How many times can the media cry wolf before even CNN’s remaining 775,000 viewers get tired of being played for suckers?

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.
 
Criticizing the MSM with Breitbart is like trying to improve an Applebee's meal by putting a literal turd on it.
 
hysterical, posting from Brietbart trying to whine about leftist media bias. God right wingers are sad and pathetic

Technically, that could marginally improve an Applebee's meal. They're apparently trying it at Chili's too.

I wouldn't know. I never ate at an Applebee's.

Breibart isn't the only outlet reporting on this very same subject. You would have known that have you been curious to look it up for yourself.

It seems more and more Americans are waking to the fact the leftist propaganda machine is untrustworthy, thus they are turning to more reliable sources. I suspect most leftists, don't even realize they are being played as fools. Every village needs it's idiots I suppose.

LOL blah blah blah, just repeat the same stupidity.

Yup, we know, in loony right wing world (as Fox news has brainwashed you) all of science, all universities, and all of media but Fox and Brietbart, the entire world, they are all biased. Sure thing there, OK.

And I guess if conservatives had all the real facts they would actually be able to back up their arguments with facts, logic reasoning. Look at the forum, most you can get out of cons is repeat some so called "fact" then deflect. Nothing but one or two line responses, no substance, no facts, no logic.

State falsehood, claim all fact to the contrary are fake, repeat falsehood, deflect. Over and over again, that seems to be a huge amount of responses we get from conservatives on message boards.

Meanwhile liberals write thesis responses, which you guys just ignore.

OK, sorry, I should get out of your fantasy land and let you live in ignorant bliss (although it seems more like anger than bliss)
 
This is the very reason the left wing polling is pure garbage. The left wing media is now being ignored and becoming irrelevant because of all the lies that have been told since Trump decided to run for POTUS. Post election the left wing media has double downed, and are losing the battle even more than before. CNN now only has 750,000 viewers. Do you have any idea how bad this is? Wow just Wow at have low they have gone.

There is new media out here on the net that will in fact replace all the lying left wing bastards, in time. The truth always prevails, even if it takes a good bit of time..

What stupidity would that be? It's the first time I posted this particular article. Your problem is, less and less people are tuning in to the leftist propaganda. Real life experiences aren't matching what that propaganda is trying to fool us into believing. It's fooled the left however.

Name some reliable sources I can turn to, since I am depressed by the “enemies of the people.” Trump’s tweets, perhaps?

Well you can argue back and forth, make claims as to what the law is, and call each other names...
Or you can just read the law for yourself: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1/text
I read it in just under 2 hours. It ain't rocket science. And after reading it, I can tell you that just about everyone here and in the media who claims to "tell you what it says" is FOS and has not read it for themselves.

How about turn off the TV and rely or your own brain to tell you what's right and what isn't.
Try this. If I say, over and over again, that I didn't steal a cookie from the cook jar....
Every day, every time you see me, no matter what we talk about, I just keep saying, "I didn't steal the cookie. There was no cookie stolen."
What do you deduce from that?
Yeh, right. I probably stole the cookie.
Critical thinking skills--lacking in today's world. Too much TV, too much social media, not enough thinking....
 
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.

Then you should have put up a respectable media source instead of the turd known as Breitbart. Why was that so hard?

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?

I'm don't cater to leftists. Part of the fun of discovery, is doing it yourself. Enjoy, or cower in fear of something new. Your choice. Just don't be lazy.

Very weak response. You wrote a bad OP and you are struggling to take personal responsibility for it. Now what are these sources that you claim? Post them. And no more propaganda pieces. Real, actual, journalism. That is what I will listen to.

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.

I have known reporters and done dozens of interviews, many of them over divisive issues, in my professional life. I would venture to state that the media is fair and honest, checks with the other side even if I didn’t want them to, etc. I think the notion that there is some insidious agenda is ridiculous. We are a conservative country by and large. (Archie Bunker used to refer to that “pinko Cronkite.”) If the media plays it down the middle it will seem liberal to many in our population, which is not served well by this absurdity.

The larger question of course is why/how this occurred? When and how did mind control take over the top newspapers and networks?

But have patience. My son is studying journalism in college. When he is done I’ll check to see if he learns the secret handshake. Meanwhile, my observation is that conservatives gravitate to places like Breitbart looking for comfort food for the brain. When I read the not-so-failing NYTimes I am not always comforted.

Billionaire Trump cut his own taxes and the taxes of his rich friends like the billionaire Mercer family. Somehow he's managed to convince you he did it for you. I'm pretty confident you're the one being played.

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.
