What's the BBC's "heavy bias" ?
I knew that Rasmussen poll showing Biden up by 8 would still have their traditional 5 point GOP bias.
A mathematical certainty my friend.I knew that Rasmussen poll showing Biden up by 8 would still have their traditional 5 point GOP bias.
The River, like the Bowling Green Massacre are just alternative facts.
I saw a Jacobin writer try and spin Trump's unhinged ramblings of a maniac as being something only media pundits and elitists will take issue with but the working class all love and resonate with.
It reinforces my belief extremely online commentators claiming to represent the working man first are the real out of touch people. They think in theoretical terms centered around class. Nearly 90% of black voters rejected Trump last time. Are they elitists? Get real.
The majority of working class people aren't brash, obnoxious, foghorns spewing with anger at invisible forces. You behave like Trump does and you'd get loathed pretty quickly.
There are a segment of people who love his bullying. They're not as big as they think.

I'm still waiting for that @Libano to provide evidence for his bold claims about BBC being as biased as Fox.
You're not really wrong, completely, but it might be worth remembering that Trump got 46% of the votes in the last election. And at that point everyone should have been perfectly aware of what kind of person he was. Grab them by the pussy was the least of his scandals.
He thinks it's like golf and the lowest score is best.
The BBC has a global reach and audience, broadcasting in 43 languages . Does the NRK not wish it did too?
The Donald: "There are three kinds of people in this world. Those that can count and those that can't."
Either that or he thinks it's like his monthly syphilis test.
I agree no question.
Just can't fathom there are people on the left making these arguments. This guy works for Jacobin - a magazine that's core reader base wants to guillotine Jeff Bezos yet think this guy appeals to the working class
I guess they're the same people who think Joe Rogan represents the working class because he's confident in his ignorance despite never having a job outside of showbiz

Nothing fashy about this, nothing at all. He also proclaimed that citizen poll watchers will be at the drop off locations (next tweet in thread)...
He deleted the tweets. People jumped on his stupid idea of working class debunking his first narrative. Post-debate polls showing Biden won and had higher favorables debunked his second narrative. And that one Telemundo "poll" being unscientific because it was a twitter poll debunked his third. Twitter polls are easily hijacked as seen when Peter Crouch beat Harry Kane to be striker in Spurs team of the decade 2010-19 despite leaving Spurs in 2011. Screenshots:
This is very true. The US has a population of some 330M, so many times larger than the next 'western' country. That means that small groups of crazies are much bigger than relatively equally small groups elsewhere. Plus, the US is closely watched by the entire 'western' world, so we notice what's happening there much more than in, say, Germany - which has actually had a lot of COVID-19 protests as well, and has a large number of extreme-right organizations that have even been committing terror acts in the past few years and have started to influence national politics through the rise of the AfD. But non-Germans are unlikely to know that, while we do notice every weird fart in the US.
It also doesn't help that Trump is a complete trainwreck, of course. If the US president and opposition were all more sane and cooperative, it all wouldn't be as attractive as a spectacle.
That 'heavy heavy bias' appears to be left or right depending on who's disliking the BBC. Apart from, there are also good national news services elsewhere. From what I know, that includes CBC and Radio-Canada in Canada, NOS in the Netherlands, and Yle in Finland. They just don't have the same reach as the BBC - partly because they don't cover international affairs as widely (and because two of these aren't in English, of course).

Yeah that's some pretty dumb tweets. It's always been odd to me how people can just generalize and say working class people think x.
Rick Scott has really let himself go since getting elected to the Senate...
And the really scary part is that if the election had just been white men voting, he’d have won with 62% of the vote. Just white people and he’d have still won with 54%. He actually won with just 45% incidentally.

Cue ‘not her first virus’ jokes.
Could this be an elaborate way to call off the next two debates?
Doesn’t look like Trump is going to limit any movement tomorrow...
Part of me wants Trump to be healthy until he gets defeated on November 3rd. After that, well....
Trump has covid. Just announced
Hope Biden doesn’t do something asinine like suspending his campaign.
This can only go in Trumps favour which is incredibly annoying.
Ya I'm concerned and stressed about this being the case. I don't trust this feckin country.
Cortes is such a fecking smug twat.
Yup, gets the taxes story off the front page.
