If you wish to repudiate the Republican candidate, we are listening. But right now the circumstantial evidence puts you in his corner.

Welcome to the Star Chamber.

My comments in this thread were clearly aimed at the media and how the media has obviously thrown in with the Dems. If you want to "see tacit acceptance", non-denial, or anti-anti Trump support - a destination that can only be reached by inserting your own bias and kicking reason straight to the curb - then have at it.

I'll bet dodgeball was your favorite sport in school.

I confess that I only subscribe to the WashPost but if anything they tend to lean rightward since Bezos bought it. E.J. Dionne is about the sole liberal left on their OpEd page. When I see other papers quoted here and elsewhere there is little of the left bias you write of, if anything the media has been so spooked by all these claims of 'liberal bias' they tend to go easy on the right wing for fear of criticism.

However did they get the title of 'the right' because they are wrong so often?

Where has Whell claimed to be for Trump? I haven't seen it between the lines of his posts. This support has been alleged so often by others that it may appear to some that he does support The Donald.

Upon hearing about the NC bombing I immediately thought of you posting this.

Read the post you quoted again.

I'm not dodging anything. If you recall, the topic of the thread was an article about the debasing of politics in the US. Its wasn't about engaging in your flights of fancy or speculation about which candidate someone might/might not support.

Looks like you're, uh, not right. In fact, a Pew Survey of opinions on the media, folks ranked WaPo right up there (down there?) with HuffPo as the "preferred" news source of lefties. Now, the survey was taken about a year after Bezos closed the deal on WaPo, so things "may have" moved since then.

But, to your other point, if you look at the list of WaPo opinion writers, it hardly reads like a who's who of conservatives, though there are a few who might be described as "institutional" conservatives (Will, Cohen, etc.).

Huff is really far out there near to "Pravda".

Huffpo definitely has a bias, but otherwise is a reliable news aggregator.
Unlike Pravda and Breightbart for example.
