Originally the news media was supposed to be Free, Independent and Objective.
That clearly failed.
Then came the Fact Checkers. Free. Independent. Objective.
And that clearly failed.
What’s next from the great and wonderful land of leftist lying propaganda working in total servile coordination with the great and wonderful DNC?
A few???
I am watching a movie and when I get up to answer the phone, my wife changes the channel to the DNC Lie fest. It’s always the same thing. I hear the lie, say something, my wife tells me to shut up and then I leave the room. A few minutes later she comes in and says we never spend time together.
Last night was no different. LaRaza Guttierez was giving his illegal immigrant speech. When I sit back down I hear something about how immigrants should no longer hide in the shadows. Of course I yell at the TV, “Immigrants don’t have to hide in the shadows, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS” hide in the shadows. I get the “shut up” fromn the wife, I get up and go upstairs. 10 minutes later I hear, “we don’t spend time together.”
That’s when I called it a night.
You don’t think that they’ve been winning elections for the past fifty years with the TRUTH, do you??
I am sorry, but I had to turn off the sound and just watch who was speaking. The outright lies, deception, and distortions came so fast I couldn’t keep up. In addition they just fortunately mentioned what I regard as their most important issue other than Global Warming, was the overwhelming need to overturn the Supreme Court decision on “Citizens United”, and Hillary has said she would do it. Don’t ask me how but if it gets to the point she is Prez I don’t doubt she will “getter done”. A thousand reasons to if necessary swallow your “pride” and vote Trump, or if already on the Trump Train, do your duty and hope for success and not disappointment.
The whole convention was a disaster. Everything about it was wrong. They even have a wall around the stage. First they build this stage with this nice open stair cases leading up to the podium, but they put a blue wall around it. Sends a mixed message, are they open to people and their fellow democrats or are they about containing them?
Then they have the fence around the property to keep other democrats out. Nothing says unity like a 8ft steel fence. Plus the stage itself, its dark and cold looking, nothing is vibrant or upbeat. It looks like it is from the 1990’s just like their tired old platform.
Honestly, the Democratic party is a big loser here. If last night was supposed to be planed and managed, it was done so poorly that a high school principal could have done a better job. They screwed everything up, they could not even open their own convention without screwing that up as well.
They sent a message last night, the Democratic Party is the party of screw ups and authoritarians.
Good luck with that
Big government and baby killers.
“Progress”
Better and easier to expose any factual statements.
RATS sound kinda dark.
btt
Thank goodness I married a conservative, but then I made sure. For me I knew it would cause trouble if we held different political views. Especially on my end.
Sounds like you and the wife don’t have much in common. Being opposed politically is about the same as being from two religions. I hope she’s really hot.
“Thank goodness I married a conservative, but then I made sure. For me I knew it would cause trouble if we held different political views. Especially on my end.”
My wife’s family is Jewish. If Hitler had a “D” next to his name they would vote for him.
Free and independent, yes, but never objective. The myth of objectivity was created by the press, to create "trust" where absolutely none is or ever was warranted. Trump has it right, the press is populated with the most dishonest people in the world. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just that people need to know it.
A great new world in the making, I heard Bernie’s speech, soooo much FREE STUFF being promised. Everything will become free or affordable, the minimum wage will be raised. I can’t wait, I can get a 4 Cyl. compact car for only $125,000 so I can run to the store and purchase my $50 loaf of bread. Free education, free medical, free. free, free. ( I can see doctors and dentists earning $50 an hour, can’t you?) Utopia is coming. Sure there were false claims, but does it mater? The minions believe all that comes out of the mouths of the Dem Candidates. Lucky Dems, they seem to convince everyone on the left side of the bell curve.
Elicited an involuntary chuckle out of me, thanks!
Sad story. Ya’ll need 2 tv,s .
randita, I’ve come to believe they are literally incapable of even discussing the issue. It’s just not important in their world. They’re completely disconnected from the rest of the world - the focus is only on how to socialize USA. In fact, most Dems would be okay under Muslim regime, as long as they didn’t have to give up too much personally.
But there certainly used to be more of a diversity of viewpoints.
Airwave media is supposed to be objective, but the FCC doesn't seem to give a hoot, unless it gets too conservative.
