Exactly. As i've said a few times now. The media continuing their implicit bias is Trumps re-election right there



Thats entirely CNN's own fault for allowing their implicit bias to go waaayyy out of control, and make it very easy to be treathed as such by publishing unveryfied reports, actual petty lies, and a substantional difference in threatment of Obama compared to Trump

Give me one example of an actual lie about Trump that was published by CNN as fact.

You can't, because you're just speaking bullshit. Alt-right snowflake.

Petty lies

Saying Sinatra's daughter didnt like it that during the inauguration of Trump 'my way' saw played.
She responded to them that she never said that and asked why they lied about it

You need to come up with better examples than Singapore and 6 years Latvia pre-WW2

Every rule has an exception.

You need to stop saying "this never works" if there are exceptions

Its not. I told you why CNN got that reputation. Bannon made Trump capitalise on it.

Its CNN's own fault they went so far in their implicit politican bias. Why do you think they are beeing singled out so much over the other democratic MSM ?

It was bad reporting, but certainly not a lie. She did tweet that (Remember the first line of the song - which is "and now, the end is near"). And then she deleted it after the CNN article. CNN interpreted it stupidly, instead of as the joke it was, and she called them out on it... but they certainly didn't make up the tweet.

Sinatra herself lied by saying she didn't say that.

I don't agree with you that he will get impeached... at least not very quickly. At the same time as the political climate doesn't allow this two-bit con man to become a real dictator, it does allow for a two-bit con man to get through four years without much trouble, especially with the absurd partisanship, the two sides so irrationally entrenched as @Osman put it.

I guess we will see.

Serious?

It's the only time period where I can see that a long extended authoritarian rule had somewhat of a positive impact. And that's still with allowing for huge corruption on part of several emperors / politicians of course.

The problem in the US is that even trying to report things objectively will make you look like you're biased. Some of the shit Republicans say is batshit crazy. A lot of what Trump is saying is crazy. Even just filming Trump would make you look like you're trying to gun him down, because you're making him look crazy by recording him on tape.

I cannot wait for creationism/intelligent design to be taught in the American school system.

Is it objective if you publish an article that first was given to democrats mid election but they didnt use it cause likely fake and couldnt verify ?

Journalist charter : check sources and publish what is veryfied. CNN really brought this onto themselves



There is bias in both side when they do a duel live interview on who's side they support and whether they are interrupted or not. Fine. Democratic MSM does it, Fox does it.

CNN goes beyond it

Scary stuff to think that Intelligent Design may soon be given as much credence as Evolution in American schools.

At a confirmation hearing earlier this month, Betsy DeVos, President Trump’s pick for education secretary, responded to a question about whether she would promote “junk science” by saying she supports science teaching that “allows students to exercise critical thinking.”


This seemingly innocuous statement has raised alarms among science education advocates, and buoyed the hopes of conservative Christian groups that, if confirmed, DeVos may use her bully pulpit atop the U.S. Department of Education to undermine the teaching of evolution in public schools.

DeVos and her family have poured millions of dollars into groups that champion intelligent design, the doctrine that the complexity of biological life can best be explained by the existence of a creator rather than by Darwinian evolution. Within this movement, “critical thinking” has become a code phrase to justify teaching of intelligent design.

That's not really about bias though. That's about not doing your job.

if I understand this correctly, at moment evolution is taught in American schools as the absolute truth and people are upset that after this change children might be presented with several theories? what's wrong with that? most of the population is Christian or close to it which means that sooner or later the children anyways will read the Bible version

Except that's not what happened at all. CNN didn't publish the document. Buzzfeed did. CNN reported that a two page synopsis about the document was given to then president-elect and the Obama administration by the intelligence officials.

The problem is that only the theory of evolution is based in science. As our understanding about evolution itself constantly evolves, I have no problem with being critical. But presenting alternative theories that have no basis in reality whatsoever and are purely figments of imagination as equally valid is problematic. If people think intelligent design is just as good a theory as the theory of evolution, it is likely that people will dismiss science in other fields of their life too.

Of course it can. But if you're teaching intelligent design, you're saying that science and facts don't matter. And that's exactly the sort of thing Trump has been doing all along. Facts don't matter. Lies don't matter. All that matters is feels.

Which is why I'm completely dumbfounded that you of all people are okay with Trump.

Well, was the document given? Because if it was and CNN reported it was, that just seems.. true?

Intelligent design is not a theory,it's pseudoscience that has no basis in reality.It's not even a sound hypothesis because it's not falsifiable.
It's really shocking that intelligent design is still a thing in a first wold country like the U.S.

I don't want to make this into pro and against evolution argument so I'll keep it short
1) in my opinion, evolution is not a hard proved fact and a Creator is not proved non-existent
2) if presented the right way, several theories are better than one theory. as I said, most of the American kids will encounter Bible either way, this way they'd be more educated about that

 

[GordoDeCentral]

The modern era is not conducive to being a Hitler-type in a country like America... He's president of the country, a democracy (however ineffectual at times) no less, that is the leader of the free world. And America is not in the disastrous situation Germany was in post-World War II. He's a scary fellow, but there are enough checks in place that the man cannot and will never be a leader of that sort.

However, if the political and cultural climate allowed for it today, I have no doubt in my mind that Trump, Bannon, and co would be exactly like the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei...

They said the same thing about Hitler when they got him to power, and then the night of the long knives, also Bannons economic plan is very similar to adolfs

Intelligent design is not a sound theory though. It makes no sense. It has no scientifical basis. Presenting it as if it does is dangerous in itself.

I don't get why people think Trump is so much more harmless. He's using a lot of the same rhetoric, has the same ideas about politics and even has similar physical oddities.
