Who should be the next president?

Topic: Media Bias in election coverage.

Interesting side by side comparison of two stories on MSNBC:



Moral of the story so far: Take everything you read/hear from a MSM source on EITHER candidate with a whopping grain of salt...then forget what you read/heard as the lie or manipulation that it was.

A truly fascinating read:  "The Case Against the Media, by the Media"

Lots of insightful introspection there.

Thank-you, Donald Trump.  You have broken the ability of the corrupt media in the United States' ability to manipulate the election for President.  No one trusts them, and they keep stepping on their own d1ck anyway.  It is just glorious to watch this particular bit of history in the making.

Well done, sir.  Keep up the good work.

That's not surprising...


I heard that Hillary is looking so bad on the polls that they are fixing the numbers (thought that's not surprising either) And Hillary had to cancel her bus tour (Oh you didn't know she had a bus tour - well don't feel bad - nobody else knew).

I think Trump is doing a good job and everybody else (that supposed to be republican/Conservative - stop it with the panic button! It's f'n annoying! It's so annoying that I don't want to listen to you - I'm speaking to you Mark Levin! I've already have personal Glenn Beck Boycott and I really don't want to add Mark Levin to my list - but I will if he's keeps talking down.)

I live in Virginia, And I'm already sick of the drooling Tim Kaine Worship by the local press!
The guy's first act as Governor was to break his Campaign promise not to raise taxes! The very first thing!
In a one term state, they make it easy to forget.
As a senator, I know nothing about him because he wasn't from my district. I think most Virginians don't.

Do you think Breitbart is different from other media for some reason?  You've linked them a few times now.  They're blatantly biased in favor of Trump and alt right stuff.  I guess they don't even attempt to be impartial, so that's different?  I wouldn't normally say anything, but you're repeatedly denouncing media coverage, so it's hard not to comment on it.

As an aside, it'll be a while a while before the convention bumps wear off and we have a really clear picture, but looks like Hillary is essentially close to to tied or a bit above Trump in polls overall now.  Unsurprising. I also notice people who were crowing over polls showing Trump in the lead post RNC now imply the new ones are rigged or selective in some way.  Reminds me of Trump talking about a rigged presidential election. Or going back, Gore/Bush and that fallout. Either you're winning or the other side is cheating.

I don't see Breitbart emails conspiring with the Democrats to take out Sanders on Wikileaks...

Hillary is Obama 2 (so what is Obama?)

[indianasmith]

Perhaps the worst foreign policy president of the last 100 years?
But Trump's overweening ignorance of the world promises to make Obama look as skilled in foreign policy as Nixon!

You have to understand, in this election, I hate them both with equal fervor.  I foresee no good outcome for my country in this.

Out of curiosity, what would you have thought of Sanders as president?

[lester1/2jr]

Hillary is hardly Obama 2. She's much more hawkish.

" The Libya intervention was later described by Obama as the worst mistake of his Administration. Obama asserted that he had been reluctant to intervene but that intervention had been championed by Clinton and Susan Rice.[309] "

an absolute disaster for the people of Libya and for the world as it's become a base for ISIS.

Perhaps the worst foreign policy president of the last 100 years?

right behind Wilson, FDR, LBJ, W, ....

I've been hearing that wikileaks has a stack of emails on Hillary/Obama trafficking arms in Libya, and the Benghazi Ambassador was behind the deal.

I really, really thought that Michael Savage was smoking too many banana peels because he believed that ISIS was created by Obama. And if the wikileaks rumor was true - Oh My God! Savage was F'n right!

But I know the FBI will look into this and come out with the same verdict that nothing can be proven because they cannot figure out the intent (or some other bs spin)

As for hawkish... I'm not sure, it seemed that Obama used Hillary to be the fall-guy (or -gal) and she's not living in the real world or she really, really think her s**t don't stink.

The only thing that Obama makes Nixon look is -  honest.


Sorry but you fail to tell me how Hillary can be that bad without connecting the dots to Obama.


Lets face the fact... if you actually connected any dots that shows how bad Obama is then you'll be forced to admit that Hillary is the worst of the 2 options.

[indianasmith]

Skull, I get the fact that you like Trump.  I DON'T.

HE IS A BAD MAN in my opinion, and you can sing his praises all day long and my opinion won't change.
Hillary stinks too.  I will vote for neither of them.

Lester - I get that you think America should practice total isolationism and never intervene anywhere for any reason.
I respectfully disagree.  But if we do step in, we should step in to win.  Period.  Obama hates the idea of America winning.
One more reason I detest him too.

Now, you guys may continue.  I just wanted to register my opinion that all the major candidates in this race SUCK.

I'm strongly leaning towards writing in Bernie Sanders for President. I hate Trump's politics and as a person he disgusts me. I'm having issues with Clinton too, albeit not as many as with Trump.
