Applying to your news source: Overall, we rate CNN left biased based on editorial positions that consistently favors the left, while straight news reporting falls left-center through bias by omission. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks by TV hosts. However, news reporting on the website tends to be be properly sourced with minimal failed fact checks LEFT BIAS These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. I think it is more a matter of educated listening. There is dire need for people to be educated in comprehension and determining facts and data from opinions. Decades ago, the culture changes made it so that 'just the facts' approach did not bring in the views and ratings that sensational news did, and we started seeing reporters and news shows add in more casual talk and opinions. When you allow the human element in, or allow reporters to also comment and describe things, you invite bias regardless of the side. If our education kicked out more people with the logic to tell what is fact from what is opinion, 'bias' would not be an issue.

unemployment being low means very little when wages are so low and healthcare isn't provided. congratulations, you've got a **** ton of people who can't pay rent. probably working two 39.5 hour jobs so that they can afford the bare minimum health insurance that one job won't provide 'cause their boss won't let 'em have 40 hours. the stock market being high means absolutely nothing. do you even own capital? tell me about your factory. tell me about your restaurant. do you even own your house? are you still making car payments? why would you support capitalism in any form? pretty much the only socialist programs we have these days are corporate bailouts but I will tell you straight up, don't argue with old white people. most of them drank the Kool-Aid loooong ago, especially the men. their brains simply don't accept new information. they were alive at a time when you could work a minimum wage job and still pay for university, a car, and your own place. try doing that now, especially in a city where gentrification quadrupled rent prices and drove out the natives. Today's market is not that of 50 years ago. Then, we had more than 100 million less people in the USA. Then, you could get decent jobs without college, and more of the market was trade competitive, than tech competitive, and the level of 'outsourcing' was nowhere near as high . |

Trump is still a better president, than the four idiots who held the job before him. the only way one can believe this is if you are someone who has little to no idea how to verify legitimate sources, and believes a mass coordinated disinformation campaign, yet has so much pride they refuse to believe they could have possibly been fooled by propaganda probably the only good president we've ever had was Jimmy Carter, and he was just good, not great |

Unemployment statistical percentages are misleading. When you have a 10% rate, many of those unemployed are recently unemployed and have skills employers need. Then it is just necessary to see a little improvement in demand before hiring will occur. When you get down to the bottom of the unemployed barrel, there has to be a very high demand for that new employee and the training necessary to make them productive. It is as simple as looking at someone with 5 years of applicable experience vs someone with no experience.
As for measurement of the economy it very much depends on what measures you use to make a judgement of improvement. There will always be some more positive or negative than others. It matters very much on what you personally define as the "economy". |

What don't you believe? What do you believe? About the virus.... It started from a live animal selling market in Wuhan, China and has spread. Recently I heard it's from the lab. in China where nuclear weapons are produced accidentally there was an outbreak of the virus. Which do we believe? |

I have mixed thoughts on the Trump presidency, but one thing is now crystal clear, he is ill equipped to deal with the ongoing crisis. He is excellent at handling crises of his own creation involving human adversaries he knew how to confront. Nothing in his background in business, entertainment or multiple marriages prepared him for the coronavirus pandemic now threatening America’s health and wealth. |

Just saw a projection that in the state where I am, the governor said we would reach the peak in 6 - 8 weeks. Currently, we have 118 confirmed cases. It seems New York state and especially New York City have become the epicenter of the outbreak in the US. Sounds like it is getting really bad there.

trump is a nationalist at a time most politicians are globalists so they dont like him,also he's a Christian so atheists dont like him,that's it pretty much and he's not a professional politician so he doesn't sugar coat everything to the point you wonder what he means. I don't believe it is that simple. Nationalist? No evidence of it in his lifetime, five deferments and no civil or public service. Globalist? A more accurate description since his wealth is from all over the Globe. Christian? I am a Christian, and he does NOT carry himself in a way that is particularly or specifically "Christian". Not being a politician is not a plus. He has admitted openly that he makes stuff up and just says stuff, and I have heard him speak, so wondering what he means still applies to him too. I think people who like Trump like him because whatever he espouses mirrors their own values and priorities, just like when people choose any other politicians. I also think that the rate of inclusion of other groups into a mainstream that was more exclusive in previous years makes people feel threatened about their status in this country, and he makes them feel assured that he is gonna protect their status above others instead of being open to the inclusiveness that has been happening. I will agree that Trump is not the best suited to manage the complexities of government because he is not adept at dealing with or realizing the mismanagement and indifference of the bureaucracy. A perfect example was the debacle of the CDC and their corona virus testing. They were not able to create a test quickly and in the needed quantities. At the same time they established rules so other competent public and private labs could not create their own version of the tests and use them. People blame Trump and the administration for that when in reality the administration did not know of the impending failures until after they had happened and governors started blaming them. When they finally realized the consequences, they started cutting through the bureaucratic red tape to get the job done. Personally, I suspect their are several people at the CDC and possibly the HHS that should be instantly fired! |

The human density is a big part of the problem. That is why the emphasis on keeping a 6' spacing in that the virus generally can't travel that far in a person's saliva or mucous which is the primary transmission method. Additionally there is the issue of the virus being alive on inanimate objects for a period of time such as tables, stair railings, and door handles. All that needs to happen is for you to touch a virus laden surface and then touch your face in the areas of your mouth, nose, or eyes. The community transmission is a much bigger problem where lots of people live in close contact with each other. There are some cases in the rural areas of the country but not many. When you have 2 or 3 cases in 20 square miles, the virus transmission is not very probable!

While I do not like the social distancing, I've come to the conclusion it is necessary for the short term. Add to that the hand washing and disinfecting to help protect ourselves. This is starting to feel like the biggest threat to my well being ever and I have gone through full cardiac arrest and open heart surgery before.

People are Fkng crazy!! News story yesterday about some guy who bought up 17,000+ hand sanitizers and was selling them online for high prices until he got kicked off the selling platforms. He deserves much worse than being stuck with all that stock he can't sell!!

Sex with a new partner

Several parts to this:
I too dislike condoms and only consider one if it is a casual, one night. Otherwise I need to know you and your background well enough to trust you. We will have a serious discussion well before getting into the bedroom or similar situation together. This is both to make sure sex is something we are comfortable with together and to talk about recent sexual activities and if testing is appropriate. Personally, I get tested if I have had penetration with someone and I have any doubt about their health status. Sometimes that is a special trip to a clinic but most often done as part of my annual physical. They already have my blood sample, why not have the STD test done at the same time if you have had any exposure. |
