And during the 1930’s (the entire decade of The Great Depression) our combined GDP for the decade was 1.3%. Guess what our combined GDP was for eight years under Obama?

1.3%. We just lived through an “Obama Great Depression.” Except this time the media never reported it to the people.

This little fact needs to be brought up a whole lot more

Unless you hit the media in the pocketbook, they will continue the madness. Pick an advertiser and start the boycotting and this will end very quickly.

The media is made up of hardcore communist ,,, pure and simple . You can hardly believe any news today from any of the alphabet networks . They are all extreme far left and approve of the violent antifa anarchists and their tactics .

When a liberal owner tells them what story to put out, they put it out and tell themselves, “That’s who pays me.”

When a conservative owner tells them to be fair, they scream that it’s censorship.

Why?

it is amazingly simple.

Fear, then panic.

It is no more complicated than fear and panic

I wish this writer would refer to GDP growth rate rather than just the GDP. They aren’t the same.

If the media told the truth, Democrats would win a lot fewer elections.

I know WHY they do it, what I don’t understand is why we can do nothing ABOUT them doing it.

Let’s all send this column to some liberal news media person and report back if they answer.

If this was still the Obama administration, and Charlottesville was a story of a death occurring during protests led by BLM activists, AND the economy was improving as it is now, then (a) the media would not be asking Obama to refute the racism of BLM and any violence they created, and (b) ALL the headlines this past week would be about the economy.

Why.

The media is, not just reflects, but is, in its very bones an agenda, a political agenda and it must, for its lying sake, apply double standards - one for its friends joined at the hip with it in a political agenda, and one for anyone opposing their friends.

Alt-Left Media is the accurate label. It answers the question.

On every major issue, there is a national perception. The MSM wants to shape and even fabricate the issues and reality. They are this nation’s biggest enemy.

It is called conspiracy.
 
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations
Certainly journalists are "People of the same trade.” Do they "meet together” much? Only continuously, via the AP newswire. They’ve been doing it since memory of living man runneth not to the contrary.

The question is, why do journalists conspire to promote “liberalism?” The answer is simple, once seen. The business model of journalism depends on belief in the objectivity of journalism and on journalism’s focus on bad news. “No news is good news” because good news “isn’t news. Why do those two things combine to promote “liberalism?” Because the very idea that “negativity is objectivity" is the very definition of cynicism.

Journalism is cynical towards society but that does not mean that it is cynical towards government. To the contrary, since skepticism toward society is the very raison d’être of government, cynicism toward society maps to naiveté towards government. Which is precisely the defining combination of socialism.

Yes, it is fraud. It’s not misreporting, or fake news. It’s fraud. The entire left acts as if it is mind-melded and seizes upon the opportunity as soon as it presents itself. They all know exactly what to do.

The goal is to destroy the country.
