And this is the tricky part, how do you know if you heard news without nuance? It could be straight reporting. I think we have to trust what we see in the world as limited a perspective as that may be, and do our best to apply common sense to it. And again, I understand you could make the same comment and we would be 180" in disagreement.
Guys, we are talking about a STATE MEDIA level of disinformation coming from the Right.
Take the case of the 75 year old man in Buffalo who was violently shoved by police and is now in critical condition in the hospital. We all saw the horrible video. He was assaulted, and almost killed, blood coming out of his ears as he laid on the ground.
Enter OAN, in a report that draws absurd connections between the man and "Antifa" because they contend (with no evidence, citing only "sources") that he was using his phone to monitor police scanners and to block their communications, supposedly a tactic "Antifa" uses. It then makes the leap from that not even tenuous connection to contend that his assault was a false flag operation, staged to make the police look bad.
Watch it:

There is so much here...the total lack of sources cited for what they contend. Then their contentions not even pointing to what they say it does. The report title and banner headline leave no room for interpretation; he was an ANTIFA PROVOCATEUR! No question. And of course, therefore it means the whole attack was staged...
Then enter Trump who repeats the totally baseless speculation (ie lies) on twitter. Rinse, repeat. Same thing happens with FOX. And this is EVERY DAY these guys pumping out this total bullshit.
The idea that CNN is in that category is so laughably off base and without evidence that the contention is in itself biased.
Totally agree. That old codger was a threat to nobody. Walk around him Mr. Policeman.
I'm conservative. But that's not the dirty word some folks make it out to be.
Sorry but these days that says accomplice to me
Hate will do that.
Cap, if a group of people consistently supports candidates who work to the detriment of
your racial or ethnic or gender or sexual orientation groups, leading to unnecessary deaths, while those candidates deny there is racism, sexism, etc...
and that group of voters/supporters explains that their
personal economic well-being is worth more to them than
your life or your family's health, how would YOU feel toward those folks who were actively screwing you?
Would you be seeking to embrace them, with love? Would you consider them "equally biased?"
We
still have children and adults being kept in unhealthy situations, families that remain separated against court orders, and a host of other issues. We
daily have environmental rules being removed and/or conservative judges being shoved through regardless of competence.
The conservative branch of the Supreme Court already put through a change to the "right to remain silent" that says it only applies if you
state that you are invoking that right or the police can use your silence against you. (Talk about an oxymoron!)
Is this the
conservativism of which you speak?
If you support the imprisoning of children and forcible separation of children intended to keep them from their parents, keeping no record of where they were sent, then you should not be surprised if hate is directed your way.
Let alone systemic racism which your wing of the political spectrum denies exists.
