But what I hate is for one side to say they are better than the other. That's not true. Congress has an 18% approval rating. And when you bash the MSM, you've lost the plot. ALL media sites are biased. With a bit of research, you can find ones more in the middle. Sadly, many prefer their echo chambers. This is how a majority of us feel right now. We're tired of hearing political stuff every day. I'm no Obama fan, but he wasn't a horrible president. Unlike the one we have now. Listen to his speech. Moving. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/22/politics/election-2020-donald-trump-barack-obama-joe-biden-swing-states/index.html 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

However, the only true claim to greatness that he can rightly stake a claim to is "the greatest liar". Do you really expect the press to not call him out on all those thousands of lies? They really would be open to criticism if they didn't do their job, a big part of which is fact checking. That's why Fox News isn't a reliable source, they don't do fact checking, something all Murdoch's media outlets have in common. The New York Post has just been caught with its pants down for just that reason. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
