    Your example about both sidesism, bringing on an anti vaxxer, is either a deliberate straw man or a minor example that isn’t a good representative of the media trying to discuss both sides.

    It happened constantly during COVID. Where were you?

    And now we have two antivaxxers running for president. One with a good chance of winning. And they get to talk about their “side” in the news too. Often unchallenged.

    I don’t know how you can not be aware of this.

    But your last point I agree with completely. Neither progressives nor conservatives have the complete truth.

    That’s not what I said. It’s also wrong.

    It is completely true that global warming is happening and humans are the cause no matter how much conservatives want to deny it.

            I already covered this in a reply that was done four hours before yours, so I don’t know why you didn’t see it. Trump was an antivaxxer before Operation Warp Speed and he has become one again.

            I know this might be hard to believe, but Trump is a hypocrite.

            As for RFK, Jr. He literally made a name for himself by supporting the “vaccines cause autism” lie.
