There really was a media bubble

i take from it that most reporters are politically independent and that there are slightly more democrats than republicans. is that what you intended to convey? of course it wasn't. 🙂

What does independent mean though? That's an honest question. Doesn't everyone tend to lean one way or the other? Not so far as to be radical like say Antifa or Neo Nazis, but generally, you have a majority of things from one party you agree with over the other.

if they identified with and voted for white nationalists then that would also count as independent. in this context its just a way of saying that they're not in for either of the 2 main parties. i mention context because iirc there is/was a political party identified as "independant" in name.

wonder if he'll address it and admit his error? my money is on either 'shit the bed more', complete avoidance of the thread, or a fun new alternate topic.

I definitely wouldn't want to be an Independent if that's who I get lumped in with. Lol But I guess every party has their psycho groups.

You're correct. There is an independent party, but I thought they still had ideas that were in line with the two major parties.

95% is a majority.....and he posted a poll that disagreed with the narrative as an anomaly....so his claim was justified.......... ........................................

According to the poll he sourced as proof, the majority (50.2%) of reporters identify as "independent", that's not inline with his claims

It's this "independent" part. Perhaps he views "independents" as left leaning?

You're stretching to justify his clearly false claims:

If you want to whine over the number used okay, we can just say a majority of our media leans left. Did you disagree?

The majority leans "Independent", at 50.2%

I'll go with your narrative.

Yes. That's not "Left leaning" as fact.

It's okay. You win. We have an "independent" leaning bias in the media.

According to that poll posted.

That poll looks actually reasonable overall. Wouldn't mind seeing the locations they polled though, could show some clear bias.

Sure, polls are inheritly biased.

Do you think the media is mostly "independent"?

The topics this article lists as Independent beliefs are not the one that I hear 50.2% of the time. lol

I wonder what they mean by independent. Not being funded/influenced by a political party maybe?

i'm not asking this to use against you.

Rob, did you come to the states from uruguay or somewhere around there? you in so cal?
