A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

What happened to CNN being "fake news"? CNN is probably lying here too, right? Odd that this would be in a conservative community, but it is just too tempting not to post because of confirmation bias, I suppose.

This post just shows how oblivious most propagandists are to cognitive dissonance.

Well, good, it shows CNN is being fair and not solely checking Trump's lies.

Man, wouldn't it be neat if Fox would start fact checking Trump...? I mean, obvs. no one is gonna believe CNN when they check Trump, so Fox should do it, since they're believable.

Right?

Wouldn't that be neat?

So, they fact-checked one claim by Trump. One.

Let's see them do a whole speech.

They have. I post them when I see them. I don’t go to fox very often. CNN is my go to for news

I've been watching for the last three decades, seeing very little truth on Fox. You can pretend otherwise, if you want.
