The power of the media to manipulate liberals, with Matt Taibbi.

[the other mike]

Since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, a lot has changed. Matt Taibbi is here to explain how the left is , unwittingly it appears, doing the bidding of the deep state and being controlled by the MSM.

Now they have us concerned about the Russia- Ukraine border, while 10's of thousands of unemployed Haitians pour across ours.

Brings up an interesting questions that can be narrowed down to a specifc case.

Is Maddow running the government or is the government running her, but it deserves watching how that deveolps?
It's really starting to look like the latter.

Everyone hates getting their favorite issue getting kicked off the headlines.

They are not manipulating people who are liberal.

They are manipulating people by turning them into leftists who aren't liberal at all.

In that respect they keep us all easily divided among each other - ( the only way they can succeed) Either way it's authoritarian, which leads to you-know -what. read Nunes - 'Countdown to Socialism'.

It is definitely authoritarian, beyond any shadow of a doubt.

Actual liberalism is not an authoritarian ideology, though.

John Stuart Mill, John Rawls et al, OPPOSED authoritarianism.

The original American liberals who wanted to stay out of WW1 right ? Or the ones who opposed the Nazis in Germany, who we mostly wiped out. That's why they booted Patten - called him a commie....

Did you know the Wright brothers ( one in particular but I'm not sure if it was Wilber or Orville ) were pissed that their invention was so quickly weaponized. ? I'll have to refresh my memory on that. Einstein was fairly liberal ...or we could go back to Galileo even, who was imprisoned by the church for saying the earth revolves around the sun.

For me it seems the media is working to making more conservatives/idiots with their subliminal messages.

There's nothing subliminal about lies.
Most of them are obvious to those of us who remember how to actually think for ourselves and put 2 and 2 together to still equal 4. What about you ?

2+2 be fore. This what I figured you would deduce.

What else do you 'deduce' ( a word that hasn't been used since 1964) from lurking through the thread ?
