Funny that a guy who pretends to be a guy pretending to be a conservative picks an avatar that looks like a ginger Jerry Garcia.

What makes you think I'm pretending? I mean why would anyone pretend to be a conservative? What would be the point exactly?

I don't get it.

I'm not going to bother reading the OP but is it the case the danger comes from him not leaving the oval office if he loses in November as that is the only legitimate concern I see (that assumes it ever eventuates which I can't see it happening).

You can criticise the media without using language that is typically associated with totalitarian regimes. I take issue with the language.

Conservatives always seem to complain that the mainstream media is lying, but can rarely provide actual examples of this.

Fact selection is more effective than outright lying when it comes to deceiving the public. You know, ignoring things that go against the narrative.

Thanks for popping in to let everyone know you found the subject line ridiculous and didn't bother reading the OP. We could use more thoughtful, constructive feedback like that around here.

Sure, I know what you mean. Conservatives can rarely provide examples of this either though - for example, every time Kel tries, someone else insta-links whatever story he's referring to being "suppressed" on half a dozen MSM outlets.

Fair enough, I couldn't find that story on CNN either, but found it elsewhere. It is a bit weird.

All the biggest lies we can't talk about. Probably couldn't even have a 9/11 thread.

I don't get why anyone would defend the media. I get you all like beating up Kel, but it's evident the media sells narratives that people want to hear. I mean, it's no secret media outlets are a haven for activist, not journalist.

What?

I mean, where do journalists work, if not "media outlets"? Or are you claiming "journalists" are a thing of the past and don't exist anymore, they've all become "activists"?

It's just that conservatives don't understand bylines, and news outlets sometimes publish or broadcast things he does not like.
