Might be off-topic, but I really hate how mainstream media has boiled down politics and news into sports teams. With shit like this headline, it just infuriates me that it’s normal to go “us vs them” for all of the citizens of the same fucking country because the people supporting Team D need to beat Team R, and vice versa. Like, ffs who cares of News Outlet A is having a grand time having their “Super Bowl” on whatever Team R is doing, or if News Outlet B is bashing on whatever random tangent they have going on for Team D?

Yeah, fuck fascism, but fuck whatever mainstream media is trying to do to with this shit, because it’s downplaying politics hard.

Lol what a shit take. This could be said for fox or newsmax but there are precisely zero left MSM sources that were left for the sake of being left alone.
Every corporate msm is right of center.

This is just another “both sides” argument you’re making.
Talking about trumps crimes don’t make MSNBC left or part of team Dem.

Name one that is truly pushing a left narrative of workers rights and universal health care…I’ll wait.

btaf45 OP ,

Having a left of center source regularly taking their best shots at the other side is a good thing because the opposite is happening regardless. You can always watch centrist sources (and you should) like ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, BBC etc.

So the solution is not to silence MSNBC. They are a critical counterweight to FAUX. The solution is to add some centrist sources to your news.

Pageantry, which the media is an integral part of, is an important part of Fascism so you are basically just saying “fuck fascism” twice. No need to either or with this.

I'll say it's more like WWF and the presidentials are WrestleMania.
