I haven't looked at the video yet, but I'm hoping it includes the clip where she's asked how her presidency will be different from Obama, and her answer is that she's a woman.

Well unless she is a man I don't think she can lie out of that one.

CBS is one of the better outlets for getting the truth out at times and also good debates.

Along with CBS, I thought that ABC News had some of the best journalism for their Republican debate since Peter Jennings passed (it was a fluff news division for several years after his death). Both networks asked serious questions and had good debates (besides the mudslinging).

The only other one I appreciate is PBS, but they're a bit bias for the left, but at times they do a good job with their shows to put both on the hot seat.
 
TRUMP 34% CRUZ 22% RUBIO 21% 9 percent counted

Fox News calls North Carolina for Trump.

Schrodinger's Mexicans: So useless and lazy that they're a drain on the system and don't work, but also stealing our jobs!

The version of this I've seen is:

Schrodinger's Immigrant: Simultaneously stealing your job and too lazy to work.

So pointing out a simple fact is bias now?

No, but denying support (or being defensive) of a candidate you've already expressively said you support (along with your entire family) is awkward. Also it is bias, clearly you want Bernie to do this good because you want him to be the Democratic Nominee and overall Presidency.

I do support him. And all I was saying is that even though he didn't win in Nevada, he's closer to Clinton than Obama was in '08 and we all know how that went. So it's good news, for those of us that support him.

Yeah and I simply said I don't like optimistic or any open support of candidates but at the same time I wouldn't want to see Clinton have it easy so in that respect it's good he's doing well. But as a result of that it all comes back to what I don't like to begin with. Sort of catch 22 for me.

That's fine but last I checked we're not discouraged to do so unless I missed something. No offense, just felt like I was being attacked for throwing a small fact out there.

Didn't miss anything at all, no one was attacking you just pointing out the equal fact that of course you'd throw out such a statement because it works in your favor. True or not the importance is that such a closeness holds more value to you than say a democratic voter who has yet to decide between the two.

Just as you are open to show support, I'm equally allowed to express the opposite and do so for those of the right and not just the left. Both sides have jokes for candidates and I feel the expressive belief than any one of them can lead this nation to a better place and not more of the same static carry over from term to term is sadly fooling themselves. There I've fully expressed in detail the reasoning for my original statement to your fact.

Point: I'm not a fan of open political support off or online, but just because I'm not a fan does not in any way shape or form mean I'm telling you to stop. That isn't fair nor respectful.

Just didn't come across nicely for me, that's all. Similar to someone calling me a fanboy for something and I hate that word with a passion.

Carry on.

Well as I always say, tone in conveyed by the reader. I carried the same method to each subsequent statement yet the only critical issue you had was with the original, I feel perhaps if you pay attention to the following that reads after you'd see the dilemma I later on wrote out for you.

I never used fanboy or even hinted at it, the fact you drew this conclusion yourself makes me wonder of the security or lack of it toward your voting opinion. It's quite simple, you want Bernie to win? Yes. And him being at the heels of Clinton and not far off keeps hope alive for you that he can win? Seems so, thus such a poignant fact plays a prominent role to your wants of him winning. However, someone who doesn't care either way would most likely not see it as such and thus why I used bias to quickly explain why you felt the need to point out said fact.

Just trying to get you to see that not everything is as bad as it seems from when you first read, especially when you center in on a portion rather than the entire statement.

Hope this miscommunication doesn't happen again.

Because it's quite obvious on Internet sites when one person directly attacks someone else's previous remarks directly it's a flame war.

No different than being a grammar nazi, or saying one thing is better than the other with the follow-up of "So?"

The choice of words were probably not best either, for an indirect response.

Oh, well in that case. Completely my fault. ;)

I think the fact that bias is taken as a negative word to begin with was part of the issue, when I don't see it as such. He could have easily called me out on having equal bias because I was happy that Bernie wasn't going down without a fight. Low hanging fruit and all.

I don't think Bernie will win, I've already said why 👍 sorry r1600

Eh, it's not like anyone here is really in charge of much so who knows? Certainly not you. Let's just see how it goes. If there is one person who has all the momentum right now, his last name is Sanders.
