ever been here?
Nope, I'm just comparing content on the front page of Fox News vs. CNN. There is same pattern repeating itself across whole world. And I'm looking which US presidents had college degree and which didn't.

Details are obviously different from a country to a country, but general bias is urbanites vs. provincials, or high density population vs. low density population.

As Above So Below

No Labels approves plan for a third-party candidate to take on Biden and Trump in the 2024 presidential race: Bipartisan group races to find unity ticket to take on Biden and Trump in November

No Labels have voted to move forward with putting a third-party in the 2024 race in could hurt President Joe Biden's re-election campaign, but have not yet found a name to put on the ticket.

Around 800 delegates from the bipartisan group unanimously approved the plan for a 2024 'unity ticket' to take on Biden and Donald Trump in November at a virtual gathering on Friday.

But they now face a time crunch to pick a nominee, with many state deadlines to get on the general election ballot rapidly approaching.

The group said it will now be 'accelerating' its search for a candidate as concerns grow that a third-party candidate could swipe votes from Biden.

The decision comes after three big names already told the group no: Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, former Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin.

You are getting the message that is being delivered, that's for sure. I wouldn't take it entirely to heart; any decent lie contains mostly truth and there is some in those generalizations. I think the whole intent behind these past several years has been to have us at each other's throats and distracted and it's working.

At one time CNN had credibility but not anymore. They're no different than MSNBC or FOX really. All shoveling bullshit of different flavors. Two really, seems to me CNN and MSNBC have become state media organs. The king always has a fine suit of clothes, an excuse for literally everything and an enemy to demonize. FOX news has waaaaay hotter anchors therefore they are clearly more interesting.

They killed 1200 people and raped the **** out of how many? Even the UN sees that, and then took hostages that are still being abused, if alive.
That not a good enough reason for their excessive response.
You know why nobody ever really screwed with the Soviets? Because they just come in and kill the **** out of everything. There's a lesson in there worth noting.
That's not a justification.
Now we're setting up some sort of humanitarian corridor. Great. Get out the kiddies and then bulldoze the rest into the sea -
You realize that that is supporting the abduction of children so that you can justify killing their parents in an ethnic cleansing ( if not genocide ).
they'll be back in a few years with grudges and lust for revenge fully honed. Let Eqypt and the rest in the area worry about the displaced, they have enough of our money to spend doing so. Oh, I see, Egypt is building a wall. I guess they don't look at this as 'newcomers fleeing oppression', asylum seekers and future political base. What do you think their reaction would be to such illegals killing their citizens and committing crimes, beating up police officers? They wouldn't have to pass a new law, something tells me they still have some of the Pharaohs edicts on file that are still applicable.
I support your freedom of speech — but maybe you need to consider the issues with a little more humanitarianism . . .

Ilan Pappé isan Israeli historian and professor at the University of Exeter who known for his outspoken views on the Israeli-Palestinian question - drawing both praise and criticism. He’s the author of several books including "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine", in which he challenges the traditional Israeli narrative over the establishment of Israel in 1948.

In Gaza now, it’s worse than ethnic cleansing | Centre Stage​

There was a sharp change in US legacy media industry, first after Vietnam war back in 60s - 70s, second after social media revolution when Trump was elected without support of legacy media. During Vietnam war there was practically no censorship.

Israel's overcompensation for Palestinian attacks is well known.
But if you say anything — suddenly you're an antisemitic holocaust denier.
This time though — I don't think they're going to be able to hide their atrocities behind their own persecution.
In mind I look at Oct 7 as the final straw. Even pretending that the previous 100 years of hostilities didn't exist, what happened on Oct 7 made Nentenyahu snap and say "enough is enough" and go all in on this war. Hamas are terroristic cockroaches that actually enjoy & thrive on killing, dismembering women, children, raping, dragging corpses through the street, little children to grown men firing AK-47's into the sky for celebration, killing with smiles on their faces etc. etc.

