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. Their information networks are highly cohesive and the material reviewed and screened to produce propaganda rather than "news". I imagine their central command is the WH.
The recent Wikileaks emails establish in black and white that the media are nothing more than pawns for the liberal Establishment. It’s not just opinion or conservative paranoia; it’s a demonstrable fact.
Of course they lie. Of course they exaggerate. Of course they rely on smear and innuendo. Those aren’t the issues; we’ve know that for decades.
What’s interesting is the phenomenon called “confirmation bias,” in which one actively seeks out that information that reinforces one’s beliefs, and shuns any data that contradict them. THAT is the only reason vile vehicles like the NY times and CNN can continue to exist.
Their networks are nothing but a huge RICO racket, and we should be looking at criminal prosecutions directed at everyone involved in this monopoly.

The Ministry of Propaganda
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..
