The Most Disreputable Institution In The Nation.

1. "The job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable."

The famous quote is about a hundred years old and can be traced to the work of Finley Peter Dunne, one of the great journalists of the day, who wrote about politics and culture in the voice and persona of an Irishman named "Mr. Dooley."


2. We mourn the death, on this date, of the man celebrated for proclaiming the importance of a free press in a free society.
John Peter Zenger, (born 1697, Germany—died July 28, 1746, New York City), New York printer and journalist whose famous acquittal in a libel suit (1735) established the first important victory for freedom of the press in the English colonies of North America.
Britannica.com

With the understanding about a free press, unchained from power, the Founders honored the concept in our first amendment.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

None of the unspoken promises of a free press apply today.


3. The media today serves the interests of the Democrat Party and the international Left….as an appendage of the DNC. Rather than news channels, we have Democrat news outlets. Not journalism….it’s politics by other means.
Anyone who can predict what a DNC press release will look like, can predict what CNN’s, the NYTimes, the WaPo reporting will look like.
Journalists???? Life-long Democrats pre-positioned in the media.

Watching the media interview a Democrat is like a member of the politburo being interviewed by a reporter from Pravda or Izvestia or Tass.

MarkTwain: If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.



4. The real irony is not how closely the media mirrors the Soviet media, it that all that is left for us, the real Americans is samizdat.

Samizdat (Russian: самизда́т, lit. "self-publishing") was a form of dissident activity across the Eastern Bloc in which individuals reproduced censored and underground makeshift publications, often by hand, and passed the documents from reader to reader. The practice of manual reproduction was widespread, due to the fact that most typewriters and printing devices were inventorized and required permission to access. This grassroots practice to evade official Soviet censorship was fraught with danger, as harsh punishments were meted out to people caught possessing or copying censored materials. Wikipedia

Vladimir Bukovsky summarized it as follows:

"Samizdat: I write it myself, edit it myself, censor it myself, publish it myself, distribute it myself, and spend time in prison for it myself."

Obviously, you are painting with too broad a brush. The WSJ and some other outlets are not propaganda arms of the DNC.

The insidious aspect of the Press is the presentation of the news as much as the reporting of it. I saw an AP article this morning stating that, "despite the President's goading, Biden declines to weigh in on the Law & Order issue." The same story could well have been headlined, "Cowardly Biden afraid to talk about..."

And in this Election Year, it is like the various Media outlets are competing to see which one can be most creative in slandering the President with apparent factual reporting. Like last time, one of the main reasons I will vote for Trump (early and often, thanks to the mail-in gambit) is to shut these bastards up, if only for a few days.

Americans of the trump persuasion don't trust the news media because the orange baby king has told his unwashed 32% mass to agree on fake news, even when what the media is saying is obviously true to anyone that saw a given event, attacking the media for his own stupidity and paranoid vision from his own little world.

Fake news is said to have been born August 9, 2014 when MSNBC, the NYTimes, CNN, the WashingtonPost and the rest of the mainstream media all colluded to propagate the fairy tale that Michael Brown, ‘the gentle giant,’ was shot by the police as he put his hands up and begged ‘don’t shoot.’

Only one journalist, Jonathan Capehart, wrote in the Washington Post....

Opinion | Standing by my opinion that ‘Hands up, don’t shoot’ was built on a lie



‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ Never Happened, But Networks Keep Using It

● Media Helped Spread ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ Theme: Broadcast networks used the phrase, “Hands up, don’t shoot,” 140 times in protest coverage discussing the Ferguson case from Aug. 9, 2014, through March 4, 2015, the date of the Justice Department report.


● Networks Perpetuate False Claim: Despite the DOJ ruling the left’s “fact” a “myth,” the networks have continued to use the meme an additional 16 times since release of the Ferguson report.


● ABC, NBC Never Admit Expression Wasn’t True: CBS called out the “Hands up, don’t shoot” falsehood in a March 4 report saying, “Despite protests” the report found there was “no credible evidence Brown had his hands upattempting to surrender.” So have CNN, The Washington Post and even The New York Times. ABC and NBC haven’t dared to address it.


● Pop-Culture Support: The false narrative has even made its way into pop culture in television shows, professional sports and music awards shows. Entertainment media have helped promote “Hands up, don’t shoot” -- from the hit show Scandal to a Pharrell Grammy performance.


