Joseph Goebbels did not kill anyone until the last days when he murdered his six children and then took his own life. Why did he do that? He was “ONLY” a propagandist. What did he have to fear?

Now consider the scumbag propagandist at the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, on and on. They have done far worse than Goebbels, took money from the Biden regime to spread lies about the safety of COVID vaccines, hid and protected the Joe and Hunter Biden pedophile, rapist history. They were instrumental in the Russia, Russia hoax.

Will Banjo Boy and his adulterous wife commit suicide, now that they know what’s coming? Their days are numbered.

If you’re working for the Democrats, you’re a threat to American democracy.

People who practice, ignore, or downplay vote fraud are a threat both to democracy and to our republic. That manifestly includes Democrats and the MSM.

Its easy to bring back accurate reporting in todays bogus media.

Just pass a Federal Free Speech Tar and Feather Act.

Any reporter who engages in the reporting of falsehood, or commits lible or defamation,uses false sources , creates propaganda, can be seized, tarred, feathered and run out on a rail.Thats what would have happened in America’s early days. It is an institution that should be re-introduced.

We would only have to do a few, the deterrant effect would be automatic.

Either way, if only 60% of Americans think our ENEMEDIA is in fact our ENEMEDIA, then what have the other 40% been watching or doing or smoking?!?

“Just pass a Federal Free Speech Tar and Feather Act.”

Rope is cheaper and requires no fossel fuel or chicken parts.

That’s because “Freedom of the Press” was not meant to be choosing side and lying.

Google made a recent change in not listing Free Republic in the list of links that pop up when you open Google ap. I now have to type in Free Republic, and the direct link still doesn’t pop up till you hit button on right. They confuse you with a listing of Free Republic everything else. It opens, but at first I was confused. This is censoring news. Google knows I go to conservative apps all the time, and they replaced them with a list of trending topics they want you to see. Voter suppression.

The media throws liberal garbage at us day after day, year after year. They feel they have a right to lie too.

Only 60% ?

That tells us that about 40% of the populace is either nuclear grade stupid, functionally insane, dangerously evil or some combination of the three.

"That’s because “Freedom of the Press” was not meant to be choosing side and lying."

Freedom of the press is actually, "freedom to who owns the press".

Currently, the vast majority of our press and media are owned by anti-Christians, i.e., those who hate Christians and America.

Just need a mandatory up front disclaimer stated or displayed when it is not actual proven fact. “This is a personal opinion and not necessarily fact”.

The media engages in Leftist activism, not true unbiased journalism. The use bias in many ways, but very often it’s bias by omission, not reporting stories that highlight the benefits of conservatism. They are also actively involved in racial division, which is harmful.

They are the enemy of the people just as Trump and others have said. They’ve been just that for decades. It’s the media that has covered up the extent of black on white crime for at least the last 50+ years. They are the ones who lied us into never ending wars in the Middle East. They are the ones who whipped up thousands of riots throughout the country over the last several decades.

I see the media as the number one threat to our Republic. The media feeds lies to the gullible half of the US.

its not the bias

its the lack of competition

media has always been biased and always will be

there needs to be more balance between left and right leaning media

“...59 percent of voters view the media as a “major threat to democracy,” while 25 percent said the press is a “minor threat”...”

59 + 25 = 84 percent think that the media is a threat to democracy, so why is their headline “Nearly 60 percent see mainstream media as a threat to democracy: poll”
