    Not that I care but they were here before Trump. They will still be here after.

    Those Trump superstores though, are heading straight to the coffin.

    ???

    The title is: Denial, conspiracy and double-speak: Trump-loving OAN and Newsmax’s bizarre coverage of Biden’s inauguration

    The only emotion being referred to is that of OAN and Newsmax, and it's love of Trump, not anger.

    The quote is the catch. The comic relief. Are you sure you're in the right thread, because you're not making much sense. Maybe read the OP again?

    I don't pay any attention to biased media like Newsmax, MSN, CNN, FOX, etc. They are just selling a product they know their audience is eager to consume. Their customers are like babies in a highchair eagerly waiting for the next spoon full of applesauce. "Here comes the aiwpwane!"

    You are half right. You are only seeing one side. I do hope that Biden does not get the Trump treatment. Its not good for the country.

    Still cryptic. I have no clue what you're talking about Doofen.

    It's my thread. I'm not half right about anything. I know what I wrote, what I meant, and your replies don't address it at all. Trump anger? Emotion? That's just silliness.

    Who are the pot and kettle?

    Again, the OP is about Newsmax getting punked. Through their own incompetence. This is a fact. Not an opinion. Nobody is calling anyone anything. I think you're a little confused on what the OP is about.

    Just not going to admit that you have no quantifiable way to explain it.

    To some extent, ALL Media outlets exhibit Bias (and people will gravitate to those outlets which feed their own confirmation bias).

    However, in that respect, as to how all media outlets may be the "same" (in pandering to confirmation bias to retain viewers) there is One HUGE Difference:

    The Information Starting Point of CNN and MSNBC is "1+1=2"

    The Information Starting Point of OAN and Newsmax is "1+1=3"

    ^That is the Huge DIFFERENCE.

    Understood AJ - but whether the network is 80% BS or just 20% BS, it is hard to know when what they are saying that is true. CNN does get duped by "sources" way too often. I take everything all of them say with a grain of salt and draw my own conclusions as I have a very good BS detector

    I prefer to read the news, except for the nightly national news on the networks, which is infrequent. I will read from Fox to CNN and I able to ascertain the info and am able to filter out the unnecessary fluff.

    Curious. Why did you watch them all day? I never understood why people would spend the entire day watching news coverage from an organization they dislike and distrust. For example I dumped cnn 15 years ago.

    I didnt see any news coverage myself, I was on a plane flying across the country, preparing to hunker down from the insurrection. Apparently there wasn't one.

    My game? It was your post man. Just do this and we can call it. Admit you gushed like those media talking heads, gushed for no reason, gushed over something that was totally routine. That's a solid out.
