*** The Official MAGAposting thread ***

[MadMojoMonkey]

I was trying to defend Republicans as just people who prioritize different aspects of governance as more vital and important than Democrats do in a conversation with someone who is staunchly Democratic.

I pointed out that in today's cancel culture, it's all too easy to only listen to people who agree with you and to only watch News agencies who are biased in favor of what you already believe.

They then said something to the effect of, "but why is it that one side at least tries to give a truthful take on the policies and their effects while the other side just spews propaganda and BS?"

I wanted to say, "Maybe you're seeking out nonsense and BS representations of Republican ideals," but I had to admit that I do not know of any right-leaning news agencies that I'd classify as "at least trying to give a truthful take on the policies and their effects."


Can anyone please help me, because I kinda desperately need this. I've tried to watch Fox News or other right-leaning news broadcasts, and it just all seems like lies and obfuscation to me. Yes, I can site a number of left-leaning news agencies that do exactly this - The Young Turks, e.g.

Since I don't believe there is any unbiased news left in America, I'll settle for less.
I'm trying to actually find any reasonable, thoughtful, less biased news source with Republican bias.


If anyone has any ideas, please help me. I don't want to ignore the intelligent arguments which motivate Republican policies, but I'm simply not finding any source thereof.

fwiw by international metrics I'd rank the NYT as a conservative newspaper. Very matter of fact, very corporate friendly... they're just not crazy evil so they pass as left wing.

I've posted this before but I really recommend reading this: https://waitbutwhy.com/2019/08/story-of-us.html

It's a series of blog posts, but probably better to think of it as a book. It's the most thorough and insightful look into how humans with their inherent biases struggle with politics.

Edit: and to state the obvious, that's not a news source, rather an exploration on why the situation is what it is.
