Centrists are full of shit, but they're not lying about where they fall on the spectrum.

if you ignore their editorial pages (very easy to do if easily triggered!) then WaPo and WSJ will provide you all the reporting you need from old media.

if you crave political news then politico, thehill and axios provide a nice rundown. axios mixes some commentary in their news and i'd say it's a slight liberal slant. all three of course offer opinions pieces too but, again, very easy to not click!

the economist provides interesting commentary. they're obviously not fans of trump (or populist movements in general) but they're not chicken little in their articles.

they're pretty even-handed but i'd say slant slightly liberal POV in their articles if you had to label them.

You’re dead on with your publications in those two posts. I was a big Economist consumer but it is a major chore to get through the entire publication each week. The WSJ is generally good and pretty fair. When I could stand politics, I went to Politico and TheHill daily.

I don’t mind the NYT. I feel like it balances out the right bias of the WSJ.

The Economist is good because it gets you away from the sensationalist and ethnocentric American media. It is socially liberal and free market oriented, which suits many folks.

After having 8 years of a Liberal darling president (who won the Nobel Peace Prize for... existing?), American voters made a statement by electing someone who did not subscribe to the ideology of the last ten presidents that was screwing the working class and propping up other economies. That person also happens to be quite a loudmouth.

After this election, the Left (and the establishment in general) has done nothing but try to undermine the decision of half the country through fake Russian investigations, irrelevant stories about hookers, and the fact that he's just plain MEAN! His policies haven't been that far from his predecessor, but the media chooses to portray him as some kind of monster and the general public eats it up. Hook, line, and sinker. While this is happening, it is now socially acceptable to ostracize his voters, threaten violence against his administration, call his base racist retards from middle America who have no critical thinking skills, and outright ban people from establishments if they support him. Oh, and I shouldn't forget the liberal use of the word "Nazi" to describe him despite the fact that I'm unaware of any genocide he has started. In fact, he even bent and signed an EO to pacify the babies who were whining about his immigration policy despite the fact that no one said shit when his predecessor did very similar things!

The current Left in this country is a walking, talking pile of hypocrisy and childishness. They don't want anything to change because then they couldn't bitch about it on the internet. They'd much rather walk around whining and threatening to harass people because of their politics so that they can be victims and be REALLY.DARN.MAD about this stuff that is all "above politics" (even though it's not). That's much easier than going out and spreading a real message of help to the working class and getting people excited enough to vote.

The only thing that makes this funny is that none of these crybabies is a threat because none of them could go a day without middle America growing their food and giving them the basic necessities that they probably think just magically appear at Whole Foods and Target.

Donald Trump and his administration aren't that different from any other administration. He just doesn't pretend to be civil, and that offends everyone's sensibilities. Cowboy the fuck up and go change it through the political system if you don't like it.

Really regardless of restaurant you should never turn away a person regardless of race, color, creed, party, gender, etc. Really the owner got her rear end bitten in the end.

Bob laying out the truth.


False. There has not been anything like this in my lifetime. Go watch late night TV. They literally don't even tell jokes anymore. They just say things about Trump and the seals in the audience clap. SNL has skits with Trump supporters wearing swastikas. There is a fake investigation that has been going on for a year and a half to investigate seemingly everything Trump has done in the last five years as a way to impeach him. Every single headline in the MSM, excepting Fox News, is talking about how awful he is. There are newspaper articles from major publications AGREEING with a Democratic congresswoman that Trump supporters should be shouted down in public and not allowed into restaurants. Jimmy Fallon recently had to apologize for not hammering Trump in an interview despite the fact that he is a comedy host. This is not "just politics."


Yes it is.

Same as it ever was.

Late night TV? The comedians were better before. Now they're lazy.

It's okay to not be so triggered by the treatment of Donald Trump. He doesn't care about you.


It's not even close to the same so I can only assume you aren't paying attention. The entire furor over "children in cages" began over a tweet of a picture that turned out to be from 2014. But that didn't matter. Just keep going and maybe we can GET TRUMP! Just last week Newsweek put a fake photo on its cover. There has never been such a concerted effort to remove a president in my lifetime. Not even with Nixon. And it isn't just Democrats. The entire entrenched Establishment wants this guy gone. #RESIST!


Bill Kristol and his crew may hate Trump more than any Democrat does.


Bill Kristol and his wing of the Republican party who don't like Trump make up 10% of the party (if that). My guess is that when Obama was President, 10% of Democrats didn't like him.

Kristol is a huge minority within the party, and Republicans who don't support Trump are also in a small camp. Yet, it doesn't stop CNN from having 1 Trump supporter, a Democrat and then an anti-Trump Republican as if this were some real movement.

Media bias in action.

From what I understand, the restaurant had to close for a few days after this incident, because of the backlash. In addition, a woman who was the company president or something has stepped down from her position. So if throwing employees out of work for several days and having the restaurant lose money because of all the backlash seems like good business to you, you are an idiot.

You sound well informed.
