He's basically a less obnoxious left-wing version of Hannity.

Maybe at that moment but he is also a puppet of lefty media.

What did you think he said?

We're talking CC. Using multi-syllable words in a sentence is probably enough to confuse him.

Christmas parties = sexual harassment.

Ban Christmas.

Oh wait, that process already began.

Oh yes, the War on Christmas.  Just like clockwork, the usual suspects led by their cable and talk radio patriots trot out the old War on Christmas.  Where is obligatory picture of the Starbucks cup in your post?

Do you not read things?

They said Christmas parties = a place where sexual harassment can take place, particularly because it has a less formal feel, and people are "freer" with each other sometimes.

Seriously, show us on the doll where someone canceling their own Christmas party hurt you.

Never mind the persistent "pretend Breitbart is a legit news site whose stories should be taken seriously" deal that he does. Shit, might as well just post a shit-ton of Root and Jezebel stories since they have the same amount of intellectual honesty going on, with the only difference being that one is a right-wing troll-job and the other two are left-wing troll-jobs.

Here's a little media bias site that I found interesting: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/

Needless to say there are no big names there lol!

Nice try.  If the Trumpers don't like the fact checks on mediabiasfactcheck, they call it a liberal media outlet.  

There used to be a site called KnifeMedia but it is now defunct. But I really liked it because they reported the news with as little adjectives as they could. They tried very hard not to put their feelings into the reporting and even reviewed other media outlets for propaganda. But since they didn't publish clickbait or try to be a political outreach program, they didn't get many advertisers. Hence, going defunct.

Ah, the old "last refuge of the weak-minded and ignorant" talking point. And it's the season for grumpy asshole snowflakes bitching about the world coming to an end because someone at some business had the audacity to say "Happy Holidays" to them instead of "Merry Christmas"!!!

Well, after scanning several, it IS pretty clearly left-leaning.  

For example, they correctly label Fox and MSNBC/CNN very biased....but for MSNBC/CNN they go on to say "but straight news is good" and other equivocations and apologies.  The half dozen or so descriptions I read on the left all said something along the lines of "mostly...but there are writers/contributors who are very objective".  Stark contrast to what was written on the right-leaning sites.

It put Breitbart out there in conspiracy/fake news land....but not HuffPo or VOX?  Politico is on the list of "least biased"?!?

Also, it put WattsUpWithThat on the list of conspiracy/faux science for daring to challenge the global warming hysteria.  That site is quite good, has some very prominent and accomplished skeptics who regularly contribute, and is constantly promoting peer-reviewed papers that challenge the so-called "consensus".

If that's the case, then the father should be tried and sent to jail. Period.

Better talk to the dems about catch-and-release.

Just finished watching Dave Rubin's sitdown with Imam Tawhidi. Excellent conversation going on with hard questions asked and answered (as much as possible because safety is still an issue). I really recommend to take an hour and listen because it is truly interesting. Regardless of your religion or lack of, it's something that should absolutely be "safe" to talk about.

Right now (it may change), Nate Silver is getting dat ratio on Twitter. He states that he thinks Tucker Carlson is a racist. The saving grace of that tweet IMO is saying that the PR people of Applebee's shouldn't be the ones that determine political speech - which I agree with.

I tend to agree that Tucker is a racist, or at least that he convincingly plays a racist on TV. However, I don't want the PR department of Applebee's deciding for us all what's racist vs. legitimate/acceptable political speech.

Everybody to the right of Bernie Sanders is a racist these days lol 

When colleges and universities prioritize cultural Marxism over educating future professionals, we end up where we are.  Sickening.

Remember when the ol days when Silver wasn't a virtuous "progressive" hack?

The new woke thing to complain about is how States with no people like ND have the same amount of Senators as California. LOL

It's almost like the founders thought of that and created a second legislative branch that takes population into account.
