    I read it yesterday. I've also listened to his pod with Sam Harris. He's definitely not team #MAGA.

    While I will continue to disagree with many here on "attempted coups" , I would agree that many in the media got way out ahead of evidence being collected and have a shit ton of egg on the face.

    I think it's more a symptom of profit-driven media than of any political agenda, although obviously there is some of that. He's talked about it in other places. The New Yorker infamously wouldn't even allow sales people on their editorial floor. Now tv news networks brag about being the most watched.
    You would

    If it was profit driven CNN and MSNBC would be like Fox who kicks their ass

    They were anti Trump all the time because of their political views. They hired hacks like Brennan and the rest to echo that view day and night

    They deserve all the shame and mockery they get. From wherever it comes
    And you don't care that Fox was anti Obama? Turns out there's a lot of conservative dicksuckers who want the message that liberals are coming for all that is right in America. And that's what Fox sells very well.
    Obama fucked up healthcare so bad no one is able to make a decent push for anything new for like 10 years after the ACA. What a fucking disaster. He can suck it.
    Republicans had complete control of all three houses for two years. It's clear they have no solution to health Care other than to keep the current shitty system in place.

    @Pitchfork51 you can't besmirtch Obamacare without the chief lapdog nibbling at your balls.


    As always its special to watch Hondofaggot move the goalposts after hearing for years how great Obamacare would be. The totally predictable failure it is
    I have blasted Obamacare since the start. But at least in honest ways. I'm sorry I didn't jump on the death panel scare. Or how Obamacare would crater the economy. Or all the other bullshit lies you believed.

    Really Obamacare kept in place the shitty medical insurance tied to employment system. But at least gave some transparency to buying on the internet to make it easier for people to be insured. And insurance rate growth slowed. But you kept your doctor so fuck off.
    Hondo blasted it because it wasn't free!

    If you don't think profit-driven news is a major problem and was a major factor in the way this was covered, you truly can't be saved.

    Not that you care because you have zero credibility or self-awareness, but there's some irony in you denying this after upvoting the op, which is a chapter from a book intended to be a follow-up to Manufacturing Consent
    Can you put together a coherent post for once?

    MSNBC and CNN put bias ahead of profit. The ratings bear that out.

    I am well aware of manufacturing consent for wars or calling the President a traitor. News is cheap so it turns a profit regardless.

    You can't deny what I wrote so you respond with the usual gibberish
    I think Fox is biased just as much to the right and CNN/MSNBC are to the left. But the in the demographic that watches cable news, there's just way more right of center folks, hence way higher viewership for Fox. Same is true for talk radio.
    Well that and the fact that the liberals have about 5 or 6 outlets that cater to their biases while the Right has one.
    This is if you consider the authoritarian right the same thing as the libertarian right. Fox is definitely one and not the other.

    No, they aren't.

    They didn't waste two years watching about how Trump was going to be impeached or indicted or both

    That you are correct about. They watched two years of how Hillary is a criminal even tho she lost and important stuff like Elizabeth Warren's heritage. Such the important news of our time.

    Obamacare sucks because it was supposed to be a stepping stone but was such a disaster that it sets healthcare reform back a decade.

    The firm I work for pays for pretty much all my medical, so you are close to correct. And because of Obamacare, I can put $6,000 into an HSA to shelter income and the costs I do pay is only going up 2% or so a year.

    Tell that to the network you are going blue in the face defending. For reals, did you not understand the conversation?
