Newt Gingrich: Say ‘Propaganda Media’ Not ‘News Media’ (speech to Heritage Foundation)
Right Wing Watch ^ | December 13, 2016 2:35 pm | Brian Tashman

Today at the Heritage Foundation, Newt Gingrich delivered a speech on “Trumpism” in which he lavished praise on President-elect Donald Trump and promoted his new ebook on Trump’s campaign while skewering the pontificating elites of the establishment.

“Donald Trump is the grizzly bear in ‘The Revenant,’” Gingrich said. “If you get his attention, he will get awake. When he gets awake, he will walk over and bite your face off.”

He said that while Trump’s “low energy” hit on his former GOP rival Jeb Bush was “totally untrue,” it was so effective that it proved Trump’s ability to read an audience and connect with voters.

However, “all these people in the news media” don’t understand Trump, Gingrich said, and “cannot come to grips” with why he is so successful.

“One of the great disgraces of the propaganda media we have, all of us on the right should describe it the propaganda media, drop the term ‘news media’ until they earn it, and begin to realize that the propaganda media cannot come to grips with the level of talent that they’re dealing with,” he said.

...all of us on the right should describe it the propaganda media

Call it Foreign Influenced Propaganda Media, because they are all owned by global corporations that are influenced by foreign governments.

I have been using the term propaganda media for a while now and encourage others to do the same. The term is accurate and concise. Perhaps it will shame the “journalists” into thinking about what they do. It might change a few of them.

I use, “Enemedia.”
As accurate today as it was in 2003.

I came up with Enemedia in 2003 when the news were feverishly working towards their goal of maximizing American military deaths, then celebrating them.

They earned that label.
Enemy+Media=Enemedia

I've been using the "Propaganda Press". Alliteration is everything in slogans.

I really like the term legacy media... Intimating their expiration date has come.

For a while I was using "propaganda corps," but "propaganda media" works.

It would be helpful to have a short slang word for leftist propaganda. Maybe "prop"?

Lamestream media or Redstream media as in communist red. My pet peeve is how RATS states are blue and Republicans are red. Communist red is the natural color of the totalitarian RAT party which is why they have stole the narrative to change it to blue.

Saw Newt on Fox too - he used terms like “Lame Stream media”, “New York Slimes” and “Washington Compost”. Got some interesting facial expressions from the gal talking with him....

It was true that Jeb came across as low energy. He took on the act of a buddha doll.

The uniparty is going to try and shut off free speech for conservatives with this fake news nonsense. McStupid is all over it.
