It’s more or less accurate, except at the top where the red team guy is respecting a woman.

The woman’s hair should be blonder, and she should be wearing more of a tradwife dress.

CNN? The channel that recently spent hours dissecting every stutter and stumble Biden made and just plain refused to talk about the vicious lies and ad hom attacks Trump spent the entire debate spewing, and just didn’t find it worth mentioning how he avoided answering several super important questions? That’s who they think the left gets news from?
Like, at least put the NPR on there lol.

Your mistake is thinking democrats are “the left” lol
- rand_alpha19 ( @rand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.com ) 22•2 months ago
Yeah, it’s hard to explain in the US and Canada, where there are only two major parties, that they don’t represent two ends of a political spectrum. They’re just two dominant parties that have different ideas; on a lot of things, they even agree and don’t hide it.
I wish we, as kids in society, had learned more about specific right-wing and left-wing policies in history and civics so that this distinction could be made more clear. Or at least that we were taught what liberalism is and what neoliberalism is and how they’re different.
But we didn’t and weren’t, so when people think “liberal” they think “left,” and we’re all worse off for it.

But we didn’t and weren’t
Deliberately of course, precisely to maintain ignorance, and keep the Overton window firmly on the right…

You may want to familiarize yourself with the term “colloquialism”.
- DessertStorms ( @DessertStorms@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 5•2 months ago
That doesn’t magically make democrats “the left” (E: and therefore doesn’t explain why they wouldn’t be fans of CNN, being centrists, at best) lmao

Their change has been fairly recent. They have a right winger running the show now and he wants to court more Republicans.
He was even quoted as saying (paraphrasing) “fox news has a good model to emulate, all opinion shows surrounding an actual news show.”
/Vomit
- intensely_human ( @intensely_human@lemm.ee ) 1•2 months ago
But that is a good model. Separate the opinion shows from the news shows.
- Asafum ( @Asafum@feddit.nl ) 2•2 months ago
That’s not what they mean, they already are separated they just act like they’re news and have the little “opinion” thing on the bottom of the screen for legal purposes.
What CNN seems to be saying is they want more opinion shows than actual news. When your show is classified as opinion you can lie as much as you want as long as it’s not slandering a corporation that will sue you (dominion and fox)

I’m Japanese and I can tell you they have no idea. The comic just makes no sense to me because of that. Most can’t even tell the difference between the two parties. They can’t even tell the difference between political left and right.
Pacifists fear Trump. Nationalists think Trump is a savior. That’s all. They are both conservatives, by the way.

The handshake is a ruse. He’s exploiting her. She’s probably got a startup and he’s providing some kind of building blocks she needs and she’s paying out the nose because she needs his shit. He’s probably hitting on her with cheap jewelry.

I saw this cartoon a while back.
Democrat’s View of the World = A globe with USA shown divided between Red and Blue and the rest of the world in various pastels. There are a few black skull spots labeled ‘Terrorism.’
GOP View of the World = Same globe, except there are only two colors. The USA Red States and everything else is ‘Terrorism.’
