The Ministry of Propaganda is not going to stop advancing the agenda.

That’s what they see as their job.

Fair and balanced journalism doesn’t exist.

They are entitled to their emotions, but not their facts. Problem is, emotional thinkers can’t tell the difference.

Yes, it is.

The country is being destroyed by lies.

Lies is all it takes.

Promoting the very same anti-white cultural memes, and the gun-control and people control laws, that the fake news Big Media promote is just making the problem worse.

not just fake news and archaic media but, the inability to have a reasoned conversation with anyone whose opinion is different than yours.

People have become so narrow minded they can see through keyhole at 100 yrds but, nothing else around it matters...

Only their opinion, not the facts matter...

Precisely. And the left responds by attacking Trump with even more rhetoric.

“Trump: ‘Fake News Has Contributed Greatly to the Anger and Rage That Has Built Up Over Many Years’”

He’s so right on this. Manipulated, distorted, propaganda, fake news to achieve MSM/Leftist agenda. Creating chaos so they can allegedly fix the problems they create, and be the hero’s to a nation of sheep.

“News coverage has got to start being fair, balanced and unbiased,”

The Left didn’t take over the mass media to be fair, balanced, and unbiased. News coverage will not be changing.

Not with the working class. We all get along fine out here, all races. We are all Americans who share a common bond. It’s the people who don’t have real jobs like those in the media and government agencies who want to divide America for sinister reasons. That is not helping. That needs to stop. They are just wasting energy. America will UNITE under GOD, eventually. All Americans, of all races, who love freedom and God, will come together to defend AMERICA against evil tyranny. It’s gonna happen. Book it, son.
