So it might make sense that you perceive some of them as "good" if they feed your bias. There is a true story in the vast majority of what is posted on a site obviously bias like say HuffPost. You need to be able to think critically to sort through it. The current headline on there is about Trump saying he wonât shut up even if the court slaps a protective order on the details of his case. This is true, it is a story. It is also red meat for Trump haters and gets clicks which is what they ultimately need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also a lot of commentary to get team blue tie fired up of course. I like to watch a news story break then flip between MSNBC and Fox to watch them spin it. Some great comedy there. If you are concerned about disinformation and how it shapes beliefs you should certainly be concerned about Trump as your partyâs nom. He is a danger. my party's nom?

Agree to an extent. I think there is an element of impetuousness to their actions, perhaps driven by the need to secure social credits.  We have seen Democrats do things that scratch some itch, with little regard for the bomerang impacts. The removal of the filibuster for SCOTUS appointments comes to mind.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
