I am curious RobGMN... what does the public pay CNN to do?

It's nice that illegal immigrants and ICE protestors are using apps to coordinate when and where ICE may be so that they can commit crimes and break the law all while protesting ICE. Does the left still not see a problem with illegal immigrants?

They seem to hate Evil Orange King more than average Republicans. It's hard to say; today's liberals are so disconnected from reality.

"Among Republicans who claimed they trust Fox News more than any other outlet, 82% said they believed the election was stolen."

Fact check: Trump says 82% of Americans think 2020 election was 'rigged'

At a Greensboro, North Carolina, rally, former President Donald Trump, referring to 2020, said "82% of the country understands that it was a rigged election. Poll results and polling experts say the claim is way off base.

Those right-wingers have quite the strong connection with reality, huh?

CNN has gone super TDS. It's weird because a few years ago, they were trying to move to the middle and took some steps to that end. Now they're hosting a "Track ICE Agents" app and releasing tapes of Trump discussing bombing Russia & China. I guess they've decided to get left of MSNBC, so they're using these extreme measures. Yeah Team Blue.

Yes, that is insane. The left has no monopoly on crazy. However, currently the left certainly seems more deranged, which is why intellectually engaged liberals like Ana Kasparian, Joe Rogan, Bill Maher, John Fetterman, etc distance themselves from the base.

You think Rogan is an intellectually engaged individual? lol

Hell, I think post secondary education & Healthcare should be socialized. However, I'm sure as fawk not going to vote/push for those measures knowing the rank & file dems (including judges) think auditing the gov't is illegal, will fight tooth & nail to prevent any spending cut outside of LE & defense spending and will fight for every single gov't job.

It's interesting that all of the left wing arguments against the stuff you mention were because things were being done illegally.
What is it about the right wing (Trump Admin in particular) that you think they should be able to do whatever they want, with no regard for the laws that say otherwise?

Nope, never heard of Don Henley, Glenn Frey, The Eagles, music in general. I haven't played guitar for literally 30 years. Never covered any Eagles songs or any music at all.

The majority of the media is left leaning. You admit the media is infotainment so it has to be all bullshit. Their #1 talking point is Orange Man Bad, and you chant it like it's your credo.

OK. The majority of the media is left-leaning. And?
Do you think it should be state-owned, or there should be a law that forces the owners to lean right more, so it will be "fair"?
What is preventing right-leaning people from owning media outlets?

So how does it make you money to repeat what their views are?

How does it make you money to defend Trump?
(hint: It's a question that points out the absurdity of your question; I'm not expecting an answer)

You mean the majority of the world gobbles it up.

And?

To get ratings, just like any other outlet.

They still have a better grasp on reality than the left, who still can't define "what is a woman" and insisted Where Do I Go Joe was not suffering a severe mental decline.

Fox seems to be even more TSS than CNN is TDS, huh?

I would like them to be moral and unbiased like the news should be. I don't need media trying to make my mind up for me.

It's not just the right.

Probably by an electronic transfer from bank account to bank account, but I guess it could be by credit card or even paper check.

The measure of intelligence isn't "do they always agree with Always Right Rob.

Here we go again, when have I ever said Trump should be able do whatever they want with no regard for the law? Hint - the answer is never.

So you want infotainment sources to mould what they do to meet your desires, and not to make the most money they can?
Do you consider that realistic?

OK?
