To your first question, you can answer as to why MSM doesn't go out of their way, even though they get herded out repletely by his handlers. Anything to protect Biden. One other thing, do you think Biden is honest with what he says and therefore no need for fact checkers?Civilized said:ncsupack1 said:LOL... I'm still waiting on the " fact checkers " on Biden and his crap that comes out of his mouth daily. And folks wonder why people don't trust the media.SmaptyWolf said:That's a start. Now if you guys hadn't been trained to distrust fact checkers, Google, science, or any other external source of truth, you might discover all of the un-admitted liars that shape your worldview, too.ncsupack1 said:barelypure said:
You do realize the guy was talking about a poll right. So for Tucker to verify the poll he would have had to conduct another poll. But since all Tucker does is lie there would need to be a poll to verify that poll. So where does it end.
When other talking heads have on people who have conducted polls do you ask them to verify the poll or are they just giving the poll taker a platform to report the results of the poll.
I think you have a Tucker problem more than a problem with the poll. IOW had this been on someone else's show you would have been more receptive
The Tucker problem is that he is an admitted liar. So yes, I question most of what he says and what he has on his show. If we are going to hold the left to a standard and call them out for lying, why not hold the same standard to our side?
It would sell, so why is anyone waiting on anything?
Why haven't the right-leaning media done the fact checking and then profited?
Because a lot of the legacy media leans left. Same reason why Fox and OAN and Newsmax don't call out Trump's buffoonery. This isn't news.
Good thing there are plenty of both left- and right-leaning news sources so Americans can choose to consume news from across the spectrum if they want.
And if we're keeping score, only right-leaning media has been successfully sued to smithereens for completely and knowingly fabricating bull**** news to appease their thirsty audience.
To be fair, in 2024 reality has a pretty strong liberal bias, so outside of obvious partisans like MSNBC how can you be sure?
I know what you're driving at and don't completely disagree, but there are ways to try to quantify such things carried out by fairly centrist organizations.
I don't think many of us would argue strongly with this characterization of various outlets, for example:
