2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI wish Fox News would bring back commenting on their stories.
It seems like the FauxNuts have all migrated to CNN and The Washington Post. While neither news source is all encompassing, they did tend to be a lot more balanced than some of the right wing media outlets. And the comment sections were slightly entertaining to read and sometimes post to.
Now... comments on WaPo and CNN just fly by with all the hate and vitriol that used to be isolated. It's almost as if they honed their swill spewing skillz on Faux and then were let loose onto the internet.
The sad part is it is just a handful of posters who are the obliterating the comment sections with hate.
Where do people here find non partisan news?

Especially the last couple weeks. The whole Faux Romneyt Surge kind of freaked me out for a bit. I was thinking to myself:
"Self!!? WTF is going on!? How is it possible? Who are these undecided? Self? Why are you looking at me like that?"
And then it got weird...

I used to go there to see what the right was saying. But the Racism and hatred was contained. It was like going by the dump; you hold your nose, but you look.
