Excuse me but July 2021 is months BEFORE January 2022. So for someone to say NPR didn't cover the lifting of COVID19 restrictions in the UK is a lie.

Those restrictions in July 2021 were the recommendations of 6 feet apart, socializing, etc. Very different than the significant, major ones announced now in 2022. NPR should have reported this.
Hence why it's selective information you are exposed to.

Your link is July, 2021. Covers gatherings. Pre-omnicron.

@ColiBreh1 's tweet post is Jan, 24th, 2022.
All mandates removed, including vaccine passports. That's huge.
But you didn't know that. Your NPR news is different and 8 months old.

Per usual, you're deliberately misinformed. NPR has done more deep dive coverage on vaccine passports than any other news radio organization.
Unlike you, NPR is NOT covering COVID19 with a political agenda.

As for your belief that CNN is trying to shield Avenatti, they were one of the first networks to report Avenatti was charged with stealing hundreds of thousands from his former client Stormy Daniels.
And I promise you CNN reported the results of Avenatti's trial on air. Whoever told you they didn't is lying. Why would they write so many articles online about it but no report on it on their cable network??

You stay looking for straw men on the left so that Fox News, OAN and Breitbart don't look so bad. Sorry, but MSNBC/CNN are nowhere as unprofessional as those right wing 'news' sources.

LOL. Your NPR link goes back even further, to April 2021.

The bottom line which you keep dancing around is, they have NOT covered the significant lifting of covid mandates in Britain.
Read the Twitter post again.

As for CNN, they were NOT the first to report he was shafting Stormy. Hilarious you even wrote that.

Once again, reading is fundamental - l said "CNN Prime Tme, top story". Didn't happen, AB.
 
CNN covers hard news for almost 20 hours a day. It simply is not credible to believe CNN who was followed the Avenatti case and reported on him in a negative light, refused to report the verdict when Avenatti was convicted.

That makes no sense. Unless someone is sitting at home all day recording CNN news reports, this doesn't pass the smell test.
CNN covered the case, covered the trial, but didn't report the verdict?? Believe what you want to believe.

Batya Unger Sargon to me isn't a reliable source. She's a female Glenn Greenwald, a progressive who spends more time criticizing the mainstream left than the current Trump led conservative movement that believes a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol is political discourse and that truth is subjective.

The woman basically doesn't know what she's talking about.

For Ungar-Sargon, the current polarization in America is not due to politics or racism, but reflects a class struggle based on economics as a well-paid media cadre sides with prosperous fellow citizens harboring the same disdain for the inhabitants of flyover country, especially those who have not gone to college. Partisan and racial divisions are highlighted in mainstream media as a “smoke screen” for this division by class.

Bullshit. Most of Trump's supporters aren't the rural poor. Most are White middle class and financially stable. The Trump movement isn't a class issue, it's an ideological one. Trump tapped into White grievance, convinced White men they are actually victims of racial discrimination and that a global pandemic actually is a plot hatched by a chief scientist at the CDC and the Chinese government.
You can have her

Yeah, if you live in a flyover state and believe Trump is some kind of American working class hero who all of sudden really cares about you, you are an idiot.
And that's not an insult or saying millions of Americans are stupid, it means they are willfully ignorant and choose not to look skeptically at a man who has NEVER IN HIS LIFE cared or worked as an advocate for anyone except himself and his family.

Super progressive Bernie Sanders has been pushing for free college tuition forever, now supported by the moderate left, and she believes the divide between the Left and Right is an economic and class one?

Sure. Whatever.

If you doubt me, name me ONE social policy/piece of legislation the Republicans are advocating for that benefits the majority of Americans? I thought so.

Gotta love when the token black conservatives who don't know much less like or even associate with other black folks are proclaiming fucked up white men are "the most black or blackest".......

True, on Fox News there are the token/Ruckus folks. Some with African sounding names.
 
There is so much division in this country, I don't see us ever getting back to living harmoniously together. All anyone has to do is read through the last several pages of this thread to see how divided we are as a nation.

The people who call themselves Democrats have dug their heels so deep in their ideology, they refuse to see that anything is wrong in their own party. Republicans are the most racist? Bitch, please.

Hillary allegedly keeping hot sauce in her purse and when asked if she's doing it because of votes, she asks back, "is it working?". "We have to bring them to heel".

Biden: if you don't know if you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black. Biden worried his children would grow up in a "racial jungle" because of desegregation: Biden Said in 1977 That Desegregation Would Create 'a Racial Jungle' (businessinsider.com)

Yeah, Dem voters keep willfully ignoring the blatant racism being displayed by their own party. Keep projecting it all on Republicans and ignoring the many Democrat politicians who are blatantly racist, including 46.

It's time to acknowledge the massive issues on BOTH sides of the aisle. Playing this good vs evil political party game is never going to bring us all back together.

Tribalism is the real problem. Too many people pick a team and give up thinking for themselves. The last few thousand years of human society have proven one immutable fact, humans are incapable of equitable and peaceful self-governance. So stop acting as if your team or their team matters. Only one being in the universe deserves unfettered allegiance, (he's the one who created the real Donkeys and Elephants) everyone else are just kids playing make-believe. So the best any of us can do is to try our best to be good people on a micro-level of society (family, friends, neighbors) and hope some of that decency makes its way to the macro-level of society.
