True, but CNN would be the ones to say “Dirt Bikers put themselves and fans at risk of death with big stunts”

Although we could certainly go down the political rabbit hole, you took it there, not me. My comment would apply to any host of “news” stations these days. I don’t patronize any “news” who:

-stages a fake protest with paid or volunteer actors
-broadcasts a reporter acting like he can barely stand in gale-force winds…while two people calmly walk behind him without issue
-stand thigh-deep in “flood waters” when they’re really at a low point of an intersection ditch, and the road grade is bare/dry
-etc
My contempt for “news” stations revolves around their complete sacrifice of journalistic integrity for ratings and misleading headlines…not their politics.

Everything I’ve ever seen about bikes or planes (my two main interests) on CNN have been over-sensationalized, inaccurately reported bullshit. My initial statement was a reflection of that. If CNN had the headline “supermodel of your choice naked” I still wouldn’t watch. It had nothing to do with their well-known political leanings.

This is simple. If you like corporate backed fascism, watch Fox. If you like corporate backed fascism with a pinch of socialism for the common man, watch CNN. Or better yet, go ride your dirt bike and turn off "the news". You'll be happier, trust me.

This right here. Lefties “you can’t watch fox, they slant the news”. Righties “ you can’t watch cnn, they slant the news”. Hello, you are all being played and just searching for the media that supports your view (and gives them clicks and in turn cash). My news is the real news 🤦‍♂️

It doesn't matter where info comes from unless you automatically believe everything you read. If a person is a giant idiot, then it really does matter. Considering that fayke noose a major problem, well...infer what you will.

The problem isn’t those of us that understand and agree with what you said-it’s the ridiculous number of dipshits who believe everything their favorite anchor says, as they vote and drive policy changes with their ignorance.

I jumped on the “F CNN” wagon above because it was mentioned…but I would’ve done the same for Fox, etc etc-they’re all slanted bullshit.

Vital MX: We want the sport to grow and be in the mainstream

Also Vital: Yeah but not any of that mainstream side

Vital MX: Keep politics out of moto

Also Vital: Let me rant about politics when moto is on a network that I don’t like


People need to relax
it was a good write up on a really cool project from the guys at Red Bull, nothing more, nothing less

So many people do not understand what fascism is.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy.

Turn on CNN any time of the day and you will hear them supporting authoritarian mandates and suggesting other views are "dangerous."

Authoritarian mandates like masks and vaccines? Oh the horror.
