Canada looking to offer euthanasia to Children

[BrianP.]

What I'm saying is all I read are far left web sites and they tell me what and how to think and it echos around in my head till I'm all enraged and shit.

Pompous I'm better, smarter and morally superior left wing rage. It's makes money for a lot of people.

Free fiss. 🤪

[BrianP.]

so high levels of violent crime, border crossings, etc, that's just all in our heads? It's not really happening?

Now you're getting it. 😁

[YoDoug]

Not at all.

You're ranting about the "extremist of the left party" but what is really driving your rants is the stuff you read on right wing web sites that outrage you. You keep reading until it seems it's everywhere and a real big deal in this nation. And not just you, pretty much all far right Republicans are susceptible to it. It's big business.

As I said, wrong is wrong. I will point out wrong and immoral actions of either party. The left just seems to have the lion's share of immoral actions.

I know you won't answer this because your blind allegiance the left doesn't permit rational discussion, but I'll ask anyways. Do you feel it is acceptable for school aged children to be exposed to hypersexualized shows featuring drag queens?

Brian, my Republican friend, you try so hard.

rational discussion

Start a thread, including documentation, and if you sound like you're interested in a rational discussion rather than just going off on right wing rants perhaps I'll reply.

You too Beej.

To elaborate just a little more because you don't seem to get it, the far left isn't setting the agenda, the far right is. They write their stuff, people read the stuff, and it becomes the agenda.

The far right didn't decide that the country needs, a sexual revolution, abortion, gay marriage, trans rights, welfare, social security, govt provided health insurance. Those were all things that the left wanted and the right conceded on.

Right wing media is really good at identifying where the next battle will be fought. But right wing media is a relatively new construct, since the mid 90's. And it only developed because there was a need for a conservative voice.

Good luck and remember we are all pulling for you.

Brian, my Republican friend, you try so hard. 

Actually I don't. Comes very easy to me my liberal friend. Been a smartass my whole life.

Although in reality you are a Republican because we agreed on the added tax to anyone earning over a  million and the issuing of licences to illegals. Welcome to the club. 😁

You're right, money has nothing to do with it.

You're right, money has nothing to do with it. 

my goodness, Smit. you're replying as though there is no money in the legacy media. Yes, there is money in right wing media. that is how the market works. People see a need, the provide the need and if they can make money at it, they continue to provide the need. If they can't there was never a need in the first place. 

In the early days of Television, news rooms knew that they had a wide audience. they walked a fairly good line of providing news as a set of facts. Walter Cronkite was once considered the "Most trusted man in America." But over time, people abused that trust by realizing they had a platform that could be used to further a view point. It was subtle at first. They could just ignore a news story that made their political bias look bad and highlight ones that made their bias look good. Conservatives became suspicious of this, and people like Rush Limbaugh and Rupert Murdoch began to expose it. They both made a lot of money doing that. which made others jump in the fray. Now it has devolved into out right lies, like "mostly peaceful protests" and Russian Pee Tapes.

Today 7% of Americans say they strongly trust the media and 28% somewhat trust the media.  What is the Legacy Media's response to that? If you don't trust us, you are racist. Oh and by the way Walter Cronkite was racist. Don't believe me? listen to this debate between Matt Taibbi, Douglas Murray, Malcom Gladwell, and Michelle Goldberg. that was Malcom's argument. If you don't trust the Washington Post, you must be racist.

I think it was something to the effect of im the dumbest smart person or something

I believe we were debated the legitimacy of BLM. Being young and idealistic, your position was it was a righteous organization working for the betterment of all.
My position was they were a pack of opportunistic grifters who were setting civil rights back a generation.

Three years later, none of the required tax forms have been filed, hundreds of millions in donations have disappeared
and the founders of the organization have changed it from Black Lives Matter to Buy Large Mansions.

Misleading people isn't filling a need. Feeding rage for profit isn't filling a need. But it seems to be addictive to some folks who somehow need that.

Take the Gateway pundit for example. They just flat make shit up and rather than ignoring them the hard core righties continue to go back for more.

While what you say is true about the mansions and money and so on, I don't think it was about that...

you just used, as an example, some of the most extreme that the right wing has to offer and hold that up as an opportunity to paint all right wing publications with that brush. That is exactly what you just accused right wing media of doing to the left.
