    I've gotta disagree. Whether a media outlet reports the news accurately or not has nothing to do with how popular they are (re. mainstream).

    Breitbart was mainstream for a while, but now they've faded back into obscurity...

      I think the fall of Breitbart is due to Andrew Breitbart's death really. I thought Andrew was really good. Bannon just isn't the same.

      • Well I guess we have more news from the CHAZ

        https://www.thedailybeast.com/seattl...utonomous-zone

        The Seattle Police Department confirmed that officers were investigating a shooting inside the self-declared autonomous zone known as CHAZ in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle early Saturday morning. Multiple reports on social media suggested that more than one person had been shot in the police-free zone. The area has been occupied since June 8 when police retreated from the precinct, and George Floyd protesters secured an area of around six blocks, which has since been reduced by authorities.
        I find it interesting that American police are investigating this shooting that happened in an autonomous zone. Mmmmmmmm

          He's not wrong Cow Poke. I'd consider it far more honest if people here simple said "liberal media" instead of "MSM" since that is what is meant.

              For the most part a difference without a distinction like Tomayto or Tomahto

                It displays your biases more accurately.

                  It doesn't try to obscure the facts.

                    Probably because CHAZ is a fantasy playland. Probably once the kids get tired and hungry enough to return home, Seattle officials will tear down the cardboard barriers.

                      In what way does it obscure the facts by calling it liberal media?

                      • CHAZ (or CHOP) is deteriorating as predicted.
                        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                          I thought you watched a lot of Rush Limbaugh and that he was one of your favorite commentators?

                            The odds were almost against them both externally and internally. It does like it is going to fail predictably.

                              I haven't seen Rush Limbaugh in AGES.

                                It was probably ages ago that I heard you say it.
