The Biden Presidency

[InfiniteBoredom]

The only self professed Biden fan in all election related threads was @shamans

As for left leaning, can’t help it that right wingers always ended up getting themselves banned by acting like massive cnuts. Even then, the average poster on the Caf is about as left leaning as r/politics redditor, which is to say hardly commie pinko.

 

[shamans]

Did I say that? Did I once say Fox news is the saviour in all of this? All media is fecked, especially the American ones. I just find it insanely inconsistent how the left keep peddling how their media is always right and everyone else is wrong.

Give an example instead of general statements. There's left leaning media and right leaning media. You are currently spewing the same talking points of far right media on this thread and another so why are you so mad at the other half? Or is it just anyone that disagrees with you?

Also, in general the left leaning media (CNN) is not that far left. More, moderately pro Biden than say Bernie, Warren AOC etc. I say this as a long time Joe Biden fan. Also, I do not identify as far left and historically have not but right has gone so far right now that my views would be considered uber liberal far left (supporting BLM for instance)

Yeah, I was thinking that, if you organize elections with the Caf's CE posters, it wouldn't go any further than centre-left, if that.

The fact you think CNN is not that far left makes me believe we'll never agree. What's next? The Young Turks being centralists?

Let's do it then, start a poll.

You must be kidding. Or if not, then where do you put MSNBC on the political spectrum, or politicians like Blair in the UK or Stoltenberg in your former home of Norway?

No, I meant actual elections. People talk a good game, but I think a lot of them wouldn't vote that far to the left if it could actually affect their taxes.

 

[WI_Red]

This thread just got weird.

Is CNN left leaning? Yep. Is Fox News right leaning? Yep.

But, @Barnslig, if you think CNN and FOX News are equidistant on either side of the "center" you are mistaken. @Cheimoon, my brother to the north (whose English skills are in question these days) is correct, other networks like MSNBC are further to the left and more in step with Fox than CNN.

You know...feck it, I don't have it in me to expend the time to write the rest of this post. It's been a really shitty week for my family and if you think the left and right in America are the same than there is nothing that can be said to change your mind because we are living in different realities.

I had to look this up, but I do indeed live north from you. It wouldn't have been so clear if you'd lived in a place like Minneapolis. But you don't.

Focusing on the important stuff here.

Sorry to hear that!

thanks man, it’s just the COVID nightmare we are all living in, especially in this fecking state. Starting to wish we never moved here.

Again, you must have drifted more towards the right than you realize (given your comments in the other thread) but CNN is absolutely by no means "far left". It is a reflection of the guy who won the election. They are center left at most. CNN hardly has anything positive to say about bernie etc.

Being anti Trump does not make you far left. Conservatives voted against him.

 

[calodo2003]

Smoking pot is bad if you're a no-namer gets you sacked. Smoking pot if you're a famous politician gets you the VP job.

These 4 years are going to be way worse for Americans than it ever were under Trump.

How so specifically?

 

[calodo2003]

Strange how you never made a single post about how the people were being treated when Trump was president...?

It’s completely consistent.

It is quite something to watch right wing rage when the right winger cannot hold it in any longer.

How is CNN ‘far left?’ You seem to be very learned in these matters, please give specifics.

Do you actually think TYT are more conservative than them?

 

[Gehrman]

CNN is in no way far left. It doesn't mean that they are not biased in their reporting though.

 

[SirAF]

Wait, what? I didn't realise you were serious when you asked how posting on this forum gets back at "Biden apologists", as there are none on here? You must not have been around during the election. These forums are heavily left leaning.

That’s not a left/right thing. No decent human being wanted Trump to win, regardless of their political views.

Oh, and CNN being «far left»? To quote the old man: come on man

The vast majority of the US wouldn't know far left if it jumped up and hit them in the face! Most seem to think, that health care free at the point of delivery is communism.

Exactly!

Many in my country, & no doubt in here, consider giving water & food to those waiting in line to vote an example of being too leftist.

it made me literally laugh out loud, Just wanted to make that known

 

[neverdie]

That's not the point though is it? The inconsistencies between reportings in the media on the guy we don't like, and the guy they do like is insane. Biden could've tumbled down those stairs and leftist media wouldve still portraid it positively. While the guy we don't like can't even have a glass of water without threats of impeachment.

Surely even the leftists in here can see how this is not a good thing?

What leftist media? The Socialist Worker? There isn't any.

 

[KirkDuyt]

It's like half the people in this thread don't know that it's called Communist News Network?? The double standards are fecking hilarious. Nuh-uh, the proud boys aint far right, I've not personally seen them scream to destroy all minorities so they're center right at most. Damn snowflakes, can't say anything these days without being called out by the leftwing mob. CNN though, very far left. They didn't correctly report that Biden is a senile geriatric robot when he tripped on the stairs, fecking commies.

It's like Louis Vangle once said; Am I now so smart? Or are you now so dumb?

I'd be interested in a caf election though. Especially due to the differences in location. The party I voted for would probably be almost illegal in the US for being so far left.

The only Caf election nearly broke the Caf. Don't even speak of such things.

I escaped from slavery on my own last year, if you free the rest just for nothing it will be unfair on me.

You are a part of the weirdness problem here.
CNN is as corporate as it gets, no leftism detected there.

Nah, it slightly leans left, but it is the most ‘balanced’ of the three.

I wasn't implying she had a point by the way, just thought it was a funny and staggering thing for someone to want to add to the conversation.

Context matters. You are in the Biden presidency thread, so this is a US centric discussion.

When compared to Fox it most certainly is. Also, in terms of US politics it most certainly is.

Not sure what to make of your opening sentence.

That was what I assumed, it wasn't directly aimed at you.

That’s a violation of the Whistleblower Protection Act. Hearings need to be chaired.
