In almost every news cast I catch on tv( I don't do cable anymore so whatever I see when I can at the parents place) or in the papers, it is always Biden in the lead.
I said Donny would beat Hilary and for a short while I thought he may not beat Biden. The more I see of Biden, the more I think Trump will trounce him come election day. We will know soon enough.
It is funny how the media is pushing for Biden, just like they did for Hilary. I will smile for days if Trump wins handily, for only that I get to watch all the sad crying faces of the democrats and media people who said Trump will lose and have to deal with it for a second time.

Because its just an allegation and responsible journalists would not print an allegation without independent corroboration. If there was actual evidence and corroboration do you not think mainstream media would eat this up?
Headline says "claims" who is making the claim, who has seen the pictures, what other papers are reporting the same thing, what are their sources, which newspaper is this from by the way? Looks like a US tabloid but I can't tell. Why is what Hunter does an issue? nobody seems to take issue with the Donald filling the Whitehouse with family and friends that have absolutely no qualifications for the roles he gave them, but Hunter is a problem because ?
People so desperately want to believe something that they will take the one piece of literature that supports their position and completely ignore every thing else that refutes it.
Everything anti trump is not fake news, every thing pro trump is not gospel, and vice versa.

Yes, the completely unbiased mainstream media would never eat up nonsense because they are responsible journalists. That completely explains how they covered Russian Collusion and the Nicholas Sandmann story.

But they did cover the Russian Collusion story as well as the results of it and they did cover the Sandmann story, got it wrong, retracted, apologized published the actual story and paid a settlement. I don't see the parallels here
Maybe they don't want to make the same Sandmann mistake again so are looking for collaboration to make sure they get it right this time. Don't want to make the same error twice.
25,000 pictures of Hunter abusing Chinese children, okay Rudy, right back to the Democratic child abuse ring operating out of a Boston Pizza restaurant. Child abuse seems to be the "go to" option these days when election day is getting close.

It doesn't matter which side of the political spectrum one falls, we are all guilty of confirmation bias and we all cling to the stories that validate our already formulated opinion. This is the biggest issue with media today and the fact it is all corporate controlled. They is no unbiased news, period. Any set of facts can be slanted in one direction or the other, and it is all used in an attempt to skew opinion in said intended direction.
I wish more people would subscribe more to the thought that there are two sides to every story but the truth lies somewhere in the middle instead of simply one side is right and one side is wrong. No of us will ever have the real story because they don't want us to have the real story, and the sooner we all accept that the better off we will all be.

I agree with you, but I think we can also agree that some info holds more merit than others.
When trump was against hillary the only reason I wanted trump to win was because she was even more shady than trump. After being in the whitehouse for 4 years, aside from his tweets I think he’s been good for the US, but more importantly my friends who live in the states think he’s done great things for them. My folks are snowbirds and have a lot of friends who are us citizens who all support trump. He’s not perfect, he’s made mistakes, but he’s 10x better than the goof running our country. The filtered news we get here in Canada is even worse than the news they get stateside. As far as I know even the AO members from the US (is: fordtruckin and Osky) have all come out on these threads and supported trump (if anyone AO members from the states support biden please speak up), I think their opinion holds more validity than any Canadians.

Yeah I hear you. My wife is an American and my son is an accidental American (Basically born there and came back to Canada two days after being born) so it is something that affects my family closely too.
I am probably the worst because I simply do not believe or disbelieve anything either side says because I just trust none of them or the media that reports on them. I sadly am at the point where I just sit back and watch because it is all much of the same and arguing is tedious haha!

You are not alone, there are at lest two of us.
1)I do know this character and morality in Leaders has never meant less to the electorate in the US and Canada.
2) People will believe anything if it fits their narrative and political leanings.

Like Clinton, Trump, they all appear to be swamp creatures of the same swamp. They all know each other.

Tucker Carlson’s Hunter Biden Crusade Takes an Unusual Turn | Vanity Fair
“ However, the day after the Fox News host began banging the war drums against UPS in front of his millions of viewers, the company explained to Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer that Carlson’s package had actually been located, which suggested that the Biden camp’s package-targeting extraction team had not, in fact, tactically removed the top secret contents of the parcel. (While Trump’s allies and the right-wing media have been consumed with Hunter Biden developments, NBC News reported Thursday evening that one “intelligence” document making the rounds, and its author, were fake.)”...
“It’s not entirely clear why Carlson suddenly backed off the story, or why one of his own producers sent him documents in the most archaic, analog way possible instead of simply uploading them. None of it makes sense, other than...”

He didn't get the dirt that he was hoping for and is now trying to save face and attempt to come across as the decent human that he is not. Even if Hunter attempted to benefit from his father's name, big deal. It's no different than Trump's family infiltrating the White House. All of the screaming of Hunter getting contracts without experience. What about Jared Kushner leading a Covid task force. Where's his experience?
Just like "Pizza Gate", it's sickening to see how far they will go to ruin someone's life in order to promote their candidate of choice. MSM certainly pushes their own narrative for Biden but it hasn't devolved into the type of depravity like it has with the Qanon and Alex Jones types out there.

Fox IS MSM. They trounce all the others in viewership.
Plus non-MSM is fighting for attention so the idea that they are somehow more truthful is ludicrous.
Take any product in a poorly regulated competitive marketplace and note how the littlest competitors are often the ones making the most extravagant, least-truthful claims just to get noticed or to keep their customers loyal. Why would the media business be any different? (Its much like the early days of software where any crap could be pumped out with the knowledge that they would be pumping out another version the next day. They’d say whatever it took to get sales.)

First of all, they presented Pulitzer prizes to "real journalists" who investigated the Russian Collusion story. It turned out to be a story completely lacking in independent corroboration or actual evidence. So there is that.
Furthermore, there is lots of corroborating evidence and proof being offered about Hunter's influence peddling and the story is being stifled by "real journalists" because it reduces Joe's chances at being elected.
And finally you may have noticed recently that Don's friends and family in the Whitehouse (the ones with no experience) have generated some peace treaties in the middle east and trade treaties elsewhere and more troubling is that the "experienced" diplomats and bureaucrats insisted that they could not be done!
