I think that of the Alex Jones, Brietbart Zerohedge, Hanity, Limbaugh, clan. (They are offensive and play down to their audience as if their audience isn't able to handle a high level of journalism, entertainment, information).
They TELL YOU the are conservative opinion shows. CNN, NBC/MSNBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, NYT, Washpo, AP, etc lie to you, and deceive you, pretending it is the "news". And you believe them being the intelligent person you are.

LOL true. Alex Jones (too far out), Brietbart (don't read), Limbaugh (I listen to music), Hannity (once in awhile), so yes, the liberal media tells you what "they want people to THINK" are conservative shows and that's exactly what this thread is, media telling people what they want us to think. They tell you all kinds of things about people like me that we didn't even know about ourselves <sarcasm> LOL
What news outlet has called him racist & a Nazi? For real, what news reporter has said that? I'd like links to legit sources.
Here's just a few examples of the liberal narrative constantly being repeated by that Trump is a Nazi/ white supremacist -- this morning on NPR that's all their guests and commentators could talk about -- no one there to deny it -- they all spoke as if it was just fact now that he's a white supremacist or Nazi sympathizer.
Name one liberal reporter that has denied he's a racist when their guests say he is.

You mean commentators? I specifically asked about news, about reporters. Not commentary. Try again.
The media is not just reporters -- I stated that majority of the MEDIA is liberal and that is unhealthy when one ideology controls the narrative in this country.
The narrative that's being supported by them is that Trump is a racist and by association so are his supporters.
The reporters allow this narrative by not having a counter dialog or interview. Sometimes it's just a subtle implication that he and his supporters are racist, other times it's obvious.
but the leftist people are exactly as you describe...stupid and easily manipulated.
This is what I don't get, and somewhat disagree with. Most of my friends aren't stupid. One is a leading scientist. I have a lot of frustration right now that so many intelligent people are buying into these talking points that get regurgitated on social media. I know they're smart, so I can't figure out what's behind it. The only thing I can come up with is that if you DON'T do this, or you question the narrative, the results can be very uncomfortable. It makes you susceptible to being labeled a bigot, racist, etc.
Maybe it's because regardless of how smart they are, they like the pat on the back they get for espousing the "correct" sentiment. Maybe it's about needing egos stroked. Maybe it's feeling the need to publicly distance themselves from the ugliness of the neoNazis and white supremacists (or the low-education poor, or whatever). I don't know, but it's getting old.

I struggled with a lot of this about 10 years ago. At the time I was working in tech support of a major computer hardware company, I was very baffled at the amount of support Obama had within my coworkers, most were very sharp technically but it has become clear to me that logic and common sense was an area they were lacking. It makes sense now.
Ive had plenty of false labels put on me, Im no snowflake, label me whatever makes you feel better. It wont get to me.