Editor’s Note: Some language in this story might be deemed offensive.


The phrase “Hands up, don’t shoot,” has come to define a movement protesting alleged mistreatment of African-Americans at the hands of police. It came from a witness account of how African-American 18-year-old Michael Brown was killed by a white police officer.


ABC, NBC and CBS used the phrase -- mostly B-roll of protesters chanting -- an incredible 140 times from the day Brown was shot to the date the Department of Justice report was released. Even after the government determined the phrase had no credibility, network journalists continued to use it an additional 16 times, most recently in coverage of the Baltimore riots and during protester attacks on citizens in Cleveland following the Brelo verdict."

Oh Pol Chic,
I wonder if it’s worth considering 2 ideas that may explain the conditions you see as a wide spread left wing conspiracy to hobble the free peoples of the world. Let me suggest, that most often when it seems like an individual or group is acting out if some malice for their common man (I’m assuming you will not take offense to my use of the masculine here) that the real root of this immoral/amoral behavior tends to be greed. I would put most media outlets in this category, they are profit making machines that will allow anything else to bend or even break so long as the bottom line remain, well, the bottom line.
As for the DNC, I agree that it seems they must be up to something as much of what they are trying to accomplish appears so absurd and generally contradictory to their stated goals. Not to over simplify, but let me suggest rampant incompetence as the actual driving force. Remember, President Trump won this past election because the Dems seem to forget that the electoral college and not popular vote selects a president. The howls of “unfair” after the election all bore this out.
So to sum up, I think your seeing greed and incompetence, not some conspiracy that’s attempting to separate anyone from their freedom, their guns or their God.

What the heck is wrong with you??????

Quite a Gishs Gallop. Primarily, fake news is more often than not just thing trump would rather not hear whether true or not.

You are confused. Fake new is exactly what it sounds like. Liberal distortion of the facts if not downright lies.

I doubt the percentages are any higher than they've always been-

I'm talking about believers in whatever they believe- and, in fact, among the people I know, two are Democrat and they don't believe the media any more than I do- but, a couple of Republicans I know absolutely believe Fox news- they both make fun of the other side- truth be known, I doubt very many people actually pay attention unless it sides with their beliefs- and the instant communication allows spouting off from afar-

Here in Los Angeles, we have a newspaper that is so biased now that even its headlines are mini-editorials lambasting President Trump.

Back in the day, it was genuinely liberal. For example, the Los Angeles Times would report the cruelty of the cops toward gays. It also received a Pulitzer for a story that had the guts to describe the incredible incompetency of a hospital run by a certain ethnic minority.

I canceled my subscription more than a year ago. And a lot of other people have done so, too. Its Sunday edition (which used to be a monstrous publication with hundreds of pages) is now almost as thin as the Monday edition. I guess that the digital edition keeps it afloat -- but just barely. I have read that the staff is being cut -- again.

I agree with President Trump that most of the media are the "enemy of the people." They do not want to report the truth -- just to spew forth propaganda. One does not have to be a Nostradamus to know that the election of President Biden will be hailed by the media as the greatest event in history since the invention of sliced bread.

Americans don't trust the news media any more because it is dominate by Left Wing assholes that have no concept of reality.

Americans of the trump persuasion don't trust the news media because the orange baby king has told his unwashed 32% mass to agree on fake news, even when what the media is saying is obviously true to anyone that saw a given event, attacking the media for his own stupidity and paranoid vision from his own little world. A little over a third of the country needs deprogramming and is on the verge of drinking the poison kool-aide.

Can you really be this much of a moron??????

Fake news is said to have been born August 9, 2014 when MSNBC, the NYTimes, CNN, the WashingtonPost and the rest of the mainstream media all colluded to propagate the fairy tale that Michael Brown, ‘the gentle giant,’ was shot by the police as he put his hands up and begged ‘don’t shoot.’

Only one journalist, Jonathan Capehart, wrote in the Washington Post....


"Standing by my opinion that ‘Hands up, don’t shoot’ was built on a lie"
Opinion | Standing by my opinion that ‘Hands up, don’t shoot’ was built on a lie



‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ Never Happened, But Networks Keep Using It

● Media Helped Spread ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ Theme: Broadcast networks used the phrase, “Hands up, don’t shoot,” 140 times in protest coverage discussing the Ferguson case from Aug. 9, 2014, through March 4, 2015, the date of the Justice Department report.


