Which is worst? Let's ask DDG, surely their not biased?

It's known as controlled opposition. MSNBC is worst. ((Gates))
I'm old enough that my childhood and public school education was largely free of anti-american and re-segregation ideology. I collected Desert Storm cards mostly because of my fascination with military machines... and in junior college I could criticize Marxist philosophy and convince others of the reasoning in class without fear of any admonishment from the Marxist professor.

... Prager was saying how (I think it was) Columbia university had 4 graduation ceremonies in an effort to maximize racial segregation. I'm torn between feeling fortunate I wasn't subjected to that absurdity, and disappointed I didn't single-handedly break their racist strategy by identifying as a trans-black woman and attending the black graduation.

I don't consume any of the big box filler news outlets, but I hear snippets of the dumbest things from CNN like "Please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful."

I wouldn't be surprised if they were also among the imbeciles with a headline about a vehicle running over parade goers (I believe I made the satire about banning scary, black, fully automatic assault vehicles before they printed the dumb headlines).
