My Point of View:
I once enjoyed most of CNN's reporting back when they started in or about 1980 and little by little, I became disengaged from CNN and the left, by the one-sided narrative... I apprise you that I was a Democrat, but in my 40's I drifted or receded further right as conservative policies were more in keeping with our Constitution, including all Bill of Rights Amendments... I became an Independent! However, it hasn't stopped there, as I now strongly believe that the Marxist/Socialist radical agenda that the far left is promoting and that the Democrat party has adopted, is tearing our Country apart to a point of our nation devolving on the world stage! CNN is feeding that entire line of radicalism and NOT reporting true FACTS, but made-up slanted stories to ingratiate the radical policies, which is causing an extreme divisiveness among the citizenry... This "Media Bias Fact Check Report" bears this out... It is not just me... Whether people like me or dislike me because of what I see happening, I couldn't care less about, as my time on this Earth is getting shorter and shorter... It's time for radicals to go and time for ALL Citizenry to work together again for the Good of our Country...

Completely agree with your last sentence. Radicals on both sides have pretty much taken over both parties and neither side represents the will of the vast majority of ALL Citizenry. However in our system the squeaky wheel gets the attention which is all these Radicals want.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - totally agree - the two party system is more ideologically divided than it has been in the past. I feel this is in part due to radical agendas taking root on both sides. The big difference is the radical left have a foothold in public school, higher education and the media including social media. As such they currently control the narrative as well have the means to educate and promote their ideologies. There is no room for diversity when it comes to conservatives. The left will try to cancel or shout down anyone that holds a conservative viewpoint.

SPC David S. What a totally absurd viewpoint, backed up by radical right articles. The left wants no part of doing away with either Ammendment.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen -
Left and radical left are two separate parties. I never said left - I said radical left. It should not be a surprise that some on the right are willingly persuaded to counter the radical left with just as equally absurd conservative ideologies. My point is fewer people that affiliate with a party cross over political lines when it comes to ideologies - elections are now won by independents.
However as to my claim - here is some proof that indeed the radical left want to fundamentally change America. Why I find this troubling - there is a lot of research that shows a well organized few can create change. Only 3.5% is needed. In looking at congress - this few is called the squad. Right now its only about 1.4% of the house but I would argue they are a number of closet progressives in the house. Once changed it will be hard if not impossible to reverse this course of action.

Regarding the 2nd -
"That leads to only one logical conclusion: Repeal the Second Amendment and start over from presumption that you do not need a gun unless you are going off to war or going off to train for war."
https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/repeal-second-amendment-gun-control/
That sounds a like doing away with the 2nd Amendment to me.
Regarding the 1st
Protesters shut down UCLA event on ‘civil discourse’ and ‘hate speech’ - now civil discourse is a problem.
And then Black Lives Matter protesters shut down ACLU free speech event - now free speech is a problem - which is lie as they are exercising the right they claim to be a problem - in reality its conservative free speech that they want to silence.
https://www.thecollegefix.com/11-times-campus-speakers-were-shouted-down-by-leftist-protesters-this-school-year/
And the higher education systems is being used to push this narrative.
That sounds a lot like doing away with the 1st amendment - while ironically exercising the right to free speech.
All is not well in Denmark from the perspective of the radical left. They want to burn it all down and impose their world view on the other 96.5% of the world.

Great information. I do wonder however, how "biased," or not, that the Media Bias/Fact Check is. As for their CNN report, there is little/no doubt that they are exceptionally biased towards the left.
I defer further comment to Sgt (Join to see)'s comments that are profound and correct.

I guess that depends on your views. IMO, Trump did more damage to us on the international stage with his ultra-radical violent fascist right-wing conservative extremism than the last 5 Democratic Presidents. I personally think we are better off on the international stage.
We have always been at our best when we meet in the middle, and neither side will give an inch. I mean, Joe is very much middle of the road and you guys are not willing to work with him at all.

PFC David Foster I didn't care for Trump's excessive nationalism, but I don't see how anyone can't look and see that we are in more danger today from Biden's weakness, sucking up, and incoherence.
But yeah, there are no more mean tweets coming from the White House. Surely that's worth a 6.2% inflation rate.

PFC David Foster - I don't know Dave ... I think that, despite his tweets and crude behavior, he got NATO countries to start paying at least some of their share of the cost of us maintaining troops and bases in their countries. Aside from that, I think Biden's emasculated the military with woke crap, and has made the USA look week on all fronts - economic, military, trade and respect. China and Russia are playing more and more dangerous shenanigans than ever, and our allies now doubt our committment to them - especially after the Afghanistan fiasco.

PFC David Foster - Biden did more damage to the US on the international stage with the Afghanistan pull out, the waffling on defending Taiwan etc.than Trump did in 4 years.
