To those that object to the term baggage, read it as shorthand for racially charged distraction.
You're just making it worse, tbh.

Perhaps it's because i'm a limey, but it strikes me as weird that the article tells me precisely nothing about why people are interested in him apart from the fact that he raised a lot of money. What is his policy platform? What is his voting record like?
Okay, my bad.
It's not benefit of the doubt, it's literally the difference in process when you are fact checking someone.
It was basically the same number of keystrokes that you used, and it wasn't difference in bias against J. It was literally just a different style of fact-checking
It actually was a difference in bias against J
That, in a sentence, is my problem with the various fact checkers such as Snopes, WP, and Politifact. They have a political ax to grind that sometimes has nothing to do with facts.It literally was a difference in style in fact-checking. We were both skeptical. We both took 'lazy' efforts to fact-check.
If you blame your bias, you're missing an opportunity to improve process. As it is, it just means you'd spend more time fact-checking someone you agree with. That's not really useful.
Um sure but if you can back your fact check with facts and the other side can not, well then you win in actual reality.That, in a sentence, is my problem with the various fact checkers such as Snopes, WP, and Politifact. They have a political ax to grind that sometimes has nothing to do with facts.

Point taken. It's just another case of a media site pretending to be unbiased when the opposite is true.Um sure but if you can back your fact check with facts and the other side can not, well then you win in actual reality. Not that actual reality ha anything to do with anything anymore.

Exactly. Trump won 90% of the counties. Clinton won the 10% with the heaviest population densities. That's not exactly urban vs rural, but the flavor is similar.
I don't know a single thing about any of those three, but I suspect that only Baldwin has a chance based on his name alone. The others are too hard to say for most Americans. Easy to say is the path to victory!!...I don't know enough about Klobuchar, Baldwin, or Stabenow to know how they might perform...
But the actual swing voters in swing states voted for the black man, and the racists didn't turn up enough to outvote them then, even after four years of Obama. And since Tammy Baldwin is from an actual swing state with real live deplorables, we can find out what they think of voting for a lesbian.The deplorables are still stinging about the black man. Nominating a gay woman is asking for 100% deplorable turnout.
Then I did misunderstand you. I'm curious as to where you think you are seeing that happen.I’m pretty sure that’s not what I said but ok how about I put it this way. When statistical or scientific reality backs one side over and over again. That’s not bias, that’s just reality.