● Networks Perpetuate False Claim: Despite the DOJ ruling the left’s “fact” a “myth,” the networks have continued to use the meme an additional 16 times since release of the Ferguson report.


● ABC, NBC Never Admit Expression Wasn’t True: CBS called out the “Hands up, don’t shoot” falsehood in a March 4 report saying, “Despite protests” the report found there was “no credible evidence Brown had his hands upattempting to surrender.” So have CNN, The Washington Post and even The New York Times. ABC and NBC haven’t dared to address it.


● Pop-Culture Support: The false narrative has even made its way into pop culture in television shows, professional sports and music awards shows. Entertainment media have helped promote “Hands up, don’t shoot” -- from the hit show Scandal to a Pharrell Grammy performance.


Editor’s Note: Some language in this story might be deemed offensive.


The phrase “Hands up, don’t shoot,” has come to define a movement protesting alleged mistreatment of African-Americans at the hands of police. It came from a witness account of how African-American 18-year-old Michael Brown was killed by a white police officer.


ABC, NBC and CBS used the phrase -- mostly B-roll of protesters chanting -- an incredible 140 times from the day Brown was shot to the date the Department of Justice report was released. Even after the government determined the phrase had no credibility, network journalists continued to use it an additional 16 times, most recently in coverage of the Baltimore riots and during protester attacks on citizens in Cleveland following the Brelo verdict."

What the heck is wrong with you??????

Oh Pol Chic,
I wonder if it’s worth considering 2 ideas that may explain the conditions you see as a wide spread left wing conspiracy to hobble the free peoples of the world. Let me suggest, that most often when it seems like an individual or group is acting out if some malice for their common man (I’m assuming you will not take offense to my use of the masculine here) that the real root of this immoral/amoral behavior tends to be greed. I would put most media outlets in this category, they are profit making machines that will allow anything else to bend or even break so long as the bottom line remain, well, the bottom line.
As for the DNC, I agree that it seems they must be up to something as much of what they are trying to accomplish appears so absurd and generally contradictory to their stated goals. Not to over simplify, but let me suggest rampant incompetence as the actual driving force. Remember, President Trump won this past election because the Dems seem to forget that the electoral college and not popular vote selects a president. The howls of “unfair” after the election all bore this out.
So to sum up, I think your seeing greed and incompetence, not some conspiracy that’s attempting to separate anyone from their freedom, their guns or their God.

"I wonder if it’s worth considering 2 ideas that may explain the conditions you see as a wide spread left wing conspiracy..."

Are you disputing the ownership of the media by the Democrats/Leftists/Progressives???


Last time I put you in your place, you ran and hid.

Might be a good idea to take the same tack now.

Back in the day.......lots was different.

There was an American party called 'Democrats.'

No more.

5. State journalism is not journalism….it is propaganda….as when journalists sent their articles to the Democrats for final edit before they print them, coordinating questions for a debate, and allowing the DNC to read and censor before publication.



And that is exactly what happens.



"But if you’re a Politico or New York Times scribe or CNBC anchor John Harwood and hacked emails emerge that reveal you outright colluding with Hillary Clinton campaign—by giving advice or providing the communications director “veto” power over what to include from your interview with the candidate or allowing campaign chair John Podesta veto power over your stories—that is another matter.

Your media friends will not censure you or even scold you—in fact, they don’t bother to contact you directly. Instead, you can hide between a crafty spokesman who won’t even answer specific questions but acts like he’s the publicist for some elusive Hollywood star and that a journalist determined to ask standard pointed questions is actually pining to profile him for Vanity Fair.

That was essentially the response from Politico spokesman Brad Dayspring when this columnist asked to interview reporter Glenn Thrush about his newly revealed emails. Dream on, he replied, emailing me: “I want to play third base for the Yankees.”

Hacked emails reveal that Thrush has apologized to campaign chairman John Podesta for writing a “shitty” story that embarrassed the operation. In another email, Thrush called himself a “hack” and promised to let Podesta approve parts of his story on the campaign’s fundraising efforts.

“No worries Because I have become a hack I will send u the whole section that pertains to u,” he wrote. “Please don’t share or tell anyone I did this Tell me if I fucked up anything.”

No Consequences From Media Peers for Reporters Caught Colluding With Hillary

Colleagues yawn while star reporters like Thrush and Leibovich cooperate with Clinton campaign
