How Are the Left-Wing Media Controlling the News?
The Stream ^ | July 19, 2021 | Mike Huckabee

Posted on 07/20/2021 7:11:11 AM PDT by Heartlander

A reader wrote in to ask, “How are the Democrats/left controlling social media and the news? I truly don’t understand how this is happening and would appreciate your thoughts.”

Focused Like a Laser Beam — 100% About Power

It did seem to happen almost overnight, didn’t it? It was as if all the chess pieces were in place to take over most popular methods of communication. But this has been at work in media for a long time, just as it has been on college campuses and in corporations that suddenly appear “woke,” arranged by people who want nothing less than to control us all. They plan to take down this country and establish what they want. They’re focused like a laser beam, and they’re well on their way to doing this.

It is 100 percent about power: they think that they, as the “virtuous,” the socially aware, are going to be on the winning side and get all the favors while the other half of the country, the “deplorables,” will be at their mercy. That, to them, is “justice.” The “reckoning.” And in order to stop this unraveling and repair the damage we first have to know what their mechanisms are.

The Threat is Imminent

Coincidentally, Fox News weekend host Pete Hegseth was on Life, Liberty & Levin on Sunday to talk with Mark about the imminent threat. Levin has a new book called American Marxism, in which he writes,

Our challenge today is just as crucial and urgent [as it was in Revolutionary days], and in many ways, more complicated. We did not ask for this confrontation, but it is here. And, in truth, like the early days of the Revolutionary War, we are losing. Unfortunately, most of the country has been caught flat-footed and remains unengaged.

We’ve reached the point where we’re either...

I asked a reporter at a local television station if most of the people there were liberals. She said ‘of course’.

Maybe these people are liberal leaning without any help from government.

Leftists pretty much take over and drive good people out, so pretty much only Leftists are interested in becoming journalists.

They aren’t left wing.

Show me one press person or one Democrat politician out pulling turnips at Turnip Commune #34.

They are raking in big money and they are protecting that.

Has there ever been a civilization that survives without the support of the warrior caste? In America, one can be a member without being co-opted of the ruling class, thanks to the 2nd Amendment. Liberals may attempt to grab power but can they keep it?

Partner, they are focused Like a Laser Beam — 100% is All About Power thru the MSM.

We need to combat them at all levels and out with the Rinos.

Why did Joe Biden keep that Aneurysm talk affecting his brain.

We know now why Biden wanted to keep that a secret and not have to tell the MSM about how they had to take out about 40% to 50% of this brain out to get to the bleeding aneurysm.

If he had been a Republican they would have already Impeached the idiot.

When I moved to Atlanta in ‘72, my next door neighbor worked for WSB TV. This individual, pretty conservative, indicated that he never talked politics or had a comment on how any of his stories were edited or broadcast. The fallout would have jeopardized his job. After a later move, my next door neighbor was on air at CNN. This individual had worked on air at many of the large market big 3 network channels before landing at CNN. He indicated pretty much the same thing. If they thought you were too conservative you wouldn’t be hired, and if they found out that you were too conservative your career would be dead ended at best. No tolerance for any view outside the dogma of the left.

Ironic coming from Huckabee who was in the heart of the Beast at Fox News for so many years. He was as much a part of the effort to control the news as anyone else.

His show, like all the others, was an effort to distract and control. Hours spent on the pop culture outrage of the week with no time spent on the drive to socialism.

There are just 6 media companies that control 90% of what we see and hear. That’s how.

It’s not new.

If a Republican Senator drove a young woman off a bridge and to her death, the press would be completely different than what it was for Ted Kennedy.

More recently, imagine the press if Hunter Biden’s laptop belonged to Donald Trump Jr.

P.S. See tagline.

I like Levin, but whenever I hear him hawking his new book, I turn off the radio.

Lately, I've been turning off the radio a lot.

The last thing our side needs is more books. While we've been writing and reading a lot of books over the last few decades, the Left has been in action and seizing control at many levels throughout U.S. society.

We conservatives are probably the best informed oppressed people in the history of the world.
