for those times when he was murdering people.

These are clearly the owners of news corps laughing at their base via their own news stories.

Just a huge Diss to anyone with half a brain. I mean, they must honestly truly feel they can report anything anytime and idiots will gargle it out. Both news “sides”guilty, it’s just from the left so there’s more of them, and they are terrible.

Left picture - guy shot in the head. That picture is him yelling "shoot me n***a"
Right picture - Sex crime involving a minor - per Andy Ngo who does solid reporting


Gotta be honest, not gonna shed a tear for this guy.

By that same logic, the news should have also claimed "mostly peaceful police officers shoot black man".

[thenwhatjk]

So weird to me to watch the “he should have just followed the rules” crowd martyr a kid who cannot own a gun going across state lines to defend property that isn’t his

I understand that point and kind of thought that too. I also think about my situation where I'm in a rural community and I still consider a town 20 miles away somewhat my area. So part of me says yeah, he should have never been there and part of me says that's part of my community and this crap needs to stop. I don't think I'd be crossing state lines though and I'd have to think really hard about taking a gun I couldn't legally own.

don't lump everyone into that group. I am certainly a follow the rules guy, but there is no place for vigilantism. Vigilantism will only make the hatred and divide grow, not bring people together.

As I said yesterday; he got what he wanted. And it will change his life forever.

Terribly stupid. Even if he had the best imaginable intentions possible; bringing a rifle across state lines to sit in the middle of a riot is an incredibly dumb decision. But I bet it was a rush for him that he had never experienced before ...

Very very sad all around.
