Storming the Capitol

With all due respect, that just sounds like someone saying that the graph needs to align with one’s own views to make for it to be credible. If that’s the case, who or what can be said to be objective?

But I get it. It’s convenient to rail against “left wing media” if you can shift everything that you don’t like to the political alignment that you don’t like.

The graph is just somebody's opinion.

what if they really are biased should we ignore the railing for your reason and accept the bias?

Again, anyone can find examples of bias one way or another. So then is nothing objective? Are we saying that we simply reject facts if we can confirm our own bias against a source?

Opinion based on fairly substantial evidence.

Rejecting facts and reality is easy for the donald crowd. They just call it fake news.

I think it comes fairly easily for anyone actually. I’m cognizant of my own left bias so I usually like to weigh stories against sources like The Hill and WSJ. I was as actually surprised to see Real Clear Politics skewing as far right as it does.

Not at all.

How do you know? Because you don’t like it or because you’ve done in depth reading of all these sources?

Because it hurts his feelings so he clicks the "creative" or "disagree" rating.

They explicitly state that it's based on opinion. You people are desperate for someone to tell you what to think.

Nothing can be factual. Got it.

And if the opinion differs from yours, it’s fake news?

You seem confused.
Typical for you.

"Factual reporting" is not synonymous with non bias reporting.

Define fake news.

 

[The Driver]

Define fake news.

False reporting.

Are you invoking @MAKAVELI ’s spirit?

That behavior hasn't seemed to be a problem for either side lately. Lots of lefties believe thousands of unarmed black men are killed by police every year, lots of vaccinated people are still wearing masks, one can be a man, woman or other at will and our country is irredeemably racist from top to bottom.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

False reporting.

Like declaring that the Wuhan lab leak origin theory is disproven?
