Media meltdown and the damage it does to democracy

The fifth-column leftist media no longer hides its seditionist propaganda. Lester was foaming at the mouth with his excrement at the start of yesterday’s evening “news” rant.

The MSM tell the truth most of the time. Compare it to income tax forms, or a resume. Out of 100 items, there are only lies on 5 or 6 lines of the tax form, or 5 or 6 things in the resume.

It is their 95% accuracy that causes them to feel justified. They are accustomed to being graded on the curve. If all the other media lie then they have a passing grade.

95% accuracy allows them to successfully con a large number of the gullible.

[wbarmy]

I agree and you are correct. My post was an attempt at humour by wondering how they would respond to an attempt to prove that they were NOT all liars.

MSM is the Country’s greatest threat. Parent companies: Disney, Comcast, and now AT&T.””

I repeat this daily. How else would a Muslim Marxist crap on the country for 8 agonizing years and while doing so, turn people against his opponents, 98% of which are republicans? Many freepers spend Most of their time attacking and dividing their own party against itself. The power of a corrupt media is absolutely astounding. Even the RNC leaders are fearful of this propaganda machine of the left.

So did KT McFarland really write that email?

I did a Google news search & everyone is reporting that she did!!

>>Actually, no.

 

Actually...  Yeah,

 

"EDUCATING THE COMMON PEOPLE,

THIS IT IS THE BUSINESS OF THE STATE TO EFFECT

AND ON A GENERAL PLAN"

 

 

"...that government Of the People,

By the People,

FOR the people shall not perish from the Earth"

>>Our general government employs no masters as you called our elected officials.

[HLPhat]

>>masters as you called our elected officials.

Actually. Where?

“our” elected officials are bought, paid for, and pwned by THEIR masters.

[HLPhat]

>>MSM is the Country’s greatest threat. Parent companies: Disney, Comcast, Hollywood, NYTimes, WaPo..

BINGO!

Got Oligarchic Corporate Collectivism?

[HLPhat]

>>The people have the responsibility to keep government honest and accountable through the election, petition and litigation processes... and the duty to always question governments authority... and to NEVER trust its intensions.

What’s an “intension”?

What you're regurgitating sounds like a lesson plan rendered by my SuperGenius L.I.F.E.R. Nevada edumacator Brother-In-Law and/or his L.I.F.E.R. Jesuit-Marxist Bernietard SJW offspring — while not having a clue how the real world operates for the benefit of the Oligarchic Kleptocracy.

[Verginius Rufus]

This would be easier to understand if they had quoted the full text of McFarland's tweet.

Why the gratuitous slap at Moldova? As if they didn't have enough troubles with Russia backing a breakaway region.

Democracy in America didn’t die, because it never lived in this Constitutional Republic!

Thanks Oshkalaboomboom.

Relying on the supposedly respectable news media would have left you believing that the FBI found President Trump urging national security adviser Michael Flynn to contact Russia during the campaign (it didn’t), that Trump national security aide K.T. McFarland wrote that Russia threw the election to Trump (she didn’t), and that Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, blasted sick, poor children as slackers (he didn’t). These false or misleading stories, all of which, not coincidentally, disparaged Republicans, were parroted and retweeted and broadcast by countless reporters before being completely debunked. Countless readers and viewers still don't realize that the stories produced by this sloppy reporting are false. Or "fake," to borrow a phrase. The costlier result is that no adult who cares for accuracy and honesty can take reports from these august outlets at face value without serous fact-checking. Media sloppiness last weekend, which was extraordinary for both its low quality and its high volume, buttresses even Trump’s most outlandish claims.

Pulitzers should not be given this year -- an apropos protest.

[GOPJ]

News media misreported stories in one direction, much as when all the mistakes in a cheat's tax return, oddly, tend to reduce what he owes. In other words, every major "mistake" in the weekend's reporting tended to confirm what biased, left-liberal reporters already believe...

Has ANYONE ever seen the effing press make a 'mistake' that damaged Democrats? Yeah, me either. Not ever.

[Bellagio]

You can't read what you have written? Correct me if I'm wrong...

"..the 1st amendment declares the right of WE THE PEOPLE to contradict your master's ERRORS..."

You make reference to our government as "master's ERRORS..."

As for the rest of your nonsensical responses... you seem to have grossly misunderstood what I have written. I politely make a loose correction in my understanding of what you wrote and point out the responsibilities we have, regardless of the current reality and corruption... to always be vigilant against our governments interpretation of the laws we entrust to them in which they in-turn use to educate the common people, and guard our liberties and natural rights. Yes, that is how government educates us... from the very authority we entrust to them, to establish the laws that educate those who would follow, and that we have a government authorized by a free people. A government that is trusted to be the guardians of our liberty, security and natural rights... yes, a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

But instead you spew an unwarranted level of arrogance along with an ignorant understanding of my meaning and criticize my response with a juvenile level of ridicule and display.

"What you're regurgitating sounds like a lesson plan rendered by my SuperGenius L.I.F.E.R. Nevada edumacator Brother-In-Law and/or his L.I.F.E.R. Jesuit-Marxist Bernietard SJW offspring — while not having a clue how the real world operates for the benefit of the Oligarchic Kleptocracy."

Really?? What a load of arrogant self-masturbating crap. What are you, 12? You need to stop trying to sound smart because you come off looking very stupid.

FYI... I end this conversion and will give no further response.

Not following. Corps are business entities. It’s the leftist psychopaths in power that are the problem; the socialist, the communist, the would be dictators.

[HLPhat]

>>You make reference to our government as “master’s ERRORS...”

Nope. That’s the straw ASSumption you pulled out of your wherever.

[HLPhat]

>>Corps are business entities.

Look into the definition of the word “corporate”.

It means a group of individuals operating in one body.

I learned it by accident when I took a course in “corporate worship” - in that context “corporate” means the worship activity of multiple members of the body of Christ joined together, like in a church service.

The corporate organizational structure is, unfortunately, a natural environment for cultural Marxists to do their thing once they manage to inflict their “culture” on the worker bees.

Spend some time working for a Berkeley indoctrinated CTO and you’ll experience the meaning.
