At first I thought he was pulling my leg, but he was dead serious and presented "evidence". And he kind of dipped into some right wing rants. I'm work, the browser timed out and deleted the rest of the message. Will retype it later

Rushing this out from memory so it may have typos or be crude.

The parties switching is not a conspiracy theory. I was taught that in school. Wikipedia also lists it. And Wikipedia is not biased, it list the information you are looking for, as it is, very matter of factly. I said the last time this came up, but no one disagrees the democratic party was racist/conservative and the republicans were progressive. But they did eventually switch ideologies, becoming the left and right we know today. Everything you said about CNN is also true of FOX news. It is perception depending on where you stand politically. It is a 2 way street. That's your POV, and anybody's thats on the right and follows FOX news. It's just a bunch of finger pointing back and forth. Politics is like sports. If the other guy/team is winning then they must be cheating, unless it's your guy. Bending the rules and gaining an unfair advantage is always bad unless it's your guy/team doing it.

You brought up false equivalencies and who is worse etc. That was never the point. And wasn't trying to get into that. The original point was only that both CNN and FOX news are full of shit and you should use discretion. Who is worse is irrelevant. I havent watched CNN in years. I challenge you to stop watching fox news for a week. You really should do yourself a favor and stop watching fox news. And this is coming from someone that used to but no longer trusts CNN.

Yeah, I brought up false equivalency because that’s what your statement was. It’s like saying someone who killed one person is on the same level as Hitler both acts are wrong, but they are not equivalent. Numerically speaking, there are more left wing news networks in traditional media, so they have a far bigger megaphone, which alone would prove they are the bigger offender. Keep in mind, this all started from you getting triggered by me pointing out CNN’s reporting on the New York shooter. The existence of a Wikipedia article is irrelevant. Something being taught in schools doesn’t automatically make it true. There are biology professors at universities who ignore basic biology to fit leftist gender ideology. Also, claiming Wikipedia doesn’t have bias is false, the Manhattan Institute has shown it clearly associates the left with positive, joyful things and the right with negativity (LINK).

I’ve already pointed out several videos ( ) that break down every single allegation of the so called "party switch," and it absolutely looks like a leftist conspiracy to rewrite history.
If Fox does the same as CNN and MSNBC, please show me the Fox equivalent of Joy Reid, Tiffany Cross, or even Abby Philips. I also find it funny how much you assume about me from being supposedly "mad" to being "far right" to being a Fox fanboy. I challenge you to go a week without falling back on those leftist tendencies of labeling people.(LINK)

I wasn't triggered. I just replied that CNN was full of shit and not to take the bait, when you shared that CNN story. You were triggered and upset about CNN it, not me. I was only telling you they made a mistake based on early police reports, but that it was all BS and to ignore. Come on man, you're loaded. Now you can say I'm triggered.

"If Fox does the same as CNN and MSNBC, please show me the Fox equivalent of Joy Reid, Tiffany Cross, or even Abby Philips.

Well you're definitely getting upset now. And taking this waaay too personally. I wasn't talking shit or insulting you. No where in the recent comments did I say you were "mad". In the past I said that in regard to you taking the rage bait and getting upset. At that time I was only encouraging you to look at stuff without a left or right slant.

And I wasn't just saying that of you, but of people in general remember? Also I had apologized for mistaking you as far right. I thought we squared that up. You even responded that you don't care how people perceive you, but now you're mad about that? No where did I call you a Fox fanboy. Show me that. You're inferring too much. I just said don't watch fox news. That doesn't make you a fan boy. I kept referring back to CNN and Fox news because those were the 2 examples we were discussing.

False equivalents: "It’s like saying someone who killed one person is on the same level as Hitler both acts are wrong, but they are not equivalent."

I'm glad you said this. Because when you talk about slavery, you like to point out that there were also a few black slave owners during the slave trades. But its not the same. Again you're missing the point. I said they're both guilty of the same things you only accuse CNN of doing. And that is spreading lies and stirring drama. I don't think they're equal. If that's how you interpret that, well then that's how you interpret it. Then I tried to explain what I meant. I thought we cleared that part up also. Anyway, you're making this an argument where there never was one. You pivoted and brought up false equivalence, so I tried to correct it and explain my original point about Fox and CNN to you better.
