It isn’t in NPR

Anyone can be nominated. I nominated Cray.
Correct. He was nominated. And in light of how it has exploded since his departure it appears he should have won. Yeoman’s work by him and his team (relatives)
And what does this have to do with the great DGPT finish this weekend at the Play It Again Sports Jonesboro Open presented by Westside Discs?
Actually, I think the true danger is thinking that we ever had an unbiased press that wasn't influenced and controlled by a set of influential actors.
Who was it that vetoed the Fairness Doctrine when a replacement for the change in FCC policy passed Congress?
The medium changed so much or was changing so much (fast) the fairness doctrine would have been impracticable. As for influenced prior to I don’t know
People have biases. No doubt. Can’t be otherwise.
But professionals can and do recognize that fact and put in place guardrails and systems (explicit rules or internal methods of thinking) that can neuter those biases. NPR used to be more like that. So too was the NYT. The WSJ reporting is still pretty darn objective. Judges, too, are pretty good at it, by and large, as they should be. And good teachers do a great job of hiding their biases in classrooms.
None might be perfect, but so what? Are we saying that if something isn’t perfect, it’s no better than if it’s completely ignored?
True story: drove by a course yesterday. I pointed it out to my son and said “hey look a disc golf course.” Without missing a beat he said “yeah, I’m not good at frisbees.”
I’ve never been prouder of my son.
And yet that's the thing that Republicans can't get through their head: ANY of the other Republican candidates would have given you 90 to 95% of the same actual policies that Trump puts out there (at least the ones that had a chance of actually being implemented), and likely every one of those candidates would steamroll Joe come November.
But no, Trump has convinced them that ONLY HE can be the one to lead you to the promised land, and as a result, we are going to get four more years of Biden because of it.
I don’t think that’s why the vast majority of people vote Trump. The winning thing is after the fact rationalization.
Generally. But, like anything that has money in it, it's getting more "professional".
Look at this ****ing guy:
The talent is getting better.
Horrible post. DeleteGenerally. But, like anything that has money in it, it's getting more "professional".

Look, you want some crunchy hippie chicks who've kept in some kind of shape?
Bingo.
Brad, as I said in another post this morning we shouldn't blame Trump for the toxic political environment which has been festering and growing for years.
It is easy to blame him because he seems so comfortable and natural being a part of today's toxic politics.
How true.
New York City folks aren't exactly polite, as one finds out when deplaning at JFK.
You might think that as for his policies. As a person and human being, it’s not even close or debatable. Trump has been a horrible human his entire life. No one had a bad word to say about Biden until he became President. Even Lindsey Graham said he was one of the most decent and honest people I’ve ever known in politics. And as good a man as God ever created. Yes, there’s a difference. A huge difference. Anyone who can’t see it is deaf, blind, or ignorant.
so what. policies are all that should matter. that's what impacts tens of millions of people vs your personal feelings. it's hard to believe just how terrible of a president biden is except when you look to the batter's box and see vapid harris standing there (another biden mistake). i'll take a shitty human that helps people over a moron (no indication there's actually anthing good about biden as he's a serial liar) who inadvertently makes everything worse
Yep a lot of people still cannot stand thinking of a woman as President. Too emotional, dontcha know.
Trump deserves plenty of blame for many things. Polarization is one of them (and many in the GOP are happy with that, calling the moderates RINOs).
But the portion of journalists who threw away integrity because they thought Trump so so evil and such a danger did something worse to our country than polarization did/is doing, in my mind.
For example, the comparison to Hitler is just laughably stupid, yet I think many journalists and progressives really believe it (I’ve heard it from otherwise intelligent lawyers and professionals where I live) and think they are “saving democracy” in what they are doing.
None of them realized (and still won’t admit) that the predictable backlash would be “well, they spent the last 4 years calling him Hitler and undermining him, why wouldn’t they cheat to defeat him?”
No one had a bad word to say about Biden? As good a man as God ever created?
Are you kidding me? You surely can’t believe that.
