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.”
As good revolutionaries, they are furthering the revolution and therefore not committing fraud.
Some might call it conspiracy but the delusion of the left is that conspiracy is not conspiracy but a healthy activity that is completely moral which makes the destruction of the Republic its aim and not illegal, immoral or wrong.
The Constitution is the target and they are hiding behind whatever they can to subvert it and then make it irrelevant.
IMHO
Yeah he lost me cause first he wrote this:
“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 that is why they do not do it. In the last two years I have come to regard the media as a tool of behind the scenes interests who's bread is buttered by government spending.
Of course they are going to order their minions to produce stories that help keeps the party of Government spending in power. The people who literally own the media get much of their income from liberal government policy.
You ask "why?" Might I suggest that it is because the owners of the media make a lot of money and wield a lot of power as a result of Liberal government policies?
Think "Solyndra", but much bigger.
I've been saying this since 1992 when I watched them throw the election to Bill Bastard Clinton.
I have an even simpler explanation. The mostly New York based "news" organizations promote policies that enrich the people who own those companies.
The media pushes a liberal slant on everything and censor stories beneficial to conservatives because whomever owns these media companies, benefits greatly from Liberal policies in Government.(especially liberal spending policies)
They therefore work to help liberal people get elected so that liberal policies will keep the Government money spigot flowing.
Why did the scorpion sting the frog?
Good idea.
You think I was disagreeing with you?
My why? was a rhetorical question that I immediately answered; without your money-to-be-made extension.

No, I didn't think you were disagreeing. I just took your "why" as an opportunity for me to wax rhetorical.
Just enthusiasm for the topic, I meant nothing directed at you personally.
Who knew lying could be so profitable?
When they finally DO indict Shrillary for all/some of her crimes, Georgie Stephanopolus better be put on suicide watch....he is devoted to her. God Bless Judicial Watch- they have kept after Shrillary.
And Wolf Blitzer also. Of course, CNN is one of the fronts for the CIA, so that could be why Blitzer is that way.
I would take away their broadcast licenses.

That is NOT as simpler explanation, rather, it assumes that all newspaper owners and broadcasters have taken the trouble to invest, secretly, in companies that profit from “liberal” spending policies.My explanation is that the very business model of the newspaper itself depends on cynicism towards society. I don’t have to assume that the owner of that newspaper has any other business interest apart from the newspaper. I don’t actually have to assume that the owner himself is a “liberal.” He could be a conservative who sincerely objects to “bias in the media” - provided only that he accepts that “the news” as such is what journalists normally report. That is, bad news almost exclusively. Once concede that the only thing that matters to your business is bad news - while claiming that your newspaper is objective - and your conservative newspaper owner can write conservative editorials ’til the cows come home, and still be operating a “liberal” propaganda organization.
In the old days before the AP, newspapers were idiosyncratic - each newspaper was about it’s printer’s opinion. Therefore you wouldn’t want a steady diet of a newspaper whose printer’s politics were anathema to you - but not all newspapers were owned by printers of a single ideology. Now, under the AP paradigm, that is swept away and newspapers are different beasts. In the old days most newspapers were weekly, and some didn’t even have a deadline at all. Now a “real newspaper" prints daily because "the wire” gives an unlimited supply of bad news to report, on the one hand, and OTOH that “wire” is too expensive to be able to afford to pay for it and not use it daily.
So why then did they censor bad news under the Obama administration?
Besides, I wasn't really talking about Newspapers. I was talking about organizations with hundreds of millions of viewers per week. The Broadcasting television system.
It’s because their heros did the same for Uncle adolph and Grampy Lenin.
Yes, the media is pulling the strings of this country’s idiots. The “fear and panic” thing has done it’s work. Hopefully, T will get it under control.
I did not say that newspapers or broadcasters are in fact owned by conservatives, I asserted that the very business model of journalism is a fit for “Liberalism.” So much so that you would have to be self-consciously conservative to make the slightest dent in the milieu in which you are operating.In reality that inherent bias due to the business model has, long since, purged all conservatives from the business. So you have people who are looking for bad news about society, not about government. Bad news about government is an occasion only for more government, certainly not for deregulation.
The AP (and all wire services) homogenizes journalism. So the political perspective which aligns best with the business model which best makes journalism commercially successful is promoted - and any contrary model runs into journalism’s antibodies. Gets rejected as “not objective, not a journalist.”
