White House Correspondent Dinner Celebrates Freedom Of Speech While Destroying Ours

[mudwhistle]

Actually, most of the people that buy the media's bullshit are mentally deficient. They actually feel that a bunch of snobbish, stuck up media elitists that will be most likely be protesting like communists today on May Day, better represent the American public.

Well, of course. There are many people, what, 90% or more of the population who get fed their news. They don't want to have to think about it. When they do think about it, they're in outrage, more than likely because they don't understand the issue because they only read the headline and first paragraph.

This isn't the fault of the media. It's the fault of the people. But the very same people can NEVER, EVER be wrong. So they'll put the blame where they want to put it, which isn't at their feet. And when Trump comes along and tells them "it's not your fault, it's the fault of the media", they're all too willing to agree with him.

The media is good at creating false impressions. Like implying that the review of past presidential land grabs is wrong or dangerous to the environment. Millions of acres of land put off limits by Democrat presidents just to prevent it's use by the people of this country. That's the big push right now.
Trump is evil and hates nature (bullshit)
Trump is attacking the media unfairly (bullshit)
Trump refuses to work with congress (double bullshit)
Trump can only blame himself for hatred by the media (5 Pinocchios)

Okay, and? They state their story the way they want to state it. Who's fault is it if they get the wrong impression? Yes, it's the person who READ the thing and didn't see it for what it was.

The fault of the person who wrote the misleading article. That's who.

What's wrong with writing misleading articles?
It's dishonest for one thing.

Is it? Is having a different opinion on something dishonest? If it were full of lies, then yes, but if it's just a matter of opinion, then no.

People can get their information from many sources, and they can use their brains to see whether it's right or wrong, but they don't. They sit back, read something and say "oh, it must be right" and then just accept.

Why do you think we have right and left wing press? We have it because people want opinionated news, they want news that tells them what they want to hear. The whole media is full of it, because this is what the people actually WANT.

Then they blame others for it.

Opinions aren't lies?
Bush's opinion was that Saddam had WMDs then.
