My wife was talking to a medical professional whose son has been telling him about “pizzagate.” That led to a discussion of Biden’s latest idiocy yesterday. This guy was a lib and asked my wife for sources to investigate. He was pissed that the MSM isn’t keeping him up to date.

People expect to have the latest news and with convenience. Even libs expect to be “informed.” That’s where the media is blowing it. They are being seen as lazy, one sided, hiding stories, and giving opinions when people want facts.

“.........the media “can serve as a healing force.”

Ok, but first they have to all die.

Indeed. Trump is divisive and causing harm to race relations because... he is a white male?

You can’t get 84% of Americans to agree that water is wet. Which is why this is amazing.

Yet I can't believe that the media will do anything with this other than blow it off and ramp-up the arrogance a couple more notches.

One of the problems with the media is that all these idealistic young J-school graduates see themselves as a force for “changing the world.”

************

Its the duty of senior editors to reign in and moderate the impulses of the young J-school reporters but the older staff are sympatico with the liberal agenda. The newsrooms themselves are rotten.

Exactly. They want the media to bluntly spew the hate just like they do.

By the way: What the hell kind of family does Biden have where they know damn well he has brain issues, yet they allow him to run for POTUS? Allow him to be USED by the commies?

A family that has collectively made hundreds of millions of dollars off of him, and is milking what's left for as much as they can get.

Their quest for power is just completely off the charts and utterly insane, they’re just Godless soulless inhumane shells and I am cringing if they allow Biden to debate Trump, but they have to if they insist on making him he nominee, and it’s going to expose them for the heartless fools they are to put an old man with a brain disease up there. They’re doing this though because in their demented minds they can get Biden to do anything they want. The Democratic party no longer exists, it’s now a front group for communists which is why the Revolutionary communist party endorsed Biden. .........https://www.theepochtimes.com/revolutionary-communist-party-usa-leader-endorses-biden-for-president_3449398.html

"Can we Americans unite in persecuting, prosecuting, and executing media members?"

We could call that the "New Tri-Lateral Commission!"

I wonder how many Americans know the Chinese own many networks.

This would be the media giants that responded to Americans' boycotts of spoiled celebrity's movies by appealing to the Chinese markets instead?

"2020 See Clearly."

As the old pop tune used to begin... "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone..."

The media moguls are fanning the flames of division because they think that it helps their democrat puppets.

*************

Yep, the “direction” always comes from the top. The moguls are in bed with the Democrats who favor certain outlets for leaks and breaking stories. Its a corrupt, symbiotic relationship.

And they think we’re too dumb to see what’s going on.

We need a modern day Star Chamber to deal with the “un-biased” media.

Lack of YHVH’s (God) instruction and education run by Bolsheviks; these are the two main reasons.

Yeshua told us this would happen, because it happened early after creation and the fall: the wheat and the tares. The tares have been largely hidden among us a long time. Since it is the end of the age, they are now being revealed for all to see.

The media will be all over the need to pull together if the Democrats win.

I was severely criticized on another form of social media when I said that an unbiased reporter was someone you agreed with.
