[POLL] United States Presidential Elections 2016

[Dotini]

If FOX are the ones conducting the poll, do you think it's going to be balanced and impartial?

It was a CNN poll I was thinking of, but it was unbalanced anyway. No news agency is truly objective. They all have an axe to grind.

Edit: It is important to note that with Roger Ailes now out at Fox, they will switch their prejudices away from conservative sex, fear and paranoia toward prejudices more congenial to the Murdoch family, likely liberal sex, fear and paranoia.

So, those DNC email leaks, eh?

Does Fox have a history of conducting polls that don't line up with the myriad of other polls that are released on a regular basis?

Except that's MILF.

I mean... To each their own I guess.

"For Sale, French Army Rifle. Never used, dropped once."

Off-topic, but I hate this old, tired joke. More French soldiers died on the battlefield in the First World War than all the American casualties in all the wars the US has participated in. The casualties had a huge impact on the demographics of France after the war & an even bigger impact on the psyche of the war-scarred nation. I really feel it is ignorant & inappropriate to joke about the grim reality of war in this way.

 

[Dotini]

Poor Biggles needs trigger warnings.

 

[Tornado]

Maybe France shouldn't have lost then.

Tumblr is leaking again.

America was only in the war for about a year, up until then they were funding both sides. WWI was mostly centred on the Franco-German border so it was inevitable that the huge bulk of causalties were from that area of the mainland.

The casualties had a huge impact on the demographics of France after the war & an even bigger impact on the psyche of the war-scarred nation.

The same is true for many countries around her too. It was the last of the massed-infantry wars and the first of the technology wars, it was carnage and quite awful. British losses weren't as high as in the American Civil War, of course, but they were considerable.

I really feel it is ignorant & inappropriate to joke about the grim reality of war in this way.

I shan't apologise for offending you, perhaps you should look at the surrender that spawns that kind of British joke? As the saying goes; if you didn't laugh you'd cry.

On-Topic: Trump gets Kained.

As a banner pops up at the top asking for me to sign my name "Trump doesn't speak for me": paid for by Hillary Clinton fund...

(CNN)The head of the Democratic National Committee will not speak at the party's convention this week, a decision reached by party officials Saturday after emails surfaced that raised questions about the committee's impartiality during the Democratic primary.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whose stewardship of the DNC has been under fire through most of the presidential primary process, will not have a major speaking role in an effort "to keep the peace" in the party, a Democrat familiar with the decision said. The revelation comes following the release of nearly 20,000 emails.
One email appears to show DNC staffers asking how they can reference Bernie Sanders' faith to weaken him in the eyes of Southern voters. Another seems to depict an attorney advising the committee on how to defend Hillary Clinton against an accusation by the Sanders campaign of not living up to a joint fundraising agreement.

My cache is clean I reset my chrome two days ago due to slow connects and a virus from using vipbox too much, you're a Hillary fan to begin with. I don't like either, and I especially don't respond well to links that show political bias after flaming the opponent.

She's been questioned since she took over the roll, but I feel she's just picking up where Hillary's running mate left off. So I find it quite interesting that this comes to light right after Kaine is announced VP. This whole thing is such a joke, why people are siding one way or the other is beyond me, but I do feel a bit for the Sanders crowd.

Wow, that's horrible. You're telling me that a private citizen, in business to make money, invited the leader of one of the world's largest democracies to an event, and in an attempt to secure good relations with the leader of a country with 150 million citizens, actually flattered him? Absolutely unfathomable!! Has this ever happened before? This is breaking news folks!!

This is exactly the response I would expect from you, deflection and sarcasm while ignoring the implications of the Russian's direct influence of the election of the next U.S. President.

I did. I saw this;

I thought it represented a piss poor standard of journalism.

I agree with @Johnnypenso, it's hardly a heinous crime to dine with political elites. In fact... if Trump is to be elected he'd better get used to it. Or continue to be used to it, depending on how you look at it.

You'll need to point something out for me though; how does Trump receiving a giftbox from Putin influence the election?

No you didn't see that you saw a donkey's ass Ten, you need to clean your cache and open your eyes. I mean I even did some checking and found politico and opensecrets lists Washington post as a contributing donation, as well as the owner's other companies. A little one called Amazon.

But hey open your eyes!!!


Oh and the ever "wonderful" I hate your drinks Bloomberg will endorse Clinton.

 

[mustafur]

America is soo ruined by this crap.

Washington Post is probably the most Pro Hillary news out there as well.

More than CNN?

CNN is today a very ok channel, when not in the heat of a "breaking news", and even then it's not worse than any other 24/7 news channel i know.

When a candidate makes a five years old answer during an interview, is it a problem that the interviewer throw the true to the candidate face?

To you it's probably partiality, to me it's professionalism.

You can't blame a media to show a bad picture of a candidate since any neutral fact checking media shows he's saying lies all the time.

Since a Trump election would be a disgrace to US, why blame any media that would not bend reality to make it suits Trump declarations? (i would have written program, if only he have any besides building a 2-5-10-[whatever-he'll-say-next-time] billions dollars wall)

 

[stonesfan129]

CNN is a major Clinton donor. Why would they give you the unbiased truth about her political opponent?

 

[Johnnypenso]

This is exactly the response I would expect from you, deflection and sarcasm while ignoring the implications of the Russian's direct influence of the election of the next U.S. President.

You mean objectivity about the relevance of a private billionaire doing what private billionaires around the world do who aren't in political office? What do you want him to do? Ignore legal avenues of building his business to his personal detriment and the detriment of his family and employees because he might, someday be POTUS? Discontinue building positive relationships with world leaders?

 

[Sanji Himura]

Leaked DNC emails confirm the party's involvement in at least two anti-Trump protests, may be more.

CNN is a major Clinton donor. Why would they give you the unbiased truth about her political opponent?

Agreed. CNN's parent, Time Warner is the 7th largest contributor to the Clinton Foundation. No chance in hell would they be impartial.

And TWC's not hiding their support for her either:

Why would one think any news reporter is unbiased? Being made by humans, who have a culture and personal history, information is neither unbiased guaranteed.
But all this is irrelevant when talking about factual matters, it's not testimony or reports of things we didn't see by ourselves.

What's your point? All American casualties in all the wars US soldiers have participated in.

Around one & a half million French soldiers died in WW1, not exactly a laughing matter. I'm not "offended" - I just think it's an idiotically smug comment from someone who has never experienced anything remotely like the death & destruction faced by soldiers in the first World War.

 

[Tornado]

So?

I think you're confusing me with someone else... unless you can show me where I laughed at it?

Because they have a moral obligation to be unbiased. The fact people have allowed them to do things and make such grotesque networks as Fox and NBC be so politically divided is an issue.
