Members ReddFoxx Posted August 24, 2019 Members Share Posted August 24, 2019 Most people who watch news programming are older and older people of course tend to be more conservative. Conservatives also seem to need validation of their opinions from like minded people and that is what Fox News is there for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 24, 2019 Members Share Posted August 24, 2019 How many people under 50 actually still watch cable news? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted August 25, 2019 Members Share Posted August 25, 2019 DJT has permanently killed the idea of the media as objective arbiters, that is for sure. We have nothing but opinion media now. It is just the new reality, and it probably already was, but now it's official. Yuck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 25, 2019 Members Share Posted August 25, 2019 I'm not sure how many people are aware of this 1619 Project (which has conservatives whining and complaining) but this serves as a fairly decent complement to the series. Fortunately, I knew all of this history that's been presented in this piece but only because I either learned either by reading about these events (which family members obliged as education was of paramount importance in my family though we were essentially immigrants) or because I took courses in African American history and culture in college. I remain astonished that this is not a part of a basic primary or even high school education in America. The absence of this history in the curriculum speaks volumes of why the country is in the state it is in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 26, 2019 Members Share Posted August 26, 2019 So this photo seems to be trending on social media right now and it reminds me of the photo of Ivanka sitting next to Trudeau at that meeting that she shouldn't have even been privy to at the time. I'm thinking the Canadian PM should be known as the LL Cool J (Ladies Love Justin) of the North. At least where the Trump women are concerned. Honestly, it wouldn't take much to do a reboot of the soap Capitol. Just create composite characters based on Melanie, uh, I mean Melania and Ivanka as your "cheat code". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted August 26, 2019 Members Share Posted August 26, 2019 *Stephanie Forrester voice* That man is married, Melania. You are such a slut! You made your filthy bed with that pig, now wallow in it! Jesting aside if soap operas weren't so looked down upon nowadays someone would have jumped at a Capitol reboot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 26, 2019 Members Share Posted August 26, 2019 The Trudeau photo reminds me of a recent article about his careful image planning for how he will come across to the world compared to how he is increasingly seen in Canada (especially in terms of faux-feminism). https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/aug/22/justin-trudeau-the-rise-and-fall-of-a-political-brand (I do think the worst is probably over for him) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 26, 2019 Members Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) More and more nervous about Biden...I have a feeling he's going to end up eking out a rough win in the primaries at best with a lot of people staying home in November. And if he doesn't then Warren or Sanders will be a bruised nominee (I'm hoping Sanders won't be the nominee at all as I genuinely do not want to vote for him). https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/26/bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-joe-biden-poll-1475440 Edited August 26, 2019 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 26, 2019 Members Share Posted August 26, 2019 We're going to have a lot of these ups and downs. Remember how Harris spiked after the first debate? Also that poll has a sample size of less than 300 people. I won't get nervous until we see a string of polls with larger sample sizes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 26, 2019 Members Share Posted August 26, 2019 We have a long way to go until Summer 2020. Anything -- and I do mean anything -- can happen between now and then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
