With the 2016 United States presidential race already getting underway so are the cable news battles of warring ideologies. How to depict this epic struggle of wit and facts? With ponies of course! Each inspired by their respective networks’ flagship shows “The O’Reilly Factor” and “The Rachel Maddow Show”, Fox News defends its claim of being Fair & Balanced while MSNBC dares us to Lean Forward.

Alright, cool.
 
In any case, both of these ‘news’ channels are just shit-throwing fests. I dislike both parties, but you don’t just throw shit at them because they hold a different opinion.

For me it fluctuates between hilarious “We just got word that the shooters/killers name is Sam Hyde” and utterly insufferable Anything to do with the Russians or El Presidente
@Ebalosus  
It’s hilarious how these news channels view themselves.

I’m laughing about stuff said in the past, not now; and no I’m not holding it against you, water under the bridge and all that.
@Ebalosus  
Oh yes, 2 years ago. Totally have the same political views and opinions now. Yep.

Silent Wing saying “us Democrats”
 
Even funnier, given what he once said.
“fair and balanced”

Faux News is the Republican party’s Ministry of Truth.

O’Reilly has hardly any respect for anyone. I hope he tastes the boots of us Democrats one day. :)
That comment confuses the ever-loving shit out of me. You’re either taking the piss, or are being serious, which given certain comments made in the past, is side-splittingly hilarious.

So you would say that the rules do not apply to you? I’m hardly understanding your logic, as typing and speaking to someone, even virtually, is an action.
 
You must be trolling, so if you’re next reply isn’t something logical and within the understanding that background ponies are anons and don’t feel completely bound, I will not reply. The ball’s in your court.

There are no actions here, just words.
@Background Pony #C412  
But I can be held able for my actions. Can you say the same?
As much as I disdain the various political machines, I have to it enjoying seeing the occasional gaffe or flop, regardless of political faction.

@Silent Wing  
Hypocrisy. You could say the same about Background Ponies.
@Background Pony #C412  
Well, the mods would probably agree with you, but believe when I say I hate this branding. I don’t like it, and I don’t think it should define me.

@Silent Wing  
I don’t think you should be taken seriously, duck.
@PoliticsPoni  
It’s all in good fun, I wouldn’t worry about it.
Whoops. Clearly I underestimated the relative disdain of political items here. I certainly didn’t intend to start anything negative, just thought it’d be cute to depict these two facing off against each other.
 
Fun fact: I initially planned to have a CNN pony in the background doing a facepalm at them.
@Background Pony #267D  
When you can get a new background number every IP reset and troll endlessly, I honestly don’t believe BG ponies should be taken seriously.
Background Pony #B858
@Silent Wing  
BG pony discrimination! That’s almost racist! Just you wait until Young Turks pony comes knocking at your door.
@Background Pony #AD05  
No shit?  
It was a joke implying they are arguing like vapid teenage girls.
@Background Pony #C412  
Well, that’s your opinion. I mean, let’s be honest, nobody is going to be stupid enough to listen to a background pony who is probably trolling anyway.
 
Good luck voting! I can’t wait for it to come around! It’ll be my first time, and I will enjoy it, I am sure.
