4 lunatic trump voters on Face The Nation

[liberal N proud]

These are typical trump voters

[FoxNewsSucks]

1. But they are balanced by 4 normal Biden voters, right?

[Sparkly]

2. omg

That made my hair hurt.

[live love laugh]

3. Where are the 4 nonMAGAs? What about both sides?

[Walleye]

4. I had to switch it off after a minute or two

[snowybirdie]

5. We saw

who the moderator was....clinging to his old roots

[jcgoldie]

6. Way to spend 10 minutes cbs

… gathering information from complete morons who deny basic established truths. Solid news.

Love how the moderator immediately agreed to… Democrats did it in 2000 so “2 wrongs don’t make a right.”

Mind boggling

[mucifer]

7. So looks like the goal of the media is now to brainwash

Americans.

Someone is paying them to do this.

It’s so Sickening!!

[RKP5637]

9. Most media is driven by greed, so they will take money anyway they can get it. n/t

[mucifer]

10. It's just horrifically scary.

[RKP5637]

16. Sadly, the US is for sale. Give the right people the money and they will help buy it for you!!! n/t

[CrispyQ]

21. The media is only as liberal as the conservative corporations that own it. --bumper sticker

Our media sucks, bad. DUer gab13by13 says that the mainstream media are all guilty of discussing right wing talking points & s/he illustrates it this way.

Fox reports (falsely) that Obama beats his wife.
CNN reports it's inclusive that Obama beats his wife.
MSNBC reports that Obama definitely doesn't beat his wife.

All three are discussing false right-wing talking points.

Once I saw this was true I couldn't watch MSNBC anymore. I turn my Sling subscription on for coverage of the J6 hearings & elections, but that's it.

[FalloutShelter]

8. They keep giving these traitor enabling morons a platform.

They should shun them. TURN THE CAMERAS OFF.
Trump rallies? TURN THE CAMERAS OFF.

The fascism problem in this country has been exacerbated by all of the "concern" from the MSM that they are not being fair to the morons trying to burn the country down.

Both siderism is not a thing anymore. This is what Joe announced in his speech: "Whose side are you on?"
Time for the media to pick a side. Some of them have and they are dead to me.

[calimary]

12. THIS!!!!!!!!!

WHY are these troglodytes given airtime? To “stir shit up?” They should NOT have a public platform like this. It gives them a certain measure of legitimacy when their views deserve no such treatment.

[dalton99a]

17. Repetition is key to normalization.

[modrepub]

24. Why?!?

Because people tune in to listen to it. You continue to watch it and give them oxygen then the fire will continue burning.

All the M$M is looking is eyeballs (to sell advertising). The stories that generate more traffic continue to get posted. Similar to it bleeds, it leads.

From all accounts I read, Trump filled about half the center he was speaking at last night. About the only thing that garnered any attention was his outlandish statements. The candidates who appeared with him got almost nothing as far as exposure. This was a colossal waste of time for anyone to cover. That should be the story, not the crap some 78 yo man baby had to say.

25. Thank you thank you! A bazillion times over please just don't watch. We the consumer hold all

The cards. Tank their ratings until things change. But..they may not. The money behind them isn’t looking to “turn” CNN around and make it profitable, they could care less. Their main goal is to control the narrative and spread their lies and right wing nonsense. And..make sure that NONE of the accomplishments by President Biden and the left is reported.

Please don’t help them!

11. "It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS"

- Leslie Moonves

[calimary]

14. And that attitude tells you everything you need to know.

I was totally outraged the first time I saw that quote awhile back. It still enrages me to this very hour.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. But, He Was Wrong About That

Their ratings were only positively affected, short term.
During his time in the WH, and after, the ratings for their news division programming is more or less, the same as it's been this whole century.
He spoke out his rear on that, as it wasn't really a boon to CBS, or any other broadcast network.

[Beakybird]

13. I think it's just like how Jerry Springer puts on freaks to get views.

[jcgoldie]

15. Its more sinister than that by orders of magnitude

Former Fox News WH correspondent Major Garret interviews maga granny sobbing about how innocent she is and she "doesn't want to hurt anyone"... this is their response to President Biden's speech on maga republicans resorting to threats and political violence.

[malaise]

18. The question is why do they always have the Slobfather's voters

And never the Biden voters?

[sarcasmo]

19. Democracy has lost the MSM.

[barbtries]

20. do they ever give equal time

to liberals on their show?

i don't know, i don't seem to hear about it if so. i don't watch the sunday shows for this reason.

[Meadowoak]

22. It's time to bring back the fairness doctrine, I think it was called,

I know it doesn't apply to cable networks, but for christsake, this was on CBS. We should be able to demand equal time for opposing viewpoints.

[elleng]

23. yes

[Hortensis]

26. Before was Deval Patrick talking about voting rights and attacks on them

and democracy, etc.

The 4 conservative citizens were followed by discussion of on-line extremism and its effects on politics and the national mood with experts Jared Holt and Karen Kornbluh, beginning with the relationship of the internet and democracy. "Tenuous" as he said, going on to discuss the incompatibility of rage and die-hard factionalism with democracy and much more.

Ideally, with or without a fairness doctrine, it would be next to impossible to decide if coverage tended to lean one direction or another. Noting that conservatives do tend to feel fewer topics are valid and important, and more might reflect negatively on their positions, than liberals do, so that inclusion could favor liberalism

Both the Deval Patrick and the internet-democracy segments would be examples of more unfavorable to the Republican agenda even if fairly and apolitically presented.

But again, that's not liberal slant, just reporting what's relevant. Nor would listening courteously to four conservative citizens present their beliefs be slanted -- in itself.

However, it was not difficult to detect bias in this host. Just watching for how hosts restate and summarize the statements made by guests, for spin or concise accuracy, usually reveals what they're up to. The guest says Republicans blocked needed action, the host summarizes congress blocked needed action, etc.

Btw, there is apparently a demographic that gets its political/national news from the Sunday morning shows. This is mostly "it" for them.

27. Thank you for perspective and context. Hitting the auto-outrage button is a preventable addiction.

[liberal N proud]

28. It kept me from throwing things at my TV

And yelling

[llmart]

29. Oh, here we go again...

Nonstop coverage of what the Magats think. First of all, as far as we know, he hasn't even said he was running for anything, so why cover his so-called "voters"?

I'm so sick of this pandering the media does to this idiot, even after all we know about his role in the insurrection and the stealing of government documents.

[spanone]

31. Our media is in a race to the bottom.
