Can I keep my doctor too <:KermitSip:669943901792108570>

I like how most of his commentary consists of 'Uhh?', 'Why!?', 'What?', 'Okaay?'

he just stopped evaluating the lawsuit because it was making him too stupid

That's where I clicked in to the video.

Then scrubbed back to see how it started off. He progressively became more irritated.

Protesting is fine, going to church is bad

How is it possible that in 2020 we are back to choosing who to give medical lifesaving treatments to based on race.

I'm high on reality. I will never understand how people think they can just switch to more rightwing news and pretend the country shifted left 🤷

Really the overton window hasn't shifted to the far-right. It's been steadily shifting more left due to Trump being such a divisive figure.

Interesting between fleshing out the election process and proving no fraud and Trumps legal team failing to produce results, fake fraud support seems to be waning among informed middle of the road folks. That might be the best we get with many taking queues from Trump not court cases.

I dont see how Newsmax beating out Fox is a leftward shift. Fox is the same as always been and folks saying they sold out to the Democrats. It's odd. Biden beat out remotely progressive candidates and put forth a boring moderate cabinet. I dont see the left doing much more than before. The major beef people seemed to have with Obama is healthcare which was a much further right law than most developed countries use. Or that his policies on national security or drones were far too right.

Well, for one, the US is more further right than most other countries for one. Two: Socialized healthcare in general is a leftward swing for the US. Keep in mind, the US is very different to Britain and Canada for example.

As you can see in the screenshot.

We had greatly reduced corporate tax wealthy tax regulation following Bush. I dont find a partial restoration of that a very left shift. While the right tried to gut unions I always found it curious it was deemed a right leaning platform. Workers having bargaining power leads to greater market freedom. The government stepping in and forcing corporations to give workers more is the left. Neoconservatives abandoned the working class to support CEOs. A much more right leaning stance than their prior views.

It really depends on the Polling and questions asked. Tell me your desired Outcome and I will design questions to achieve that.

Stop looking at things through a narrow scope.

Seems like they used a pretty straight forward question.

I look at things through a broader scope 😂 2000- 2016? What happened to conservativism of 50 years back.

I am not questioning the Merits of that Poll as I am unfamiliar with its Methodology. I am only speaking of how Polls in general can be manipulated.

The Psychology of Polling.

NPR not exactly known for making polls political they are about third behind Gallup and Pew. Trumps throwing the country into chaos seems to be waning. Once a super majority of independents, all the opposing party and support in your own party wanes you have optics issues at the very least. At th beginning we started at what bulk or GOP and even a third of Dems saying we definetely wany more info. Now we are hitting a point many are comfortable with that info.

That's wapo's slogan now 😂 I really dont like how the PR spin establishment dems politics

I believe you missed my point? If you think NPR is not Political you may not be paying attention. People are Political or have Biases. NPR is run by People.

Rightwing media spins their media right and MSM spins their shit right 🤦

Spin is Spin?

NPR is obviously left biased

Ofc people are political they are pretty middle of the road especially in their polling

NPR is very factual and only just slightly left leaning.

It's very close to Reuters.

I find their op eds a little left but it's never been their focus

And almost the same as the AP.

Their position on the Hunter Biden information of the past may be an indication?

Pay attention to my use of "May"....

AP I think might be even a little lefter than NPR solely based on what kinds of questions they might ask political candidates. That may steer the information they are putting out to a degree. You dont see like NPR lobbing softball questions in press briefings.

NPR is about as good as you're going to get for unbiased coverage. Just saying. They're on the same level as Reuters/The AP.
