[The inescapable truth is that the media serves as the communications division of the Democratic party.]
[It’s the media, stupid]
And they can never be trusted.
Along with most of Hollywood and Hillary’s operatives.
They are responsible for 95% (at least) of the division in this country.
May the fleas of 10,000 camels infest their .... whatever.
Speaking for myself, I am happy to be divided from the forces of Evil. How would reconciliation with the servants of Satan be an improvement?
A good essay. In 2016, the country woke enough to realize we were governed by a media tyranny.
I agree that the media is a huge problem.
But I also think the Democrats have become very extreme. If they come back into power, they will push very dangerous policies which are not acceptable to large numbers of Americans. It’s going to be a problem.
Much more frightening is how the abuse of the IRS and FBI under Obama was designed to permanently eliminate any meaningful opposition; when coupled with media collaboration with the Reds, this would lead to permanent “Democrat” (Bolshevik) government - complete with “thought crimes” (hate speech), disarmament, and elimination of online freedom (the controlling of search results while inundating the internet with endless fake news stories has already swayed the public discourse for many young people - mass mind control).
So true - and it required a presidential candidate publicly calling it out to expose it.
By 2016, many voters realized they’d been sold a pile of sh!t in 2012 - in a terrifying demonstration of media power, coupled with silencing opposition with accusations of racism, a failed president (by just about any measure) was re-elected.
Exactly. It occurred to me weeks ago that it really is the Brown Shirt Media with the power and the Rat politicians are just the puppets. How much money does Don Lemon make? Compare that with AOC.
Yep. The media is the democrat party. They are more dangerous than the elected officials precisely because they are not elected, and thus not subject to being voted out.
It could not be more obvious what’s going on. The real democrats develop their daily narrative, which the elected officials then begin talking about. The idea of the Journ0list is power of the DNC.
We must get our young ones involved in the media and education. We need to play the exact game the socialists have played for years by embedding loonies in the schools and media. Get your young kids involved and get them to take those jobs.
A powerful alien entity, which thrived on negative energy, hatred and strife, kept the humans on the Enterprise and the Klingons in constant battle situations.
Kirk captured Kang's wife and it seemed as if the humans would kill or torture her. Kang was furious.
The alien entity provided primitive weapons to both sides, even keeping them alive so that they would continue to fight each other. The entity thrived on all the negative energy and hate.
Does anyone here remember that episode?
I think the media thrives on negative energy, hate and strife, and continues to keep us citizens at each other's throats.
Pres. Trump is right: the media is the enemy of the people!
The media are like that complainer at work or at home.
Always yapping that the sky is falling.
Ping for later...good essay, thanks for posting!
But, but, but, but, but...
The media are owned by big business! Corporations {shudder}.... are.... EVIL......
And EVERYONE knows corporations are pro-Republican. Remember, democrats are for the little guy, while republicans are for the rich? amirite???

The reality is we live with the Alinsky disciples of the radical left incessantly rabble-rousing and stoking the flames of anger and victimhood, while being supported in their efforts by the pathological liars in the media. It sounds worse than it is because they want it that way.
Enemy of the people propaganda media.
When I was in college back on the 60s, I took a journalism class as an elective. The professor used to tell us that the "news" was, by design, always something controversial, upsetting and/or negative.
People didn't want to hear any positive things about regular lives. Just the bad stuff.
Controversy, hate, strife and negative stories are what makes the "news" and sells newspapers. It's not about Sally getting good grades in school or Tommy doing his chores without being asked.
People don't want to hear about those positive things. They want to watch the train wreck or the failure of a business or the bad luck of someone.
It's the nature the beast I think.
Your words about negative stories are the nature of the beast, makes me think also of how a non-smoker or non-drinker can lead a good healthy life and receive no recognition for it. But, an abusive alcoholic, drug abuser, and/or cigarette smoker can give up those things, and people will fall all over themselves to heap praise on those types. Its as if people who experience vice are more valuable in our society.
This reminds me of a joke. I’ve heard it a few times in different scenarios, but I think about this all the time when it comes to the media, and their headlines and how they try to manipulate the naïve public to believe what they believe.
Two boys are playing football in Central Park when one is attacked by a rabid rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy rips a board off of a nearby fence, wedges it down the dog’s collar and twists, breaking the dog’s neck.
A reporter strolling by sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy.
“Young Giants Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal,” he writes in his notebook.
“But I’m not a Giants fan,” the little hero replies.
“Sorry, since we are in New York, I just assumed you were,” says the reporter.
“Little Jets Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack,” he writes in his notebook.
“I’m not a Jets fan either,” the boy says.
“I assumed everyone in New York was either for the Giants or Jets. What team do you root for?” the reporter asks.
“I’m a Cowboys fan,” the child says.
The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes, “Little Redneck Maniac Kills Beloved Family Pet”.
Agreed...it seems that now more than ever I remember that line is drawn. It brings clarity to me!
