      MSNBC, CNN, NYT, WaPo and Politico, to name just a few examples, are usually joined at the hip with the Center Right to Right wing Dem leadership and when they disagree with them, it’s usually to go further right.

      I haven’t checked MBFC, the hobby of a right wing Zionist masquerading as an authority i bias and fact checking lately, but I’d be very surprised if it didn’t still pretend that all of those are center Left to Left.

        I’m sorry, but Democratic leadership, the Washington Post, and the New York Times are not “right wing.” The last Republican presidental candidate thje NYT endorsed was Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.

        They’re right wing to you and Lemmy, but Lemmy is not the center of America’s political compass. And I’m speaking as a rabid DJT hater who votes straight ticket Democrat, bar one primary I registered republican in just so I could vote against DJT.

          The only way that they’re not right of center is in relation to the GOP. Do you have ANY idea how much farther right than the policy positions of the greater population the media’s Overton window has drifted in recent decades?

          One party’s LITERALLY fascist and the other one’s close enough to willingly negotiate with it on everything.

          The Dem leadership is DEFINITELY right of center and so is the pro-cop pro-Israel pro- corporate billionaire-owned media.

          Just because conservative Democrats are the leftmost option offered in elections where the other candidate is a fascist or an anarcho-capitalist doesn’t mean that they’re left of center.
