MSNBC is nowhere close to being objective. They were struggling to find reasons for excuse Biden for what's going on until the whole democrat party started turning on biden.

US elections. It's only a few percentage points difference anyway. 

But you really hear anger against the democrats now in a way that wasn't really there in previous elections. 

USA is a never ending swing between the Hubris of the Left and the Unbridled capitalism of the Right.

I am not neutral because I am a Trump supporter and I can tell you CNN not that bad.

Fox News got caught with it's pants down lying about the election. 

Fox News agreed Tuesday to pay Dominion Voting Systems nearly $800 million to avert a trial in the voting machine company’s lawsuit that would have exposed how the network promoted lies about the 2020 presidential election

So which US news media is objective to you?

Lol not even close... Trump lies and gets away with it all the time. CNN put lefty spin but it is at least fact checked

Harry Enten (guy in video) also is one of the best pollster he only care about numbers.. even by Ohio standards Vance is very mediocre

i dont think Trump will ever pick a credible VP.... not after Mike Pence refused to support his coup.

None. They are all playing to left/right voters. Especially in this day and age where most people consume news from social media. 
Their biz model works on the above ONLY. 

If i want to read something more objective, probably BBC coverage. 

Breaking Points on youtube has both a Republican and Democratic host each. You can watch each segment to form your own opinion.

Our friendly IB was trying to push this angle for days after shooting. I went look it up... first broke as AP story that wires just auto upload base on syndication. Of cos corrected within minutes but the main point is that it was wire that f**d up and the ones who want to make it a media bias story only selectively pick out their usual beating targets to single out

Not to deny they are bias and make mistake but the deliberate lying is only done by one side.

Not denying that Trump lies so much, that most people just don't even bother to fact check him anymore. 
MAGA is great, so what's a big deal about lies.

Maybe Trump is more unabashed about it. Whereas the lies that the Left come up with are more subtle, and actually seem more conniving 😁

Lol the funny part is this evil left with woke agenda... many of the things they do are totally normal things we do in Sg as part of racial harmony... but no one call us woke 🤣

hmm singapore is very center or right leaning of left. And our approach is very pragmatic. 
Of course, the most important is there's broad based support by the people. Even if Hamas-Gaza. 

Democratic party and their education system is very infected by super left policies.
DEI
Pronouns/trans rights. LGBTQ etc.
BLM 

All these things will be quashed in SG without hesitation.

Sometimes it's interesting to see what the algorithm recommends you.

I'm sure the tiktok algo is much much more aggressive anecdotally from people comparing the social media sites.

But even youtube. So i watched Breaking points video on KH's potential VP picks. 
Then it started recommending all kinds of media site from MSNBC and dodgy channels saying that Trump is quavering in his boots from KH's fund raising charge. which is all kinda BS. 
Vance's ex-schoolmates will supposedly diss him. 

Then cos occasionally i watch right wing stuff like Rubin Reports and Matt Walsh. Sky sports australia will start saying that Biden needs to step down now, and KH blah blah blah. 

 

I find the YT algorithm far too aggressive.

I see more than one suggestion that I want to see when logging in, watch one video and all gone/changed and cannot find again.

Hops between MSNBC and Sky Australia, so far from left to right and back again my neck hurts. With China Insights thrown in from time to time I'm susrpised I never get excerpts from Dumbo. Lucky that I don't have FB, IG, TT, and whatever else otherwise would sure need a lobotomy.

Not to deny they are bias and make mistake but the deliberate lying is only done by one side. Both sides are bias but only one side intentionally lies even repeating lies until kena sued and payout hundreds of millions

DEI difference is because we have fewer racist than them so no need so strong policy but bedrock racial equality basis is the same. Be careful that we dont swallow the white nationalist attack on DEI wholesale because many parts of our system of nondiscrimination is the same: which part of Diversity, Equality and Inclusivity are not Singapore values?

That's the problem with DEI. On theory it sounds good, in reality, it's bumiputra and affirmative action all over again except with gender beyond male/females and racial quotas. 

That's why lot of Leftist policies all sound very good. Equality for all -> communism.
DEI -> Affirmative action

In execution, all the common sense is taken out and becomes a caricature of the original intent.

I learn a few days ago that Ruby Bridges, the first black girl to go to a desegregated school, is younger than Trump.

If you compare timeline, South Africa only ended Apartheid about 30 yrs after USA

I dont deny AA can go too far but denying there is a racial equality problem or attacking every attempt to solve it is one reason USA has the hateful politics we see, racial inequalities cannot be solved

You can't make people not be racist. We can only make institutions not be racist. 

We should be very thankful for the situation in sg.

So is SG left, right or centre?

Let's take housing we all need somewhere to live.

85% live in public subsidized housing. That's more than all the communist countries.

SG got Medisave and  Medicare wonderful things that Obama fought so hard to get and USA only got recently.

You get knocked down in USA and the ambulance come, the medic will check if your credit card is broken.

SG we have wonderful hospitals and polyclinics. The best in the world.

Schools I think they like to independent these days. As long as they take taxpayer money I can them public schools.

These days it's very trendy for people to say I don't like socialism or left wing politics.

Then do apply HDB and help shorten the queue and don't take HDB grants.

That's my tax money to your HDB grant.

And don't go restructured hospitals and polyclinics shorten the queue for the rest of us.

And please don't take mrt and buses these are all left wing policies and socialism.

People that say I don't like left wing policies and socialism don't know what they are talking about.
