I say bring it on! I don't care if its calls out Hillary or Trump. At least we know what the hell is going on instead of being fed a bunch of bull crap.

If the media can't do it's job its time to replace them.

The media is dead. Thank goodness for hackers- the new "watchdog of the government".




You said it.

Any time you’re receiving information, you have to think about the motivations of the source. The curtain has been pulled back and we see the media's motivation is to get Hillary elected, they don't even try to hide it. And now the days of media outlets being the gatekeepers (of information) are over.

The media is receiving directives from somewhere. Here is Chris Matthews talking about Hillary when she was running against Obama.

"The reason she’s a candidate for President, is that her husband messed around. That’s how she got to be a Senator from NY. She didn’t win it on her merit"
... MSNBC Chris Matthews


The anonymity of Wikileaks is working. The people distrust of the media. Whistleblowers are now more likely to rely on alternatives like Wikileaks than on more traditional media outlets. “If you’ve got a watch dog barking and growling at you, sometimes you go around the fence and try the back door instead.”

I'd vote for Trump before Cruz.

We have both liberal and conservative leaning media, they all do a good job of bringing issues to the front more than any other nation but now they are all corrupted.


Do you understand what you are saying, you support illegal activities regardless because it lets you spy on people. Boy has this country changed. I assume you were in support of the patriot act and illegal wiretaps under the Bush administration, after all it brought out the truth.


You must love Russia, that would be a dream come true.

This is all true. The level of left wing bias is ridiculous!! The true irony though is when liberals get all up in arms about Fox News but completely ignore the level of BIAS in the rest of the media.

I've often said this and it bears repeating...
I don't think liberals really have a problem with Fox, it's just that it isn't biased in THEIR favor and THAT is what they have a problem with!!

Basically a network came along and offered up the same bias and propaganda that the mainstream media has been serving up for years and years except they favor the right instead of the left. Listening to liberals you would think that right wing radio and Fox news were the antichrist while they happily tune into their own echo chambers like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, The New York Times, Huff Post, et al.

Well.... Are you surprised that Trump is a joke of a candidate and is being treated as such?
