As with so much of what the Democrat/Left does, they figure if they wish really, really hard, if they say it enough times and if they say it loudly enough and, did I mention, they wish really, really hard what they think will become reality (although it's clear that prior to the Internet the Democrat/Left was occasionally successful with this practice ... no more though.

Think about how many times and with how very many things and ideas the Democrat/Left has done this. Denying reality, wishing reality to be what they most fervently want it to be, then accepting their "new", their "alternate version of reality must be in their DNA ... they can't help themselves, just like that with every thing they do, the Democrat/Left always -- always overreaches ... as with the current flu debacle. Cheers!

You journalists should stop trying to play Hollywood trial lawyer and press for information and news instead. As far as being unbiased as you like to claim....any notion of that has been completely blown over the last ten years.

Last week, I was censured by FB for facts I, as a physician, know to be true.

What happened to you would normally be disconcerting, perhaps even shocking ... but it is FB we're discussing here ...

They are winning. Trump is on track to lose the election resoundingly, ushering in an era of massive liberalism.

They are not winning, they are revealing their hate, nastiness and lies. But apparently that’s who they are and what they do so Trump an the administration should simply accept it and react accordingly.

Like RUSH preached to the House freshmen when Newt took over, NEVER think the media will be your friends, they despise you, accept it.

They think in the last week that they are winning with the Lysol discussion and memes

Unfortunately, they might be setting things up to try to win for Biden early.

Why else would the CEO of NBCNews openly write this letter.

“he hasn’t laid a glove on serious journalism.”

What would you clowns know about serious journalism?

No, the media is under attack. Journalism is not. There are few if any journalists remaining in the mainstream media.

If the MSM is winning, why didn’t Mrs. Bill Clinton win 90-10?

Opinion: Journalism is under attack from coronavirus and the White House. But we’re winning.

Then why is it that across the board you are referred to as the eneMedia and it fits.

(1) Stop all White House briefings.

(2) Cut off FoxNews -- including Hannity, etc.

(3) Start dishing only to OAN (eg. interviews, breaking stories, etc.)

Journalism IS under attack.

The attack is by partisan leftists masquerading as “reporters” who are only interested in shaping the narrative into their views, and primarily trying to make themselves look like the embattled “david” against the evil Trump Goliath.

But what they’ve managed to do is poison the media to an entire generation of consumers. I used to be able to “deal with” slanted reporting. But given what they’ve done to President Trump, his administration, his nominees, and the way they colluded with the former administration to ensure that there was NO peaceful transition of power, they’ve lost me to the point that I will never trust any of them, for even the most trivial news.

These are corporate and communist government shills, and nothing more. They’ve worked to install a corrupt harridan as POTUS, and after she lost, they’ve worked to overthrow a legally elected president, some going so far to say that he committed treason because of collusion that they reported, but that they knew were all lies. The so-called mainstream media colluded with the former administration’s intelligence service to spread lies and undercut any policies and the prestige of the President and administration on the International front.

But most recently, we’ve seen them running Chinese Communist Party propaganda as “news.”

The “Fake news” really is the enemy of “The People.”

I knew that the train was going to run off the tracks in the late 1980s when I heard an interview with a “journalism student” at University of Missouri (supposedly one of the top “journalism schools in the country,) that the reason she wanted to become a journalist was “to make the world a better place.”

I’ll never forget that. I was driving home from school in New York, nearly home, north of Kansas City, having stopped off at a DQ at an exit on I-29, and was waiting in the drive-through for a cherry Mr. Misty, and I heard that on Chuck Harder’s “For the People” syndicated radio show.

I was aghast. And I still remember it clearly, a bit more than 30 years later!
