A conservative can't help noticing that just about all the headlines we see anywhere, in print or on the internet, are skewed strongly Left. Google has become more Leftist by the day it seems.

Perhaps the media in general is more left leaning than right leaning. At work, we have a newspaper called The Epoch Times which I read on break occasionally. It seems more Right Leaning, but I never read anything based on my preconceived ideologies... I'm gonna google a few more terms though. This fire is beginning to burn.

Media Bias: Pretty Much All Of Journalism Now Leans Left, Study Shows
So my heading is true. So what does it mean? Staying true to my claim of being a political moderate, I am curious what the media itself says about this Left Right skirmish... I found a basic comparison chart which seems relatively truthful.
Comparison Chart The Hate is real. I've seen it come from both sides. The hate is based on differing ideologies and many people become energized to defend their political and moral ideology of choice. Faith and Theodoric are two who come from opposing (or different, at any rate) extremes. And I observe that AZPaul3 has a disdain for religions it seems. At least mine. I can see where the behavior of many "Christians" warrants such strong feelings of opposition. AZPaul3, if Jesus (as portrayed in the Book) were alive today, would you agree with Him or would you seek to limit His voice to no higher standard than your own?

You likely will ask how I know that such and such a copy is being spread due to a Holy Spirit and what that even is. You have a way to break this stuff down...why can't you just represent Christianity and support your local Holy Spirit?

But of course it's all "Americans," not just the Far Left or even the Left as such, who particularly hate the Koch brothers
Says who?

One article seemingly from the right doesn't tell us much. Since that is the Wall Street Journal I'd have to read the whole thing to assess it. And I didn't say there is a total absence of conservative points of view, but you usually have to look to find them, on the inner pages of Google rather than the first page for instance.
Mark Levin's most recent book, Unfreedom of the Press, that I've recommended a number of times now, covers the history of how the press gave up any pretense to objective coverage of the news and became the partisan mouthpiece of the Left.

Mark Levin's most recent book, Unfreedom of the Press, that I've recommended a number of times now, covers the history of how the press gave up any pretense to objective coverage of the news and became the partisan mouthpiece of the Left. Which I consider to be right wing propaganda bias. From the coverage of Bernie Sanders in the press in 2016 and again now, I see very little coverage of his rallies and positions, some criticism that is misinformed and other slights. This is hardly what I would expect from a leftist media. The main stream media is owned by corporations that are interested in corporation profits. Bottom Line. This is why - in my opinion - main stream media "news" has become infotainment, self-promotion of stations and fluff pieces on media people (movie stars etc) rather than real news. The more people watch the station the happier the corporate owners are. And if there is propaganda it is to promote corporate interests. In politics today it seems that Eisenhower would be a "leftist socialist" politician because the republican party has move so far to the right and away from their traditional values. You see this again and again in comments from people that no longer register as republicans that the party has left them.

AZPaul3, if Jesus (as portrayed in the Book) were alive today, would you agree with Him or would you seek to limit His voice to no higher standard than your own? What a crazy hypothetical. But, ok, I'll play. Show me. Let he and me talk then I'll make an assessment whether I agree or not. As for a "higher standard" than my own, I have no idea what that means.Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

From Wikipedia:
quote: He's also outspokenly buys into several right-wingnut conspiracy theories. The guy's an extreme right-wingnut. No wonder Faith loves him so much. Her own rhetoric here appears to be a toned-down version of Levin's.

quote: The Koch brothers, and Ron Paul, formed Freedom Works (or the predecessor group that split off) in the 1980's. They are bitter enemies of Trump. Very bitter. Just google the comments exchanged.

I disagree. They are not 'conservative versions of George Soros' because the motivation is pure greed and power on the part of the Koch brothers, while the intent of George Soros seems more altruistic.

Also, Soros has been pretty open about his goals and involvement.
The Kochs and their allies setup foundations and dummy organizations to hide their involvement; a lot work by journalists to unravel all the threads leading to the Kochtopus.It says something about the qualities of our current president that the best argument anyone has made in his defense is that he didn't know what he was talking about. -- Paul Krugman

As one of my signature lines states.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?
