News bias at a local level.
Me Myself

Posted on 04/30/2022 1:41:48 PM PDT by GunHoardingCapitalist

I was interviewed by a local news station today, she wanted to know my opinion on the current world affairs, she asked me questions about the Florida "dont say gay" law, the war in Ukraine, and our Nations current status. I was giving her truthfull and logical answers however it took a while for her producers to realize she was interviewing a conservative and abruptly the interview was over.

I think it might have been my opinion that Russia would never have attacked Ukraine under a strong President and that we are on the verge of WW3 because of the weakness in the leadership of the western countries, however they want the war, to impose control over their citizens just like Coup-flu The real kicker is when I asked her about the media not doing objective journalism and looking into National concerns like the state of our economy, rising crime rates, homelessness, restrictions on peoples 2nd and 1st ammendment rights and Hunters laptop.

Once I started bringing up these topics, she asked me to pause, as soon as she got off her earpiece she stated "this interview is over" and the crew packed up.

This supports my opinion that every form of media is infected with Soros, Zuckerberg and global elite dollars. Which is why I applaud Musk for buying Twitter. Until Truth Social is available on android.

It still pisses me off that local news is in the One world government mindset and that evwn they are the propaganda arm of the left.

What we call bias the “journalists” call an “angle to the story”.

North Korea has better journalists than we do.

WABI TV, the CBS affiliate in Bangor, Maine, isn’t much better.

If you want to see a real example of how local media bias works, take a look at a segment of this video.

The video itself is COVID fear porn from last year, but there is a short segment at the beginning that perfectly shows how central media messaging is pushed to the local level. They overlay a single script being repeated by multiple local affiliates, showing a single copy being read at the local level for a few key media narratives.

The video is only on Rumble (YouTube banned it), so timestamping doesn't work. You will have to start it and drag the slider to the starting point of the media bias section.

Here is the link to the video proof of central LAAP-dog media message control: The whole story of Covid, and our world affairs right now. Drag the bar to the 4:56 minute mark and watch until the 7:00 minute mark.

It really is eye-opening to see how the same narrative is repeated across local affiliates throughout the country.

“WABI TV, the CBS affiliate in Bangor, Maine, isn’t much better.”

Agreed my FRiend. I dial them in long enough in the morning (and time it just right) to catch Simcox’s weather forecast, then, I’m done/out.
The “news” aspect of the broadcast on both WABI, and WLBZ is now completely unwatchable.

“local news is in the One world government mindset.;”

Yes. KTLA 5 tv news in Los Angeles talked about Robert Mueller’s Russian investigation every day 2016, 2017, and 2018 while promoting local weather and tv news.

News Channel Nebraska promotes anti-Trump, anti-family stories while promoting Fr. Joe’s mass and local football.

There was no “story” that prompted her to interview you?
Did you have to sign a waiver?

The 5 PM broadcast is the worst on WABI.

Also, when President Trump visited Maine, and held a fishing industry roundtable inside a building a Bangor International Airport, WABI couldn’t even be bothered to carry the historic event.

Other local network affiliated did so.

Why is it when democrats change voting lines they call it “redistricting”, but when a republican or conservative does the same exact thing, they label it as “gerrymandering”?

Redistricting sounds nicer, where as gerrymandering sounds more of a heinous act.

My local fishwrapper wont do poo, they are all left leaning and any cry I make to them would never be printed for the public to read and hopefully break away from the hive mindset and think independently.

This is why I have HUGE respect for people like Steven Crowder and even Joe Rogan, they are not afraid and shut out peoples opinions. They would rather rationalize with people to find common ground. Being in an echo chamber only produces one result, I prefer to have a dialog with others of different opinions so I can understand their side of the argument, 9 out of 10 times their view changes slightly as well as mine. I wont ever leave my core values of the Nuclear Family, faith, or my inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Those are the foundation principles that I have built my life upon and hope will pass to the next generation.

The narrative is the playbook from the largest down through the smallest media outlets.

Our local Gannet rags here in Madison Cawthorn’s district are printing every story about him with a negative spin at the rate of 3 or so a week. They are hoping to primary him in the upcoming May election, 2 weeks from now.
