We work hard, or we strive to find work while counted amongst 86 million “invisible” unemployed, or we stress as one of the Bureau of Labor Statistics 14.6% unemployed, and when rare tranches of time allow, during our otherwise consumed days, we sporadically tune into the mainstream media. The Gallup organization recently informed us that 60% of us do not trust the news media. And yet, . . . it still influences our determinations as it wishes.
Whether for news or entertainment, roughly 85% of our media is at minimum liberal minded and more often than not, very extreme in its socialist leanings. For a century our media has equated the progressive mindset and itself with higher intellectual discourse.
We collectively have come to accept the fact that media bias is present and predominant. Are we not all subjective beings after all? Is subjectivity not a fundamental, though limiting, ‘truth?’ So, subjective it is. But what of our media? What of our 4th estate, so called because it is purportedly one of the pillars buttressing our rotunda of freedom?
Is our media providing Truth? Does it deconstruct official pronouncements digging for Facts? Does it deliver Insight for a little stimulus to our contemplations? Does it contribute Wisdom to our general social fabric? Does it add to our knowledge as we make our way through the good, the bad, and the ugly of our political and economic realities? It can’t, but that is not its greatest disservice to the listening and viewing public. The great lie is that it pretends independence and fictionalizes its neutrality of thought.
The mainstream media fakes objectivity. It feigns to be telling us truths while doing anything but. It professes to be delivering informative facts. While its most visible representatives contribute to Democratic Party coffers, they make misrepresentations which affect public consciousness. The great lie is the pretense.

STATE-RUN Media.
It is time to run ads against them, against each “reporter” too.
If they want to participate and take sides in the political process...they also must be vetted, along with their families and finances.
Not to mention their breaking of Campaign Finance Laws.

This is a great idea. Owners and reporters. Full information pages...Perhaps this could be a breitbart project?
Or—you can do as I did years ago—TURN THEM OFF! Leave them off. That’s less revenue for them. Get your news from FR.—or from Rush.
If anything major happens, you’ll know about it.
Starve ‘em out.
Nothing else will get them to change their ways..............
Turning them off is not enough, they permeate our entire culture.
And, there are not enough of us to matter.
name names and show examples.
We have to get the word out how corrupt this media is. I wish I had a cent for eevry time I ave informed someone of a fact and for them to reply”are you sure , it;s not been on the news ,I watched to last night”
Biggest lie the media is saing right now besides not asking about where obama was during the attack etc is they got more votes than us.
We had results which never added up and we’re still finding stuffed bags with votes hidden in corners etc
They are “The Praetorian Guard” of Left.
That would be a good name for an underground Broadsheet destroying their reputations, one by one.
Attacking their creds as journalists will not cut it....for years and years Newsbusters, Brietbard, AIM, and MRCC have been documenting their political corruption.
We have to expose their personal corruption, their personal finances, their family situations, and their Network/business corruption.
In other words smear them, as they do us.
Create doubt about their individual characters, like they do us, expose their families to humiliation and grief, like they do us. Ruin their reputations and livelihoods, like they do us.
They don’t permeate my entire culture........
