2012 Election Megathread

For the most part, it is, but republicans have stufffests when CNN promotes something they disagree with.  If you watch Fox News, you aren't a credible source.

Except media is inherently liberal because free media is a liberal ideal. Which means nearly every media source is going to be, consciously or not, left-leaning except intentionally right ones. So if a balanced media diet is your goal, you need to get information from left and right sources, which may include Fox News.

Therefore, if someone watches Fox News and other news sources they may be a very very credible source.

Yeah, and so can any other source of information.

I watch Presidental Debates and stuff, they seem to be the most useful source of information. Then again they could be lies but it seems less likely I guess.

and tv can't?

I never said that. TV can lie, too.

Grow or die.

The main thing any person does in a debate is lie because they know the majority of people will never look it up.

Excuse me?  How the hell is media inherently liberal?  What the hell are you even implying by free media?

Presidential debates as a source of information?  My god, you need to learn how to inform yourself better.

You're pulling a baseless claim out of your ass to state the credibility of a news source which is run by sheer greed.

Well I meant that's more of the base for my information. Sure they could be lies, but I usually look into it deeper.

Your statement seems kind of extremely excruciatingly contradictory.

Obama seems to hope more then he does.

Your statement seems kind of extremely excruciatingly contradictory.

I said I mainly get my information from stuff they say, then I said never mind that's more of a base for my opinion and I look into it deeper. There you go.

Question: where you you get your credible information from?

Question: where you you get your credible information from?

NPR, CNN, Huffington Post, and many, many more.  I try to look for an individual story on as many sites as possible.

I like Huffington Post

How about we settle down for a moment then realize how much both candidates suck, then realize America's probably still gonna suck either way?

Basically, Obama didn't seem capable before and probably not now.

Romney seems to be experienced, but we don't know if his plan will actually work.

So they both kinda suck.
