People have to got to stop taking something from Twitter as gospel. You are being played by people and an algorithm with real bias. And you fall for it every time.

A friendly PSA for those who apparently struggle with this: 

It's possible to believe the media is biased WITHOUT immediately believing everything you see from alternative sources that fit your worldview.

Doesn't seem like a stretch to me.

Something similar was confirmed in the past.

Brazile: Leaking town hall topics to Clinton campaign 'mistake I will forever regret' - POLITICO

Head of DNC leaked to Hillary, the preferred candidate over the populist.

Now, we're in the most important election ever to save our democracy. I'd say just about anything is on the table.

You should start thinking before believing.

It's so frustrating. It takes literally two seconds of critical thought. "Why would 60 Minutes, one of the few news sources left with real credibility built on decades of trustworthy reporting, risk throwing that all away to splice some shit together for Kamala Harris, thereby lying to their audience?"

I finally figured out my real problem with this stuff.....its just so insulting to people's intelligence. You really expect everyone to eat this shit up and when they push back and tell you that it's stupid you get all butthurt. As if we're the ones with a problem.

Look, I saw the initial clip and was not very impressed with her answer.  Bill followed up with another question and she gave, in my opinion, better answer. 60 minutes edited out the first answer for a reason.  

Here is the edit in written form from a politico reporter

Physician.

Have served (no longer thank goodness) as Chief of my department at major metropolitan hospital. 

I could have guessed. Physicians are known in the VC community as gullible rubes.

This is such a genius post. 

The thing that amazes me about the latest rube incarnation Conqweef is that you would think after years of reading this site, which is full of a lot of pretty smart people, he would finally start to examine his own stupidity and realize that he’s been completely fooled by a bunch of propagandists with alternative agendas. But no, he just continues to never learn a damn thing. He’s as dumb today as he was the first day he joined this site so many years ago. It’s amazing someone can have that low of an IQ.

Again let's look at probably the biggest propaganda campaign in our country the last year plus. Biden's mental health. Were you calling out that he was obviously mentally impaired? I don't think so. Only when it was impossible to hide and the media told you so did you realize, oh Biden might not be all there.

You must be fucking incensed that the media is doing it all over again and not calling out Trump's incredibly obvious mental decline every time he opens his mouth.

Please show your work.  I can find no media sources factually reporting that Biden is "sharp as a tack."

I can find lots of magat sources taking issue with that phrasing.

I can also find media sources reporting various Biden insiders as saying he's "sharp" or "sharp as a tack."  Such as Mayorkas. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/mayorkas-defends-biden-sharp-intensely-probing-detail-oriented-rcna138192  Also Michael Douglas. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/he-s-sharp-as-a-tack-actor-michael-douglas-defends-biden-s-mental-acuity-during-cnn-interview/ar-AA1np5QF

And a Republican Senator in 2021. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/26/biden-health-republican-senators-477813

Of course, quite clearly implicit in that reportage is that Biden was not, in fact, sharp as a tack.  https://www.ap.org/news-highlights/elections/2024/biden-at-81-often-sharp-and-focused-but-sometimes-confused-and-forgetful/

None of the media sources I can find aver or allege themselves that Biden is, in fact, sharp as a tack, only that others seem to think so.

Also, let's compare reportage of Biden's medical condition with Trumps.

Biden 2023 https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/16/politics/read-biden-physical-summary/index.html

Biden 2024 https://www.npr.org/2024/02/28/1234438761/biden-physical-report including https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Health-Summary-2.28.pdf

Trump. https://www.npr.org/2023/11/21/1214389287/trump-medical-report-weight including https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news/da9bdc90-9ab2-4da8-819b-6fda5240a337

The SOTU was in January, and IIRC, the consensus among almost everyone was that Biden looked sharp and capable. 

Once he shit the bed at the debate, the media was 24/7 "Biden has lost it!"

Contrast that, of course, with the media on the right who has not uttered a single peep about Trump's obvious cognitive decline. The fact that GRUHorn thinks its the gravest injustice and political coverup that Biden is in the WH, but still plans on voting for Trump, tells you everything you need to know about his "concern."

Not that anyone needed a reminder of what a disingenuous piece of shit he is.

The cognitive dissonance required to pretend that the last four years hasn't been filled to the absolute brim with media stories questioning Biden's age and cognitive function is truly something else.

Yes. Once he shit down his leg in front of the world and it was immediately clear he was going to lose, the knives came out. Crazy how that works.

I have no idea who those people speaking are.  Reporting people's opinions is not propaganda.  Every single article I can find that reports someone saying he is sharp has raised the question of his mental acuity, leaving it to the reader to determine whether to believe the asserted source.

Asserting that he is sharp as a tack is another matter entirely.  

I gave you real citations to media and you give me some magat bullshit.  Because you are in thrall to maga bullshit.

Why do you think physicians are such an easy mark for PE? Docs have made a lot of bankers and PE funds very, very rich over the years. Bad with money? Yep. But also rubes that let investors convince them that they can solve all of their problems. See any parallels?

You can play dumb, but there were obvious TV personalities/reporters all over that montage. It was an obviously false narrative, pushed by politicians, parroted by media, swallowed by the believers.

Projection.  It's you who swallow anything parroted by media.  Unless it's that librul media.  Then it's propaganda.

I and most of us here are capable of distinguishing opinion from fact and assessing the credibility of the opinion.

And, there was very extensive discussion here, among the CR "cabal," of Biden's acuity and competence long before the disastrous debate.  We all knew it was a potential problem.

Now, you do Trump.  Does anything about his mental acuity raise questions in your learned eyes?
