Well, it sure looks like the media, as analyzed by the experts in media consumption has some places that are a little more "trustworthy" than others tend to be.

UNO, that's from 2014 and as this points out, things have changed.

And yet more liberals read the WSJ than conservatives.

And the likely reason has been pointed out previously.

When the UN starts talking to your nation the way they talk to banana republics....

Then they are late to the party and should have started a while ago.

If the suit was on behalf of the protesters, then the judgment was absolutely right and Oregon screwed up their suit.

Thank you for breaking up the string!

I posted and had 51 posts to respond to or ignore. I ignored most of them.

If both editorial pages play fast and loose with facts, as has been shown, they are similarly flawed.

A) quoting one website that supposedly rates media bias does not “show” anything. 

B) your one source doesn’t even say what you claim it does.

The purpose of a newspaper is to inform, entertain, and influence.

Mostly, no.

The purpose is to make money.

To do that you must inform, entertain, and influence.
Duh!

Still not their purpose, Ward. Wrong, again.

Those are their techniques to accomplish their purpose.

Nah, they're exaggerating things, Kid. Just sending people home to empty beds to make it look serious.

If they really believe it, make it 100%

People don't need masks when they are asleep.

They don't need them when they are alone.

Mostly they don't need them while showering or eating.

100%?

You are 100% full of shit.

yes kid is full of shit.

But as we all know he has others problems as well.

For example, he routinely judges a story just by the headline. If its a CNN headline the story is waved off as bullshit or some other kidiotic incorrect simplification. as he either hasn't read the article or doesn't understand the article.

In this instance the article clearly spells out when a mask is to be worn, and I quote,

The mandate, which will be implemented Aug. 1, requires masks to be worn in public spaces — both indoors and outdoors — where physical distancing is not possible, Scott said during a news conference.

The mandate applies to everyone over the age of 2, Scott said. Masks will not be required, however, when individuals are eating, drinking or doing strenuous activity

There is nothing there that a rational person or moderately literate person would interpret as mandating anyone to wear a mask 100% of the time.

kid once again proves he remains the village idiot.

A) quoting one website that supposedly rates media bias does not “show” anything. 

B) your one source doesn’t even say what you claim it does.

A) Posted multiple sources.

B) and you're still wrong

C) You should spend more time with your kids.  They could teach some things.

COVINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – A Covington, Ky., teenager who, along with some of his classmates, were at the center of an international tempest in January 2019 for an incident in Washington D.C., has settled a defamation lawsuit against the Washington Post for an undisclosed amount.

Former Covington Catholic student Nick Sandman announced the settlement Friday on Twitter. It also is his birthday.

“On 2/19/19, I filed a $250M defamation lawsuit against the Washington Post. Today, I turned 18 & WaPo settled my lawsuit…Thanks to my family & millions of you who have stood your ground by supporting me. I still have more to do,” Sandman tweeted.

He settled a similar lawsuit with CNN earlier this year. Sandmann also sued NBC Universal in U.S. District Court in Covington and then, in March, added ABC, CBS, USA Today owner Gannett, The New York Times and Rolling Stone.


Remember when the talking heads of the mainstream media said the kid had no chance of winning?

LOL!
