Political funny picture thread, part 3

[JettaKnight]

Why that appears informative (thanks for posting it somewhere), I don't see how it's funny. Am I missing something? (I'm told I often do.)

Interesting to see how far CNN is away from actual reporting.

I certainly do not agree with the placement of several of those "news" sources.

That's the funny part.

Maybe we need another thread, as to discuss it here would give the mods much grief.

That's the funny part.

Ah, now the same chart, but rearranged by INGO would be funny!

Bloomberg is at the very top and to the right.

I agree with infowars placement.

That's the funny part.

Thanks. Now I see the humor in it.

Well, we don't seem to teach history anymore.
Just indoctrination.

As someone who has had 4 children in IN public schools [with the youngest having graduated last year] I can attest that History is only one of many things that they no longer teach. It's beyond sadness and sarcasm, it's an absolute disgrace.

I don't really disagree much with the left/right placement in the chart, or the relative placement to each other of the organizations in the vertical fact vs. spin aspect. However, I do think there are way too many organizations presented as unbiased and factual. I would move almost all of them down the curve to one side or the other.

PBS? Time? Maybe compared to Salon they’re center right. I’ll give them the benefit of doubt, that the left space was too crowded to fit them there.

 

[Birds Away]

Given that the center has shifted radically to the left over the last 30 years, I suppose that is reasonably accurate from their perspective.

Is it possible that my point of view is as skewed as theirs?

Heisenburg uncertainty principle

Depends. If by observing his point of view we may unknowingly skew it, this might apply. At any moment he may be skewed or unskewed. It's all very skewey.

I think the left gotten lefter, so maybe the media has, at least for some subjects.

I used to get grief from liberals about when I say the left got lefter. They insist it's the right that got "righter". I think they just dug in more to conserve the thinking that they could still hold onto, morally (most everyone agrees "Jim Crow" is immoral". JFK would be shunned by the left today, because he's further right than the SJW progressives which has taken over the Democratic party.

 

[2A_Tom]

If you compare JFK and GWB they had much in common.

They were both pretty far left.

The right has also shifted a good bit to the left, as well. Republicans today are more in line with Democrats of the 80s than Republicans from the same period.

I think the end of the Cold War caused a major shake up of both parties.....That had been our major concern for so long that when it ended both parties had to redefine themselves and still are redefining themselves to a certain extent....

I hate it when you are right.



Actually I am happy when we agree. It just irks me that you are right this time, because I wish it wasn't true.

On social issues, I'd say yeah, kinda. But not on the rest.
