Everything is proceeding exactly as I have foreseen.

Hey Funky, is Trump's hilarious POTUS Photoshopped portrait up yet on your side of the street?

Nope  :lol:

I don't trust the media, but while I do think that much of the media is biased (often unconsciously), I think the real problem with them is incompetence, not bias.

Why?

Because it's pretty clear that people who work in the national media, as a whole, are more heavily liberal and lean more heavily toward the Democratic party than the public at large.  I think most of them try to be professional and unbiased, but they're human;  some of their bias is going to creep in, even if they aren't aware of it.

As for the incompetence, look at how many stories posted here have sparked some degree of outrage, but the outrage has subsided once we got more information and realized that many things in the story were incorrect, or that important details had been left out.

That's not incompetence, that's profit making business decisions. All media is biased, all humans are. It is not that you don't trust them, it is that you disagree with them.

It is so idiotic.  Ar least the Veep got his done.  Trump's is just a press shot from The Apprentice with the WH photoshopped behind it.  It looks as bad as his shit on Twitter.

No that's incompetence. Bias is expected, and inevitable, but honest efforts need to be made to be objective.

Besides when they do that shit it makes me look like an idiot and I don't need their help.

You probably shouldn't form your world view based on what happens on Languish.

But they do it on purpose. Can incompetence be done on purpose?

Betsy DeVos seems to be able to get it done.

Ah well then it is neither a bias or incompetence. It is malicious.

Yes, good word. They are malicious and bias (because that's a different thing).

We've got to display Trump and Zinke.  Zinke is, of course, rocking a firearm.  Because the DOI is all about shooting things. :rolleyes:

Watching her is like watching a dump truck fresh out of the body shop.  Sure it's got a brand new paint job, but it's still a goddamned dump truck.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
