To delegitimize Trump’s victory, the Left is setting the parameters of the controversy and the terms by which it will be discussed.

Well then why did not the legislative pussies defund the positions until the law was complied with?

A leftist monopoly on broadcasting occurs because the Left is able to intimidate advertisers who dare to have their ads on “objectionable” shows.

We shall see who intimidates them more - Trump or the Democrat/media complex.

Because rightists are busy producing.

Leftists flock to non-productive areas that serve as propaganda outlets (i.e., propaganda is their only real product):

Media. Academia. Politics.

Yes, that’s their narrative.

They are continuing to push it. I listened to my local NPR affiliate this morning and they repeatedly used the words “misogynist” and “racist”. I don’t know if they mentioned “all around evil” because I couldn’t stand to listen for very long. But in that short time, they also tossed in plenty of “xenophobic”, “homophobic”, and “islamophobic”. Not just Trump, but all conservative. They were discussing how they need to fight back against us because of all these terrible traits we have.

"Comey” is the subject of a new Justice Department probe. As always, the Left is setting the parameters of the controversy and the terms by which it will be discussed.

I think the GOP should double down and appoint a special council to investigate Hillary, Comey, Lynch and Brennan. The justice department can't investigate itself.

The cries of “cover up” will be deafening. As usual, the Left has made this as difficult as possible.

Appoint a special council.

” Why? Because Liberal Democrats control all broadcast channels, all movie creation, most magazines and most of the internet.

They have a massive machine to get their narrative out, while we only have word of mouth and common sense, of which the nation is increasingly lacking year after year.

Liberal control of the information Transmission systems is a threat to the security and well being of the nation. “

And why is that? Because Wealth Republicans are to cheap or disinterested to buy media. It seems they get their tax cuts by contributing and “working with the Democrats to get things done.” We should oppose every tax cut for wealthy or corporations until this is addressed.

And because all the networks are located in major Cities and their hiring pool is made up of 90% liberal Democrats. Demands for conformity then weed out dissenters who might challenge the dominant orthodoxy.

The media is liberal because everyone who works there is liberal, right down to the janitors that clean their floors.
