The nazis were socialist, but whatever.

Give some solid real world examples of right authoritarian actions.

Without media, we would gravitate towards a dictatorship.

You may think their job is to report the truth but you are wrong and they don’t.

Yes, Fox News is included in my question.
The enemy OF the people ARE the people.

In the Current Year, the small-minded are the ones who continually tell us that to be straight, white, etc. is "troubling and problematic."

It's Okay To Be White.

On the other hand, consult any history book (pre-Current Year) regarding Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and others for left-wing regimes.

Egalitarianism killed far more in the 20th century than did nationalism.

Read the book 1984 and get a glimpse of what the MSM is headed to... a totalitarian media .. using hate as a control device. Get educated as the media doesn't report the truth.. they report their bias to control the masses.

You seriously don’t think a president like Trump wants a state media source that controls what the public gets to see and hear? He whines like a little child every chance he gets.

I would NOT use the word "enemy"

"Please bear in mind that the media’s job is to manufacture crisis not to report the truth." B.S. it is NOT theor 'job" to manufacture crisis.

NEWS is in fact an acronym for North, East, West and South.

Their "job", is to REPORT what is happening in a truthful NON-BIASED way,as Srgt fridsay used to say. "The FACTS Ma'am, JUST the FACTS", NOT "manufacture" news.

Unfortunately most of them have developed a very strong political bias and distort misrepresent and out right lie in order to push their OWN bias's

I have always said ,it is NOT just what they report BUT, what teyt DON'T report.

Example, when was the last time you read or heard a story from the national news where someone used a gun to STOP a crime? Seldom if ever. Even when they do, they OMIT important info that puts the using of a gun in a good light. The Va, Law school shooting is a perfect example.

Why isn't the killings in places like Chicago and Balt in the national news EVERY WEEK?. But, let one white cop shoot a black and it is 24/7 on the national news.

Even if a pistol is used they NEVER fail to talk about so called "assult-weapons".

When 90 PERCENT of your stories are negative , when MANY positive things could be reported, toward 1 person anybody with a brain can see the fallacy of their "reporting"!


The media has had a LOWER approval rating then even Congress for DECADES for very good reasons.
