One interesting subplot of the Trump Era has been the way in which many on the right have embraced not just the distrust of the media, which is good, but also the inherent trust of those in power in government when they go up against that media. The left has it wrong to blindly trust the media against the government, mind you. But it’s still jarring seeing people openly cheer on the Speaker of the House bat away direct questions on the show he agreed to go on.

Do you care what I think?
Cool. Nor I, you. I’m just posting my thoughts about American politics in a thread about American politics, just as you are. You’re free to blindly trust whichever powerful entity you want.

WV forwarding a resolution saying they will only recognize the winner of this election if its Trump. The resolution has no power and ultimately means nothing because Trumps going to win WV anyways. Seems like telling voters they dont care who they vote for they already know who the state will cast their electoral votes for would be voter suppression to me. Why would any Democrat wast their time on voting when their state leaders say a win by Harris wont be honored.

So CBS, NBC, CNN, BBC, NYT, and NYP are all good to ask questions about Trumps health.

lol yeah post debate vegetable show
Not that I care because it's West Virginia, but you clearly did not read that if that is the conclusion you came to. You clearly just saw it posted on Twitter/reddit and copy and pasted the link where they got it from.
At no point in that resolution did they they say or imply that they would only recognize the election if Trump was elected.

Almost all of those outlets were putting out articles one or twice a month, calling out the Republicans for engaging in "ageism."

Did you read it because thats exactly what it says. Very thinly veiled
"Further Resolved, That, the State of West Virginia will not recognize any election of the Democrat candidate for President during the 2024 election cycle if the Republican presidential or vice-presidential candidate is assassinated, seriously injured during an assassination attempt, incarcerated, de facto eliminated or barred from the ballot in any states, or is the subject of legal actions that preclude their effective campaigning; and be it"
They have already predetermined this to be true so there is nothing that can happen in the election in which they will not claim this other than Trump winning. I would also not that all language in the resolution talks about. What you are saying is like if I said a resolution in California declaring their electoral votes wont go to any candidate who used orange bronzer during the campaign wasnt targeted at Trump. I dont have a problem with what WV is doing IF there is an actual evidentiary standard that had to be met by an independent body. There is no standard other than the SoS or AG with the red legislature believe there to be fraud. Thats just a hilariously corrupt situation.

Shot in the dark here, they employ more than one reporter. I see you people whine that media isnt balanced then when media puts out different articles with different opinions on the same topic you people act like its them being hypocritical or something. Newsflash, when Fox News puts out an article its not the opinion of literally every person who works for Fox News including the janitor and window washers.
But it isn't a resolution that explicitly states they will only recognize the election if Trump wins, which is what you said. And your comparison is laughable.
It's a resolution that primarily states they will only certify an election if there is no corruption. And while it's certainly pro-Trump in nature, you are clearly spreading false information.
The media purposely neglected to report in Biden's aging issues. I'm sorry if the truth offends you. But you seem to like to stretch the truth when it suits you.

You're being too kind because he more than stretches it.
