QPeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,
So you are saying it is the receptionist defense?
We understand. You have told us all how much smarter you are than everyone on this forum ad nauseam.

Like all media with integrity, they print corrections when they occasionally get it wrong. When is the last time you saw any Reichwing media do that? They generally need to be sued in order to force a retraction. See, e.g., Dominion vs. Fox News Corp.

I've subscribed to the NYT for years. It's got outstanding writing, worldwide coverage of events and news (not just the U.S.), and possesses a great deal of integrity. If you prefer your "news" to come in soundbites, there's Tiktok and other social media for that. If you want to learn more about an event, the NYT can provide that.
BTW You're right about MAGATs' take on the alleged slant. The truth does have a distinct LW bias.
Anyone surprised?

That is exactly what stupid people think.
A stupid person think 'low odds event never happen', we are a massive favorite... we are much stronger... and they have no Plan B.
Smart people and businesses ALWAYS have a Plan B even when they know the other option is remote.

And what motivates one that thinks Fox News sucks?
Sometimes and so is Fox sometimes. They all are sometimes.
Intelligence.
If you want to suppose there is some equivalency there...suppose it. I refuse to be amazed by what people suppose these days.

I have major problems with the unnecessary overzealousness of these convictions. Ryan Routh should have been charged (and convicted) of only two of the five charges levelled. The three major charges should never have been filed in the first place, and the judge should have thrown them out.
Ryan Routh should have only been charged with:
* Being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition (maximum penalty: 15 years in prison)
* Possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number (maximum penalty: 5 years in prison)
... and that's all for which prosecutors had evidence. But prosecutors were overzealous and went for the gold medal, leveling charges for which they had no evidence, but could nonetheless get an unwitting jury to convict. The judge should have tossed the following:
* Attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate (Maximum penalty: Life imprisonment): zero evidence
* Possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence (Maximum penalty: Life imprisonment): hinges on the claimed assassination attempt
* Assaulting a federal officer (Secret Service agent) (Maximum penalty: 20 years in prison): classic railroading on trumped-up charges
That last one really bothers me. Routh's attempt to avoid arrest caused him to swing his AK as he moved, prompting a SS agent to claim that Routh's AK was technically pointed in his general direction, which prosecutors framed as Routh having "aimed" his AK at the agent, leading prosecutors to file the charge of "Assaulting a federal officer."
I hope those last three are vacated while Routh is serving his well-deserved sentence for the first two.

Perhaps but the Dems actually are.
"Who leads on the economy? Republicans, by 7. Immigration, Republicans by 13. How about crime, a big issue for Donald Trump and the Republicans? Look at that, lead by 22 points. ... Whatever Democrats are doing, it ain't working. Republicans have the lead on all three issues," Enten said breathlessly on CNN about a September Washington Post/Ipsos poll. Enten continued with a damning declaration of Democrats' political status.
Polls show Americans don't trust Democrats on crime, economy. And for good reason. | Opinion
Immigration, crime and the economy are some of the top issues Americans cared about in 2024 election. Republicans have been proactive on all three.

But you’re even further left than them, by your own admission.
And they’re too far left for their own good.
On social issues, I am much further to the left than most people...Sanders, Klobuchar, for instance.
That is not something I am saying as an "admission"...I am bragging about it.
BUT...as I said, I am not a Democrat.
You are welcome to that opinion, Anon.
I disagree.
