Paul Pelosi's DUI

[ghuns]

...Reputable news sources provide the best facts available at the time with a minimum of bias. If that makes it seem like they're "actively trying to help Harris get elected" then it is what it is.

In your estimation, is CBS and 60 Minutes a reputable news source?

[CNCAppsJames]

I'm not raging, just pointing out the obvious double standard AGAIN, to those who are either blind or willfully ignorant of it. 

You're trying to reason with someone who thinks The US Constitution is a "fringe document". There is no reasoning with that.

[Jim at Gentex]

Apparently it's only ok if you ask questions that lead to a specific outcome?

As far as how the case works out, hasn't he already been convicted, spent time in jail, paid a fine, got put on probation, etc?  That Jesse Waters video was from two years ago.

Yes, that's true.
I forgot the case was already settled.
He got sentenced to 5 days in jail and 3 years probation.

He only actually served 2 days in jail, and received a fine of $4927.00, according to NPR.

After the Watters piece though, Judge Joseph Solga was the one who heard the case, not Judge Langhorne.
All in all though, Pelosi still got a slap on the wrist, comparatively speaking.

I don't watch them but I did see the Presidential debate.

Analysis / Bias

CBS News is considered a mainstream USA media source that reports news with a left-leaning bias in story selection. In other words, they are more likely to report on a story that is favorable to the left or more critical of the right. However, they always source their information correctly and cover both sides of stories. The wording of headlines utilizes minimal loaded words such as this: Trump denies advance knowledge of son's meeting with Russian lawyer.

They must have changed since Dan Rather left.

Yea, I'm not sure?  I'd like to see the police report and have more information on the guy who was injured. Otherwise, his sentence looks pretty standard? 

"Napa County DUI Sentencing Standard

2 days in jail for a first-time offender
Informal probation period of 3 to 5 years

If that is indeed the case, I stand corrected.

Kill the messenger?

I was just pointing out that Fox "news" is a part of the MSM and they ARE covering it. Just to appeal to the partisan "Jeffs" out there.

Nobody was hurt in the posts in this thread.

And for the record, if you don't think people with friends in high places, regardless of political affiliation, get preferential treatment in this country I've got a nice bridge you might be interested in.

WuT?
Hang on brown eyes. Go do your best and try and find a mirror to look into.
You're the one ALWAYS spouting the same shit saying "blah blah blah put them in front of a judge and they'll be found guilty if there's a case for a trial otherwise STFU blah blah blah".

Yet here you are, making excuses for the two-tier club?
Oh, and why the fook defend it - you're not in THE club.

Well, not THAT one anyway....

They edited Harris's famous word salad answers to a question to make her sound better.

Would they do that for Trump?

Would you consider an organization that does that to have high credibilty?

He's incapable of independent thought, he has to go to a "fact check" website and have them tell him if they are credible or not.

Notice how fact checking wasn't a thing until the truth started coming out?

The media have gone on a Kamala Harris binge since the vice president moved swiftly to replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party's 2024 candidate of choice, giving her the most positive coverage in modern history.

At the same time, and nearly as expected, the same media have gone on a scorched-earth campaign against former President Donald Trump, giving the Republican nominee what is likely to be a historic level of negative coverage.

That assessment comes from the latest review of network news from the conservative watchdog, the Media Research Center, which found that 84% of the coverage of Harris has been positive, while 89% of Trump's has been negative on CBS, NBC, and ABC.

It's not like the media would run with a fake Russian collusion story or help deny the ownership of a laptop or something. 🙄

You are a dumb mfer.

Beej pointed that out earlier. I expect they wouldn't do that for Trump.

Knowing that I would personally not consider them to have high credibility, especially in the editorial department. So even though I don't watch their stuff (other than the Presidential debate) I'm even less inclined to now.

The only part of 60 minutes I see is when it comes on with the ticking clock right after the afternoon football game.

I'm not defending CBS. If they edited the tape that's not right.

Fact checking wasn't a necessary part of the public vernacular until DJT, and his never ending string of lies and half-truths, gained popularity. Even then, fact checking could have been avoided if it weren't for the millions of gullible, foggy-minded minions who somehow lost the ability to distinguish fact from fantasy.

Donald Trump lies (ewww, Wiki)
