It’s unlikely. Given your self-description and the inherent condescension therein, it is doubtful any of the “party-controlled zombies” here could offer any explanation that would pierce your superiority complex created by your belief you are above it all.

Correct i would never expect anything else from a mindless zombie

The double standard with how Trump and Harris are covered and/or handled in general - which overwhelmingly favors Trump despite the constant cries about the librul media - is fucking insane. Charlemagne was correct to call it out, and as I'm sure you all know, it's far from just Anderson Cooper/CNN.

He should have brought up the difference in the age question after Biden dropped out, there's nothing clearer than that. Age was a daily topic for Biden, they don't give trumps age anywhere near the coverage.

And it doesn't stop there. They seem to be so concerned about appearing impartial.
 
Not to wear it out, but where are the non-stop criticisms about Trump's age and lack of mental acuity after we were constantly waterboarded about it with Biden for the last 2+ years? Crickets. The American Media in particular has spectacularly failed this country at one of the times when it matters the most.

Conservatives, stop the whining about the librul media. It's helping your cause far more than you either seem to realize or want to admit.

I’d argue that the right built, and continues to build, a parallel media ecosystem BECAUSE of the disinformation and propaganda pushed by the legacy media. Of course, that doesn’t mean they (the right) are free from those very same type of sins themselves, but…here we are. I certainly agree with your second sentence.

You probably would argue that, but you would do so poorly and nobody would take you seriously, so it's better for you that you didn't try.

Why would he do that? Tim Cook is a Republican.

Why would Liz Cheney campaign for Kamala? Why would Kelly, Milley, Esper & Pence all denounce Trump, Yes there are the gutless Rubio’s of the party, but not all are like that. Not saying Cook is one way or the other, but you never know with this Republican Party.

Great Know Your Enemy episode w/ Rick Perlstein.

Rick has been writing a weekly column in The American Prospect called “The Infernal Triangle.” The three corners of this triangle are:

1. An increasingly authoritarian Republican Party

2. A dysfunctional legacy media intent on both sides “journalism”

3. A feckless Democratic Party

I am SO tired of hearing all this shit about the Democratic Party. Maybe you don't realize it, but you're both-siding.

Have you ever seen any of those World's Strongest Man contests? The Hercules Hold contest in particular (I've linked it below). That's the Democrats. They are trying to hold together a country where the extremes (and now in the GOP's case, the mainstream right) are trying to break it apart. Don't talk to me about feckless. The idea that Rick Perlstein could do better is absurd.



Live look at Dems.
 
I didn't subscribe to WaPo but I did cancel my Amazon Prime. I know it's a drop in the ocean to Bezos but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

I get it but to hit at the actual villain here, it seems like we would be cancelling Amazon Prime instead.

Like @StrangePackage, I also no longer have a prime membership to nix. I canceled a couple years ago when "free next day shipping" quietly and somehow became "free next day shipping - eh, mostly" and when it was reported that they were going to increase the membership price and include ads in prime video unless you agreed to pay an extra three bucks a month. Fuck 'em.

Somewhat related - I also canceled Netflix last year because of their odd methodology of canceling shows. It was right before their last price increase, so I felt even better about it.

The macroeconomy is doing fairly well, but a lot of rural communities aren't doing very well. A lot of working class folks aren't doing very well. And a lot of working class folks and folks in rural communities have essentially hit the same place that Germans in the 1930s hit.

Add in the folks who feel that the US is completely losing its way on social issues and you can start to see why so many Americans are turning to an authoritarian, fascist strongman.

I grew up in a poor rural community in Oklahoma. Many are poor but they aren’t suffering. They have food and housing security.

I am not saying that to minimize their experiences but from my understanding they are nowhere near the struggles faced by Germans during the Great Depression and during the hyperinflation.
