MO said , 'we have to rewrite history'... journalists apparently lost their curiosity

Obama said, 'isis is the jv team' no one in the media questioned him

Obama as dem candidate vs Hillary, claimed he would never pass healthcare reform by nuclear option because he would lose the trust to lead, he said if Hillary was elected, she would pass healthcare by nuclear option. Media missed that speech.

Obama, the harvard lawyer who lives and dies by word tense, punctuation, language nuance and carefully constructed sentences, plu perfect, participles, gerunds and a thesaurus somehow missed the part in his biograph that he was born in Kenya?????? The media glossed over that glaring error in complimentary mimicry of Obama overlooking the fact he was born in Kenya.

Obama spokeperson told us the world is safer place because of obama's ME policies. Yemen was a glowing success, the result of obama's ME policies.

Shovel ready jobs???????? O admits there were none... no challenge by the media

Joke of the year ,,,"AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE"... the day the batteries died in the media's calculators.

Yep, the free press exchanged their pres creds for membership in the official democrat socialist propaganda news distribution program.
So.....

Despite the fact that Obama produced his long form birth certificate.

Despite the fact that he never said in a biography that he was born in Kenya.

And despite that the 'biography saying that he was born in Kenya' was on the flap of a book jacket and was a mistake by an employee of his publisher who came out publicly and said that mistake on the flap was hers and was not based on anything Obama submitted to the publisher.

Despite those three things.......you're still a birther.

How sad for you.

There's no such thing as TDS.

It's not in the DSM, and it will never be in the DSM.

It's a made up acronym that some Trump supporters use to attempt to deflect criticism of their messiah when they are unable to refute the criticism.

We have to know it and accept it. For you people it seems that if you don't like what you are learning, then you change the channel. Not very bright.

For instance, just one example ... human influenced global warming is a real thing. The news media will report on it regardless of politics, it's just news.

But because many of you people don't want to believe it, you will attribute it to 'leftism' or whatever.

NOTE: global warming shouldn't be political. It is a common threat to all of us.

It doesn't matter if you are fiscally conservative or not, and it doesn't matter if you are religious, nor what your ethnic background is: global warming is simply a fact we have to live with, and the media treats it that way. The media reports on it.

You don't like that, you change the channel and complain about 'media bias'.

For another example: Covid 19 is a real, and a dangerous scourge. Masks help prevent the spread, albeit not perfectly, they help. The vaccine works, it reduces the spread and even in breakout cases the victims generally fare a lot better than if they had not taken it.

It doesn't matter if you are believe Covid is dangerous, and it doesn't matter if you are religious, nor what your ethnic background is: Covid 19 is simply a fact we have to live with, and the media treats it that way. The media reports on it.

You don't like that, you change the channel and complain about 'media bias'.

The media has not changed, it is not "in bed with the libs", you have changed. You people just want to pick and choose your reality. Well, you have sources for that, they can tell you whatever you want to hear, but they are not serving you well.


The answer to the question is, when news outlets were condensed to just a handful of outlets and purchased by international corporations that were non-news in nature and had much bigger fish to fry than simply reporting unbiased factual information.

The parent companies, the ones that control 90% of all disseminated information in the US, are GE, Viacom, Disney, Newscorp, Time-Warner and CBS.

Since it is the surest and most efficient way to enhance their bottom line, each of these parent companies are looking for politicians they can do business with, now and in the future.

For example, GE is very interested in green energy and politicians that promote it because our government has a virtually unlimited supply of money that it can print for research and implementation of programs that lead to green energy and GE is in a position to swoop up a ****-load of that money.

As far as GE is concerned, it doesn't matter if AGW is real, imagined or a little of both, as long as enough people believe that it is a big problem, getting worse and something must be done about it so that the money continues flowing in.

So when NBC opens their nightly news broadcast with images of wildfires and hurricanes while making matter of fact claims that both are caused by "climate change," it doesn't matter to GE's bottom line if that's true, somewhat true or mostly bull **** because they just want the money that climate change brings.

Republicans, those that advocate for less spending on AGW boondoggles and the like, are a problem for news outlet owning international corporations like GE because they are slightly less inclined to support the sort of fiscal irresponsibility that pumps up GE profits.

Companies like GE will remember those public servants that have done their bidding while in office by providing big money lobbying positions and do-nothing board seats to them once they are out of office.

This is done because it serves as a constant reminder to those still in office that they too will be rewarded if they do whatever their corporate overlords require, i.e., **** working Americans in the ass.

So anytime you see a news anchor rambling on about government spending huge, unprecedented sums of money to fight Covid-19, stimulate the economy or rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, understand that it is our corporate oligarchy speaking.

Anybody have a link to a 'news anchor rambling'.

I'm not talking a news talk show host whose purpose is to present their view...like a Maddow or Haninty.

Can you give me a clip where one of the news anchors rambling .....

THanks.

So both your examples are fatally flawed.


By the Trump Administration, you mean the FBI that couldn't find a crime to charge Hillary Clinton with but pursued Russia-gate for three years?

The same FBI that agreed to destroy evidence used in the Clinton investigation and simply took Crowdstrike's word for it that Russians hacked the DNC servers?

No problem with Nellie Ohr, employed by Glenn Simpson, claiming spousal privilege because her husband, Bruce Ohr, instrumental in the Russia-gate hoax, worked for the DOJ?

Would that also be an example of the Trump Administration screwing up?



WaPo not mainstream?


Responding to Cotton’s statements, the Post had written a report with an original headline from February 17, 2020, that read, “Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus conspiracy theory that was already debunked.

For sure the Left has owned the media since I was a child in the 1960's nonstop. The reasons I believe is that people that want to control people are the Left and media, they just are philosophically aligned.

Aren't all acronyms made up? Would you like it better if it was a naturally-occurring acronym that grew up out of the ground?
