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

People are not dumb, even the deluded jerks on that other side who think that conservatives are the ones who got fooled by their (albiet small segment) of the media. Everyone knows, on both sides, that the media couldn’t care one iota about objective reporting.

The so-called “news” media is run by pinkos.

The so-called “entertainment” industry is run by perverts.

Maybe there’s hope for this nation after all.

Now, what are we going to do about it?

Personally, at 62, I still have all my writing chops and would be happy to come out of retirement, even if it was only to cover zoning commission meetings.

Take it from an old-school newspaperman: 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.”

But when it comes to the daily grind of covering local news — well, they’re too special for that.

This is not hard to believe.

50% believe the old dominant Leftist Media is to blame for the U.S. political devide; 34% believe the "right wing" corporate controlled Media is to blame for the U.S. political divide. Add the Left and Conservative opinions together, and you get 84%.

Hey, this could have a positive impact. Can we Americans unite in persecuting, prosecuting, and executing media members?

Now THAT would be a heartwarming conclusion.

No doubt, I get CBS This morning after my local news. Talk about reverse affirmative action, 80% of the reporters are either gay or radical feminists. 0% are White Conservative. They are ALL filled with Trump hatred, palpable - and unwatchable.

Start writing and posting on freerepublic.

You reach a larger audience than the average local paper.

Sleep well in your beds tonight, media. Just sayin’

PSYOPS PROGRAMMING ON. PSYOPS PROGRAMMING OFF.

(Haven’t watch it in 8 years. Try it. You’ll like it. Trust me. I’m not from the programming departments or the government agencies.)

See something, say something. Hear something, say something.

The media are no longer reporters. They are all ANALyists and the news is treated like those spectacular magazines at the checkout.

Still very high percentage. We only need 50% plus one to win :)

This poll must be more specific. Which members are responsible? Is it the NY Times or the NY Post? Fox News or MSLSD? Rush Limbaugh or NPR?

I monitor the left on one of their DUmbest sites.

They say they think the media is overwhelmingly right-leaning. They actually SAY that. That is a LOT of delusion.

So it is amazing they arrive at this correct conclusion, even if they are 100% wrong on how they got there.

I would blame it on the Democrats getting far left of Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Mao.