We’ve been over this a million times. No policies aren’t the only things that matter I prefer a leader who is not an international laughing stock. . But I prefer Biden’s policies over Trump’s by a long shot. You’ve told us a million times how Biden ruined the economy and ignore the impact of the pandemic and the fact that we did not go into a recession as everyone was predicting. You like to say anything good was in spite of Biden and I say anything good was in spite of Trump. As I’ve mentioned several times, ACCORDING TO PEOP!E WHO WORKED FOR TRUMP, he was not allowed to do many of the things he wanted to. All of the adults in the room have left him and are begging us not to elect him again. You know, the people who KNOW HIM! about people like you think you know better. There will be no adults in the room this time. Trump will not appoint anyone besides yes men and criminals to help him carry out his revenge tour. In 50 years, the history books will be wondering what the hell people were thinking. I won’t be here to say I fought it every inch of the way, but I’ll sure be saying I told you so.
No, you also said no one had a bad word to say about him. That’s preposterous.
internationally everything is a total mess. you don't think leaders think he's an old buffoon? Harris? hell they don't even bother with meetings with him. certainly don't listen to him. he's a clown. they know it.
you prefer open borders vs remain in mexico? you prefer the millions more coming in to the country under biden? pick an area and the dems under biden have been a total unmitigated disaster. from EV climate bs to defund police to open borders to lockdowns to globally.
it's been demonstrated by the fed etc how biden's pandering to progressives gave rise to the elevated prices we are now stuck with today. he's a vapid blinkard who was co-opted by the progressive left. the pandemic had nothing to do with anything. it was him wanting to give give give in an effort to create lasting cradle to grave benefits. it was god awful policy
he has trannies flashing their tits at the white house. pete home breastfeeding. you think anyone thinks harris and the clan of alphabet misfits are adults?
biden appointed a s.ct. justice who can't tell the difference between a man and a woman.
no one is worse than biden. no one.
Trump enjoys being toxic and confrontational and sadly, so do many of his supporters. He has never once tried to be leader of all the people. He only cares about his base. He came down the escalators talking about rapists and murderers. Never once an attempt to have a positive message. I cannot remember anyone else before him ever thriving on the toxicity .
lol every other word that's intelligible from biden is MAGA in an attempt to disparage half the country. the guy only cares about his base
Lol. I would love to see the White a house memo:
MEMO
To: Pete Buttegieg, Sec of Transportation
From: President Joe Biden
Pete:
Please breastfeed at home. Film it. This is what then country needs right now.
Cc: White House Human Resources; Undersecretary of DEI
You also asked if I truly thought as good a man as God created. That was Lindsey Graham. Biden was the guy from Scranton who rode the subway,. Republican media were concerned he would win in 2020 because , as opposed to the Hillary attacks that had been going on for decades, it was difficult to attack Joe Biden because people liked him and thought he was a good guy. That was an overstatement that no one ever had a bad thing to say, but do you disagree that was the general consensus on Joe Biden before he ran for President?
There you go with the trannies again. There’s no point responding this is all ridiculous bs. And once again shows your obsession with gays and trannies.
Wallowing in the gutter, congratulations . When you can’t think of something funny, one can always get a laugh at the WC by making fun of gay people or trannies. Guaranteed!
Of course it is. His incessant attacks on “maga” are attacking millions of Americans. He is president over. He’s as divisive as anyone. And hell so are the progressives
It was a popular myth in the press, yes. He has an avuncular air.
But he got caught lying—out and out, pure lying— about his resume when he ran in 88 or 92. He’s a lifelong politician who has engaged in the game long enough to not be a great person.
Trump is also a grand liar. No doubt. Not great person. No doubt. You don’t have to go there with me.
Border numbers that will alter the country
Attack on energy leading to gas spikes and ev bs people don’t want
Global affairs
Defund/bail
Lockdowns
Price spikes 40 year high now stuck
This administration has done serious damage - more so than any in my lifetime by a long shot. And every one of these things can be traced to Dem policies
