      I watch enough cable news to know that they don’t take the extremism on the right seriously enough. And they’re too chicken shit to call it out 90% of the time because then they’ll look biased. They try to attack the left over literally anything to appear impartial.

      I pay attention to politics. And I notice the shit that happens that gets ignored.

        I think it’s because the corporate media supports corporate status quo of corporate politicians on both sides.

        They manufacture culture wars when a real leftist starts to get their message out, for example the millionaire cable news hosts called out Bernie for having a million dollars after he wrote a New York Times best seller. lol, wtaf.

        That’s one small example, but the corporate cable news doesn’t want us to see past R good D bad, or vice versa.

        We actually have a lot more in common than we realize. Every body is pissed pff about money in politics, for example.
