America has become a Banana Republic. You know, the kind of place where the media doesn’t report the news, they instead decide what news you should be allowed to hear.
The Mainstream media determines the headlines. And since 99.9% of the people who run the media are either liberal Democrats, or crony capitalists in bed with the DC swamp, they purposely choose headlines to confuse you, distract you, or sadly, outright mislead you. That’s called fraud.
Case in point. What have you heard about for a solid week? A small KKK protest in Charlottesville. And then this past Friday a quick interruption for Steve Bannon's firing.
But isn't news about jobs and the economy dramatically improving under President Trump much more important to the average American?
Under President Obama we had the eight worst GDP (Gross Domestic Product) years in the history of America. Our GDP was under 3% for all eight years of Obama. That’s never happened since the day our country was founded in 1776.
And during the 1930’s (the entire decade of The Great Depression) our combined GDP for the decade was 1.3%. Guess what our combined GDP was for eight years under Obama?
1.3%. We just lived through an "Obama Great Depression." Except this time the media never reported it to the people.
Barack Obama destroyed the US economy and killed the entire American middle class with his obsession with social justice, green energy, open borders, big taxes, big regulations, Obamacare and big government.
Yet the media said nothing. They never reported all this. Instead, the media used the words “in recovery” thousands of times during Obama’s eight years. How could the eight worst years since 1776 be called “a recovery?” It’s all about what headlines the media chooses.
This was a massive cover-up of the failure of Obama’s policies.
Obama was a dream killer. A curse. He was Freddie Kruger.
If Obama’s economy was a movie, it would be “Night of the Living Dead.”
But this week the Atlanta Fed reported something remarkable. They predict the 3rd Quarter GDP of America will be 3.7%. That’s explosive growth. That’s like the Reagan years.
President Trump has changed everything in only seven months. Just by cutting a bunch of regulations and giving entrepreneurs, risk-takers, CEOs and small business owners “hope,” President Trump has brought us back from the dead.
Donald Trump is a magician. He proved that with the right attitude towards business, you can erase eight years of disaster and failure and misery, in record time.
But has this been a headline in the news? NO. It’s nowhere to be found.
But it’s not just GDP. Corporate earnings are setting records, job growth is phenomenal, there are more manufacturing jobs than at any time since before Obama took office, border crossings are dramatically down, and food stamp use is down by 1.3 million. Trump accomplished all of this in only seven months.
Has any of this been in the headlines? NO. It’s nowhere to be found.
Instead we are fed a steady diet of one protest-gone-bad in Charlottesville. And Donald Trump’s views on white extremism, the KKK and Neo Nazis.
Are you starting to get the picture?
On the same weekend as the one heinous protest and tragic murder in Charlottesville, we had 9 murders and 33 shot on the streets of Chicago. This happens every weekend in Chicago- a city run 100% by Democrats for the past half century..
Did you see that in the headlines? No.
Why was one tragic murder at a protest in Charlottesville far more important than nonstop mayhem and murder on the streets of Obama's hometown of Chicago every single week, 52 weeks a year?
At the same time, Debbie Wasserman Shultz is involved in what might be the biggest scandal in political history- allegedly involving bank fraud, extortion vs. 30 Democrat Congressmen, possible funding of terrorism with taxpayer money, espionage, a gigantic breach of national security, and the sale of state secrets to foreign enemies of America.
Not in the headlines.
At the same time, the FBI has re-opened the investigation into the meeting on the airport tarmac between Attorney General Lynch and Bill Clinton.
Not in the headlines.
At the same time, Julian Assange and Kim DotCom of Wikileaks claim they have news that will shock the nation over the DNC leaks, Seth Rich’s murder and Robert Mueller’s entire case against President Trump. Again, no headlines in the media.
It kind of makes you wonder...
Why is the mainstream media committing fraud?
It is called conspiracy.
MSM = Malignant Seditious Media

This little fact needs to be brought up a whole lot more
Unless you hit the media in the pocketbook, they will continue the madness. Pick an advertiser and start the boycotting and this will end very quickly.
The media is made up of hardcore communist ,,, pure and simple . You can hardly believe any news today from any of the alphabet networks . They are all extreme far left and approve of the violent antifa anarchists and their tactics .
When a liberal owner tells them what story to put out, they put it out and tell themselves, “That’s who pays me.”
When a conservative owner tells them to be fair, they scream that it’s censorship.
Why?
it is amazingly simple.
Fear, then panic.
It is no more complicated than fear and panic
I wish this writer would refer to GDP growth rate rather than just the GDP. They aren’t the same.
If the media told the truth, Democrats would win a lot fewer elections.
I know WHY they do it, what I don’t understand is why we can do nothing ABOUT them doing it.
Trump needs to revoke their media cards.
Let’s all send this column to some liberal news media person and report back if they answer.
If this was still the Obama administration, and Charlottesville was a story of a death occurring during protests led by BLM activists, AND the economy was improving as it is now, then (a) the media would not be asking Obama to refute the racism of BLM and any violence they created, and (b) ALL the headlines this past week would be about the economy.
Why.
The media is, not just reflects, but is, in its very bones an agenda, a political agenda and it must, for its lying sake, apply double standards - one for its friends joined at the hip with it in a political agenda, and one for anyone opposing their friends.
Alt-Left Media is the accurate label. It answers the question.
On every major issue, there is a national perception. The MSM wants to shape and even fabricate the issues and reality. They are this nation’s biggest enemy.
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith, Wealth of NationsCertainly journalists are "People of the same trade.” Do they "meet together” much? Only continuously, via the AP newswire. They’ve been doing it since memory of living man runneth not to the contrary.The question is, why do journalists conspire to promote “liberalism?” The answer is simple, once seen. The business model of journalism depends on belief in the objectivity of journalism and on journalism’s focus on bad news. “No news is good news” because good news “isn’t news. Why do those two things combine to promote “liberalism?” Because the very idea that “negativity is objectivity" is the very definition of cynicism.
Journalism is cynical towards society but that does not mean that it is cynical towards government. To the contrary, since skepticism toward society is the very raison d’être of government, cynicism toward society maps to naiveté towards government. Which is precisely the defining combination of socialism.
Because the Fourth Estate is a Fifth Column.
It’s what they do.
Yes, it is fraud. It’s not misreporting, or fake news. It’s fraud. The entire left acts as if it is mind-melded and seizes upon the opportunity as soon as it presents itself. They all know exactly what to do.
The goal is to destroy the country.
