we lied to you for four years

They've always been lying. Most of us just didn't know it until recently.

I told my Dad (who still watches the news so is a never-Trumper) "If you found out an employee had been lying to you in all his reports going back years, would you trust anything this person says anymore? Or would you fire them? Why do billionaires and corporations buy media companies? They're just using a name which used to stand for something to peddle bullshit misinformation." Watching the news at night is just something he has always done so its a "what else would I do?" thing it seems like...

“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast.” -- Gen. W.T. Sherman

I was a newpaper editor in college, and I still remember when the first issue I worked on came out. All I could think was "holy shit, anybody can write these words down and people will think they're legit". I was just a college student, but people were reading me like some kind of impartial authority.

The only real difference between a newspaper editor and a random internet commenter is their budget.

My father-in-law is super conservative, but he gets his information from the nightly news so he’s super anti trump and super paranoid about coronavirus and is going to vote for Biden. It’s so fucking stupid. This man is a straight white male doesn’t support gay marriage, and doesn’t believe in hand-outs, gonna vote for a democrat because the nightly news says Trump is a RACIST

They incorrectly believe they will be able to vote for a Republican next time around. They are mistaken. If the left gains power, this time they will never relinquish it.

I’ve come to realize how stupid and how many want the status quo. Finally get someone in there that’s not a career politician and globalist whore enriching themselves off taxpayers while being slaves to lobbyists and what happens? Many pine for more career politicians because corporate media tells them to.

Our nation is ruled by propaganda and incredibly dumb.

Absolutely kills me. Dems thrive on emotional bullshit and slander. How the hell could a conservative vote for the party of abortion, the party who wants to replace you with the third world, take your money, trash your country, destroy your cities, blame cops and be apologists for criminals, be puppets to China, and slurp up the same shit Hollywood and corporate media feed you?

PeytonManThing 3 points ago +3 / -0

They successfully sell people like Biden, and somehow Obama, as “moderates” and for the general election they pretend that the leftists that control the party are fringe or not even real (mostly peaceful protests. What rioting? What burning? None of this is happening. Other gas lighting). They never mentioned the riots at the DNC. They tell you it’s immoral to even listen to the other side, or train you to hate the other side too much to actually listen. It’s a whole campaign of tactics.

gonna vote for a democrat because the nightly news says Trump is a RACIST

Have you shown him Biden saying he didn't want to de-segregate schools because he doesn't want his fuck up dumb children growing up in a racial jungle? What does he think about that?

1
PeytonManThing 1 point ago +1 / -0

No I haven’t. I don’t argue with him, and he doesn’t discuss politics much either. But he is super socially conservative. He doesn’t say who he voted for explicitly but it’s clear he’s a republican but he hates Trump and will vote Biden because he thinks Biden is a “good guy.”

Newspapers and news channels cannot survive without money. They become slaves to advertisers and those who fund them. There’s also an incestuous relationship with our media and the Democrat Party, which obviously shows a conflict of interest.

I worked in this field for years and it kills me to see people believe it and not question the brainwashing that occurs. It’s not even just political news. It’s sports. It’s entertainment. Those reviews you read by critics? That’s paid for as well. Writers are whores.

The "news" has always lied. The modern turn came when the "esteemed" Walter Cronkite looked straight in America's eyes and lied through his teeth about the Tet Offensive. An unmitigated victory for the United States was turned into a bone crushing loss by good old Walter. For your own good of course.

They always throw in obscure symbols or hidden meanings or some sort of blatancy because in their minds, it's part of the message of whatever they're telling you, and in that way the reader "consents" to all that they're doing, because they can go "Well i told you what we were doing and you didn't come and do anything about it!", much like the way the devil makes barters.

It is what made me a supporter. I was skeptical but thought he was better than Hillary. Then he actually didn't start a new war, and he gained my trust.

Yeah. And getting North Korea to pledge to officially end the Korean War. And getting UAE to recognize and start relationships with Israel. And getting Serbia and Kosovo to trade. This is all ASTONISHING!

Especially North Korea. Their whole dictatorship and leverage over their people comes from continued messaging that they're at war with the evil USA, led by Fearless Leader, even as we had long since moved on. I was traveling when that news broke, and I remember standing in the lobby of a hotel with the news on. It made me tear up. What had it been, 60 years? 60 years to take that step! And no hope for improving the outlook of North Koreans until that domino fell. And Trump did it.

NK had a good scam going for a long time - round boy's father would spend all of the country's money on palaces and uniforms, and when his people started to sharpen sticks to plunge them into party officer's backs, he'd rattle his sword and launch a missile or shoot down a US plane, and the world would throw money at him to keep him quiet. Bush, Clinton, Obama, they all fell for it. His son picked up right where he left off, he was trained at his father's knee.

