I think that language might be a bit strong.

But the media is very much, against conservatives. The media is CHOCK FULL of leftists.

They are all over the media. Everywhere.

Conservatives, really don’t have much at all. Luckily, the outlets we have, are quite popular. Fox for example.

But the number of leftists vs conservatives in the American media is HUGELY on the left.

90% or more. 95%. Maybe even higher.

Really.

One this is indisputable as it is supported by FACTS, The media is the enemy of unbiased fair and balanced reporting. And for that, it logically follows that if they are willingly misrepresenting the news and feeding the people Left Wing propaganda, then they are the enemy of everyone who is not Left Wing.

At the very least, they've picked a side, so they are an opponent of "the other side."

Quibbling over labels used for rhetorical emphasis (enemy vs. opponent; "the people" vs. "half the people") takes attention off the simple fact that journalists are politically aligned hacks; and that they are globalists, not nationalists.

They incite violence..
They incite division ...
They want to disarm innocent people...
They demonize/slander groups that stand up for freedom...

Sounds like the British of 1775. Yes, they’re and enemy to the people and our Constitutional Republic.

Most can no longer be considered journalists. They are activists and they shill for one side. It ain’t the people’s side.

So yes, the are the enemy of the people. They do what they do to cover up and lie to promote progressives and other communists.

Political activists crusading for progressive causes behind the mask of a press credential ARE enemies of the people. No less so than Josef Goebbels, and for the same reasons.

...enemies of the people or just liberal hacks?

They are the same thing.

I think most of them are frauds – political activists crusading for progressive causes behind the mask of a press credential – but not enemies.

Is the wolf, decorated in sheep's clothing, a friend to the sheep?

Oh, and stop calling our form a government a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

Is it proper to call them “journalists” when they often deliberately misrepresent or omit facts, or distort facts into a predetermined narrative???

I think not. . . .

Well, I can tell you what Union general William Tecumseh Sherman had to say on the matter:

“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as little more than spies, which, in truth, they are. If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting press dispatches from Hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh Sherman.

Journalists are not enemies of the people....propagandists are.

There are very, very few real journalists still practicing the profession, but there are myriads of propagandists.
