      Wow! Why so much hate?

      There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

        Probably because he's a womanizer who thinks women are only good for being sexualized objects on camera and a piece of ass. Oh, let's not forget that wholesale misrepresentation and lying about everything is somehow called "reporting the news".

                  Oh, I'm not saying CNN is innocent. All the news outlets put their own spin on everything. Faux News sets the standard for "Fact checking? What's that?" by telling the truth about 3% to 22% of the time, depending on the study. MSNBC is nearly as bad. CNN actually gets shit right about 40 to 50% of the time. No, I don't get my information and news from any single source. I try to get the news from multiple sources and do my own research and fact checking.

                          All my notes are at home and I'm at work right now. For a more "general" record you can look at the TV statements at PunditFact[^]. Just look under the TV menu for others. I like them because they include all of their sources in their evaluations. Makes it easy to see what they were looking at, read those sources yourself, and hunt down others they may have missed or left out. For a more topic specific look, Science or Spin?: Assessing the Accuracy of Cable News Coverage of Climate Science (2014) | Union of Concerned Scientists[^] is a nice look, complete with research data and methodology documentation.

                                Yeah, heaven forbid there should be a different point of view presented to the public. The left only wants to silence opposition rather than debate it in the arena of ideas.

                                  No politics. Just the death of a manipulative, womanizing hate-mongerer that has scarred American politics and intelligence for the foreseeable future.

                                    The right has dominated the media for years. They use it to whine about how the left is dominating it. But Faux News (note the title) presented little to no actual news, but rather, vitriolic propaganda. Repeated over and over and over and over. Facts? Proof? Well - they're not presenting news so they're not held to that standard. They just present their sh^t as news.

A very left wing idea? Then I pity the right.

                                      I would prefer burning down every journalism class room and rebuilding from scratch with a heavy emphasis on research and ethics.

                                      Yeah, back in the day it seemed that ~85% of news was fact based reporting (ie. this is what has happened) and the remainder was opinion based editorials (ie. this is what we / I think about what happened). Now days the percentages have flip flopped. X|

                                          No politics. Just the death of a manipulative, womanizing hate-mongerer that has scarred American politics and intelligence for the foreseeable future.
