You see that shit all the time with Clinton.

1. They presume that the 'left' likes Clinton
2. Even if we did like Clinton, that doesn't mean we would defend them regardless of their action.


Dem's drummed Franken outta congress so fast your head would spin. Like the left isn't in the business of reflexively defending bad behavior to "Pwn the cons"

Not particularly, it was a stupid throw away comment that I got piled on for "making an argument". I can think of tons of shit I'd rather do than search the archives of Daily Caller, Daily Wire, Stephen Crowder, etc



Believe it or not the daily wire is one of the few publications that reports things accurately. Their political stance is obvious, but they don’t push fake stories and wait until there is enough information to write a real article.

No idea, not something I would typically give a shit about. For some reason conservative chuds seem to be obsessed over the case. If he did something fucked up then lock em up/find him guilty of whatever appropriate civil penalties.

Seems like the obsession is because those conservative media sources think it is some sort of gotcha because the 'libs' wanted to virtue signal in defending a black guy, who in reality was faking shit?


U seem upset lel

Not particularly interested in debating the journalistic standards of them at the moment, but even from your post it seems clear that you'd acknowledge them as conservative media and that point would mostly be regarding the number of stories they'd have done on the topic and not how biased those articles may be.

I am saying their political bias is shouted from the rooftops, but they are exactly what they claim to be, and report honestly. In contrast most news outlets claim to be non biased while promoting lies and misleading stories.

The reason they do so many articles on this is because the left leaning media goes out of their way to push race stories, claiming to be healing race relations but in fact they are purposely fueling the fire. This story was one they jumped on, and gave the guy a ton of press until the Chicago PD made it clear they are not letting him get away with it. Then crickets and onto the next race bait.

If nobody made it clear how many networks and publications allowed this fake story to flourish, then they have gotten away with it. That is the real story DW is focusing on, the actual trial is just a joke that gets laughs on the podcasts because of how absurd it is.

I'm personally more concerned about there needing to be tons of public pressure to get people prosecuted in the Aubrey case than some narcissistic celebrity like Smolett getting charged and, justifiably, 'canceled.'

Weird how your honest news website has dozens of Jussie articles and 0 Josh Duggar articles.

The Jussie Smollet case is a prime example of how right wing economic policies i.e. capitalism drive the wealthy upper classes to commit acts of exploitation and class warfare. Smollet is a capitalist. His actions were driven by capitalism. Conservatives own this.

They covered that trial extensively as well. The Arbery case is a fantastic example of almost every news outlet covering absolute lies while successfully fueling the race narrative, intentionally leaving out known facts about the incident to let the public believe a fake story >_> There is already a topic for that one though. All that public pressure ended up, in my opinion and many others, getting two people convicted of murder when at most they committed false imprisonment. Irresponsible coverage at it’s finest.

Again, there is an enormous difference between being politically biased and solid reporting. The daily wire is very open about their political bias, and very open about the fact that bias will lead them to cover certain things, and not cover other things. That does not in any way mean they don’t accurately report.

That being said I don’t understand why some guy who was on television who turned out to be a sex offender deserves nationwide coverage across all outlets. Did he vote for trump or something idk you tell me why this matters to anybody besides the victims. Looks like Fox News covered it. I don’t see the problem here.


Remember when David Dorn was being live-streamed on Facebook as he was bleeding out on the sidewalk? The guy recording it was never even brought in for questioning.
