We are fighting an opponent that is 24/7 lies, untruths and distortions.
We played honestly and fairly, but gullible people will always do gullible things.
Yeah, agree with both. The media has a sacrosanct position in American life under freedom of the press, but it is NOT the anti-government “check” that the Founders intended. I do not favor regulation or censorship, but I do favor loosening the libel and slander laws to include posting/broadcasting falsehoods masquerading as “news.” Let other citizens take these @$$holes down.
When the next "the MSM is dying" post shows up, you can safely ignore it, because now everyone has seen that the MSM may be withering in the narrowest "dead tree" and sense, but they have simply placed their propaganda assets elsewhere on the battlefield. Obama had - and has -essentially been given a permanent protective no-fly zone courtesy the media.
Alternative media? Great... but that is mostly preaching to the choir which will not be seen by the takers. Go to your typical ISP or e-mail home page and you still get all the oppo agitprop you can handle (and then some), and the ads for the left permeate many otherwise conservative sites.

We have too many people who have come to believe that life is “unfair” to them, that they are entitled to a greater share of the nation’s wealth, and it is the job of Government to make sure that they get it.
