So True ... The media never reported on the mom shot dead by BLM for saying that ALL LIVES MATTER. I think it is obvious that the media is pushing for a civil war. They want violence to escalate and they don't care who gets hurt. It's all about the ratings.

There was a James Bond movie where the villain was a news tycoon who wanted to start a war to boost his ratings. It seemed like that could never really happen. Now, on the other hand...

They literally don't care about ratings. The ratings just show how effective or ineffective their propaganda is.

News corporations are the tools of the billionaire class. It's a way for billionaires to dump money to propagandize the masses. I don't think it was always this way, but it's been like that for at least 100 years (yellow journalism). The newscorps don't really care about ratings because they get money infused from other sources. They DO care about advertisements, which are reflected in ratings, but even that is more on an industrial scale than any independent advertisement (which is why they shill for big pharma so hard).

Was it Tomorrow Never Dies? I remember watching that movie when I was very young and thinking how outlandish the antagonists’ motivations were. Now, it all makes sense.

It was! Me too lol. Sad that we're at the point where that seems plausible.

It seems more plausible precisely because of the movie ... that’s the idea.

1898: "All American journalism is not 'yellow', though all strictly 'up-to-date' yellow journalism is American!"

2020: "All American journalism is not 'triggering' though all strictly 'up-to-date' yellow journalism is triggering the triggerable!"

Wikipedia is far from the end-all, but it is certainly a start-many. When I try to enlighten an innocent babe in the woods, they most often refer to it. I guess I can't be that old when that was the same website the incurious or otherwise elsewhere endeavoring were using back in high school... back when Wikipedia was moderately better and back when there were still new pages to found that weren't found at their birth by strictly "up to date" journlolism. I visited a Wikipedia page I founded the other day... the book I read that inspired me to make the site was no longer even cited... that's not accumulatively helpful... Yellow Journalism had "bold layouts (with large illustrations and perhaps color), heavy reliance on unnamed sources, and unabashed self-promotion" according to the most reductionist literary analyst of all time that brought us Star Wars. "Pulitzer and Hearst are often adduced as a primary cause of the United States' entry into the Spanish–American War due to sensationalist stories or exaggerations of the terrible conditions in Cuba." Yup, the same Pulitzer whose legacy awarded Walter Duranty for covering up Stalin's genocide of the Polish people. Hearst built a castle above San Francisco and inspired the film Citizen Kane.

I thought that was the point where the James Bond movies truly jumped the shark. The "bad guys" had become progressively more ridiculous, and I thought "Scary Newspaper Narrative Creator" was the silliest most non-threatening "bad guy" so far.

Now- the producers look like Nostradamus! CNN/MSNBC/MSM are putting the exact opposite of the truth out there, taking money from foreign governments/investors and doing their bidding to encourage rioting/looting/racial hostility. Leftist-controlled MSM is very much responsible for pushing the lies that have led to our CURRENT YEAR!!! reeee state of Election Year Riots and Moral Panic over the Plandemic.

It wouldn’t even be the first time for our country that the media increased racial tension and it leading to major conflict. Hell, it’s even the same political party.

Whenever a monarchy gets fucked up the ass i get a boner.

This is a wonderful thing in my book.

Monarchy is worse than socialism . Edit: Sorry i made a mistake. MONARCHY IS THE WORST KIND OF SOCIALISM.

Looks to me like we are already in civil war. This is what civil war looks like in the modern age. It's just a slow ramp up. But it's also one sided. And not soo slow once you look at the totality of events.

Just think about all the Conservatives and Trump supporters attacked and killed in the last 4 years by Democrats. The numbers across the country are at least in the thousands. Democrats have killed more Conservatives in the last 4 years than 9/11.

Now think about how many Trump supporters attacked and killed Democrats? The answer is none...the only exceptions are cases of self defense. We've had people try to assassinate Republican senators, we've had people beat Republican senators, at their own homes no less.

How many Democrat senators have been physically attacked by Conservatives? Zero.

And think of all the other side incidences. Remember when Sarah Sanders was kicked out of a restaurant? Remember when Ted Cruz and others were having dinner and people were allowed in to harass them at their tables? They've outright discriminated against Conservatives across the country. People grabbing MAGA hats, a fast food employee assaulting a teen for wearing a MAGA hat, people car jacking a guy for saying he voted for Trump, Sandmann, and soo much more.

Has any of this happened to the left? Nope.

The only technicality that makes it not civil war, is the fact that we're not doing to the left, what the left is doing to us. It's a one sided civil war.

I beg to differ, they mailed fake bombs to themselves and shot the hard drive out of their pizza computer.

You're not wrong.

It's not being officially recognized as such, but yeah, I think we've hit the point where the formerly Cold Civil War has finally gotten hot.

Unfortunately, only one side is being allowed to fight said war right now.

When do we gather in large enough numbers to protect ourselves and begin fighting back?

I wonder if anyone is keeping a tally of those murdered by politically motivated Democrats, similar to what www.thereligionofpeace.com does to expose killer Islam.

Yeah, you are right. We are there already. Low Intensity conflict but still there. Major battles will erupt in places soon. One sided only in the fact that our side is still the government. Those vans don't drive themselves. The head is being removed.

I observe that any person defending themselves against antifa or blm gets prosecuted, cancelled, or beat up.

Rioters are encouraged by Dem & RINO politicians, celebrates, and media

If you waste antifa. Just move on. Leave the bodies where they lay.

I came here to say the exact same thing. This kid was being attacked by a mob with a molotov, skateboards, a pistol, sticks, and boots to the face. How the hell is he the problem!

Update: If anyone else comes across this. It appears that there was not a molotov. Joseph threw a brick or bottle at Kyle, and it was in plastic bag like a Walmart bag. Just want to be more factual on this.
