Correct. No one cares except butthurt righties who haven’t gotten over 2020.

Trump did not lose because of some laptop
Trump lost because he sucked as a President

The National Review is upset about fiction. What's next. An article saying that Martin Sheen should never have been a fictional President unless they rewrite the part to be a conservative
WTF
It's simple make believe fantasy fiction to get eyeballs
That's all

How is it any more collusion than when Fox ignores or minimizes a story as much as possible? Or newsmax. Or One America News (OAN).

“Any more”? I would not say that.

More prevalent and more effective…that is the didference when you own the big televised networks (not just cable) and the biggest newspapers.

I am all for everything being investigated completely and in an unbiased way…Trump, Biden, Clinton, 1/6 (with a proper committee), the Guy who screwed the spy, etc.

Lefties don’t seem to want the same thing even when they say it.

What's on the laptop???????????
Porn?
ROTFL
Yup. Conservatives upset that porn did not defeat Biden
So the porn is real. So what lol

I supported the Benghazi investigation just as I support Jan 6 investigation

What's on the laptop or is the only bombshell is that's its real. Hunter doesn't work for Daddy or the govt. Seems pretty meaningless to me. You want to investigate, go ahead. I ain't against any investigation

Odd as it may seem, you don't have freedom of the press by telling them what to cover.

However, I've come out for the "Fairness Doctrine" but conservatives seem to be against it. Maybe you aren't?

Quote:

The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints.

Forcing fairness is not freedom, you see. In fact, Democrats found that we could weaponize fairness because we could force rightwing radio to stop broadcasting one sided views.

It's not us who are afraid of losing the arguments that are heard by all.

Quote:

The use of the fairness doctrine by the National Council for Civil Responsibility (NCCR) was to force right-wing radio stations to air rebuttals against the opinions expressed on their radio stations.[26] These "political opponents" included far-right radio broadcasting groups like the Red Lion. The Red Lion stations have been known to host far-right militia groups & individuals such as Paster Pete Peters, who associated with the white supremacist & anti-Semitic Christian Identity Church & believed Jewish people were descendants of Satan.[2

Quote:

The fairness doctrine has been strongly opposed by prominent conservatives and libertarians who view it as an attack on First Amendment rights and property rights. Editorials in The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Times in 2005 and 2008 said that Democratic attempts to bring back the fairness doctrine have been made largely in response to conservative talk radio.[66][6

Conservatives don't want fairness on their dime.

When Trump came into power he was yelling about "Crooked Hillary" and seemed hell-bent on exposing claimed irregularities.

Oops...nothing there.

This is just more marshmallows for the Trumpies to add to their conspiratorial s'mores as they hunch around the campfire, dreaming of a world that never changes and allows them to cling to power.

I would consider it more false advertising than worrying about a fairness doctrine.

“Fair and Balanced” isn’t.

Neither is “Democracy Dies in Darkness”…nice slogan; but they help bring darkness.

I’d rather see journalists holding all accountable and pundits doing what pundits do.

Not that I expect it to happen; it is part of what will be the downfall of the country if no one is willing to hold anyone in power accountable.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely; if you think your side is right all the time and has all clean politicians and intentions, you are delusional.

Not that I expect any of it to change…

Double post.

…and she spent equal time saying she was cheated.

Yawn.

We will see when and if indictments come what happens.

How the delivery of news has changed.

In the sixties guys just "read the news" without a lot of personal opinion and editorializing.

Now many of them are media personalities and people listen to their opinions about the issues of the day instead of sifting through objective news reports and then forming their own opinions.

Not good.
