    There are tons of sources that are unbiased — politico is typically rated as one of the least biased major news sources so I don’t know why you included it, do they not praise dear leader enough?

    trump is only a symptom of the plague that is infesting politics, his supporters — they are the real danger.

    Is that why old people represent over 80% of all online and telephone scam victims? Because they are able to “discern a true source from the fake sources”

    Good joke...

    If you think age is such a detriment, why did you liberals pick Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders to be your two top Dem candidates for president? Shouldn't liberals be smarter than that?

    Age isn’t a detriment, ego and stubbornness is.

    To the remainder of your post, you will have to ask a liberal, I dislike Biden almost as much as trump. I do not have a candidate that represents my ideals.

    Your elderly wisdom must have failed you with that pathetic of a deflection.
    Care to try again?

    Let the market decide which news outlet they want to watch. Let me decide what channels I want to pay for instead of a basic package that always has CNN in it. Give the public choices and CNN will fold, why? Partisan dogma.

    So you agree that liberals aren't very smart when it comes to choosing presidential candidates. Well, at least that's a start. With age, maybe you'll add more wisdom to your arsenal, and come to know that conservatism is itself a form of wisdom, for both young and old.

    **** the GOP. **** the DNC. The two party system is what is destroying this nation.

    What we have now isn’t conservatism is it some diseased version of it.
    True conservatives would want to protect our nation, our finances, our institutions, our environment, our children and citizens.

    What is being espoused by “the old” is I got mine, **** you. Greed with a hint of vindictiveness. Not conservatism. Don’t conflate the two.

    They may have added more information, information isn’t necessarily wisdom, that requires application.

    you mean they should be like the "Trump is the Messiah" network fox?

    CNN reports the facts, that might not be popular to the right... but I would prefer it over top "ratings"

    People watch the news networks that either entertain them the most or cater to their particular prejudices. CNN is not entertaining and it does not pander to liberals or conservatives. It is just news, plain and simple.

    I personally prefer to watch fox news because it is so entertaining to think of just how stupid the people are who believe they watch this channel for news.

    Brilliant post! Say, can you tell me how you get CNN? Part of your basic package? Would you pay money for CNN if you had a choice?

    I don't watch it on TV. I read CNN.com. I only watch when I want to be entertained. I read when I want to be informed.

    That said, I believe CNN is part of my basic package. I would not pay money for any news station if I had a choice, including Fox News (even though I enjoy watching it for the entertainment value).

    Also, Rush is wrong. Dumb, too. Just FYI.

    You must be referring to the pee tape, collusion, treason, Russian mafia, German banks, racism, homophobia, etc. you mean those facts, right? If they really facts, then where did they go, why did they disappear?
