It's just like Pravda in the USSR. Now the best sources of news are those outside the country, or small right wing sites.

AND.....heavily biased audiences search for media that feeds them what they want to hear.
The mainstream liberal news media is anti-white and pro-black.

It has nothing to do with the audience being heavily biased.

Small right wing sites like the Gateway Pundit or the Red State News? Which news sources outside the country are better than the newspapers in every state.

Not just rightwing sites, there are several left leaning independent journalist who write the truth regardless of their political leanings. Some in fact who are quite angry with mainstream media with its lies and censorship.

Seriously? Where have you been over the past 5+ years?
The leftist media lied about Trump and everyone around him constantly. From small matters like the type of shoes Melania wore to a flood zone or the MLK bust being removed to major matters like Russia, Russia, Russia, and everything in between.

The following link has a very long list, though it is a partial list since there were far too many lies to list, that you might want to look through to jog your memory of the lies that you and others on the left had been fed by your media.

They used to serve us well. They no longer do. The change happened towards the end of Bush II’s presidency. It’s as if they all got together and decided to throw out fair reporting and replaced it with doing all they can to get Democrats elected.

They even took it further this past election. Instead of just ignoring the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, they falsely discredited it.

That’s what happens when one side thinks the other is an existential threat. There is nothing you wouldn’t do to win. Now, it’s 2021 and both sides consider the other an existential threat.

This isn’t going to end well.

Liberal media's MO is to coordinate their headline for the day, propagandize whichever big lie they're harping on at the time, repeat it hypnotically with breathless drama until all submit to believing their deceptive lies. Then, harp on it more and double the drama, drag it out longer. When their lies are proven false eventually, ignore the proof that they lied.


I used to despise Fox news when W was president, but when I voted for Obama and needed the truth after being utterly disappointed in his actions, I started watching them.



Even local news stations and newspapers are a joke. I watch local news for the few and far between stories of fact in my area.

The 29% get the "news" from Facebook and Tic- Toc

Snort! The media in the U.S. have buried the story of the U.S. Capitol bombing since 1971. Committed by the leftist Weather Underground, they would rather rail against “The January 6 Insurrection”, which newly-released video proves was an elderly crowd slowly milling about while waving flags and recording with their phones.

The only victim of January 6 is an increasingly ignorant populace, due to a propagandist media— and an unarmed woman who was shot in the face by a “heroic” Capitol Police officer. The stories of an officer bludgeoned by a fire extinguisher was patently false.
