    Fox News is destroying CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the Communist News Networks. in viewership. If they want more of the pie, they would support Trump. The idea that any of them like Trump is absurd. They were doing everything they could to get Trump impeached...Hiring Brennen and Klapper is just an example of this. Throw in Sharpton with that.

    The media has already lost all credibility with anybody but the faithful. They don't care she's a moderate. They didn't care about Biden's skeletons. He is simply not the Republican and they will vote for him because of that. I don't think Kamala Harris brings anything to the table.

    Further I think the media is sabotaging Biden. They say he's guaranteed the win. When they do this Democrat voters don't show up, and Republicans do.

    I'm more worried about the Republicans then anything else. Right now they have a flamboyant mouthpiece and Trump it takes focus off of everything they're doing. I'm not a fan of our previous Republican president and he represented the more mainstream Republican politician. Trump is an outsider maybe even hated by the Insiders. That was the swap we elected him to drain.

    Democrats are going to Democrat.

    And, that's just the real short list.
    She wants to tax the general population middle class trillions of dollars.
    She wants to raise corporate tax rates from 21% to 35% which will again devastate the manufacturing and pharma companies chasing them back to China, India, Russia and so on.
    She wants to ban fracking, oil drilling and coal mining that will kill the jobs in Penn., Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and every other blue state in the north.
    She more than supports the 100 trillion dollar green new deal.
    She co-sponsored that bill with AO-C.
    She called Biden basically a racist
    She put blacks away based on the 1994 crime bill that has hurt blacks
    She prosecuted minor marijuana crimes while smoking the stuff herself

    There's a lot more!

    The media shouldn't be supporting anybody they should be reporting the damn news. Fox news has mainstream media just like CNN and they are not to be trusted. They're just the other side of the coin. They are popular right now because they happened to be on the anti-establishment side. That is a fickle thing.

    I don't remember watching Fox news George Bush was in office. I do remember mainstream media saying how stupid he was, but mainstream media is stupid for saying that because it was clearly an act.

    The press was supposed to be the watchdog not a lap dog.

    It's okay for media sources to be biased, it's when they lie about their bias that it's a problem.

    If they dump him, they lose the white male vote in an eyeblink, and the nearly-extinct-but-valiantly-hanging-on (*lowers voice*) Blue Dogs who thought Joe was a moderate. They know who they are. The silent fearful Old Guard who believed what their party told them but now can't bring themselves to capsize the life-raft and swim off on their own.

    It does seem fitting that all those people who worked so hard to get Joe to leave his basement should now get to watch him get his ancient ass stomped into a mud puddle over his sexist racist idiocy. After the kids finally understand how Harris would treat them under her own power SHOULD bring out a backlash even the DNC can control.

    To summarize, if it don't bleed, then lead with Trump....yes? Okay, fair enough. He's the one at the big desk. But when it's media focus on Trump and forget mistakes caused by the left...well, watch those scribes scramble, oozing platitudes and weasel words fit for the likes of Chaucer or ol' Shakey Bill himself.

    I saw this and bolded it after I wrote the above. I respectfully submit the Blue Dogs know their boat is sinking, but are honorable partisans and must not be blamed for steadfastness.

    Which candidate and VP would generate the most media stories is maybe not the right question, but the real one is, under Biden they'd be such lapdogs they could all keep regular hours and just reprint what they're given. I cannot make up my mind how they'll roll.

    If it's leftists making the news they simply deny it. Riots are nothing but protest. Organized crime syndicates provoking the riots are nothing but protesters.

    This is a game every newspaper reader or blog reader should ask themselves. If it's OK to name a Republican in the lede (first paragraph) of a news story, then why are these same thoroughly honest upright defenders of journalist impartiality so SLOW in mentioning a Democrat?

    The name of this actual existing game is Name That Party. It's the media running cover for other Dems.

    Did I hear you say you are not an American, that might excuse you fallacious statement above. You really should check these things about my country before you post them being a foreigner and all.

    Probably someone has made the point to you already; I didn't read the whole tread but she is not half white. She is half Indian (as in India, the Asian country) and half black.

    Do you have any photos of her ancestors slaves?

    They owned over 200.

    Poor Sambo, he was already an old man at age 40. :no:

    Begs the question as to how many slaves were owned by Pence's ancestors.

    Got any photos of them to share?

    This is the same woman who tried to hype up a non existent white supremacist threat and the FBI called her out on her BS. Now imagine if Trump tried to falsely claim a rise in new Black Panther members (I'll spare you the thought, he didn't). Undoubtedly you'd say "More proof that Trump's a racist.".

    Between her open bigotry, blatantly ripping off Elizabeth Warren's campaign ideas and overall being a dick, she's the most disliked person this side of Donald Trump.

    Start your research here....

    Michael Richard Pence was born June 7, 1959, in Columbus, Indiana, one of six children of Ann Jane "Nancy" (née Cawley) and Edward Joseph Pence Jr.,[8][9] who ran a group of gas stations.[10][11] His father served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and received the Bronze Star in 1953, which Pence displays in his office along with its commendation letter and a reception photograph.[12] His father was of German and Irish descent and his mother is of Irish ancestry.[13] His paternal grandfather, Edward Joseph Pence, Sr., worked in the Chicago stockyards.[14] Pence was named after his maternal grandfather, Richard Michael Cawley, who emigrated from County Sligo, Ireland, to the United States through Ellis Island, following an aunt and his brother James, and became a bus driver in Chicago, Illinois.[15][16][17][18] His maternal grandmother's parents were from Doonbeg, County Clare.[19][20]

    I haven't seen bigotry from her at all. She's being praised as a great choice. Maybe not on this forum, but among dems I know.
    Ideas are not 'owned'. If something is good, it should be done, I don't care who originates it, unless it's a work of art, that's different.
    Would you care to be specific on 'bigotry'?

    I don't have to imagine anything about Trump, he's the worst president in history, and one of the dumbest.
