Spot on observation.

Meanwhile, 'Merica can be found mesmerized with Oprah/Dr. Phil/TMZ/Reality TV ad nauseum....

VOTE TRUMP.

If a tree falls in the forest with no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? Remember that old saw?

The internet may be a bubbling cauldron of outrage among conservative partisans—but if the major public networks and major newspapers don’t cover it—and their commentators don’t discuss it, then it doesn’t make a sound.

The media, the dumbing down of the masses, the “low-information” voters who have been benumbed by a poor quality education.

Anyone looking at this as a war can see that the mechanisms of disseminating information must be wrested away from the Left. Members of the Right need to “infiltrate” these places - go for careers in journalism, teaching, etc.

You can tune out the media all you want. You can choose not to send your kids to public school all you want. Your absence from in front of these propaganda machines is NOT why almost 50% of America believes what they see/hear.

There's a simple reason why scandals involving Democrat politicians and candidates rarely generate outrage.

There are many voters in this country who are perfectly comfortable with a corrupt -- even diabolical -- government.

Yep. Other media is impacting - YouTube, twitter,social media in general. Hillary and her globalist cabal want to censor these as well.

MSM is only still around because the globalists/corporate and political elites prop it up as their agitprop vehicle. Oh and also dupes with zero brain cells to think for themselves.

If you make shorter versions you are accused of “editing” and taking out of context.

If it’s not obvious to you at this point that the (dying, thankfully) mainstream media is not part and parcel “down with the cause” every bit as much as if not more than the DNC, and every appointed official in the federal government, and really the vast majority of upper-level Republicans as well, then you really haven’t been paying attention for the last 16 months. This is a take no prisoners battle of that segment of the American people who can see what’s going on against all of that.

Sometime you should consider visiting 4chan.org even though it’s chaotic and look at how young people communicate these days:

they used MEMES.

the political point is made in probably 10 seconds or less.

basically we are living in Idiocracy.

the attention spans of most people have shrunk considerably.

I love O’Keefe and I hope he continues but viewers cannot be held for very long these days. we see that on YouTube and we see that in the emergence of memes.

The outrage is there it is just not being covered. The 2nd video is still trending on Youtube with over 3 million views in just 2 days.

IMO we should have been decorating lamp posts in Washington when the first Tea Party march happened (which if you only watched the news you would never had known it happened), and actually long before that. I remember reports that Nancy Pelosi actually feared exactly that happening and with good reason.

Conservatives are god fearing law abiding people and I expect most are still hoping for a peaceful outcome. Donald Trump is the last hope for that peaceful outcome....were going to try the ballot box one more time. After that.....

“...under 30 ...millions on social media...”

This is so right - it is percolating out there through social media and that is how the millenials are reached.

Co incidence that twitter, reddit, etc. have an outage today mainly affecting the east coast? Maybe not ...

Most people are not like that, .most people probably do not even read a newspaper or watch a single news show in a week or maybe a month.

Yup. My SO's eyes glaze over if I have news or talk on radio or TV. Cares not a whit about politics. Doesn't have the time or energy to dive in, and feels she doesn't make any difference, anyway. I try to explain how serious this all is, and I get "I believe you, but..."

Our pubic school teachers have indoctrinated America well. FUPST!

Because the media is NOT playing over & over & over again like they would do to a Republican President

I agree...and they need to have a printed copy available of the dialogue...it was difficult to listen to. (Maybe there is one?)

I think the whole things is blatant:

1) The Democrats have been 100% confident that Hillary will win, because they have lined up massive amounts of voter fraud for November.

2) The trick at the last debate was to get Trump to repeat the earlier “pledge moment” and simply agree to accept the results. After that, allegations of fraud would sound like a real sore loser and could get no traction at all.

Two things have gone wrong:

1) Project Veritas has provided proof of massive Democrat voter fraud.

2) Trump didn’t take the bait.

Now the Democrats are panicking and they are not sure if they can pull this off. Their only hope is that this stuff disappears.

They are already edited, so at the end of the short version leave the link to the longer version.
Has to be done.
This society wants to get right to the point and if the message is too long they will not listen.

Because it is not getting any drive by press and what it does get is negative.

Nothing will happen. Nobody will be indicted. Nobody will be impeached or even investigated. It will be swept under the rug.

The government is out of control on both sides of the aisle. At least 40% of the population are sheeple, 30% are remotely aware and not happy, 20% are simply ambivalent and maybe 10% are angry but don’t know what to do.

For the same reason that the obvious truth over the past 8+ years regarding the left has not generated any appreciable outrage.
