The 2024 GOP Candidate

Except Zero Hedge, of course.

They would never dishonestly play on the biases and assumptions of their readers to get more eyes on their copy.

Hmm. Pretty tough to argue that they’re biased in favor of D or R, but I’m willing to hear your argument.

I’ll certainly admit their bias in favor of disaster porn/collapse/undermining the State, but... that’s kind of the attraction.

Seriously though, I’ve seen some weird pro Russian/Chinese stuff on there that I didn’t care to indulge in. Grains of salt, in all things.

I am curious why you moved the discussion from the bias and assumptions of the media consumer to the bias and assumptions of the media outlet when it is about Zero Hedge.

I thought that was what we were talking about, except for your comment on cynics. I may have mashed your comments up with TheOneX, sorry.

If we are talking about establishment conservatives and media outlets cynically manipulating their audience, then we are talking about the beliefs of the audience.

I don't know why the anti-establishment gets a special benefit of the doubt. Surely, anti-whatever can be used just a cynically as pro-whatever.

There are certainly anti-establishment types that are just using it to advance their own career.
