Does anyone not "get",.... Fox News

Strange how they weren't propaganda untill our president started telling his base they are.

Nope. They have been viewed that way by the Right and by the Objective for a couple of decades now...
 
Comparing Maddow to Hannity proves nothing. What is the point being made? There is no significant fact you can draw, other than the naked fact of their numbers. What point could one make that the majority elected Hitler? That most people are easily conned? That's about it.

Just be mindful of the fact that there are more of us than there are of you. 2018 proved this, and 2016 proved it ( 3 million more votes for dems weakest candidate ever ). That is why I say "there are more of us". That is the only pertinent stat you can take to the bank.

Many in media read NYT and WaPo right ( and WSJ and Forbes ) right and left. why?

Because they are widely read, these are award winning publications, and their stories and op eds are often quoted. These are journals that it is every pundits duty to be abreast of.


Some of the lefts leading opinion leaders criticize WaPo and NYT; Noam Chomsky, for example. But they still read them, as they must.

Yeah and they live out there where you are. Hey ... is that the point you were making about Hitler?

You never really did answer what I asked you about WAPO & NYT. "Would they be more attractive to the Left or the Right and why?"

IF you ask a question, one where you are seeking information the answer of which is widely known and therefore probably known to you, the glaring truth is that the question is disingenuous, and there is some ulterior motive, i.e., it's a manipulative question.


so, take a look at that ulterior motive, and just say what the **** you are really trying to say.
 
The press, love them or not, are the only thing that stands between democracy and tyranny.

Such a simple concept is entirely lost on the right.


Well, maybe.. But I'd offer that my Ruger has something to do with it as well. ;)


I know, triggered.. triggered.. Run, run now.. Crazy righty on the board.. LOL

Manipulative?
Only if you consider that asking yourself if you realized that groups of people tend to gather with the like-minded and get their news from the same sources is manipulative.
So stats on places they gather and what they read don't mean anything.
And on the topic of the thread, projection is the driver and lack of self-awareness explains the high mileage.

The free press is there to prevent a situation where your Ruger is not necessary to be used.
