It would be easy also to come up with a similar list for conservatives.
Hilarious that your 2nd priority is the legalization of weed. That's super duper important. More taxes! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM7D22Z4a80)

The right to kill babies. Super duper important.

What exactly are your "Independent Media Sources." List a few to back your claim, and I of course ask this knowing you will never do it, because you never back up your silly steam of conscious stuff when you spew it. I know that the sources you often post here are comically biased (and make zero effort to hide how much they manipulate the things they produce for you), so I admit I am curious for some exmples, knowing you will not provide any.

As for this weird "The View" fixation thing you keep talking about - as I said several times before when you bring up that show - I have never watched it, though I assume you are deeply familiar with it given how often you mention it. I have heard of it and know it is hosted by all women, so is that what gets you so angry at it and the other woman (Maddow) you keep talking about? Which white men do you watch for your "Independent Media." I assume Tucker is one of them, but who else for you? Thanks in advance!

All the best.

Where did I say that my examples reflected my personal priorities? The examples I gave have nothing to do with my personal priorities.

Google monopoly ruined media even worse apparently. To another extreme. I always knew the Google monopoloy was bad news and regulators did nothing.
"For instance, he found that YouTube’s “Up Next” suggestions to adults for the next video to watch were biased towards liberal sources 76% of the time. For children percentage of suggested on YouTube from liberal sources is 96%. Second thought i guess 90% of media is liberal anyway idk

I don't even know what this means. My YouTube suggestions rarely are political because I don't watch much political content on YouTube.

If the algorithm suggests videos that show NBA highlights or tips about cooking Korean food, the channel is very unlikely to be liberal, conservative, or centrist, and highly likely to be apolitical. How are those sources treated for the purposes of this sort of study?

I don't either but I made the mistake awhile ago where I watched part of one of the stupid videos that always get posted here for laughs and I was inundated with derpy crap for days/weeks until it all dropped off.

My Twitter feed is now full of 9/11 crap because I went deep into some tweets about it. I can't believe 9/11 is still a thing but I guess it has fallen into the same sphere of the Kennedy assignation, the moon landing, etc. I will say reading threads about conspiracy theories is one of my favorite things on 2p2. Bummer we don't have any active threads. Playbig occasionally I guess.

Is Newsome not a favorite to run for prez? He's close to 40 to 1 to win it all so I'm assuming I'm out of the loop on something.

I hear there's some Joe guy that's running for reelection, so that might have something to do with it.

So this Joe guy has something to do with Newsome having worse odds than Kennedy and Harris, eh.

The difference is that Newsom isn't going to run unless Biden becomes incapacitated, whereas RFK Jr. apparently is running no matter what.

It is going to be very difficult for Newsom to win the nomination if he doesn't run for president.

Right, Newsom and Harris have significantly worse odds than a wing nut like Kennedy because they've given no indication they are planning to run against a sitting president. Like Rococo said, tough to win when you don't run.

What seemed interesting is that Kennedy.has no shot against Biden if Biden remains somewhat together. If Biden deteriorates too much for the party's liking, which seems very well a possibility, Newsome would crush Harris who also hasn't stated on running and crush Kennedy yet Harris and Newsome are tied and Kennedy is favored over them. But I concede that I haven't thought too much about it.

Yeah obviously there’s a good chance Biden is going to deteriorate. Just like he was going to forget his name in the first debate with Trump.

I don't disagree that Newsom and Harris are likely better bets than Kennedy. I think the odds are generally based on what people are actually betting or that the bookies believe they will bet; I assume that people are betting Kennedy more because he's actually running, and probably haven't given enough thought about what the situation would need to be for one of them to actually win.
