There was once a time this kind of thing would get me excited. I’d think, we have them now!

We have nothing.

God Bless James O’Keefe, he’s doing good work. But the left controls the media, and the public depends on the media. Therefore, the only people who see O’Keefe’s videos are people like us, and the public remains, as always, ignorant.

If the enemedia had the control you suggest, Trump never would have been nominated or elected.

There is a certain amount of truth to this.

We can have a murder, standing over a victim, with a smoking gun still in hand, security cam video of the perp shooting the victim on a time stamped recording...

And it does us no good if a judge refuses to do their damn job out of political activism rather than adherence to the letter of the law.

I agree. The proof we have had is plenty enough if it was shown by the media and local news. My parents knew nothing about the GA video of them dragging out suitcases or the laptop. If it’s not shown on there local news then a lot of people do not know and if they hear it they may not believe it. We need something so huge they can’t help but show it.

O’keefe is having a big effect, even though we don’t see immediate results.

Every time the state-run media suppresses something, they lose more credibility. Every time the Left must deny something, people know it’s true.

Anybody looking for Leftist MSM media to put a "Breaking News" tagline on anything James O'Keefe reports is dreaming. That will never happen.

Our side just needs to focus on building alternative news organizations of our own. People will come. Many people watching MSM understand that they are being spoon-fed what the Leftist establishment wants them to hear and will flock to an alternative if provided one.

Now many of us already do that but it does take a little bit of work. It takes more than turning on the TV and switching channels on the remote. You would ideally cut your cable, get a Roku box (or equivalent), and subscribe to streaming content on outlets like OANN; RSNB, etc.

Most people aren't like us. Their eyes glaze over when you start talking about "streaming" and "Roku boxes" and such. Also sadly, many don't want to consider cutting their cable because they are addicted to it.

Exactly! Every time our side has a “bombshell”, the left already has the narrative out: “nothing to see; move along”. And of course the story is totally ignored by the media anyway.
