Why is the Media Dividing Us?
IWB ^ | Daniel Carter

Posted on 08/12/2018 8:20:36 AM PDT by davikkm

If you’ve seen my prior work, you know that I often focus on the dirty deeds of mainstream media. Last week, I posed the question: “Is the Press an Enemy of the People”. Of course, when I say “press”, I am referring to the six mega-corporations that own 90% of the media. And there is little doubt that these corporations treat us like enemies, dividing us every chance they get.

Just this week, Ezra Klein, founder and editor of Vox, wrote an article in which he excused the feminist movement for spreading the message of #KillAllMen across various social media platforms. Do you think that may anger and divide people?

Or how about the New York Times sticking by their recent hiring of Sarah Jeong after it was discovered that she made a plethora of anti-white statements on Twitter? That’s a good way to alienate over 60% of your American audience.

The globalists own the media and most of the country. Globalists want their own rules to maximize their profit/piracy and power.

They’re pissed because we didn’t choose their preferred oligarch.

Ever heard the phrase .... Follow the Money?

Of course you have.

Each of the people in the press, the media, politics etc has their followers.

If only 15% of the people like CNN that is a loyal market share.

MAKING PEOPLE HATE EACH OTHER IS AN INDUSTRY

Was it HL Menchin that said .... No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American Public ?

Because they are corporatists/globalists and the NWO that is against a Constitutional Republic— the Sovereign United States is completely within their interests. The leftist/globalist agenda (and a nuisance Constitution) are all up their alley.

It is brilliant to attack the Press, who then resorts to the Constitution as their “right”,all the while they attack all fabric of the document as well as their own “right” (which is only their right if all agree with their screed). This is liberal fascism.

Because the dark hates the light.

They hate the American dream, its freedoms, and prosperity.

They hate her God fearing foundation and values.

They hate the notion of a defined right and wrong, accountability, consequences, and merit based results.

You can be a propagandist or a journalist. You can’t be both.
For the last ten years they cuddled the Obama regime, overtly supporting it and never ever investigated its failures or scandals, Hilary Clinton was given the same deferential treatment. The last two years the media does nothing but Trump hatred.

Rational people realize that the media has devolved into rabid, leftist propagandists, care nothing for the truth and should never be confused with real journalists.

Corrupt elites get bored. The MSM ‘stirs the pot’... and makes more profit.

It’s an incentive pattern...

The media is actually the base of the American Left. Even the democrat party just follows their lead.

Ezra Klein needs to find Jesus.

Its money. To get people to buy a paper or pay for cable, they need to depend on the news. Sports handles it for many men. But for the rest of us, its news. And the news can’t just be about a burglary on the next block or a murder downtown. The people who write and edit the news for the big cable networks need you to be emotionally involved. They are not there to inform you. They are there like any other TV show. They need you to come back for the next episode. So conservative or liberal, they spin everything, so that the other side is evil and their side is fighting the good fight every day. Cable networks and Comcast know that their industry depends on it. And I should know. I worked for them. I advised them how to keep their audience. And how to get the best ratings. But I am still amazed at how many people believe their crap.

Because 95% of so called Journalists are self described Democrats, Liberals, Progressives and / or Socialists, while four out of five of the remaining 5% are Liars, that’s why.
