The left-wing State-run news media only reports on bad things that their opponents do. They never report the misdeeds of their own. I thought we had a Constitutional right to a free press. The liberal’s co-opting of 99% of the news media has taken this right from us. But what can we do about it?? The situation has been like this since at least the 1960’s or 1970’s, so the answer would seem to be “not much”. Foxnews, a smal number of news papers, and talk radio are the only places conservatives seem to have been able to hold on, and make sure the whole story is told. The other 99% of the media/government is doing their level best to shut THAT down too.

Things are actually a lot better now than they were 20/30 years ago IMO. One of the primary goals of a conquering force is to make people feel like resistance is futile; instill pessimism. But there are a lot of educated people today. People were always instinctively conservative, but now there are a lot of educated conservatives. They can only operate in a total information vacuum, and they’re not going to have it.

In terms of media propaganda, we need to find a way to apply Alinsky - pick the target, polarize it. They hide behind the idea that these are just independent companies operating as normal businesses, so there’s no one thing to go after. Anyone with half an ounce of sense can see the fact that they are operating as a single operation
