The Ministry of Propaganda has been the Ministry of Propaganda for many years.
We haven’t had journalism in this country for decades.
The beginning of the end was what we did here to Dan Rather.
Thank you, Buckhead, wherever you are...
The media has clearly favored the democrats for as long as I can remember (which goes back to 1968). But even while their reporting was slanted, they tried to maintain a facade of objectivity.
I think 2000-2008 was when it fundamentally changed. They thought their normal powers of persuasion would be enough to win Gore the White House, but lost barely. I think their reaction was to be incensed that they could not carry the election for their guy. So in 2004 they went a little farther in cheerleading for John Kerry, but he was such a stiff that they couldn’t make the sale to the American public.
In 2008, they had their perfect storm; an “historic” candidate, who had concealed his past, opposed by an over the hill cardboard cut-out of a Senator, during an election where the voters wanted a change of direction. Part of that desire for change was in the onset of the recession, part had been ginned up by the media themselves over the previous four years. It was their best chance to see if they could be completely partisan without even lip-service to the facade of objectivity and not get called on it by the public.
They got away with it. From 2008 on, they haven’t even pretended to hide their bias because the past eight years proved they don’t have to.
“Liars Are Us” is not only a tag that can legitimately be worn by Barack Obama and his handpicked replacement but one that should identify a mainstream media that is keeping Hillary Clinton leading most polls."
”The propaganda going on in today’s MSM would make Goebbels proud. It’s absolutely outrageous the slander and libel going on everyday against Trump, and people of ALL political persuasions should be outraged. If politicians were able to sue these slime bags for slander and libel Trump would have made himself another 10 billion by now. How outrageous is it that the media completely ignored the fact that the DNC celebrated the mother of an attempted cop killer and instead chose to focus on the lesser story of Trump questioning why a woman didn’t speak. So attempted cop killers - Good. Asking a question - BAD!” posted on 8/13/2016, 7:04:57 AM by GrandJediMasterYoda
