    I' m sure that's true although I wouldn't know because I refuse to watch other so called news channels aside from FOX since it's become blatantly obvious they aren't actual news sources but instead bought and paid for DNC political hack's.

    I don't either. I barely watch my network news. I watch the traffic and weather then I click it off.

    I read somewhere the Libby Libs have been making jokes about GHWB’s dog. The MSM really would love to hammer GHWB’s corpse but are trying hold back like they’re decent folks.

    They're all just like Joy Bayhar, the only difference is she can't contain it as well and lets the hate flow like a river from her mouth.

    Sad to say, but I think you're right. There's little doubt CNN and MSNBC have become propaganda wings of the left or Democratic Party while Fox serves that same purpose for the Republicans and the right. The major over the air networks all have moved left, not as bad as CNN and MSNBC, but they're working on it.

    Bias used to be covert, now it is becoming more and more overt. Especially on cable. Meanwhile, trust in the media to report the news fairly, accurately and fully is at its lowest point ever, 32%. It was once as high as 72% back in 1976. there has been a steady decline ever since as the media has taken sides in our political battles instead of just reporting on them.

    On what are you basing your 75% rejection rate?

    News media changed with the internet, before news needed to be accurate, this made the media reliable and that garnered audience and advertising revenue. Now the media aims to satisfy the greatest number and will sacrifice accuracy for audience.

    Makes sense to me. The news channels are all about ratings and viewership.

    Think about the EXACT wording of the Title:

    ___________


    How is that a Bad Thing?

    I think it is only natural that a past leader be honored at the time of his death. And, of course, all the discussion will be glowing. Would you expect the media to trash him at this time? The discussions that I heard today were of his military service, his love for his family and his goodness as a man. Because I didn't know him personally, I will assume he was a great husband, father and grandfather. That, along with his lengthy service to his country, warrants all knives be put away and praise him in those areas worthy of praise.

    It isn't for those who embrace a propaganda Ministry tied to promoting a single ideology.

    History has not recorded good things resulting from news becoming messaging.

    Print media would tout the number of copies printed and the broadcasters had ratings to measure their audiences, their consumers justified their advertising prices. Figures on online followers are much more easily manipulated (and it looks like there actually is a lot of this going on), but the online following is also more interactive, information is being tailored to suit an audience.

    When H.W. Bush was president he was compared to other presidents before and after his term and he did not compare all that well even though he was a fine gentleman. When H.W.Bush died he was compared to the present president we have and that is why H.W. has received so much praise. Comparing him to the flea ridden trump makes H.W. appear to be one of the greatest presidents ever.

    You are correct. However, it seems you made it like these young people are "snowflakes" when the fact is:

    However, the overall most common cause for rejection is simple: obesity. According to a 2009 report from Mission: Readiness, "27 percent of young Americans are too overweight to join the military." Not all of them have attempted to join of course, but the pool from which the military may draw upon for recruits is nearly 30% smaller due to obesity

    I seem to recall a certain First Lady at least attempted to resolve the issue, but y'all say F' it, let the kids eat the unhealthy food school serves.

    In this case the liberal media might be right. The vast majority of Americans long for a presidential President like H.W. instead of the narcissistic, incompetent, tweeting idiot we have know.

    Did you see the ceremony today? Past Presidents normally stay above the fray. It was obvious that our past Presidents at the ceremony dislike Trump intensely.

    I never liked Bush. He was a Saudi puppet and a traitor.

    You sound like your typical millennial recruit who doesn't know how to use a compass and read a map and is lost.

    The article is from 2014.

    Not all millennials are snowflakes and I would say the majority of millennials aren't snowflakes.

    But the younger millennials like David Hogg are the first generation to be exposed and indoctrinated in cultural-marxism every day from birth.
