Everyone is seeing how the ‘RATs and MSM orchestrate the attacks.
I see the MSM as like a Navy defending a country that no longer exists. They’re allowed in ports because the others feel sorry for them but eventually even their hosts will wish they would just go away.
Democrats in the media look ignorant and uninformed because they let their bias get in the way. They are not objective.
They are not experts and wrong a large percentage of the time.
They are contrarians, who see only one side to a coin. They are parrots who can not think but only repeat the talking points.
Hate to disagree but the Left visits and reads sites that speak to them while the Right does the same. And since the Left controls tge nedia you can view simply by turning on the TV I would say theirs is a distinct advantage.
Allow me to repeat myself as I have been doing very often.
95% of all so called Journalists are self described Democrats, Liberals, Progressives or Socialists.
Of the remaining 5%, four out of five are Liars.
To that statement I would add to the last line "and talk radio". Tom
You are correct. It is very easy for people on the left to stay uninformed. I know people who think they are very well informed because they watch the networks and CNN, read WaPo and NYT and listen to NPR. Of course all of them are saying the same things. We see some of them even if we don’t want to, but they never have to see any opinions other that those on the left. It’s amazing how well we are doing.
When the lame street media faces bankruptcy because of declining viewership and subscribers they will pretend to lean conservative until it is financially feasible to return to the Democratic philosophy.
Its the economy stupid and immigration..nothing else is going to help the democrats..
90 percent of the people do not watch the news..it is the internet or nothing..
Only old people “turn on the TV.”
I wish the msm utter failure and bankruptcy.
Back in the stone age of the internet - 1999 or so - the internet was VERY conservative.
There was finally an outlet as compared to the fake legacy media.
” by turning on the TV “
Which 360,000 each month cut cable TV. They are getting less and less viewers.
... which is why the leftscum wanted “Net Neutrality” aka censorship of sites like Free Republic so badly.
I wish we would quit posting articles from “The Hill” and cut off some of their clicks and exposure. Also, use Duckduckgo as a search engine.
“95% of all so called Journalists are self described Democrats, Liberals, Progressives or Socialists.

Helluva point.
“Only old people “turn on the TV.”
Their programs are such insipid, PC crap. (Netflix sucks too) But the clue to what you said is to watch their ads, which are increasingly about medications for the elderly.
You’re talking about the echo chamber a lot of people find comforting. They get their news and info from sources that are friendly to their belief system.
That’s fine on the small stuff but big items will push through that fog of lies or half truths eventually. Then those news/info sources lose their credibility. Do this enough times and they are simply known as liars like CNN is now.
When I was growing up, we laughed at the ridiculous news from Pravda, and later, Baghdad Bob, just like today, where 92% of Republicans are insulated from the lies coming from the MSM. The only ones they are hurting are the people who are actually drinking the Kool-aid. They are the ones who are constantly shocked at the great economy and success of the Trump administration, and they will be shocked after the mid-terms because they are being intentionally lied to and manipulated. If the rank and file lib were as smart as they think they are, they should eventually catch on, but I doubt it.
