Americans Waking Up To Leftist Media Lies

Well, I agree. I mean, look. When your product sucks, improve the product! Right? Duh!

Common sense.

The only viewers left at CNN are the Trump critics who at least begrudgingly accept that he is not the devil incarnate but haven't figured out yet how much of CNN news is purely fabricated stuff and the opinion of the hosts/talking heads with no substance behind it. All the truly malicious, hateful, bat**** crazy ones have gone over to MSNBC and with such a concentration of them there, they are enjoying higher numbers than they ever have. They still trail behind Fox News though and Laura Ingraham is now challenging Tucker Carlson for the #2 spot behind Hannity at Fox. Fox was seriously hurt losing both Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly to alleged sex scandals, but they never lost their #1 spot in cable news and their numbers are slowly coming back up as the other news channels offer nothing more than Trump and conservative bashing and that has to become boring for even the most approving liberals.

Yeah. Cool. I watch FNC about once a week. I don't have the time to watch everyday but as far as "TV" political view points, FNC is pretty even in their reporting. Of course the left will crap kittens, but to them, even is: 90%/10% against.

Agreed, common sense from the free market / capitalistic perspective.
The left perspective would appear to favor the use of the government gun to get what they think you should want, i.e. ObamaCare and the non-use cohesion penalties.

Thanks, but no, I prefer the former.

The Rush Limbaugh Show.

With Algore's invention of the internet, the leftists media have lost a monopoly on "news." Limbaugh et al helped, tremendously. :)

Obviously, you're sleeping so deeply you're in a dream, within a dream, within another dream. You still have two more levels of waking up before you get to reality.

I assure you, Rush Limbaugh is not reality. It seems you can't tell the difference between a political entertainer and a someone with sincere political beliefs. Limbaugh creates a persona to make money off people like you. Trump is the same. They just say what they think will get you excited. Wake up.

As I have already stated in quite a few posts..............Rush is a entertainer.

The problem with you...................is that you didn't take the time to research this before you spouted off on your keyboard.

But, even entertainers can influence people enough to take a look at things from a different perspective if there are any real gravity in their words.

This is where people like you fail............... because you fail to understand that even great reporters like Edward R. Murrow saw the value in relating his words towards making a living.

I usually record the prime time shows and it takes roughly 20 minutes or so to catch the monologues of Tucker, Sean, and Laura and maybe just the meat of what they are covering that evening. I seldom stick around for most of the interviews as they are too often just people talking over each other and don't add much in the way of additional substance, but every now and then especially Laura and Sean have a guest on who provides some information that is thought provoking or substantive. I do check in at CNN and MSNBC once in awhile but it is mind numbingly boring and tedious to listen to the same assigned talking points and hateful speculation over and over and over again and I can't remember the last time I actually was informed about something there that I didn't already know.

I think Trump should stop tweeting for a week.

The main stream media would have blank pages and nothing to report on.

Maybe a few would go back to school to learn how to be a real reporter and actually investigate stories.

Why would they do that when Trump simply steps on his own dick each and every day. He makes their job easy.

Yeah, when you hear leftists whinge about Melania wearing high heels, or DJT drinking a diet coke, I can see where it gets mind numbing.

I know it's hard to comprehend, but this thread is about America waking up to leftist media lies. Since when is DJT the frickin' media?

Poll Shows Public Waking Up to Media Lies About GOP Tax Plan

I don't think the left is aware they are being played as fools, or they do and don't mind being suckered. Either way, more Americans are waking up to the fact they have been repeatedly lied to by the leftist propaganda machine.

Good for America.

Ooooooo, A Breitbart article - I'm sold. Next would you please put up an Alex Jones video to support your claim? I'm not yet quite convinced :lamo

A Breitbart.com article you're going to post on this board, and expect pragmatic people to believe it---:lamo Maybe they should wake up to Brietbart.com?

Slowly but surely, Bannon turned Breitbart into not only the most-read conservative web outlet but also the most incendiary one. It was happy to embrace fringe beliefs like birtherism and play footsie with blatantly racist notions of black criminality. It wasn’t interested in looking even faintly objective, instead inventing easily understood “narratives” of crusading conservative heroes and their many victories against the hated left.

Bannon’s Breitbart also realized that there was a large online community that naturally gravitated to Trump, a mix of people who saw themselves as far too radical to be accepted by polite society. Among them, conservative suspicions of diversity, inclusion, feminism, and political correctness had metastasized into something much darker.

This was the alt-right, a collection of racists, KKK, Neo-Nazi's, pick-up artists, men’s rights activists, and other noxious trolls of the internet.

The new wing of the Republican party (ALT-RIGHT) brought to you by Brietbart.com Charlottesville, Virginia

As the official start of the “Unite the Right” rally kicked off in Charlottesville, Virginia, former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke said the gathering of white supremacists, neo-Nazis and far-right individuals pointed to a future fulfillment of President Donald Trump’s “promises.”

I don't care if leftists read it or not. The fact is, the nation is slowly wakening to the abject lies by the leftist propaganda machine. Deal with it.
 
DamnYankee said:
First, use some common sense. If less and less people are turning away from the leftist propaganda machine, doesn't seem possible those people are finding some other source? On their own? Or are these people smarter than the average leftist who need direction? Do you need direction? Can't you possibly find, for yourself, another source? Or is the thought too much to think about?
Click to expand...

You just offered no sources to turn to. If you want people to run away from MSM, where should they go to for news?