Then Trump comes along. Yeah, homey don't play that. China learned that, too.

Democrats, and even some non-Democrats, absolutely love the lies. They love anything that confirms their feelings and beliefs and don't care whether it is true or not. Anything that confirms their feels is accepted as fact unquestioningly and they will reject any attempts to disprove or debunk it. I've been following Democrats for years on social media and even if someone, typically another Democrat friend, manages to convince them that BS story or quote they shared is false, they use mental gymnastics to assert that it "might as well be true", or "I could still imagine them saying something like that".

It boggles my MIND that the regular leftist believes everything the media says like its gospel. Never questions the motives or propaganda. Remember when radical leftie Noam Chomsky said the media manufactures consent and is filled with nothing but lies? There was a time democrats might have agreed but now they never dare question their mainstream media handlers.

3
TD_Covfefe_Crusader 3 points ago +3 / -0

Not only do they believe the leftist propaganda unquestioningly, in the rare cases where the misleadia makes a positive or even neutral statement about something contrary to the leftist narrative, they immediately accuse the misleadia of peddling right wing propaganda.

Case in point, our local Democrat controlled newspaper recently reported on the opposing BLM and patriot rallies we have had here in my town over the last few weeks. They described the most recent patriot rally as a "pro-America rally featuring banners in support of local law enforcement and U.S. President Donald Trump". The local Democrats REEEEEEEEEEEed on social media about the newspaper referring to the rally as "pro-America" despite the fact that it was billed as exactly that in the flyers and postings advertising it, and there were pro-America signs and American flags in abundance.

These useful idiots don't want to see or hear anything that conflicts with their feels. They can't stand it.

My aunt has a neighbor like that. 50-something, claims to be a lesbian but nobody has ever seen her with anyone, about 4 foot tall and 5 foot wide. She goes around all day cackling and oinking about the latest media lies, and makes awful gargling sounds laughing. I've heard she just posts this shit all day on Facebook, and when it's disproven, just spams the next one. My skin crawls just remembering her relentless "Da shrub is going down gargle gargle gargle." back during Bush's presidency.

Yep, I follow quite a few Democrats on social media that post TDS Fake News every day. The most extreme case of TDS I've ever seen is this old Democrat guy followed by some of the local Democrats on Facebook. This guy has 0bama as his profile pic and posts barely intelligible Orange Man Bad rantings in all caps all day long. He only posts TDS he probably averages about 30 posts a day. The guy is clearly insane, yet he has almost 5K followers on Facebook.

I can just imagine this old geezer plopped in a chair from sunrise to late in the evening watching ☪️NN and MSDNC with NPR on in the background, reading every anti-Trump article he can find online and sharing it on his page along with his all caps rage commentary.

No, they actually can't "just tell you" who their sources are. They probably don't exist and, if they do, they'd be sued for slander if they revealed who they are.

What's funny is that al-Zarqawi, the guy that eventually started AQI, (precursor to ISIS) could have been killed in Eastern Iraq before 1 troop set foot on Iraqi soil.

Cheney, Scooter Libby, and others, told the CIA that they wanted to tie him to Saddam and Al Qaeda.

There needs to be an Old Guard Soldier standing next to the podium during White House press conferences. (The ones that walk the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier and firmly put foreign tourists and other yahoos in their place during ceremonies)

When these "journalists" cut off Kaleigh or the President, being rude and combative as has become the norm from the MSM... they (Press Secretary and POTUS) need to stop speaking, step back and let The Old Guard Soldier, "off the chain", so to speak.

Old Guard Soldier, moving forward at quick march pace stopping at six feet away, rifle at port arms, "YOU WILL BE SILENT UNTIL CALLED UPON!!!"

Time to take these commie bastards back to school and teach them about respecting the office even if you do not respect the person holding it.

I don’t think there are any new unnamed sources and I don’t think there’s any new scandal. This is a stupid marketing trick to re-hash the John McCain comments that were supposedly made. All they did was re-word it. “Trump called John McCain is a loser” became “Trump calls dead veterans losers”. Technically both sentences are the same thing.

Unfortunately there is a large segment of our population who doesn't care. They've bought into this whole notion that Trump is bad, and so any means of beating him is acceptable, even being lied to. It's the same as the people who tolerate the violence in their cities, rolling blackouts in California, and gross double standards in COVID policy.

This is why I am not buying into a Trump landslide. A large segment of our population accept poor conditions to enable the elites.
