Big story back in 1995
Hell, academia is dead, entertainment is dead, sports is dead, the cities are dead...half the country has been body-snatched by Marxist pod-people.
When they had absolute control over all media, they believed themselves to be the "kingmakers" of the country and used that control to make or unmake any President; I.E, JFK, Nixon.
“The news as we once understood it is dead.
It has been replaced by the un-news: a political narrative created by partisans who believe the noble ends of destroying Trump justify any biased means necessary — including destroying their own reputation and craft.”
This is what it boils down to.... the ends justify the means at any cost. Trump must go.
It’ not exactly accurate to say the Democrats have taken over the media; it’s more like the communists have taken over both the media and the Democrat party.
Free Speech has become a Marxist shouting propaganda while no one else can manage to get a word in.
That isn’t free speech.
I’d like to see trust-busting and MAJOR restrictions on centralized ownership of media. Like: One outlet per owner. You can own one TV station. Or one radio station. Or one newspaper. That’s it: one thing. No more for you.
Then we would see diversity of viewpoints.
Someone's gonna get fired for that mutinous 7 percent.
The rat machine has infiltrated the media with political rat family members.
How about Fox News now running cover for Soros???
I have news for you all, the MSM has always pushed their master’s agendas. I remember JFK murder and the cover up, get out of Vietnam and the anti war movement, the ‘60s black riots, Nixon & Watergate, Jimmy Carter & and the greatest President ever and so much more. The MSM was created to push anti American agendas! Nothing has changed except the internet allows the people to publish their own side. Must have been like when the printing press was developed.
Isn’t this ‘news’ from 20 yeaRS AGO?
The problem with fake corrupt news is that it might influence 0.5% of the population, normally not a concern but with close races it is.
As Mika recently said ‘it’s OUR JOB (‘journalists’) to tell the people what to think!’.
And has been for quite some time.
The problem with this assertion is that most sites, aggregators like this one, and mainstream media sites, publish as news what in former years was considered to be opinion. For example, Editorials are peoples’ opinions, yet they are presented as news articles. Almost 100% of what is on CNN, FOX, and other “news” sites are actually opinion shows. The anchor sits there and runs a clip of some video and then adds his\her own commentary. About the only thing that is real news in these programs is when they have someone like Trump that they are interviewing, and even in those cases they usually pick and choose what is presented, without context, with the intent of swaying opinions in a certain direction.
My awareness of this occurred when the Today Show played the 911 recording from the Trayvon Martin \ George Zimmerman confrontation. Seemed believable when it first came out but about two weeks later the police department released the full recording and you could see (hear) that NBC manipulated the context of the recording to show George Zimmerman as racially motivated - he wasn’t. He was responding to a direct question from the 911 operator about the appearance of the suspicious individual he was calling about. Clearly, pushing an agenda and not the truth.
I asked my father, who is 30 years older than me, when he first realized that the “news” was just propaganda that was being pushed by the news organizations. He said he realized it when he watched the OJ Simpson trial every day for the entire length of the trial. He said that anyone who watched it would come to the conclusion that there was CERTAINLY reasonable doubt as to his guilt - which meant he couldn’t be punished. Yet the media portrayed it as if every finding was that he was guilty, and it started from day one of the televised trial so it led him to believe there was an agenda being pushed.
“The media assure us...”
Victor is now clambering onboard the UK grammar train perversion. “The media” is a plural, not an “it.”
“I are going to the store.”
Let’s just continue the perversion the UK has started.
No surprise.. Watch the evening news. You are not being informed, you are being programmed.
China is increasingly being ostracized by much of the world.
The U.S. has cut its carbon emissions, often at a rate superior to those nations still adhering to the Paris climate accord targets.
Cross-border illegal immigration has been reduced, according to many metrics.
ISIS was bombed into near dissolution. Moderate regimes in the Middle East are ascendant; radical cliques like Hamas and al-Qaeda are not.
More NATO members are meeting their commitments. The alliance’s aggregate defense investments are way up.
Is any of that considered news? Not really.
But, but, but..... President Trump supposedly, allegedly, disrespected our troops. And Bob Woodward has a new book out!
The news as we once understood it is dead.
Forty-six days to Election Day. It is only going to get worse.
