Good! Most of the media is agenda-driven, not truth-driven. Maybe people are catching on.

Fox News pole reported this morning that Jobama’s approval is at an ALL TIME low of 40%. Liars! I’d bet it’s below 20%, if it’s that high. FFN!

The news media profession ranks even lower than the world’s oldest profession, IMHO.

They became selfish and least interested in the truth. Should’ve stuck to who what when where why and sources. Other than when Whorealdo was fired from NPR notice no one cares when any are fired.

If they report a positive number, they’re lying.

And so the tone deaf Republicans will stick with losers like McConnell and McCarthy. The country is absolutely crying for real leadership, but the clueless GOP isn’t listening. You can’t fix stupid.

What news media? It is Propaganda, and that is all.

Trying to get information now requires a lot of sources that are not the nuz media.

I guess it depends on what the definition of “confident” is. I’m nearly 100% confident that what I read is a lie.
