Good lord man, turn off OAN and Fox News.

You and others made valid points. But why the “FOX NEWS”.? Why is it the standard line from the left? Is it to shut them up? I don’t get it, because I’m conservative and don’t watch Fox News or any other MSM.

Mostly AP and Reuters. If I have to watch something live, I'll watch CNN but I avoid opinion news shows.

Fox News is the default for most conservatives. It's right wing propaganda at this point. If you are conservative and avoid it, congrats. You saying you avoid "MSM" is worrisome though. Most people (not saying you) that do that are just looking for echo chambers instead of facts.

The MSM is the definition of echo chamber. They literally coordinate talking points every morning.

What's the irony in reading AP and Reuters? That's as middle of the road, here's the facts of what happened, as you can get. I don't watch opinion "news". If it's a speech or something like that, I'll watch CNN but I don't stick around for the commentary.

AP and Reuters are hardly middle of any road. They push narratives just as bad as Fox or CNN or MSNBC. In my opinion, they are worse, because people assume they are fact based or unbiased. Look into who owns both.

Yea every rating system out there disagrees with you. If you think AP and Reuters are too far left, that says more about you than them.

I am buying the 392 as a third vehicle and could care less what it cost to play with my toy. Gas will go up, gas will come down just as it always has.

All news is slanted one way or the other. I choose to watch news that is slanted right because I think they do a better job presenting the facts ( and opinions)than the left leaning news sites. I do find it interesting that there is one major right leaning news channel in Fox and it drives the dozens of left leaning news channels bat s**t crazy.

lol come on, you watch right wing media bc they say things you agree with, not bc they present "facts" better. And that's perfectly fine, but at least be honest with yourself.

Obama in 2008 said...."Under my plan...electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket". His plan at that time was to kill coal-fired power plants to raise electricity ratse and force the industry to solar...how did that work out. His energy secretary, Steven Chu was tasked to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline in the U.S to European levels....Look it up...
Time will tell...stay tuned...

People watch and read things which re-affirm their beliefs. Now we have algorithms that search them out to help them re-affirm their beliefs and put them in groups with the same beliefs. These beliefs can be fact or fiction. Lines are blurred. As long as they believe it to true it must be. Once a belief is normalized in their society dangerous/horrific things can happen and be considered ok. Ex. Nazi Germany.

Yes. They are both middle of the road fact reporting. You're doing yourself no favors by chalking up anything you don't like as media bias.

In the news today.....you can google it......Joe Biden’s National Economic Council Director Brian Deese on Tuesday said: "The only viable path to energy independence is to reduce fossil fuel use to zero"
Reduce the use to zero....that will be interesting....I guess the guy doesn't understand that oil is not only used for gasoline, but pretty much everything else....

Agreed. The Facebook algorithms have done massive damage to our country. Too many people believe anything they read, regardless of the source.

You left off "that's a long term project" which is what he said immediately after that. He's not talking months or years, he's talking decades. You think we're still burning oil in 100 years? I don't.
