Yeah, you're the one complaining about other people's conversation trying to shut them up, and I'm the rude, whiny little asshole?

Seriously, fuck yourself with a rusty spoon. I don't give a damn what you think of my contributions.

Actually, a study showed that people who got their information from "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" were more knowledgable than people who got their news from other sources.

Maybe because people who are already knowledgeable to begin with are drawn to those shows? An interesting point, though.

Wtf?  They are talking about the points you brought up in your OP!  What is your problem?  This is a public forum; members are free to discuss mostly whatever they want, mostly wherever they want.  You're acting like a rude, entitled cry baby.  You should grateful that people are engaging in your thread.

Quote:Be careful about getting your "facts" from comedians like Bill Maher or shows like The Daily Show. I enjoy watching those too but those aren't necessarily sources that show all points of view on a given topic.

There are no sources that give all points of view.  There's no money in that.

As far as the media goes it is complicated.  To a very large extent they created Drumpfism because they decided the Orange Baboon would be good for ratings.  They fixated on him to the virtual exclusion of the other 16 asswipes running for the GOP nomination and thus bear great responsibility for the fact that a sleazy moron like that is still in the race to be fucking president.  Now, having realized the monstrosity they created they have turned on him but only the print media.  The TV talking heads are still falling all over him with their false equivalency horseshit.  Fortunately, newspaper reporters are actually doing their jobs and showing the world what a scumbag Drumpf really is.

Truth is elusive.   You may have to settle for facts and make up your own mind without the spin-masters "helping" you.

Who are you?  The forum police?
You have something stupid and non contributing to say in every thread I've seen you in. Now you're just being a rude whiny little asshole.

No, you're being rude.  You posted asking people here for help, and now you're acting like a complete dick because you're not getting 100% of everyone's attention.  Seriously, how old are you OP?

In fact, how about this for an answer to your OP: Figure it out for yourself. Do your own fucking research and then sprinkle just a dash of critical thinking on top, grown adult.