The tit-for-tat responses accomplish nothing much like the U.S. & U.K.'s navy's accomplish nothing near the Red Sea. They need to shoot the archer - not the arrow. Hamas could have ended the entire thing in one day if they released the hostages. But at this point Israel is like "hostages or no hostages - we're stopping. You do not have any bargaining chips. You are a terror organization backed by Iran - you have no legitimate government or armed forces. And we are not shaking hands & making peace. Iran & Hamas' goal is to wipe out Israel. I also like how no Arab state will take the Palestanian's - what does that say? If you're all the same people/religion - let them come into your country.

Now Israel has to go door to door looking for cockroach terrorists & eliminate them. There should be world wide outrage that they use hospitals & schools as headquarters. Rockets & weapons stuffed in or behind MRI machines. This is extreme to say but if I was Israel I would have (soon after Oct 7) dropped leaflets saying that you have 48 hours to get out of Gaza & whether you are gone or not, tactical nuclear weapons are going to be dropped. We do not have the time or resources to conduct a building to building, door to door, checking thousands of tunnels etc. to get rid of Hamas. We also know that no matter what, a two state solution will never happen. Not when one side are terrorists on motorcycles & paragliders killing with glee and whos credo is to kill Israel & the U.S.

There would be a chance if you had two valid governments saying "Ok, this is ridiculous - lets make peace". But unfortunately one side brainwashes their new-borns all through childhood to hate & kill Jews. That's why you can watch videos of 5-6 year olds acting out scenes (practicing) how to ambush a Jewish person and stab them in the right places to kill them.

Israel knows that if they end what they're doing now it would just mean in a matter of days or weeks headlines of "Rockets fired into Israel.". Iran needs to be punished so that their pain rolls downhill to their little gangster/terror klans that they fund. But good thing we gave Iran $6 billion dollars. And it's a shame that we have some of the most advanced weapons & delivery systems in the world but are afraid to use them against Iran & the Houthis. They know Biden is a wimp/pushover so they just keep attacking ships & warships with impunity. A bunch of guys running around with dresses & sandals are causing major disruption of global shipping and we just there doing nothing. Again, don't shoot the arrow - shoot the archers. Quit being so afraid of what the world thinks.

Remember the good old days when we considered crossing the border illegally and killing people an invasion?

Smaller scale, about the same place. Punitive Expedition, U.S. Army
If I were in charge I'd have the border states Nation Guard on the border with simple rules; you see anybody, whether by themselves in or a group penetrating our border illegal, then you open fire. As soon as they step foot on our side of the border you are breaking the law & we don't have the time, money, resources etc. to ask everyone "Why did you just cross our border illegally?". Shoot to kill - no questions asked. If you want to come here legally like millions of others in the past, then you do the required paperwork & go through a legal entry point. And even then you are not getting free iPhones, housing, medical benefits, a stipend etc. Not when there are homeless veterans & people born in the U.S. sleeping under bridges.

Go Brandon. he'll be reelected.
Trump feeds power to Biden. The obvious weaponization of the legal system against Trump empowers him.

Trump did not do what he said he would - he choked, he failed. He is literally a loser. To paraphrase him 'we don't like losers, we prefer winners'. That from his grotesque comments about John McCain. Making a list of excuses as to why he failed is lame, time to get the **** out. But he can't and here we go again.

it was a mistake to underestimate the Democratic Machine the first time and they are doing so again. The visceral hatred of DT that the State run media has created means that all Biden has to do is use DT's name in a sentence and therefore is never, ever accountable. The Anything-But-trump phenomenon is very real and palpable - many can't even articulate specifically what his crimes supposedly are yet they know he is the literal personification of Evil. More importantly, the Democratic Machine is much, much better at the game that is being played and will probably reinstall that drooling old asshole again.

If for some reason DT gets in, which I admit he might but I doubt, absolutely nothing will get done, we'll have four more years of shrieking and carrying on that will ensure a Democrat back in office in 8 years.
