    According to mediabiasfactcheck.com
    Vox: Left bias, Factual Reporting: HIGH

    Fox: Right bias, Factual Reporting: MIXED


    Oopsies....


    Now Nkante is gonna say "mediabiasfactcheck.com is started by george soros and his ANTIFA corporation!!!"
    I’m still trying to decide if MediaBiasFactCheck is incompetent or merely dishonest? Ah, what the heck, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt… they’re both. Fact checker organizations are notoriously biased against republicans... they're mostly run by the media who report 90% negatively against Trump. They all should have "biased" in front of their names. Perhaps I too should read “You too can be a factchecker,” get a fancy website name, and claim no bias/pubic service. Seems that’s all it takes.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Reality has a liberal bias.

    It's like climate change deniers at this stage, the facts are there but they refuse to acknowledge them. Pointless even discussing anything with trump supporters at this stage.

    Right wingers are very susceptible to scaremongering so easy to manipulate. A few immigrants, call it a caravan of terrorists. A few protesters, antifa want to destroy America. Maybe we shouldn't let just anyone buy a machine gun, the left want to take ur gaaaaans. Let's have universal healthcare which would be cheaper than the current system, no Stalin Gulags.

    Ahhh. Sorry snowblind. You got me. I genuinely thought you were serious. Fair play man, that was some high level pretending you did.

    Well done.

    You seem to think that if someone criticises trump they have to defend everything the democratic party does. That's not the case.

    Explain to me how trumps tweet about the rat infested crime infested city that is Baltimore it’s racist. But when sanders calls it like a 3rd world country worse than North Korea it’s not. Then he has the gall to say on cnn trump is racist?

    They call trump racist all the time but have a governor that likes to play KKK dress up but don’t call him to task?

    The absolute hypocrisy.

    Trumps not called a racist because of one tweet it's a lifelong pattern.

    When you stop being a student and get a job, I'm sure you'll mature in your outlook. :)

    You will have to make a list of what is approved by your cult. The same ones Donald is ok with, yeh? Sounds pretty North Korean but ok.

    Might Is Right or The Survival of the Fittest, is a book by pseudonymous author Ragnar Redbeard. First published in 1890, it heavily advocates egoist anarchism, amorality, consequentialism and psychological hedonism. In Might Is Right, Redbeard rejects conventional ideas of human and natural rights and argues that only strength or physical might can establish moral right (à la Callicles or Thrasymachus). The book also attacks Christianity and Democracy

    Hardly sounds white supremacist. 4chan must have been trolling again.

    In fairness, there does seem to be quite a bit in it saying that the whites are the best race. Given that it was written in 1890 it's hardly surprising but still.

    Apparently it advocates that Anglo saxons are the superior race and they should rule. His last Instagram.post included a slur about mixed race people.

    In 1890 whites thought they were the only race that mattered. Good thing we have traveled light years from that ideology.

    Bet you wouldn't find many migrants who were detained under another administration for weeks on end. Much less US citizens for the better part of a month.

    Are you talking about Obama deporting record numbers?

    And that boy who came back to the USA after a scouting trip to Mexico. And was found to have false documents. Unbeknown to him his mother is was an illegal immigrant and forged his documents?

    So are you criticizing the deportations and the camps? Or are you saying it's great now and was great also in Obama era? Weird cuz you seem to use Obama as some sort of a justifier while also dissing Obama.

    Obama was terrible. Trump is a new level of terrible. Why would one make the other ok? Is this how you think morals work?

    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/06/trump-child-immigrant-detention-no-toothpaste-obama.html

    The facts are out there, there are also a lot of reports on it. if you criticize Obama's deportation and detention practices, you should criticize this twice as hard. Unless you're just a partisan troll.

    Yet more mass shootings resulting in deaths committed by the right wingers, don't recall Antifa committing mass murder recently?

    They haven't killed anyone.
    Still trump wants them designated a terrorist organisation.
    They confront the groups that radicalise people like the shooters.

    Mad.
