It is a struggle. It takes time and effort from the brain waves just to AVOID the sociopathic Realtor crapaciousness that is 95 percent of the current 'journalism'.

From the RCP ministry of propaganda... Don't forget Kids, if you're a journalist and get a scoop on a news story the rest of the MSN ignored, then the Fact Checking Propaganda apparatus, says it never happened and is fake news. In other words, if Jim Acosta didn't report it, then it's a lie.

Yeah like
Democrat source- 1000 law professors say Trump is guilty of Treason and should be impeached.
Republican source- House Republicans call for Trump to tone down his rhetoric.
14   🎂 Tenpoundbass   2020 May 10, 12:12pm  

I like sources that report on both parties equally. They report the good Democrats do and they'll report the bad Republicans do.
Just like they report the good the Republicans do and the Bad the Democrats do.

What made Drudge Great at what he did, he would link to the same other sources, RCP would But he would put truth in his Link Titles. Even if the intent of the original story was to put a false spin on it and paint the intention as some noble cause. Those that took offense by Drudge's link wording, could at least do their own research and find out Drudge was 100% about what he said, even if the article was trying to go the other way with it.

I'm sure Drudge got a nice payday, and probably felt slighted that zero action was ever taken by the FCC to stop the unfair censoring, black listing, harassing, and attempts to de-person Conservative bloggers, reporters, and pro truth websites. If he was frustrated on that front, I don't blame him in the least little bit. And Trump should reflect on the inaction he's tolerated against those that trounced the 1st amendment and discriminated against political beliefs, will be his greatest failing. Regardless what else he accomplishes.

I like Takimag for commentary.
There is also a Kurdish underwater basket weaving forum that has pretty good leading edge info... But that place gets a lot of disinfo and shilling because it too is a free speech site but less-so moderated. So you learn to spot lies and misrepresentation as a side-effect.

Trump was elected because of liberal elitist outsourcing of manufacturing to China and insourcing of tens of millions of illegals.

Of course liberal elitists are going to accuse him of not reading.

Their ability to profit from the suffering of working people all depends on their elite status, meaning their status as "well read".

Trump threatens their status. Thus they hate him.

But working people love him, because he is their only hope.

I thought it was becasue Obama was black.

Gullible people love Trump. We need more news sources that will promote Trumps lies more energetically.

Only Trump can make America great again.



We need the kind of media that will help us worry 24/7 about the President having too much power when it's a raving commie liberal like Obama, but will ignore this kind of stuff when a true selfless patriot like Trump is at the helm.

24   Patrick   2020 May 16, 12:48pm  

You thought wrong. But that's not surprising, because the media told you to think that.

Everyone obsessed with race is on the political left, and they are heavily funded to keep dividing us with that obsession, so that outsourcing to China and insourcing illegals can continue to generate big profits for big political donors at the expense of ordinary people.
25   marcus   2020 May 16, 12:50pm

Yeah, the media told me that oversight of a reckless leader was a thing.

I guess the media also told me that the environment doesn't matter, and that the swamp can only be cleaned by putting corporate titans in charge of government agencies such as the EPA.

I'm not in favor of communism, but the stuff Trump does is likely to cause a strong reaction in the other direction. I guess you can say I told you so then.

Only if given half a fair shake.

Jim Webb was completely sidelined in 2016, for example. The Media would make mincemeat of him if he had any national standing and certainly would have done so if he got any traction (which they prevented by never tossing any questions at him).

Trump has the track record of manipulating/goading the media to get the message out, which is a requirement for victory.

What is needed is a parallel Media, the basis of which can be regular Americans and Evangelicals.

I'm stunned that 1 in 5 Americans is a White Evangelical, but almost nothing, nothing, is targeted for them. The rare times you see an open Christian Character on a TV Show, it's usually some stupid ass stereotype of a bigoted gossipy woman or some shit.

True. Trump figured out how to get unlimited free publicity from the mainstream media by giving them such conniptions that they could not help but to keep him in the headlines. Sure, it was all negative because ORANGE MAN BAD, but there is no such thing as bad publicity.

So TDS in the media was actually one main driver behind Trump's election. The irony is delicious.

Agreed. There are a million small websites like this one, but we also need national newspapers with high journalistic standards, and TV networks. Fox News doesn't cut it, being low quality.

Note the outright lie in showing tape over their mouths when they were not prevented from speaking in any way.
35   marcus   2020 May 16, 3:10pm  

:
It's a cartoon. I didn't read the tape as making any particular statement about whether they were allowed to speak. Funny what you do choose to label as a lie, versus all the very real and actual lies you seem to ignore.

There is a message implied in my view of that cartoon, that you better be pretty fucking careful about any oversight of the President. Anything that he or his people see as critical of him could lead to being fired. Even though that kind of criticism is an important part of their job description.

Not sure whether Trump cultists even know what the function of oversight (that of an inspector general) is.

What is it, you think Trump is just trying to look super corrupt to trigger the liberals ?

Many voters, like most of Ohio, went for Obama twice, but you claim racism because they did not vote for the white woman instead of Trump. I cannot read tone from your comment, so I do not know if you are being facetious or incredibly overcome by TDS.

Watch “Rising” on Hill TV on YouTube. That show has the best bipartisan and pro-people views and scoop coverage on the entire internet right now.
