Otherwise we get a repeat of Ted Cruz misunderstanding Dr. Seuss whenever we want to pass a traffic law. Yeah, I don't like it because even if we win the Senate in 16, we'll lose it again in 18.

It's tough for me because my natural sympathies lie with the press and usually I scoff at people who whine about media bias but there really does seem to be a systemic pattern of bad stories about the Clintons. Or maybe I'm just consumed by my own biases

AMorePerfctGoonion posted:Biases are like being crazy. If you're sane enough to wonder whether you are crazy or not, you almost certainly aren't. Similarly if you are self-reflective and thoughtful enough to consider your own biases, you're most likely one of the few members of America's ever-dwindling reality-based community I mean there's no question I'm biased, but I try to be as aware as possible of them and try to put them aside. Still, I can't listen to a Trump speech and accurately determine how it's landing with his supporters because it all sounds like insane racist rantings to me. Also the fact that I view Trump as an existential threat to human kind means, to me, that both-sides-ism is helping bring about the end of mankind. "Meteor, Humans Sound Off on Twitter"

Like, why was birtherism dropped as a campaign issue? Why has the press allowed that to go completely unchallenged since he got in the race? I get why the Clinton campaign doesn't raise it, they might see some vulnerability there because it can be tied back to pro-Clinton supporters from 2008. But the press?
