OT: What Is Happening At The White House?

I do make it a point to watch Tucker Carlson. He is by far the most fair commentator out there. He is just as critical of Republicans as he is Democrats
His book "Ship of Fools" is a must read kev

I dont watch Hannity I try to catch Laura Ingraham radio program when I'm driving though

Fox news is the most watch by far
I watch Carlson on YouTube. He’s great. Honestly tries to let the other side explain and defend itself. Because of that he has many good two way discussions.

I never actually watch Fox News or any of the others. I like to be entertained in the evening, not aggravated.

Carlson has become just another partisan hack for Fox news when I've watched him.
 
Not even close? What makes you think that? You think that lefties don’t get the exact same routine from CNN, MSNBC, and the other networks? Or do you not notice that because you assume those networks are right? Too funny.

I know some of my liberal - Sociaist fellow posters with come out with the Fox News usual comments.
However, I religiously make it a point to watch Levine every Sunday night. If one listens with an open mind, it is like Taking a graduate course given by some outstanding intellects.
There is no shouting or putting down guests, but rather asking his / her views and opinions and then Letting the guest give his views on the subject under discussion.
Tonight’s guest was George Gilder one of the World’s leading experts on technology and technology
Of the future. He covered his views on Capitalism, Socialism, the internet, the Cloud, and the newest
and future technology crypto which I am trying very hard to completely understand.
However, Gilder believes that the only way to grow the world economy is create more and more wealthy People, who create bigger and bigger businesses, which in turn create more wealthy people, who it turn, Create more business , more jobs etc, etc.
He also gave a great example of why social programs fail. He gave guaranteed student loans as an example. They were designed to help students, But what they did was help Universities , who took the money, raised tuition,, so the colleges got richer, the patents got poorer, and the students got stuck
With Hugh debts.
Levine has a really great show !
 
Another week starting, another week of Donnie Dotard. Stay tuned for this new hit comedy!

He has the best show on television. Watch it. You might learn something.
Tell us what is to learn from his show? I can sum it up like this. He invites someone on to argue, shout them down after they provide a valid argument back, insult them and when annoyed presents high pitched laughter like a maniac. Care to prove me wrong?

Lmao the guest was dodging the questions, and was and not wanting to confront some uneasy truths, but she's in good company the right that face Tucker

His facial expressions are because most his guess responses are confusing.
Ding, ding, ding...we have found ourselves a Tucker fanboy. He's awkward as all get out. He's the epitome of I'll ask a dishonest question and not like your honest reply. It's obvious he's in that time slot as he's comparable to that blowhard O'Reily.
 
What about him? A. I never told anyone go watch him to "learn something". B. Watch Bill Maher interview Ben Shapiro, he was highly respectful.
I seldom watch the show, but I think Maher is a pretty bright guy, even though he's very smug. And he will be respectful of some guests. He was very respectful of John Bolton earlier this year in one show I watched. But the whole show concept bugs me. He has a line up at the desk of all liberals and one conservative, and it's like the conservative is on trial. Just kind of gets old. I appreciate that, like O'Reilly used to do, he will call out his own side of the aisle when he thinks they're being stupid. Years ago I used to go the gym at night, so I saw O'Reilly quite a bit. Arrogant big mouth, which seems to be the model for nighttime cable news, but I think he's another bright guy.

While I agree the same can be said for every host on; Fox, CNN and MSNBC. Getting news from any of those places is one step up from the National Enquirer.

The challenge today is where to get real TV news, just the story facts, no spin, no slant. Possible on a local level, but may be inpossible on a national level. In print, WSJ might be a possibility.

Difference between Fox and the other cable news providers is from the time slow of 5-10p you see 1 journalist on TV.

yea, it's nearly impossible. What I find most disturbing is not the outright bias some networks/show have but the subtle bias. They'll run news reports that are, for the most part, accurate but never air similar stories that might hurt "their side".

The media like to hold themselves up as a pillar of democracy but the reality is they are more responsible for the discord in this country than the politicians themselves.... because it's good for ratings.

And yet his book is #1NYT Best seller.
BTW I said I make it a point to watch Tucker I didn't tell anyone to watch him.......I'm in the free will party
 
By the way... Ted Koppel was dead accurate a the National Press Club. The major cable stations are 24x7x365 Donald Trump. As Koppel said, "maybe if the death toll in Indonesia reaches 1,000 MSNBC might give it a mention..."

Fox, CNN and MSNBC are merely communication departments for the GOP and Dems.

Lots of lies of omission in today's press. And many times I watch a newsperson on TV and say to myself, "you cannot be that stupid". And the reality is that they are not that stupid, they know when they are misleading people or being disingenuous. But if it fits the narrative, go for it.

The editorial board is slanted to the left, but the NYT is actually a pretty good source of news (I actually tend to use it for more global news). Trump can rip on it all he wants, but there's a reason he often grants interviews to Maggie Haberman or Peter Baker.

I actually caught the network (ABC/CBS/NBC) nightly news recently the other day and thought it was pretty fair. Maybe because it's a half-hour long so you don't need to add talking heads as filler--but I think if people stuck to just watching that (to the extent they could) it would probably be the most even you can get.

Another Fake libtard......
So statistically speaking Senator Warren has less native American blood in her than an average white American.

The results, as shared with The Boston Globe, reportedly reveal “strong evidence” the Massachusetts senator had a Native American ancestor dating back six to 10 generations.

The absolute best read of this is that she has 1/1024 of a "piece" of native American blood. Worst-case is of course less.

If it's 10 generations back then on the basis of half-life analysis (which is how we rate such things) the actual percentage is zero.

Take some nasty poison -- or radioactive substance. Dilute it by 10 half-lives, which is what you get when genetic mixing is being done too (duh!) and there is not one molecule of said nasty substance left.

In other words after 10 half-lives we don't care if you started with the most-poisonous (or radioactive) substance in the world; after 10 half-dilutions the amount remaining is a literal zero.

Any privilege Warren has obtained or claimed is a fraud and fraud is a crime.

**** you Senator -- you're a fraud and ought to be in prison.
