Like I’ve said for a long time, and sometimes get flamed for it, we have a free press, but we don’t have anywhere near a fair press.
You can't even edit someone else's words when you pass them off as your own, why should I believe you?
The old Soviet Union’s Pravda was more honest than our Ministry of Propaganda.
Crushing the big media companies is one of the most important tasks.
That’s not the same as crushing free speech. The First Amendment is still important. But they’ve slapped a lot of red-tape on the Second Amendment, and it’s time to do the same with the First Amendment (or else remove ALL red-tape from the Second).
People should say and publish what they want. But media companies should be trust-busted to smithereens. Perhaps one owner/one outlet. Or something. The Media Leviathan (and government schools) is turning people into brain-dead, indoctrinated fools. I say we kill that monopoly with fire.
About half way thru Jack Cashill's 'Unmasking Obama'. It's a rehash of Obama's many follies … many of them outright scandals whitewashed or more often ignored by the liberal media. Obama often bragged about his scandal free administration … which any Freeper knows is total BS.
In the 18th Century, the first case for a free press was John Peter Zenger badmouthing a local magistrate.
During the Revolution, you had pro-Patriot and pro-Tory papers. In the war of 1812, you had pro-war and anti-war papers. before and during the Civil War, you had pro-Union and pro-Confederacy, pro-slavery and abolitionist papers. During World War I, you had pro and anti-war papers.
This "down the middle" journalism only began in the wake of World War II, when national Socialist Hitler invaded soviet Socialist Russia, in what turned out to be an internecine civil war between two warring socialist philosophies. The Left, who were anti-war before June 22, 1941, suddenly became strongly pro-war. After the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the US was united like never before (LITERALLY! all other US wars had a significant anti-War opposition).
In the decades following the defeat of national Socialist Germany and Imperial Japan, most of the conservatives and liberals had the common experience of defeating a savage and ruthless enemy, and felt common-cause with many things.
However, it's been 80 years since then, most of those veterans who shared the common experience have died, and now we're at the cusp of another major national upheaval. The reason we call the New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN "the mainstream media" was because in the previous 65 years after World War II, they were the only media reporting the news. However, now that there's One America News, Newsmax, The Blaze (not going to mention Fox News...since Roger Ailes died, they're desperate to attend the cool Georgetown brie,vin,coke, and adrenochrome parties).
My point is this- let's accept the fact that the media is biased, always been biased, and will always be. Don't expect down-the-middle news on much of anything. When you look at it like that, your blood pressure will go down.
“Best Natural Hair Masks That Work Like Magic!”
I had to laugh when I saw this at the beginning of the 4th paragraph. At first, I thought it was something you could buy from the Basementman campaign.
The media’s passion to see the destruction of Israel now includes the destruction of America. The bs and pretense are gone. The declaration of war is against democracy wherever it exists. The question is are there enough people who believe in freedom to preserve it?
Listened to about 10 seconds of Chris Walkance interview with Biden spokesman.
Biden hack: These riots and demonstrations never happened under Obama and Biden.
Of course, I’m screaming at the radio:Ferguson! Ask him what about Ferguson, or any of the other riots during Obama.
Oddly I did not hear Wallace come back with that, not before I turned it off on disgust anyway.
It’s like these are scripted in advance to say certaon things, without getting at the truth.
When the war goes hot, the media, who helped cause it, will be the first targets.
