posted by iclfan2Has anyone seen the Katie Hill (congress woman) stuff? I know it’s hard with the garbage media, but posting nude pics to websites, having affairs with staffers. If this were a man or a republican the you’d never here the end of it.
I saw the one picture where she's naked, sitting on a couch, with a staffer sitting on the floor between her legs and she's brushing the staffer's hair lol

So, basically a female Marc Weiner, then?
This should be interesting. My guess is she's defended against the "male double standard" and praised for sexually empowering women. The power/superior thing will be ignored or brushed aside.
So Obama eulogizing Cummings has taken a few veiled shots at Trump, to much laughter. I imagine the liberal media will love this. Of course, when Repubs do it they get rightfully excoriated.

Not the time and place
Holy shit, the Washington Post led with A headline describing a dead terrorist as an “austere religious scholar”. You can’t make this shit up. Watching political pundits and the media try to find ways to shit on the killing of the leader of ISIS is hilarious.
Trump now looks like a commander and chief. Likely just got reelected
Lol Katie Hill resigned

Mind numbing. I hope the Post hears directly from the families of the victims of this monster, not that the liberal rag would care, but my God what a disgraceful move.

Was going to occur anyway, but it was a good hour. I really appreciate him not giving advance notice to Schiff/Pelosi; they deserve ZERO.
Lol Trump posted a fake pic of him giving the dog a Medal of Honor, and some stupid fucks fact checked it. Is the media really retarded or are they just pretending? It’s scary that I don’t know.

Yeah, the people getting mad at this are being stupid. This is on par with his well-done steak with ketchup or Obama's tan suit.
There's actual shit to complain about. This isn't even on the back end of that category.
LOL at people in New York City who don't want to pay $2.75 to ride the subway.

You mostly could have just stopped here.
60 Minutes tonight with a predictably partisan report on Brexit.
This is a very alarming development. There is not a single news organization that can be trusted to actually do journalism. This is what informs many, many people. They have no clue what they are seeing/hearing is filtered thru a globalist/progressive agenda (or conservative, for Fox viewers).
I think most people still think 60 Minutes is hard journalism. But we've been posting here on a weekly basis that, almost every week, they have an anti-Trump / anti-Repub hit piece.
People will eventually realize they were deceived. But, again, the next generation will never trust science or the media.
Misinformation is the biggest threat to our democracy.

I'd argue it's the tribalism (which makes us not care about factual information) and the inability to have a civil discussion on the topic while disagreeing fervently.

misinformation from the media is what is driving the prevalence of tribalism

See, I think it's the other way around, and I'll tell you why.
News networks are, first and foremost, businesses. If there's not enough money to keep the lights on and the ownership happy, no information is going to get passed along.
As such, to some degree, the media outlets have an organic motivation for appealing to their target audience.
Now, if any significant subset of the population wanted the objective, unadulterated, Joe-Friday-style news, there'd be a market for a media outlet to provide that.
If there's a market for it, then there's money to be made with it, so a media outlet would fill that niche, whether it'd be a new one or whether one or more of the existing ones would transition in that direction.
However, the media outlets are really only becoming more polarized. That tells me that it's what the audiences want. There's a demand for media that agrees with them.
The market is just catering to the demand, same as it does in every other industry.

Since you post links to Breitbart, you're driving said prevalence, then.
