Can you name the major outlets you deem to be all left leaning? Does it include outlets like AP, Reuters, BBC etc?

I get a kick out of Democrats. They’re now pushing for expanded mail-in voting because of the coronavirus and social distancing guidelines. The biggest problem with mail-in voting result from ‘Ballot Harvesting,’ where parties (actually I should say the democratic party) uses campaign workers, union members, and volunteers to go door-to-door collecting mail-in ballots and then are responsible to hand deliver the ballots to election officials to be counted. Sometimes these workers collecting the ballots have entered into voters homes to help them retrieve and even ‘fill out’ their ballots. It is rife for abuses.

So Republicans are coming back with ‘fine’ for safety reasons if you want expanded mail-in voting then have the voters drop their ballots in the mail, and stop ballot harvesting as ‘it is a threat to the health and well-being of voters because it directly violates social distancing measures and causes the exchange of a physical item that has been in a person’s household and likely contains saliva, which is known to spread COVID-19.’

Democrats are having none of the limiting of ballot harvesting. Gee, I wonder why?

People dont seem to realise he brought the media spotlight on himself. Do people not remember the nonsense with Sean Spicer and the inauguration crowd size? That set the tone. He has attacked them from day one and they have responded in kind. He lies CONSTANTLY. Do trump supporters expect the media to only report the positives? There's nothing positive to report!

'Nothing positive to report?' Who is lying now?

In a town of 69,000 people, a lady who's daughter is having problems with a prominent senator. And that's not a coincidence?

You're absolutely brainwashed mate.

The reason I ask is because you are confusing me some of the outlets you claim that are very much left leaning are in fact not. Just because a media outlet reports somethings that is not favorable to your leader does not make them left leaning and bias

Oh come on. I'm sure there are dozens of young ladies from that town who are staffers to powerful senators. Why, just in my town alone, we have.... Oh, wait. :rolleyes:

Like pointing out blatant lies that Donie T makes on tv and easily confirmed....makes them left leaning.

Pandemic going on in the US and all that wankmuffin can go on about is fake news

Here's one report on it from California. Other states are going through the same thing as is my state of Pennsylvania and the democrats don't want to give up ballot harvesting here, either.

Everyone here knows how to put a stamp on an envelop and post it. Everyone does it all the time. Why is it such a huge hardship ONLY for elections? That's not really a question... we know why democrats don't want to give up ballot harvesting... because it will probably mean they'll win just about all federal elections going forward with expanded mail in voting and ballot harvesting.

Did you know between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots went missing according to data compiled from the federal Election Assistance Commission? That’s about one in five of all absentee ballots mailed to voters. The organization that compiled the data, the Public Interest Legal Foundation, from the Election Assistance Commission says that the sheer volume of them raises serious doubts about election security.

Adam Schiff just stated that all the Corona virus deaths in America are Trumps fault.

When you talk about Trump and hypocrisy how can anyone be a public representative and come out with this nonsense.

We don’t know as they went missing. But I have my suspicions as to whom the majority of the missing votes were for. And there is no denying that Democrats want to take away safeguards that ensure the integrity of the election process.

How can anyone defend this?

Because, despite it being a sleazy lie, it makes political sense as we all know the democrats media handmaidens will agree with Schiff after they receive their democrat talking points and marching orders.

That is ridiculous because you and everyone else knows if a straight vote was allowed nationally and in many districts the republicans would be decimated

There is no evidence that the majority of media “leans left”.

Mainly because there is no mainstream left wing in the US. There’s the Dems who are right wing and the Republicans who are more right wing.

Would you include the Republican agenda of closing many voting stations in mostly poorer areas the same?

Talk about washing your hands of a problem and passing the buck. That’s true leadership...

@CBSNews obtained the new "testing blueprint" that the President presented to Govs today, per @edokeefe. They say states/local govts should develop testing plans, and "identify & overcome barriers to efficient testing."

The fed govt should "act as a supplier of last resort"

It's on the same level as Trumps disinfectant comment. He should be censured immediately by the democrats if they've any integrity.

Schiff needs to have his name kept out there as he’s hoping for higher office. Everything he wanted has blowing up in his face so far... Boxer’s senate seat, Feinstein’s senate seat, the governor’s seat. I guess if he can keep his obnoxious face on the TV screen he might land a Cabinet appointment in a Democratic White House. Will there be a cabinet post called Minister of Propaganda in Biden’s administration?
