The latter part I give credit to FR's own Buckhead.

He was involved as a defense attorney for one of the lesser figures in one of Fani Willis’ BS prosecutions of Trump.

And yet the media keeps spewing poison and lies.

It’s amazingly self destructive and no way to run a business.

But then, leftists, by definition haven’t a clue how to run a business.

The article gives major credit where credit is due: To the late, great, Rush Limbaugh. He started the slide of the Corporate Media into irrelevancy. Congrats, Rush.

I have long noticed that if there is a poll and there is a WTF answer like poll of white people
Should all white people be killed?
There will be 25-35% that will answer yes

The fact that this poll still shows 28% still believe the legacy media affirms my observation 🤢

[Flavious_Maximus]

Legacy media is not just the broadcast media. It includes print media like the New York “homosexual” Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, etc.

They did it to themselves. It is now nearly 100% propaganda, 24 hours, 7 days a week.

CNN, MSDNC, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR have all cratered with ratings. The newspapers are only a slim 8 pages from it’s Hay Day of 40 pages. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch.

The ignorant only trust the yellowstream “media” when they are trashing President Trump.(Which is 99% of the time.)

[ChessExpert]

“Only 28 percent trust the corporate media.”

That is too high a number. That is a lock for Democrats at the next election. They just have to add a few more pieces to get over 50%.

[ChessExpert]

Great article with great links. Perhaps my prior post, a knee-jerk reaction, was too pessimistic.

Still, I know people of various ages who subscribe to the New York Times and watch the nightly news uncritically. If they are representative of one in four Americans, they sure don’t know it. It may be slowly dawning on them that they are in the minority.

[Dan in Wichita]

From the article:

Only 27 percent of Independents trust the media. That’s who the media most want to manipulate.

If that 27% of indies can still be swayed by the leftwing propaganda spewed by the MSM, the Democrats will continue to win close elections.

[GOPJ]

Then there was 2004’s Rathergate—that glorious scandal that exposed CBS News, 60 Minutes, and Dan Rather as hoaxsters and fraudsters, as Democrat Party pimps willing to do anything to destroy a Republican president in the middle of a tight reelection campaign. Everyday people online quickly proved that the documents CBS produced to prove George W. Bush had been derelict in his military service were laughably fake.

The article accurately details the corrosive effect that the Internet and citizen journalism had on the absolute lock on information control possessed at one time by a very few - all broadcast journalism in the hands of the editorial boards at ABC, NBC, and CBS, most dead tree publications at the mercy of the AP, NYT and the Washington Post for national news feeds. That was the absolute power that Lord Acton stated would corrupt absolutely, and so it did. In retrospect the degree of that cultural domination is shocking.

In a relatively short time we witnessed the emphasis being shifted to formal censorship from the same mouths that used to bleat about freedom of the press (and many of whom still do). That's a sign of weakness and a tacit admission that the stranglehold has been broken. What is happening at present in the UK is nothing less than a vast social experiment to see if the state can institute such censorship and what happens when it tries. That experiment appears to have gone sour - people are being incarcerated before the ability to object has been sufficiently stifled, and the uniparty there is being seriously challenged before the project is complete. To call that situation unstable is an understatement.
