I don't see anyof those organizations as straight up the middle news. I don't believe that exists anymore, but I think it's a huge untapped market. I know I'd watch personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to start a fight...honestly...but do you think a magazine started by a Democrat/Politician who ran NYC and ran for President presents the news straight up? I'd say this if it was called Trump magazine etc too. I won't even get started on the AP. I mean this slide is so messed up it's hilarious.

To the slide's credit, it's three years old, but nah...not even close to accurate IMO.😂 You'd have to question the biases of the folks creating the graphic and wonder if Bloomberg funded the project.

On the surface, it seems reasonable. If you dive deeper, there can be all sorts of issues. Are the majority of these people based in a certain city or state and likely to lean one way? What if you have far left balanced by moderate right? An independent who habitually leans left? Was the methodology created to appear neutral yet hide bias? Make certain outlets appear a certain way? It reminds me of an advertising technique. Let's say you Google best vacuums and the first ad comes up and promotes a certain brand yet the seemingly objective review is paid for by that brand. In today's day and age, you can't take anything at face value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just something to think about.... In other news, anyone following the gas crisis in the UK? Up to 90% of stations may go dry by today. A shortage of truck drivers caused panic buying and now they have a serious mess on their hands. I shudder to think what would happen if that occurred here. Hard to imagine a modern society where we can't keep the electricity on or the gas pumps full. https://www.itv.com/news/2021-09-23/hgv-driver-shortage-bp-poised-to-ration-fuel-deliveries-amid-supply-problems https://news.yahoo.com/uk-gas-stations-running-dry-094635861.html Great analysis of the conditions that led up to this- https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/What-Experts-Are-Getting-Wrong-About-The-UK-Energy-Crisis.html In the last year, we have seen TX and CA with major supply issues, now the UK and China. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-power-crunch-spreads-shutting-060437092.html Make sure you have a generator, or at least some firewood, as we head towards winter.

I've not bothered to try and understand why this designation was argued in U.S. court instead of a court in Columbia. But, either way, it's a head scratcher. Is there not a better way to protect the rights of the hippo than to declare them 'people'? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
