That's all true. The media is the propaganda arm of the democratic party.

The 4th Estate is literally dead. They've abandoned all semblance of journalistic integrity.

Never trust any news story unless it is verified and attributed.

The FakeNews is non-partisan- both sides use it to sway opinion and manufacture consent for their corporate and political masters.

That’s not true. Do you consider Hannity “news?” Do you consider Fox and Friends “news?” Do you consider Rush Limbaugh “news?”

I certainly don’t consider Rachel Maddow, Stephanie Miller, or Thom Hartmann “news.”

 

[Toro]

That's what demagogues do.

Example of a brainwash ^^^, in TC's case she got a discount, they only needed to provide a rinse.

 

[S.J.]

Their credibility is dwindling by the day with each fake news story they try to thrust upon the American people. They're rapidly becoming a joke.

So what conservative leaning news source do you consider acceptable?

The media in theory is awesome. A way to find out what the truth is. But in practice, it falls far short of the promise. It becomes a tool of propaganda.

It has been commented on time and time again. When Reagan and Bush were President, every holiday season the homeless were trampled by Reporters who rushed out to show these poor people living in cardboard boxes or under bridges. The first homeless person to die every year from the cold was a national news story. Then Clinton was elected, and the news stories about the homeless evaporated. Suddenly, it would appear that the homeless problem had been solved. Thank God. But it had’t changed. The problem still existed, but the media didn’t care anymore, they never did, they just wanted to use the homeless as a cudgel to bash Reagan and Bush.

The Homeless were back in the news, but not as much when W. was elected. And again vanished when Obama was in the Oval Office.

That’s the problem when the Media has an agenda. The media themselves decide what is “newsworthy”. If they don’t want to talk about it, then it isn’t newsworthy. No matter what is going on, it isn’t newsworthy.

In principle, the media would be awesome. In practice, their bias and agenda make their reporting not just questionable, but frankly little more than propaganda. So why should they be trusted? Why should we have faith in an institution that not only ignores any appearance of impropriety, but laughs when they are caught, and even lies.

We had no idea Matt Lauer was like that. Only they held a Roast, where everyone was talking about it, in public. We had no idea that this Congressman was acting badly. Of course not, the Congressman was the right party.

Think of it this way. If a Republican had to hire a Forensic Accountant to figure out how much back taxes he owed, then that Republican would be forced to resign. A Democrat? Not so much. Hey mistakes happen. He’s going to make it good, what is the problem?

Right. Purest indoctrination now. Three big fake news stories just in one week! All three exposed. The false one about Trump contacting Russia during his campaign crashed the Dow more than 300 points! So it's dangerous, too.

I've been frantically trying to find good news sites for a year now --- still can't. The Washington Post started trying hard to do it right after the election, but then crashed totally into the purest far-left propaganda. I unsubscribed.

The Washington Times is good (just don't bother with all the anti-abortion stuff) and the Wall Street Journal is at least better than it was during the election year!! It would be hard not to be better than that. We read it, but not the columnists, who are still pretty left. They got rid of the worst.

The media presumes to dictate morality to the American people. They have failed miserably, especially when people began to question their authority to do so.

The disconnect became apparent with Trump's victory and is becoming more and more apparent in its wake.

I can say it, but I understand it. BTW, active listeners can smell bullshit from the Internet and the TV. One clue is the use the use of euphemisms and dysphemisms, another is the source of the news story and the evidence provided.

The best advice is this: Don't watch their lips, watch their feet. Example:

www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2017/11/14/do-you-think-roy-moore-is-a-creep-who-did-the-deeds/

Yep, that Rush who goes to visit counties with young girls and little blue pills in his carry-on.

Once a lying story has been proved false, the media comes right back with another lie.

Why does somehing have to lean conservative or liberal for you to watch it? Maybe try thinking for yourself sometime.
