Conservatives build their own media ecosystem.

1) Thus an alternative to Liberal Media is needed more then ever -- even if the alternative is not perfect.

The mainstream media bias is slight - 7% for most outlets. But the news is generally modern ideas overcoming the objectives of conservatism. That is how society advances. Today's Republican Party is trying to go backwards and retain economic ideas which are proven losers for the economy, but big time winners for the billionaires who own right wing media.

These 15 Billionaires Own America's News Media Companies

While a billionaire secretly funding a lawsuit to take down a news outlet may be a new way of using money to influence the media business, billionaires have long exerted influence on the news simply by owning U.S. media outlets.

Index of US Mainstream Media Ownership

Our goal is to provide radical transparency and a better grasp of the U.S. Mainstream Media by listing publishers (owners, majority voting shareholders, and donors of titles) considered major US daily news sources. We have time-stamped this index – May 11, 2021. To give the index structure, we...

Liberalism gave you an automobile that working people could afford. Conservatism said "Cars will destroy our economy! Get a horse". Think of all of the blacksmiths and stable hands who will be put out of work when people get rid of their horses. What of the buggy makers, and the wheelrights!!!! What happens when they run out of fuel and no gas stations exist?

Now you look back and say that Henry Ford's assembly line revolutionized manufacturing, and the Model T revolutionized transportation. And yet today, conservatives are making the same arguments over electric cars and the fossil fuel industry.

There are billions of dollars to be made in upgrading your infrastructure, and converting to clean energy. Jobs and exports, and a better planet. But American Conservatives oppose all of it. Just like they opposed Henry Ford and his Model T.

No kidding.

AOC is right, onward to our glorious communist future!!!

You're right, we don't need modern nuclear reactors, we need windmills.

I agree With Democrats on some issues and with Republicans on other issues.

LOLOL..................

^ Nervous breakdown?

I live in a concentrated conserv area wrapped around another conservative area. Anything libturd nonsense is stopped in the outer band

^ Makes little if any sense.

We only want happy well adjusted people in our club. Anything else is considered a cancer and will be aggressively cut out

See above.

You need to worry about yourself son, not me if you respond like that

See above.

We won't know about that until it's been attempted. Trump's organization is looking to do just that. It will be interesting to watch the wailing and hyperventilating of the Left as his platform begins to go live. They cannot STAND alternative views or competing narratives. My guess is they try to criminalize it if they can't shout it down.

I don’t think they care.

I don’t think they care.

ANYWAY to keep Trump liars and bullies out of our political system is a great thing for America

How does this scheme sound to you?

I hear it's being looked at by the SEC. Is it legit? Will it fly?

Yesterday we discussed the $1 billion private investment that Trump Media & Technology Group is planning to raise from investors when it merges with Digital World Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company that is taking TMTG public. The basic point was that, in this $1 billion PIPE (private investment in public equity) investment, TMTG will sell stock to hedge funds for $1 billion, at a 40% discount to the trading price of the stock. The hedge funds will then immediately turn around and sell that stock to public retail investors, very much not at a discount. So the hedge funds will get an instant 67% return (buy at $24, sell at $40, etc.) at the closing of the merger, as a reward for committing money to Trump now. If the stock is below $16.67 at closing they will not get that return, and if it’s below $10 they’ll lose money. The stock closed at $43.81 yesterday and is up today, so it’s a decent bet that it will be above $10 when the deal closes, but it’s a weird company and a lot could go wrong.

Mac1958 What a load of crap. You just hate it that the Left ONLY controls 95% of all information in America.

 

[Mac1958]

And so I ask, who's fault is this? Is it those who decided to not have different views when it had the whole system? Or rather those who created a new system when they could not get their views out on the system that was in place?

In my opinion, tis better to allow all views and let people discard what they want to, then try and suppress views that are in YOUR opinion, radical, or against what you wish.

It is obvious you can not change minds if all you have is an echo chamber. I suggest, that the more you hear, the better informed you are. Doesn't mean you are going to be persuaded, just means you get both ends of the spectrum, and everything else in-between.

Tech companies have done this, no matter which side of the aisle you reside on. I would rather listen to both sides on one platform, then draw my own conclusions from 2, 3, or 4 platforms. It appears that is NOT going to happen. Who is to blame? I will let all of you draw your own conclusions, but truth be told, the GOP NEVER threw a Socialist under the bus and had them/tried to have them, deplatformed!

What are they afraid of? Who knows, but it appears they are scared to death.

Ok, it's all the commies' fault.

 

[Mac1958]

It's what liberals want - along with civil war apparently - so it's what's happened.

And it IS a shame, and people like you are very much a part of the cause, faux-independence and all.

Yes, it's all the commies' fault.

Yes, it's all the commies' fault.

Real money is at stake, but you wouldn't know it from a shoddy "investor presentation" for Trump Media & Technology Group.

From the piece:

The oddest part of the TMTG presentation is the “technology team” listed on Slide 21. The company has apparently filled 30 important jobs already, but it only lists these team members with a first name and last initial. The chief technology officer is “Josh A.” “Steve E.” is VP of engineering. One of the senior mobile developers is “BJ.” Are these real people or stand-ins? We may never know: As a footnote explains: “personnel subject to change.”



No shit.

Well what do you people want then? "Censorship" in the media mostly targets racism and calls to violence. Therefore we have to assume the right wants some way to be racist and violent without having to deal with the inevitable blowback. Not sure how that's supposed to work.

The Left is losing control and they can't handle it. Rather like an abusive spouse whose wife has grown a backbone, no longer cares at all and is ready to leave.

That's right, Leftists. Cry, whine, beg, rail, plead, whatever. America either takes a sharp right turn or we are done. We're like, bags packed by the door, friend's on the way to pick us up done. I don't think you even realize.

Censorship in the media means we don't even know how many people have died from the vaccines.

The fact that this offends you says something, too.
