Media Matters

[Irish#1]

Whether you think it's BS or not, you have to wonder why the media hasn't touched this. If it is BS, here's the prefect opportunity to put the sledgehammer to Trump and the GOP.

Tulsi Gabbard torches 'complicit' liberal media for ignoring DNI findings on Russia probe

DNI Tulsi Gabbard claimed the mainstream media is ignoring a declassified report on the Obama administration's Russia collusion hoax due to complicity in promoting unvetted information.

Because their viewers couldn't care less if it's true. They just want to be told what they already believe. And they can't tell the difference.

Do we really have to wonder? They were in on the narrative the first go around. They all know what they’re doing (trying to do).

Of those fake accounts, how many are lefties and how many are righties?

Left or Right? How about from which countries, China, Russia, Iran, etc.?

The AP was begging Hezbollah for a sob story? Color me surprised

Is this satire?

I saw several clips where different people were trying to create a "Trump is sick" scenario. He did a couple of interviews during that time.

When it's a slow news week and you can't find something to turn into a controversy I guess you have to invent your own.

I know the title says parody, but it's really hard to tell...

 

[drayer54]

Media making this about republican outrage (after finally covering it) and cameras exposing reality, rather than frequent flier criminal killing innocent woman. Amazing.

 

[Bishop2b5]

Most of our media is a flaming pile of biased horseshit. They shill for everything woke and left. Not a shred of journalistic integrity left in them.

Serious question did y'all actually trust any news source? I never have I firmly believe every news source spins shit to fit the narrative. The right leaning media is just as guilty as the left. There's a reason the saying "don't trust, verify" exists

Not a lot of trustworthy people on either side. Most sources are biased in this day and age. Stirring up drama sells, so they all put clickbait headlines out or they will include only details that support their narratives and leave out the rest. As far as least biased sources, Reuters is still pretty good. BBC isn't usually bad. Forbes is typically okay too. There's smaller groups that call it down the middle or provide just the facts, but they don't have the following yet.

I'll be honest I've hardly watched the "news" I grew up in a fox news house, and was a huge fan of Tucker, Beck, and most others when I was younger. Once I started fact checking and realizing how they and every other "journalist" operated I lost respect for most in the field.

I fully agree on the typical decent sources. Bbc and Reuters have long been my jumping off point

You and I probably aren't the problem. The problem is that half the country DOES trust their favorite news source and swallows whole every word of propaganda fed to them without a speck of critical thinking.

I was just genuinely curious. I despise the media in both directions and I think both sides are guilty of the same things.

And i was asking from the sense that I'm a younger generation and fully acknowledge the media had evolved from the time I was born (88) to today but is still drastically different from the media a lot of y'all grew up with

It's likely a product of the internet and the 24/7 news cycle. CNN, ABC, FOX, Twitter news personalities, etc have to manufacture controversies and push propaganda to get people tuning in.

Exactly, the common Joe is more gullible than he realizes. We're all guilty of taking the bait from time to time and not always asking questions, but it's crazy sifting through something like Twitter or Youtube comments from a Fox or CNN video to see how many people are brainwashed and don't even bat an eye. The scary part is how many people they reach and influence. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

A lot of it is explained by the fact that half the population has a below average IQ. Unfortunately, they're who the politician's pander to with lies, who the media focuses on manipulating, and who the talking heads feed propaganda to for the very reason that they can't and won't think for themselves or ask questions.

Don't forget everyone and their mother seemingly has a podcast.

 

[Bishop2b5]

You want a good example of why so many people absolutely hate the MSM and why we say their coverage is biased and agenda driven? You want to know why most of the media is viewed as being among the least ethical and trustworthy people in society?

The video is out and it is fucking horrific. The judges who let this asshole walk and the policymakers who brought the cashless bail, criminal justice reform, and have put these horrific offenders on the streets should suffer from it. There’s a reason people don’t take Dems serious on public safety.

Bondi said they are taking over the case.

Charlie Kirk, who has been incredibly critical of the charlotte hate crime, was just assassinated (likely) at a Utah University.
