Nope. @Whithers

2021-01-01 04:28:44 UTC  

No, Fox is centrist and NTD, Newsmax, OANN, and some others are conservative.

2021-01-01 04:28:57 UTC  

A number of former lefties have testified that they lived in a leftist bubble where they were actually unaware of another viewpoint, or at least the rationale for it.

2021-01-01 04:28:58 UTC  

The extremists want to assert their supremacy of being so much more enlightened than everyone else.

2021-01-01 04:28:59 UTC  

Disagree.

2021-01-01 04:30:03 UTC  

And yet I showed you a study that showed that it wasn't.

@Philip R You'll get used to the smuggled-in intended pejoratives.

2021-01-01 04:30:31 UTC  

With flawed methodology, as I've pointed out numerous times.

2021-01-01 04:30:42 UTC  

Also you've never even really watched fox news.

2021-01-01 04:30:59 UTC  

Because you say so?

2021-01-01 04:31:00 UTC  

Fox doesn't think owning a business should be punishable by death - they're far right

2021-01-01 04:31:15 UTC  

wat

2021-01-01 04:31:37 UTC  

Pretty sure the claim was right wing.

2021-01-01 04:31:43 UTC  

Stop straw manning.

2021-01-01 04:32:18 UTC  

Profit is not a synonym for theft - far right status confirmed

2021-01-01 04:32:19 UTC  

Scientific method is a method only where it is in practice by those that are scientists by profession instead of scientific as a secular theology. Scientific method is a practice by professional scientists and a religious right by religious scientists.

What is factually true is something about reality observed and recorded by multiple witnesses as a reliable and reoccurring event. Objectivity does not exist because no one can observe from outside of their self. No thought can take place which is not subject to the self. Objectivity cannot exist.

2021-01-01 04:32:34 UTC  

Keep up the ridiculous strawmans I guess.

2021-01-01 04:32:43 UTC  

You choose to be wrong. Not the first time. 😉

2021-01-01 04:33:16 UTC  

I don't actually claim to be right about everything. I'm open to being wrong, but in this case, I'm almost positive I'm not.

2021-01-01 04:34:51 UTC  

You have to remember that, in some constructs, saying things often enough makes them real.

2021-01-01 04:35:06 UTC  

You never really explained (apart from some vague assertions) how it was supposedly flawed. And you said that it showed Fox to be centre left, which it didn't.

2021-01-01 04:35:18 UTC  

That certainly seems to have worked out for you.

2021-01-01 04:35:38 UTC  

Indeed. My reality has been looking better each day.

2021-01-01 04:35:51 UTC  

How's yours going?

2021-01-01 04:36:10 UTC  

Does it often get better when you don't take your medication

2021-01-01 04:36:17 UTC  

Well, keep reading Marx and Engels all the way through the gulag.

2021-01-01 04:36:34 UTC  

It won't be me in the gulag. Sorry for your luck.

2021-01-01 04:36:55 UTC  

Useful idiots are the first people shot when the revolution takes place.

I have, numerous times. Negative/positive feedback about a candidate doesn't mean left/right.

12.5 million doses distributed, just under 3 million administered ... going at this very slow here, virus is infecting folks faster than we're administering the vaccine

If you're making a distinction between science and scientism, I think I agree.
"Scientific method is a practice by professional scientists and a religious right by religious scientists."
"Right" or "rite"? And why can't a professional scientist also be a religious scientist, depending on what you mean by that?

2021-01-01 04:38:05 UTC  

@Philip R, you just advanced to level 5!

2021-01-01 04:39:45 UTC  

@meglide That seems *expected though. It's a zero sum game. It will tip, eventually.

2021-01-01 04:40:00 UTC  

Yeah, Rite, Ritus, not dexter. And many professional scientists are both. Richard Dawkins certainly fits that mold. Which is why for him consciousness does not exist.

2021-01-01 04:40:15 UTC  

Everyone that doesn't support Trump is a RINO, or a leftie by this logic. It's actually **ridiculous**.

2021-01-01 04:40:23 UTC  

Not really, only vaguely. I'm still not sure what you're claiming, but the point is that it treated Trump even-handedly, unlike the other media it looked at. That doesn't suggest that Fox is of the right, unless you're saying that being on the right makes you fair (which is an argument I would be sympathetic to).

2021-01-01 04:41:01 UTC  

Now, but that does cover 97% and 3% is the acceptable outlier to be disregarded in scientific methodology.

2021-01-01 04:41:06 UTC  

The scientific method is hard, unbiased logic. Is theory verifiable, can it be reproduced and lead to same results? Why the world is accepting Communism is as troubling as spending years trying to defeat it.

2021-01-01 04:41:06 UTC  

You're using this to somehow link causation to Fox news not being right wing though, keep that in mind.

2021-01-01 04:41:06 UTC  

romney was a rino before trump got elected
