My recommendation would be for everyone to turn off the Network news and especially any cable news and talk to your neighbors. Maybe then people would start forming their own opinions and quit sounding like a bunch of wanker talking points.

But we know that will never happen as most are to attuned to group think. Sad really.


But.....

Still time to enjoy another Great Florida Day!

Question everything!
Sorry, there are very few that are not even liberal or moderately liberal, so what you are saying is only partially correct. I side with the OP.

That would be my neighbors that called the cops for suspicious people in the area over us using a black-owned paving company to replace our driveway a couple years back? (Interestingly, in an area where blacks make up 10% of the local population, they own about 75% of the local paving and concrete companies here)

Yep, I've got a pretty good idea what their points of view are.

Other neighbors- the really nice conservationists who are sadly moving soon, the party house across the street, the military folks who don't talk politics in public ever, and the guy who has not talked to us for 15 years since we asked him to not put his yard waste on our lawn for pick up.

There are not many anywhere in the country I don't think.. Our daughter and son in law stopped taking the Orlando paper for that reason. They got tired of the slant to the left. Our paper here in AR used to lean very much to the right and had mostly right leaning columnists but did give both sides. Now it has swung so far left we hardly remember the days of fairness. My husband was reporter for the Los Angeles Times in the fairness days. We lived in San Gab. Valley CA when their paper was fair and balanced. The same when my husband worked for the so bay paper in Torrance CA.

To be honest and I am not plugging CD, I get a better cross section of information and opinions from spending time here on CD Political thread

No most of us prefer hearing both sides, reading columns on both sides and getting a cross opinion of information. Certainly it is nice to hear the side you are on speaking, but both sides need to be heard. I am always amazed when people who think they are well informed but do not watch any TV net work news or read any paper. How is that informed? No, just watching the market isn't enough. I guess whatever works for us

every one of those are true...and there's there tons more...and every one of them is "real news" she reported as "real news"
....then goes to court and claims she doesn't report news....it's all opinion

If you guys would look at more than just liberal confirmation news...you'd know it
Just as I suspected, you can't produce the links because THEY DON'T EXIST.

Don't forget to book your flight and sign up for the Tulsa rally ticket on Saturday before everything's booked up. You can leave your mask at home, they'll be passing out the new and improved Russian imports at the door.

Just as I suspected....and just as easy for you to do it too....too complicated for a liberal?

You can't google Rachel Maddow sued...

Rachel Maddow NSA Intercept

Rachel Maddow Trump's taxes

....try it

"the liberal TV host argued that her assessment of OAN as "paid Russian propaganda" qualifies as opinion and thus isn't actionable."
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/th...-fails-1249224

"By Maddow’s own telling, MSNBC received the document two days after the Intercept published it for the entire world to see."
https://www.thestreet.com/mishtalk/e...-full-of-holes

"By the time Maddow got to the release—which came via Daily Beast reporter David Cay Johnston—the White House had already released the pertinent information from the documents, and half a dozen sites had published stories based on it."

This is all garbage, and the first two are from questionable sources.

I'm more and more convinced you're a bot. Just curious if you are based in Moscow or Saint Petersburg?

And the Republican Party ended up with a reality TV star who is a con man, crook, liar, and ignorant of anything about the world, as our President. Yet people like you elected him and want to again!

LOL. My neighbors are all Right Wing crazies! I chuckle about how they say they are registered Independent. But if we ask them how they vote, they always say they only vote Republican.

Others say they have quit following the news. Obviously, they don’t want to have to think.
