Regarding the Bannon thing on B2, I just finished an having an argument with one of my partners about this. He is an anti-Trump, staunch republican.

Obviously highly educated and very smart. And in discussing how the media is trying to figure out how to handle coverage of Trump he states that the mainstream media is uniformly staunchly liberal but won't admit its leanings and as a result of their failure to admit their bias they deserve all the attacks that Bannon and the Trumpers are throwing at them. Why? Apparently they never covered Benghazi, they never vetted Obama and his extreme Chicago connections to Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers or his inexperience in governing, yet they focused attention on Mitt Romney's 47% comments. Of course he had no response to my asking how, since I don't watch Fox News, I would know about all these things if the mainstream press wasn't covering them.

We are so fucked.

Responses:

On the Obama stuff, the Chicago SunTimes, at the time the liberal paper, covered all that. Lynn Sweet, politcal reporter, was the expert on him.. -- nm* - . Jan 26, 13:53

- He also says they portrayed him as a moderate instead of the radical liberal that he was. And I asked him in what way did he govern that was - pmb Jan 26, 12:54 31
  - I remember*years* ago when SSM was still an issue here and I got into a discussion with a co-worker about it - Reagen Jan 26, 13:13
  - I'll never get the Obama is a Liberal bit. They clearly weren't listening to his speech in 2004. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 26, 13:02
  - friends don't let friends discuss politics. -- nm - groiny Jan 26, 13:01 28
    - burying our heads in the sand doesn't solve anything either -- (edited) - ty97 Jan 26, 13:40 2
      - fwiw, I don't think it's necessarily total head-burying - I think it depends on the friend, and esp. coworker, in question. - b. Jan 26, 13:51
      - no, I get that too, but I have seen way too many people go from 0 to 11 very quickly on political issues - groiny Jan 26, 13:48

        plus, the specialist said I should expect to be on an inhaler the rest of my life at this point. -- nm - groiny Jan 26, 13:25 4
