I’ll give Bernie credit.  Pretty good speech tonight.

His old man delivery/shouting gets to me.  But you got to give him credit that he seems to care and the things he says are generally all improvement of life kind of stuff.  And he always stays on his message.  That's a heck of a lot more and positive than most politicians.

[sεяεηιτλ]

I watched like 4 speakers. I can't handle it anymore. I"d be good for a year if it wasn't an election year with debates

[Pervis Muldoon]

Michelle Obama is very effective. She was always a good speaker. Now she’s a top-notch performer behind the podium. This speech is terrific.

She was outstanding. That black Jobs line took the roof off.

I’m guessing there’s a certain Trumper on this board that is seething even more tonight. If he has a dog I hope he’s not kicking it.

The black jobs line was fun. Her line about the affirmative action of generational wealth was my favorite phrase of the night.

He'll must be frozen over.  It's the same speach he's been giving for years, with the names changed.

Is it "news" if everyone knows it already?

You're actually talking about people assuming alreadythat he or repubs are dipshits. That's an assumption and you're treating it like an assumption everyone knows. You're right in a sense and it's sad. It's absolutely news whenever a presidential candidate says something asinine though even if it was already assumed. It's a new thing he says.

There's no one out there who doesn't know what Trump is at this point. We had four years of him in office, and four years of him in the court rooms and media. There probably aren't any surprises as to "who he is" any more.

Some people are OK with that and will vote for him, and others call him a racist, bigoted, christian sexual predator, convicted rapist and convicted felon.

Very few people know who Kamala is. And we might not find out who she is until well after the election. She's the "Door #3" of politics at the moment.

[Robert J Sakimano]

Is it "news" if everyone knows it already?

Trump is advocating for mass murder.

Harris is advocating for middle class monetary support.

Which is something thar people should be more aware of?

you're not trying to have a rational conversation with a christian republican/libertarians, are you?

[Robert J Sakimano]

Fun to watch our resident republican/libertarian posters normalize the racist,  bigoted, christian sexual predator, convicted rapist and convicted felon and the mainstream media coverage of their christian hero.

I hope you don’t have a job where you interact with the public, Bob.  That would be sad.

a job?   me?

[Robert J Sakimano]

we need an Isbell show with a 30 second political speech between the main set and the encore.

yeah, our republican/libertarian friends here at tSwill are going through some things this week.

she's a female who smiles and laughs. that drives republicans/libertarians crazy, so that's enough for me.

[NigelUno]

You think CNN is more favorable to the right?

When you consider the volume of potential topics of insanity that can be reported on by both sides, yes.

It's math

A simple made up scenario to illustrate the point of how a seemingly left wing outlet could actually be in the bag for the right:

If both Dems and Republicans have similar campaign speech, of Dems tell 5 lies but Republicans tell 45, and CNN reports equally at 3 lies each, tell me which party are they giving favorable coverage to?

Are you saying CNN caps the amounts of lies in stories for each candidate? Come on.

Fact check: Trump makes more than 20 false claims at news conference

She hasn't been crapped all over with negative campaigning to the extent Biden was, and why does the MSM not do the same to Republicans, but anyone who cares to can find out who she is in this internets age.

You have such a different paradigm about what people are, interesting in a way, but incorrect in others.

Let me just say that not all people think and feel about the world as you do.

The facts are that the media tried to put Harris in a box over the last 4 years and, because they thought she was a lightweight they didn't work too hard at it. Now, for the next 77 days, they don't have the time to define her, like they did with Clinton & Biden.

It is analysis, not your emotions about me, that define how I feel about reality.

For some reason MSM craps on Democratics and downplays Republican weaknesses, and people who are saying they were blindsided by Biden deftly putting her forward as his replacement and now cannot control the narrative are correct.

It may be enough to overcome the media bias against Democratics in this election.

I read MSM stuff...I'm smart enough to ignore broadcast MSM, which both feeds out "if it bleeds it leads" stuff and is unable to provide the depth needed to understand what is really going on.

One only has to observe posters reacting to the next shiny object the MSM broadcasts puts in front of them to understand that broadcast MSM is just propaganda without much substance.

I strongly suggest all of you stop watching and listening to it and instead read more detailed written articles, even if they are in Fox properties.

a 'job' implies work.. I've never really worked at anything (other than running, cycling, being front row for Springsteen a bunch of times).

I do have somewhere I go every now and then.. they expect me to show up in exchange for a direct deposit into the bank, and I suspect my wife enjoys the house to herself (she works 100% remote).

I have a good gig. Very fortunate.

Again, I don't think tMSM is so much downplaying Trump as they are just burned out on him. If they reported every time he acted like an ass, they'd have to dedicate a separate 24/7 channel. It's no longer news. It's not surprising or shocking. It's just who he is. You either like it or you don't.

Kamala is the new shiny object. There's a lot of hope and optimism around her. If she can prevent the media from digging too deep and just let Trump be Trump, she should win in a landslide.

I prefer to watch the convention rather than read about it in the paper the next day. I also prefer watching a ballgame to looking at the box score later. Different strokes for different folks.

If they would broadcast the convention without talking heads telling us what to think. PBS interrupted their floor feed to chatter on about what they thought for 45 minutes or while some speakers were speaking.

Funny you bring entertainment into it, sports, which the MSM does okay at...

C-SPAN has the whole thing uninterrupted. Or just mute the sound when the talking heads bother you. It’s really not that difficult to watch.
