If Journalists point that out and report on it, then the Republicans will refuse their interviews and to come on their shows.. and they much rather have the fall of democracy, than risk losing access.

Here in the land of the free and the home of the brave, we don’t have time to worry about the fall of democracy when the fall of ratings is on the line!

How will advertisers sell their keto gummy diet pills if no one is watching?

This is the paradox of liberalism.

You have blue MAGA outlets like NPR that spent the last 8 years being “fair” to both sides, telling their audience the antivax fascist psychopaths are just as valid and worthy as the left trying to give people education and healthcare.

As if conservative views are even worth recognizing.

Liberalism without a STRONG left wing always ends in fascism, and the liberals are more than happy to join the fascists (see: literally all liberal discourse on Lemmy).

Guess what the US has spent the past 80 years doing. Real coincidence every time a country leans left, they are overthrown by CIA puppets.

So now you have liberals in literal tears trying to get their guy elected without even fucking understanding the issues at play. They don’t give a shit.

Not all NPRs. Boston Public Radio, or at least Jim and Marjorie, the only time I ever heard them talking about antivaxers was when Art Caplan (a weekly regular..."American ethicist and professor of bioethics at New York University Grossman School of Medicine" per his Wikipedia) was tearing apart most of what they say.

But that's more like a talk news show. You kind of expect a little bit less neutrality in that.

Art Caplan was also recently on an episode of Nova talking about ethics in modern medicine. Think it was actually about vaccination (may have been designer babies).

It's a two party system, jabroni. If the liberals crying their tears don't get their guy in office, who do you think DOES get into office?

newflash: Trump gets into office. Which must be your guy, right?

If you’re going to join conversations with people you might want to check your tone, as you could have the most sound argument ever but if you come across as a prick you’re going to turn people off your pov.

Be better my guy and talk to people how you would expect people to talk to your mother.
