Let me guess, everything you read/watch is not bias in anyway? Unfortunately most journalism today is based on opinions, not facts. So at the end of the day, it's where you prefer to get your source of information. I try to read both sides before I come to my conclusions and offer my opinions.

I hadn't heard any news in the last few days. This morning I clicked on the news with coffee and saw reports of the two shootings.

I browsed three online news sources and two cable networks, all reporting the shootings, I clicked over to Fox News and they were doing a segment on crooked socialist democrats ruining health care.

I agree. There is bias.

Interesting, Fox news was covering the Texas shooting all day & night on Saturday and when I turned on the TV at 6am Sunday morning they were talking about Ohio. Didn't catch the health care portion you were referring too.

Please remember who you are dealing with in PaWN, we are not your dumb-ass friends and relatives living in a facebook bubble. You seriously need to up your game.


@Toshi - Thinkprogress is on the left no doubt, but it is also in the yellow box, so all in, fair reporting with a good sized liberal bias. Daily Kaos, is further left and riding the line on the bullshit section, but they ain't in the same league as Infowars, Breitbard or Gateway....

China has just depreciated the yuan and placed a prohibitive tariff on US soybean ($14B/year export, at the heart of Trump voter base.).

Shit is about to get heavy.

Yet, at some point in the future, and more than likely under a Democratic President, the foreign trade markets will once again open up, only this time at much lower prices to buy those same farmers admission. And, once again, I predict that those same farmers will lambast said Democratic President for negotiating a poor deal on their behalf and lament the Democratic party abandoning the plight of farmers and rural America.

Farms kinda fall under national security at some point. Go all free market on their ass, let them die and rely on imports and we’re in a tough spot when SHTF.

Funny how some people who criticize farm subsidies don’t blink at the government subsidizing things like solar/electric vehicles/wind etc. I guess it’s not corporate welfare if it matches your ideals and/or Tesla’s bumper sticker.

i think part of this is that a lot of people don't realize (regardless of political affiliation) that without subsidies the US agriculture industry would likely collapse.

President Trump has pushed top aides to investigate whether the U.S. government can purchase the giant ice-smothered island of Greenland, two people with direct knowledge of the directive said.

The presidential request has bewildered aides, some of whom continue to believe it isn’t serious, but Trump has mentioned it for weeks. The two people with knowledge of the presidential demand spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to reveal such White House planning.

As with many of Trump’s internal musings, aides are waiting for more direction before they decide how seriously they should look into it.

Among the things that have been discussed is whether it is even legal, what the process would be for acquiring an island that has its own government and population, and where any money to purchase a giant landmass would originate.

Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
