The media isn't leftist

[Jessica123]

Anyone that says it is leftist doesn't understand what is a leftist.

Left, In politics, the portion of the political spectrum associated in general with egalitarianism and popular or state control of the major institutions of political and economic life. The term dates from the 1790s, when in the French revolutionary parliament the socialist representatives sat to the presiding officer’s left. Leftists tend to be hostile to the interests of traditional elites, including the wealthy and members of the aristocracy, and to favour the interests of the working class (see proletariat).

Does the media care about the working class or does it care about the fucking elites and wealthy? It seems that they don't give two shits about the American working man or women. So how the fuck can they be leftist? No my friend, they're elitist and controlled by the rich.

We trend to stand by the common man. Do you think our trade policies the last 40 years the media has rooted for is leftist? Fuck no. Selling out for cheap third world labor is leftist against the working American worker? Fuck no. Not leftist.

So stop calling the goddamn media leftist. If anything it is part of the right wing elite power structure if you were to consider traditional european right wing model of things. They seek to make the rich richer and take back all gains the workers had gained in the 20th century.

Just something to think about.

The media is all about cheap third world labor replacing the American worker. That isn't what the left historical defended. Who really benefits the elites do!

The Media has gone from Left to Hate without a pause.

Same tactic as trump calling the media fake news. If you don’t trust the media then trump can get away with whatever. It’s a witch hunt by the liberal media.

And the media was taken over when stupid Bill Clinton deregulated the media in 1996. Bad bill Bill. As bad as nafta to use liberals. It meant the rich could buy up all the media and sensor the news.

Before this the corporate side was purposely kept away from the news. The news shouldn’t care who their sponsors are.

The republicans/rich needed to take over the media before they lied us into iraq

Its funny but the truth as far as I can tell.

Both the left, the right, the corporate media, the establishment, all of it, stands against the American people and classical liberalism.

"Classical liberals argued for what they called a minimal state, limited to the following functions:

• A government to protect individual rights and to provide services that cannot be provided in a free market.
• A common national defense to provide protection against foreign invaders.[18]
• Laws to provide protection for citizens from wrongs committed against them by other citizens, which included protection of private property, enforcement of contracts and common law.
• Building and maintaining public institutions.
• Public works that included a stable currency, standard weights and measures and building and upkeep of roads, canals, harbors, railways, communications and postal services.[19]

They asserted that rights are of a negative nature, which require other individuals (and governments) to refrain from interfering with the free market, opposing social liberals who assert that individuals have positive rights, such as the right to vote, the right to an education, the right to health care and the right to a living wage. For society to guarantee positive rights, it requires taxation over and above the minimum needed to enforce negative rights.[20][21]


Core beliefs of classical liberals did not necessarily include democracy or government by a majority vote by citizens because "there is nothing in the bare idea of majority rule to show that majorities will always respect the rights of property or maintain rule of law".[22] For example, James Madison argued for a constitutional republic with protections for individual liberty over a pure democracy, reasoning that in a pure democracy a "common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole...and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party".[23]"

IOW. . .

If you want the people to be in charge, you need a system of electing representatives that forces them to represent the people.

Proportional Representation is the closest you'll get, and is much more democratic than FPTP.
