Sure, and that's how they elected Hillary President in 2016, right?
Oh, wait....
DiogenesLamp: "news has more of a direct effect on the voting portion of the population than does the entertainment people in Hollywood. "
Depends on your definition of "news".
Are Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon, Meyers, etc. just comedy, are do many pick up their political attitudes from them.
How about Opra or Ellen DeGeneres, just comedy or also political attitudes?
DiogenesLamp: "I have already pointed out that it isn't solely New York,"
It isn't even solely the USA, international socialism or progressivism or whatever they call themselves today, is not even headquartered in the US, much less in New York.
But you use "New York" as your alternative to the more traditional metaphorical words "Babylon" or "Rome" meaning the seat of all wickedness.
I don't think New York deserves such disrespect.
Of course it's not my cup of tea, but some of my daughters lived there for years, and it did not mistreat them, far from it.
DiogenesLamp: "You really haven't been looking at this problem.
If you had, you would already know the answer to that question. "
Of course I know the answer, but I'd like to see you say it: Alabama Republicans did not pay much attention to New York media, why should they?
But they were shocked and dismayed to learn things about Roy Moore at the last minute which would have disqualified him had they known it earlier.
DiogenesLamp: "Democrat basically ran as a right wing conservative, and the people of that district bought it."
Sadly, we Pennsylvanians have always been suckers for Democrats dressed up in Republican clothing.
What can I say?
This is an example of very bad reasoning. That they were not successful does not prove that they did not have a major impact on the race. They *WERE* successful in 2008 at electing a no-talent, incompetent jack@SS with no experience in anything of any worth, and this jack@ss was elected strictly on the build up of the Media weapon system.
The media also elected that disgusting bag of sh*t known as Bill Clinton back in 1992. They artificially created the impression that the economy was in shambles, and that "the economy" was the most important issue in that election year. Of course they were lying, but they used their power to elect that piece of sh*t anyway.
We ought not have to have such lopsided propaganda working against us in elections. Were it not for the media keeping their thumb on the scales, the entire congress, the courts, and the presidency would all be far more conservative than they are.
The Core has been using their power to attract and concentrate more wealth and more power to themselves and their areas until most of the nation’s wealth and power are concentrated in Clinton’s 2/3rds of GDP, the sub-10% of the counties. All top 10 richest zip codes are now in one region: the Washington D.C. area.Economic wealth and power is used to expand political power, further extracting the wealth of the Periphery to maintain the lifestyle of the Core. While this may seem a practical strategy, it isn’t. At one time the Periphery was creating maybe 2/3rds of the wealth of the nation, costing nothing, and that was with no more infrastructure than remains today.
That's it. I had something like that idea, but couldn't put it into words.
