Dude...THEY BOTH LIE!  A LOT!

While Obama made some promises he didn't keep, occasionally misspoke, sometimes got things wrong and certainly framed issues to his liking....he generally was honest with the American people.  Trump is a pathological liar.  There is a difference.

I do watch PBSnewshour (not every night,but a couple of times a week),and Washington week.

I don't watch any cable news,So called experts,yelling at each other,talking over each other isn't news...Nor do I find any of the Cable "news" channels newsworthy,and bore me to tears...I could care less about their political bias/slants

Dude...THEY BOTH LIE!  A LOT!
And here's the problem:

I could try to cite a fact-checking organization to show that although all politicians lie, the right does so much more frequently AND to a greater degree than the left does.  But any fact-checking organization that presents such data will immediately and necessarily be criticized for liberal bias!

This is the point.  We cannot reasonably talk about bias in fact-checking organizations when one side simply says, "If you say the facts are against me, You Are Biased."  In that reality, there are no such things as fact-checkers... there are simply "organizations who disagree with us" and "organizations who don't."  The so-called "fact-checkers" are just another cog in the liberal media conspiracy, along with the so-called "scientists."

So I'll repeat myself: what is an example of a fact-checking organization that does not have a "liberal bias"?

Obama White House and Hillary Clinton lied repeatedly to the American people about the nature of and reasons for the 2012 terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya, even as they privately acknowledged what caused them.

Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook


And as a result Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the Coptic Christian whose short video “The Innocence of Muslims” was initially faulted for sparking the Sept. 11, 2012 terror attack at U.S. diplomatic compounds in Libya, is now living in a homeless shelter run by First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, Calif. He has served time in prison, been shamed publicly by the White House and threatened with death.


Yep ... that Obama guy is "generally honest"



I wouldn't expect anything any different in hear but even my liberal gay friends are like .... quit whining and get over it. Somehow we have to find a way to get news like the old days before people like Dan Rather put a spin on it. All of the major news stations put their slant into everything and if you don't think "your people" do then you need to take a look at yourself.  The US is killing itself to try and make everyone believe as they do ... no matter the cost.

Just to be clear about that link CF just posted:

That is not an article by the Daily Mail accusing Obama and Hillary of lying.  That is an article by the Daily Mail in which they are reporting that the Republicans in Congress wrote an 800-page-long report in which they repeatedly accuse Obama and Hillary of lying.

"Republicans accuse Democrats of lying" is not a very compelling example of both sides lie.

Haha ... that's pretty funny Fau and I mean that literally. The same network that dumped their #2 conservative comedy show has unbiased news? And you're saying the the same thing with NBC news? I mean they have people who even admit to making up stories.

Nice article from the Washington Post titled "Dear Mainstream Media: Why so liberal?

This that same bullshit.  Yes, the NYT employees more reporters that are democrats than republicans, that is not bias. Because the paper holds both democrats and republicans accountable in its reporting.  Fox on the other hand is a republican proganda machine.

"Republicans accuse Democrats of lying" is not a very compelling example of both sides lie.

Also, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula has been arrested and jailed numerous times. Reasons include; intent to make meth and the violation of probation for that as well as bank fraud (in which he was a snitch for a lighter sentence) and the violation of that probation as well.

This is not a result of his video as much as his life choices.

Fau, I used my extremely terrible MSpaint skills to "correct" your chart for our inherent liberal bias.  This is the unbiased version:



On a separate note, I would just like to add:

The same network that dumped their #2 conservative comedy show has unbiased news?
That's right: if you cancel your "#2 conservative comedy show" (?????!) that means your news division is hopelessly in the tank for the Democrats.

There is no slight too trivial to offend conservative perception of the media.

I thought they cancelled the show because Tim Allen is an insufferable asshat?

I just heard that ABC also announced that this will be the final season of Scandal, which was rated even higher than Last Man Standing (5 spots higher, in fact) in the key demographic of viewers age 18-49.

Why does ABC hate strong black women?  Shameful.  You might even call it... scandalous.
