Holy shite. Do you ever get out of your echo chamber? Everything you just said is wrong. There is a reason CNN has record low #s. WaPo is far left and Twitter is a cesspool. You probably think NPR is center right don’t you

You're confusing anti Trump with something else.
- even though Twitter isn't really anti Trump. He made them a lot of money.
They're just anti misinformation and incitement (anti-lawsuit).

Twitter isn't exactly the best example to bolster your argument here. It's is an internet gathering place for mental patients. It's true that Twitter is now censoring a lot of accounts, but it isn't really related to misinformation; it's much more haphazard than that. They blocked that Washington Post article about Hunter Biden's sketchy dealings not that long ago. That's just one example - they've done a lot of fricked up censoring since that time as well - some political and some not.
CNN has had to retract several stories in recent years for being false - I remember one in particular about a Trump Aide being involved with Russian investments that was a complete fabrication. I don't read WP much so I can't comment on that.

All of those organizations are pro profit and pro corporate before they're anything else. That means they're anti-lawsuit, so they remove potentially harmful misinformation.
Fox news checks all these boxes as well, but I'd be willing to bet you don't see them as an unbiased source or am I wrong?

Your misunderstanding. None of them are unbiased. None.

This has to be satire. There is no other explanation for someone actually claiming that WaPo is conservative. If WaPo is conservative, then I guess Karl Marx leans slightly left.

WaPo is pro-corporate, pro-market, and pro-war.
They try hard to seem centrist, and they're 100% anti-Trump, but the three things I listed are the best description of the paper's last 3 decades.
You decide if that makes them conservative or neoliberal or establishment or neocon. It doesn't at all make them progressive.

Funny, because that's what we say about people like you. We can't both be right.
Oh you absolutely can both be right. Breitbart and OANN are no more accurate and honest than MSNBC or the NYT. Both sets peddle biased nonsense.

While I agree, this is a good example of what I term lopsided moral equivalency aka the viewership/magnitude of the few conservative obscure information outlets is miniscule compared to the overwhelming coverage of the liberal progressive dominated communication media.
This is a common progressive tactic in suggesting moral equivalency between Christianity and Islam citing a very small number of Christian radicals compared to the overwhelming number of ongoing Muslim terrorist attacks throughout the world.

OANN is a conspiracy site with a tiny audience. They cater to the most conservative, most pro Trump and most conspiracy oriented.
MSNBC is pro corporate and pro establishment Democrat. 30% of their hosts are prominent establishment Republicans. These days they spend almost as much time beating down progressives as they do Trump, and they mostly promote maintaining norms and incrementalism. A much better comp on the right is the Wallstreet Journal.
OANN doesn't even have a prominent comparison on the left. That's not to say they're aren't conspiracy sites on the left - just that those don't have best the following because they've never had a high profile baker like OANN.

Your right. It wasn't written by anyone pro American. It was written by folks who promote their harmful and divisive agenda to people they know don't fact check.
Here's the Washington Post article BTW.

Missed the mark on this one. They got blasted and edited that headline:

It would appear that the "austere scholar" headline was an overcorrection from the earlier "terrorist in chief" though also. It was changed pretty quickly.

Your absolutely right.
Is the whole story something that proves them to be anti-American, though? I don't think so.
Posted on 12/7/20 at 9:59 am to chillmonster
Definitely not a claim I was making fwiw. Generally I'd consider them at least mildly left of center with regards to bias/bend of their content. They do feel pretty decidedly anti-Trump with regards to their coverage/content, which is probably why you get a lot of Trump supporters who feel they are so far left.

why Trump is Bad
Don't mind if I do.
1) China policy was shite. WE paid the tariffs (thats you too, trumpets)
2) his cabinet picks were not qualified for their offices, they were hand picked to destroy said office, to fleece and yes, rob America of its resources from within (energy, Treasury, education)
3) his foreign policy was shite. Talk tough to our Allies while cozing up to our actual enemies. (Soviets, N Korea, etc)
4) he's a socialist. Tgats right dumbasses. He's A corporate socialist. Hand outs to corporations and his family.
5) Also, he's a Soviet asset. Thats right - bought and paid. All is businesses are propped up by Soviet oligarchs. He's Putin's bitch
6) my favorite, he and Moscow Mitch has practically burned the constitution. Specially the turtle, who is married to a Chinese communist with ties to, you guessed it, Chinese communist s!
How's that? You need more, because y'all are some dumbasses mofos.
Oh, by the way, I have second amendment rights too, with guns to go with that (amirite!!!!)

I agree with you, but my point was that both sides can be brainwashed by nonsense. I wasn't arguing reach.
