    One was Fox News

    Shocking

    the other was PBS news

    No, it wasn’t. Bullshit.

    don’t forget the 247 (/s) random politicians who condemn political violence.

    Okay. That’s just what they feel they have to do for appearances. Even the ones who actively wish for political violence (Trump) say that shit. No one should be surprised there.

        Then that would be out of character for the network. No group of people is perfect. Which is seemingly what a lot of lemmings expect. They will always be disappointed.

      Why do you disbelieve me? Do you think that PBS news wouldn’t focus on the political beliefs of a political activist without actually mentioning what those beliefs are when eulogizing him? They talked about how he was big in the Maga movement and how he was close to trump, but they didn’t mention any of his horrible views that he got flack for. When you don’t mention what his actual horrible views were and instead focus on a bunch of politicians’ generic condemnation of political violence, It’s not exactly a stretch to think that a viewer could think he was killed for his opinions or his political stance. PBS didn’t say that directly, but they don’t have to for people to take that message away.

        PBS is a respectable news source that I trust. Some internet rando is not.

        Edit: I don’t care if any of you self righteous fake intellectuals hate PBS. But I do take satisfaction in seeing that there were replies from people I blocked in the past. I don’t have to waste my time reading takes designed to hurt my feelings and spread awful ideas.

          Sorry to break it to you, but PBS Newshour is not immune to corporate and political bias, just because it is(was? Idk honestly) partially publicly funded. They have sponsors to please and viewers to pander to just like other stations. I do generally think they are better than most broadcast news but they are still biased towards a general pro-corporate sanitized viewpoint. If a CEO (or any important western figurehead) dies they aren’t going to focus on harms they did, they will focus on telling how they were such a great loving family man regardless of if it is true.

              If I’m wrong about something let me know instead of throwing out insults. No one knows everything.

                You already showed an arrogance and argumentativeness directed at a news source which is far more trustworthy than 99% of those that exist. I’m not arguing with yet another “perfect is the absolute enemy of good” types. You already told me what you believe about PBS and I’m not exerting further mental energy to try and change that. Be wrong, I don’t care.
