Re: (Not) All about Biden Reply #50 – 2024-06-28, 14:05:52 Do you know of any network in any country that gives their broadcasts to everyone on the net?(BTW: I apologize for using the Supreme Court's actual published opinions as a "news" source about the Supreme Court's opinions... What was I thinking? )No I've not given an exhaustive list of news sources that I monitor. (Nor have you!) But -for some reason that I can't quite put my finger on[1]- i'm less likely to trust state-sponsored (controlled? ) media.That may explain why we so often disagree about the U.S. 1st Amendment Right of Free Speech.To help you get your ire up, let me say unequivocally that I oppose any and all "hate speech" laws... (Have fun!)1 Perhaps you can think of one? ↵ Last Edit: 2024-06-28, 14:15:54 by OakdaleFTL

Re: (Not) All about Biden Reply #52 – 2024-06-28, 14:23:43 Maybe CNN has changed its mind, and decided building an audience and making money might be a good thing? (That "dubious" Town Hall must have made them some $$) Why, I'd ask, does YouTube not merit your anger? They couldn't have negotiated a deal with CNN?

Re: (Not) All about Biden Reply #54 – 2025-01-12, 07:22:03 President Biden Awards Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction to His Holiness Pope FrancisNow there's a religious president if there ever was one, the kind that Americans claim to have wanted. The "with Distinction" bit is important. Lots of randos get Medals of Freedom, but very few get one with distinction, and this is the single Medal of Freedom with Distinction that Biden has issued.The previous pope to receive a Medal of Freedom from an American president was John Paul II. It was the ordinary commonplace un-distinguished medal from W.

US presidents seem to have been authentically Christians, not just posing to get elected, for at least a couple generations. Biden is unusual in being a Catholic. Even LBJ seems to have been fairly religious in a kind of default way. Carter is probably the most Christian one, if we were to rank them somehow.Trump is a trend-breaker here too as the first non-Christian president for a long while. There will be more in the future, but not in the near future. A likely future president like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be fairly radical in politics, but still identify as a Catholic. Same goes for the other candidates in both parties. That makes coming presidents and candidates increasingly at odds with the electorate. 1 Likes
