You keep saying this like it's a self-evident fact, but you still wont tell us where we can find our perfectly neutral non-cuckist news from - at least you haven't told us yet. Perhaps you'll tell us now eh?DaveDodo007 wrote:Also quoting lefty/liberal MSM is not proof you are right as it just shows you listen and believe anything they tell you.
Seems to me that you have a cognitive bias of your own against any news item that doesn't fit the reality you'd like to subscribe to, that is; you dismiss any and every news item that doesn't cast Trump in wholly glowing terms. That's hardly surprising - you're a TRUE BELIEVER, you don't need facts or evidence or non-partisan reporting, comment or analysis, you just need to BELIEVE - you just need FAITH.
Watch this short video and tell us that you don't subscribe and parrot all the misconceptions that Trumpeteers assume about the world in which they live.
Of course, Trumpeteers can easily avoid this by deploying the get-out-of-jail-free card: that this is just more bias from the bias "MSM", the proof of which is that it's from the MSM and therefore it's biased. If you are looking to test your arguments isn't it about time you started making some?
And what do you check them against exactly? The innate irony of your charge is not lost here btw.DaveDodo007 wrote:Conformation bias is just that, I could just as easily post Fox News, Daily Mail, Breitbart etc, and then claim look what these have printed which proves I'm right. Though I'm not gullible so I don't and always check the sources of any of the MSM.
US unemployment has halved under Obama, and the trend it downwards. Didn't you get the memo, or did you simply dismiss it because it was delivered by the reviled MSM? Immigration has fallen too since 2008, but that doesn't fit with a Trumpeteers sacred BELIEFS, so they like to raise the spectre of the supposed countless illegal immigrants and base their views on an unevidenced assumption: that despite falling rates of immigration its better to presume the numbers are actually increasing because we can all imagine that they are. As for warmongering, it takes two to tango you know, and if we accept that armed conflict reflects a failure of diplomacy they really it's down to Trump and his team to be cautious and diplomatic for the sake of peace. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much of that at the moment does there? No, if there's is a war--and I predict there will be, because every despotic leader likes to wave his dick about--it will be everyone else's fault but Trump's - and you can take that to the bank my friend.DaveDodo007 wrote:My fear is Trump will get ground down by the political establishment just like Obama was. Though he has already run a sword through political correctness and identity politics, good those ideas need to be marginalized. He has also given a green light to giving offense (giving offense should be both a right and a duty to all citizens.) Being able to give offense has been the biggest contribution to human progress and the enlightenment. Now I want to see controlled immigration, jobs and less warmongering. Anything else would be a bonus.
