A friend of mine, an awakening liberal, researched and posted this on Facebook. Thoughts? Anything to add?

First rule when trying to find a job - turn off the news. It doesn’t do anyone any good. Can’t really stand it much while fully employed either.

I always thought the Fairness Doctrine kept news to the basic questions: who, what, where, when, and how. Opinions were stifled or completely labeled. Yet the demise of the FD allowed for greater freedom of speech, i.e. Russ Limbaugh. We need a conservative George Soros.

If we still had the “Fairness Doctrine”, never fair, with opposing viewpoints being aired at times when no one was watching, we wouldn’t have Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, or indeed Fox News at all.

There are so many better ways to get news than ‘watching’ it. I think the last time I saw ‘tv news’ was when laid up with a back injury. It happened to be when Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died. Those were the only 2 stories for a week. I can’t imagine it has much improved.

95% of so called Journalists are self admitted Democrats, Liberals, Progressives or Socialists.

Of the remaining 5%, four out of five are Liars.

Actually only Rush would be effected. FCC rules have nothing to do with cable. And even with Rush, if the stations had a lib show on they be fine. The rule only says both sides must be presented. Nothing about time. Doesn’t even have to be in the same show. Actually Rush could functionally market 2 shows, he could has his own rebuttal show with some dude.

Given how the Fairness Doctrine was used to keep conservative voices off the air - remember that Rush Limbaugh and the talk radio revolution was impossible until the Fairness Doctrine was repealed - I’d be very wary of anything advocating its restoration.

Without the end of the Fairness Doctrine, we never would have had conservative talk radio. You could almost say the modern conservative movement as we know it today has its very genesis in the end of the Fairness Doctrine. That’s why the Democrats were howling to bring it back not so long ago.

Now while this is produced by InfoWars. And the “arrest” of Mille the journalist over this video is quite suspicious, it is worth a watch.

It details how the shadow government uses simple AI algorithms to influence anyone or anything. Including, especially including, our lying media.

LOL! Good quip, KC. Worth repeating. Smile of the day. It’s good to smile...especially when they don’t have their mask on.
