The New York Times shrunk by a fifth of its 2015 reader base during the part of 2016 which has passed.

And Donald Trump hasn’t even excluded them from covering the sitting president yet.

“Twist Trump’s Twitter Tweets”

I’m not so sure. There was a Trump guy on last night trying to explain a recent Trump Tweet. Unless one is careful and deliberate when one tweets, the media will spin it like crazy. Much easier to take him out of context when there is so little context. Not sure about this twitter thing.

You’re right; the enemedia is dying too slowly - Hillary damned near won this election.

Somebody was describing to me a movement (possibly a law being considered) that would let people “unbundle” their cable packages, so schmucks like me could drop MSNBCNN and their ilk. As is stands now, basic cable includes a contribution from me to these Bolshevik bastards.

I gave up newspapers a long time ago. Free Republic is my go to for news. There is one drawback. My wife still avidly reads the newspaper. On occasion she asks me if I remember some local news from a year ago, and I have no idea what she’s talking about.

People complain about Twitters 140 characters, but it is very effective as 140 characters is the attention span of most people.

From Hansen’s keyboard to God’s ears. With the propaganda MSM (hopefully) dying, the next priority should be for Trump and Betsy DeVos to really stir up our shameful education/indoctrination system and to fight the teacher unions and failing public schools that promote mediocrity and Cultural Marxism. We have to reverse Gramsci’s “long march through the institutions” and stop the left’s domination over the means of communication and influence.

The mainstream-media narrative in 1963 that Lee Harvey Oswald, the Castroite, communist assassin of President John F. Kennedy, was a product of right-wing Texas hatred was completely crazy — but largely unquestioned.

This is true... the press took a known communist killer - a total leftwing hater - turned him upside down and blamed Dallas' Christian community for Kennedy's murder. It really happened.

Yes! What you said. The “intellectuals” didn’t understand that someone can be smart and a bit outrageous, and that’s what was needed to win in 2016.
