Yes, Scott Admas is doing Periscope. It’s apparently the coming thing.
They had one of the Trumps' economic advisers, and the host was repeatedly interrogating him. At least three times the host said "virtually every economist has stated" followed with the usual canned disinformation of costing three million jobs while Clinton's would gain 1.5 million jobs.
That is when I am saying to myself, Trumps people are sharp, they are real good, but I think they all need debate training.
A crash course:
1. Always assume you are being attacked.
2. Always go on offense, if you must defend, then you do so by attacking.
Example: "Well yes, Mr. Trump's plan is very different than YOUR candidate's plan."
Short. Destructive. Revealing. Example: "Virtually every economist? You DO realize anything that follows the word 'virtually' means "not actually". So your statement means "not actually every economist". I was told this was an interview not a mugging.
Short. Destructive. Revealing.
Example: "Well, there will be jobs lost when Mr. Trump assumes office. Those jobs lost will be the result of reducing the payroll of the bankrupt Federal Government by releasing those that are unproductive, duplicitous, or those who are simply incompetent. The savings thru the elimination of payroll and pension liabilities has nothing but upside. Other jobs that will be lost are those that are filled by people who are 'undocumented', otherwise known as invaders."
Short. Destructive. Revealing.
Trump and/or his team need to use the Periscope platform, or something like it.
Bypass the MSM’s preferred path to coverage completely.
Then the MSM would go to those videos, they are already talking about his tweets now.
The “Media” is everywhere
yep..your entire post has quite succintly summed up our culture, and why same will fail somewhere along the line; around 2050 or so, and become a Eurowimp society battered on all sides by tribalists demanding their ‘just due’...
couldn’t have followed the fallen Roman Empire model any better...
The media is the enemy. We should be physically assaulting their pawns and threatening to burn down their entire system.
People simply do not realize the degree to which the media have been manipulating our elections to get Democrats into power.
The media needs to be hit, and hit again, and hit some more until it is no longer capable of manipulating elections.
Their networks are nothing but a huge RICO racket, and we should be looking at criminal prosecutions directed at everyone involved in this monopoly.
Do not count on her condition being "dire" enough to prevent her getting elected. We can hope, but I would be planning for that not working.

(Of course this fails to explain why Kirk is able to drop-kick something that doesn’t exist. But... TV!)
It’s as if the MSM en masse is all under the same corporate umbrella because all of their attacks appear to be coordinated and contain the same information

The Ministry of Propaganda
whenever I ask for a specific example, all I get are the media's apocryphal versions of what Trump has done -- never something he actually did.
The press manufactures a fiction, then peddles it as fact. It has always been so, but it's so frequent and obvious now, that they are in Baghdad Bob territory.
Thanks. This is exactly what I was thinking concerning that episode.
These days, I want proof, not constant displays of intentions of “caring.”
FIFY! The Dems never really care, they just say they INTEND to care; unintended consequences be damned!
As they also say: “The road to Hell is paved with good intentions!
BS!!! Only 6% Rate News Media As Very Trustworthy!!!
Go Trump Go!
I will tell everyone here why what the media, along with the Whitehouse, Soros and the establishment can effectuate change through their propaganda.
Because WE LET THEM! You can only be controlled if you give up control. We are basically being bullied and the only real weapons we have to fight against this form of tyranny have been taken away with political correctness.
Fixing it is easy but takes the will of the people to make it happen. In colleges, conservative groups need to invade the snowflakes safe spaces. Go in there and demand the same treatment, calling the snowflakes what they are. Go to gay pride parades with big “Straight Alliance.” Attend BLM rallies with WLM signs.
The only way to get back to a balance is to take a radical position and go just as radical from the other side. The reason we got to this point was because when we controlled the White Hut and Congress, instead of going radically to the right, we only came back a little which meant the next time the left had control it was easier for them to go even further left.
It's not technically 'coordinated' but it might as well be... Political "news" starts out in Democrat War rooms. News 'information' packets are compiled to be fed to top editors at the New York Times, Washington Post and a few other top newspapers. ( a funny aside: about eight years ago research showed that editors were MORE likely to use more of the stories offered IF THE NUMBER OF SELF-SERVING STORIES - (FOR THEM TO 'REJECT') WAS HIGHER.)
The psychology behind it was that this allowed newspaper editors to feel they were still being 'true to their principles by the mere act of rejecting MORE of the potentially 'self serving' stuff. Maybe Bob Woodward remembers when it switched over from one 'self serving options' to two or three. Or Maureen Dowd or even Peggy Noonan ...all the top people are played.
Anyhow, didn't mean to get sidetracked... After the top newspapers run with an idea it's picked up by TV news and on down the line. The idea is rather than attempt to influence thousands in the press, you just influence those at the very top and the rest of the lemmings follow. It's actually brilliant... as is much of the manipulations the left does. It's also dark and totalitarian... with top thinkers in their shadows... stuff that would make Gobbles proud...
They are the opposite of everything this country stands for - a worthy opponent of all we have to fight with..
All the manipulation at the top works because the journalistic employers weed out employees with courage and/or non-liberal biases.
Then they have the perfect echo chamber.
Newspapers bought into it step by step... an incremental degradation of their souls - so to speak...
The old 'black book' contacts with folks in the community who were insiders - who had good leads because they were connected to their communities ( real communities real people) morphed into a stylized system of control by Democrat operatives where leads were provided with strong political manipulation.
The result was a larger distortion of reality and a resultant loss of readers. The people at the bottom in a city know what's going on - and great writers - even if from the best 'journalism schools' are not connected to communities because they've lived there 6 months... and hence they're easy to fool.
With fewer readers because of one-sided bias papers chose to blame 'THE INTERNET'... which of course was nothing more than 'DRUDGE'... a 'journalist' who was doing nothing more than 'giving the other side'... (To this day major papers can't figure out how to make 'the magic' of the internet work FOR them - it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.
Next step was newspaper downsizing... with the 'least connected' let go... that meant those with the weakest 'black book contacts' which meant those the Democrat War Room Opposition Research Guys' weren't feeding. So the concentration of liberal thought became greater...and 'the reader' morphed into someone to lecture - to look down upon... and more readers dropped out... Less money mean less to spend on staff AND it meant MORE dependence on liberal elite leakers... (who were no longer a 'guy connected to the community' but a sweat shop group of professionals playing every psychological game known to man...
More dependence... fewer staff... less trust from the public... but TOTALLY RELIABLE FOR DEMOCRATS... VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS DONE TO THE BLACK INNER CITY IN LARGE AMERICAN CITIES... I expected more of people like Bob Woodward... but he's clueless... Oakrent Public Editor of the New York Times was the first person with a clue... and they dumped him.. Anyhow, I'm tired of writing and it's lunch time so you're right - they have created a perfect echo chamber...
