Might his name be Donald? Looks like he has a squirrel on his head.

Ligh, I've been thinking about this too. I think the mainstream news media is broken in the US with regard to politics, at least. I've been gravitating towards Twitter in order to help pick up on news that news media has chosen to effectively censor by NOT reporting it at all.

I think where this might lead is some sort of decentralized, end-user produced news reporting in the same way that user generated content on Youtube is replacing much of the crap that we used to watch on TV.

Media looking from a different angle is already denounced as not trustworthy per se, and collaborating with the enemy ... this week British banks told Russia Today to close their bank accounts in december.

Do we have to rely on "conspiracy blogs" now to get a diverse source of information? (In Germany, Fefe's Blog is quite famous.) – Whatever Mike & the Mechanics originally meant, it matches this interpretation better than ever:

Quote
Now the world is getting older
There's a few things to be said
Do you believe the things they told you
Do you believe the things you've read

There's a rumour on the corner
But it's always been denied
Cause they don't want you any wiser
You're just toeing the party line

From the west side to the east side
From the north side to the south
You'll never get bad information
If you believe in the word of mouth

Look out for those who still want to hang on
Look out for those who live in the past
Get out and listen to the whisper
Because the times are changing fast

Yeah, and that's the problem with "grassroots" news sources. Anyone can publish anything, so you really don't know if the small news sources are just shills like the major news sources. Personally, I troll through all the garbage that gets posted to twitter and then look for confirmation or disproof elsewhere.

Well dunno, european media vs. american media is really different + europeans dont vote so the election news are just to get more reads here. Anyhow both candidates look bad. Is there  any statistic who has bigger support?

Definitely think Hillary has the most support. From an European point of view, I think it'd be hilarious if Trump won the elections. It'd be exhilarating. Then everyone would scramble to awake their dormant agents so they can sabotage the US/Russian nuclear codes, but after that, it's gonna be funny again.

That depends on who you ask. The majority of our major news outlets cater to an audience that is mostly on the Democrat's side, so any news that you read from them will favor the Democrats ( Hillary).  The main Republic news outlet is Fox News which is known for it's poor quality reporting and blatant Republican propaganda. CNN, another news outlet that's heavily biased on the Democrat side loves to throw around poll numbers and statistics, however they tell you nothing about how they gathered those statistics or about the makeup for those being polled, so unless you are a complete fool, you cannot trust their numbers.

One trick that both parties are using is to claim that they "are winning" or that the other side is losing. This is to encourage or discourage people from voting from one side or the other. Initially, Trump used this tactic when competing with the other Republicans. Now, Hillary has the Democrat biased media using the same tactic.

Also worth noting, Hillary paying a shit load of money to the major media outlets, so who's side do you think they will favor? They're not going to bite the hand that feeds them.

Some of us may be old enough to realize that Trump is the boss, but Hillary is NOT THE MOMMA!  ;D

Insulting a supporter of left (= pro-social) politics as nazi ... can it get more paradox?

Rigwyn, you understand me. Brilliant reply!

No, it is not paradoxical in the slightest. Doesn't the term "nazi" come from he national-socialist party? I mean, it's right there in the name, socialist. And I'm sure you support your country one way or the other. So, technically speaking...
