Portland and Seattle are so fucked. I just watched The Man in the High Castle, and I was cheering for the Japanese.

So speaking of....loved that show thru the first two seasons...now I'm on season 3 and I'm really having difficulty getting thru it. Have you watched the whole series...have the same experience?

100% agree. What they don’t say shows their bias.

I enjoyed the whole run. It didn't live up to its promise from the beginning, but I didn't have any problem getting through it.

Not sure this obvious screw up (which they paid for it seems) means their reporting on the troll is wrong.

But he's suing people and writing a book, which perhaps the RNC will buy up a lot of copies.

Doesn't seem like a source to be trusted. Maybe if they had a take on rock n roll now and then it could be interesting.

The problem is that the proverbial main stream media are all clearly biased against the President and anyone on the Right. To find anything even remotely positive for the conservative side of the aisle, you have to do some digging.

I agree with you to some extent, but I think it's disingenuous to conflate the kind of bias shown by the Washington Post with sources like the aforementioned Free Beacon.

I also see a lot of people linking to twitter feeds from conservative personalities which hardly qualifies as any type of 'news' IMO. Same for the liberals. People's opinions are twitter aren't news.
