Yeah, I expected as much. Here we have one of your own outlets admitting the truth we have tried to explain to you for years. Maybe later, this rag will produce something that feeds your bias and ideological devotion, and all the sudden you can suddenly believe it again. You lack the spine to admit you are wrong, and instead want to be lied to by your masters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegeneral 3,121 Posted February 12 22 minutes ago, RLLD said: Fox is not relevant here. What is relevant is that a liberal media outlet, Politico, has finally admitted the truth. They have admitted what conservatives, and yes Fox, tried to tell you for years......they have admitted that you and yours were lied to, saying you were "tricked". Now, if it were this alone, you would be reasonable to let it slide.....but they have lied about so many things for so long. When will it be enough for folks such as yourself to say.....enough..... There are members of the media that have biases. Welcome to the world. People have biases. Now that Trump and GOP is in charge you are already seeing the roles reverse. My eggs are cheap! My gas is cheap! I don’t rent so I don’t care about rent! Trump just took over! Trump will never admit he did anything wrong or any moves he made causes issues. This is how the world works. He is particularly ridiculous because of his 12 word vocabulary and his preposterous claims. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While legacy media has always been deferential to Democrats, they usually still held them accountable. But now, if you watch legacy media you think only Democrats can be good and all conservatives are bad. Its reprehensible. We should not accept this. The media is our hedge against power. If media instead becomes partisan, then power is not held to account...... Again, what will it take? How many times do their lies have to be exposed before you say enough?

It is a rare ability among those who lean left. And later, I will post something and it will be true, and you will perhaps counter it, call it untrue or poorly founded, and perhaps even reference Politico. I wont post something that I think could be untrue, so if post it, it probably is true. As with the economy element, even today there are those who post here who still refuse to accept the truth; and to be fair, they are so indoctrinated that the truth will likely never be something they accept. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadrap 227 Posted February 12 57 minutes ago, Tebok said: Gas prices will increase as a direct result of Trump's tariffs, executive orders and whatever other actions he takes regarding fossil fuels. The gas-price increases under Biden were a COVID-related product of supply and demand, which MAGA mooks couldn't wrap their heads around because they're too dumb and poorly educated to understand basic economics. the Gzillion dollar "Inflation reduction act" put us over the cliff as far as inflation. 4 months later the Dems called it "transitory" as if it wouldn't take hold. they lied just like the press lied about Biden's amazing cognitive abilities. we basically had a puppet as president for 3 plus years and Hamas & Russia took advantage. now we have a president uncovering waste, fraud & corruption & that affects everyone & the Dems are crying foul !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike Hunt 275 Posted February 12 1 hour ago, thegeneral said: As was inflation that was a global issue when Biden was prez. Our overall economy fared well coming out of the pandemic. Some good things were done along with some bad moves. Now with Trump and GOP in charge of everything they get to step up to the whipping post. I agree, lets see where we stand a year from today. But even if inflation and food costs go down do you think restaurant's will print new menus lowering their prices? That will never happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
