I don’t even think we really disagree. I’m just willing to assign blame wherever it lies, not just on one side of the political spectrum.

The examples I gave were from some of the oldest legacy media organizations in the country. They were blatantly wrong or biased and there are THOUSANDS more examples where those came from. The links you provided were about sites like Parler and Gab. Sure, there are nuts there, but they’re not the New York Times or WAPO. Not even close.

Objectively, it’s not a right or left issue. It’s a media issue. Don’t let partisanship blind you to the truth.

This is my last post regarding this as well. If you want to continue it in the other section that is fine.

You might be confused with another thread maybe? I don't see any examples from you. You mentioned Vox and Huffpo and thats it. I think we can agree those are not legacy media, nor examples.

I'm not saying there isn't issues on the left, there are, but it pales in comparison to what is happening on the right. Unfortunately, the problem is the right is being radicalized. You can see it online, being reflected in polls, and even see it personally. I do not see the same behavior on the left. Even at the height if Trump's controversy. I didn't see polls showing a growing number of liberals wanting to overthrow the govt or encourage the military to stage a coup. I don't constantly hear liberals talk about someone needing to do something (implying violence) or Jan 6th didn't go far enough.

You mention partisanship, but I don't hate the right, I want them to return to Earth. Hell, I am conservative in a lot of ways, but the Q/stolen election/Trump hero-worship is nuts. The gab and parlour are just where they congregate now. I do agree, it is a media issue. I provided a whole documentary on Amazon discussing the effect right-wing media is having like Fox news and Right-wing radio. I really suggest watching it.

fox-news-watching-what-i-learned

The truth is most Americans agree on just about everything. It is only a few issues that people seem divided over, yet those issues are made to seem like huge uncrossable rivers when they are streams at most.

I never thought I would see something like Jan 6th in my lifetime. I know its downplayed on the right, its minimized, or attributed to antifa etc. But there were some bad actors in that crowd looking to do real harm. If any of those groups had caught Pelosi or the Vice President do you think it would have ended well? I don't. That is not a joke or a LOL moment. It is a warning shot across the bow.

I can't go on there anymore. I don't think anyone is crazy here so I feel more comfortable talking about it. Mostly a collection of assholes, but no crazy.
