Being on Trump’s "naughty list" should be read as a badge of honor. Unfortunately, with the FCC's involvement, it could come with real consequences, but you're in good company in a spiritual sense if you're ruffling his feathers.

I agree with Trump... this left/Democrat bias, including subtle, covert and deniability-framed bias, needs to stop for any organization that gets to brand itself a "news" organization with all the benefits of the "free press" including all 1st Amendment rights.

I don't want any content producer silenced or banned, but those that are not focused on journalistic codes of conduct, and are pushing a political agenda, they should not be categorized as news organizations. Just like The Present Age is not a news organization.

There were many, many ways to frame that comment so that it did not take a disingenuous swipe at Trump. It is like being anti-Micheal Phelps and writing that he had mixed results in his Olympic events having come in third in two or three of them.

The real news isn't a place we should allow upset liberals to keep taking pot shots at the politicians they don't like.

Oh, how I wish this comment was satire...

Goodness, without Fox News, OANN, Newsmax, Sinclair, and Clear Channel, how are you going to manage to stay informed?

Well not from any of that since I don't watch any of that. I do listen to news talk radio and podcasts, but mostly read. I subscribe top Ground News, as well as the NYT, WSJ and the S.F. Chronicle and many magazines. Most of all that is severally Democrat biased and supporting and anti-Trump, including the WSJ that has taken' that turn. Mostly, I read books and Substack.

And please do not make me make the list of all the network programming that is left-biased. I don't want to embarrass you for your inane attempt.

at the risk of being insulted by the unbiased here, but if there is a left and a right point of view, what are they? left is generally helping people and being empathetic to their plight, and right is leaving them to sicken and suffer as consequences of their own doing. So it's weird to consider them equal types of opinions that each deserve protection against bias. It's like saying to a sick person, I'd like to help you get well, and consider that bias against the illness. I just can't decide if it's absurd or insane.
