    The difference is that their political bias is unknown to me, as mine is to them.

    Secondly, my taking a lib's photo isn't "supporting" them. I'm not doing anything to help them spread their vile message...

    I can't believe I'm the first one to say this in this thread, but learn to code.

    Trump didn’t earn being accused of being a Russian spy. He didn’t earn lies about peeing on women. He didn’t earn being called a racist or Xenophobic or Homophobic. Those are lies spewed by the MSM and insane Democrats. I don’t have empathy for journalists and media who purposely try to destabilize our population or hurt the economy for politics.

    Yes, you are. It's used for advertising their product and service. And yes, you do know their bias. You are just
    ignoring it for monetary gain. I worked in your industry for 20 years. You know.

    That constant criticism will get Trump re-elected as well as getting the Republicans a majority in the House and a bigger one in the Senate.

    So, you admit that if you don't kiss Trump ass, he will and SHOULD deprive you of jobs, and life itself, unless you get with the program, and fast. SICK. SICK SICK.

    Everything you mention here is untrue. You stereotype 'media' in order to support your very biased political perspective.

    Most all news outlets provide facts...period! I guess you would prefer to have no facts, no information?

    BTW; you do realize your local newspapers are also 'media'?? Have fun when all of them are out of business.

    The dumbest thing above is your belief freedom of speech should be limited and/or edited. Do you even know or care why the US is the best nation in the world...freedom of speech! FREEDOM!! Freedom of speech is what allows YOU to spew your nonsense here on PF!

    Lastly, if some people panic when hearing news facts, the PROBLEM IS NOT the news...it is the people...

    Is that why Trump and his team lied about meeting Russian officials.

    Hell the POTUS tried to be positive and optimistic while wearing a USA ball cap. Look what the scummy left did to him for that.

    I read all my news, don’t want anything except the WH briefings. I can’t stand so called news anchors adding their bias to a story with their mannerism and delivery.

    They are responsible to try and present the info objectively if they want to be taken serious as journalist. The majority do not.

    And using caps to try and drive home a point just reflects your own self doubt the point has much validity. Same thing as yelling in a verbal argument. If the point is valid, no need to yell it.
    Unless your a teenager then yeah, all caps words are cool!

    So?? Unless they’re doing something illegal you can meet with anyone. Obama and Hillary used foreign nationals to illegally dig up dirt on Trump. Obama used the govt to illegally investigate a political rival for Hillary without any actual evidence. Your point?

    This would be more enjoyable if you were even just a little smarter.

    If someone who's a liberal comes to me and hires me to shoot his portrait, I shoot it, he pays me and we're done.

    No discussion of politics whatsoever. It's a non-issue.

    And you clearly have no idea what portraits are used for. I've shot portraits for a terminal cancer patient who wanted a nice portrait displayed at her funeral. I've taken portraits for people who want nice photos of themselves for social media and dating sites. The list is damn near endless...

    We have a moderately large local newspaper. If it went out of business by lunch, I wouldn't care. I haven't actually seen a copy of it in two years...

    Clearly not because it only took a few days for everyone to demand a check because they can't buy food.

    And?

    95% of Trump's administration is behind the camera but the left hates them all the same.

    Newsflash:

    The stimulus is to help Americans who are in need in this crisis. It is not there to reward Trump lackeys or punish his detractors. This is OUR money to give away, not Trump's.

    Now, why am I not surprised that you fail to see this distinction?

    Get woke, go broke

    Right-wing media is thriving.

    Face it, people just don't want the garbage the left-wing media is selling.

    The world owes nobody anything. But it's nice that the $1200 checks are going to go out.
