You may be taken back by the comment, but let's face the truth.

-The media has long become a political arm of socialist ideas.

-Media has become activists for the left.

We could list times that they have gone way past the line of a free press.

Did Russia try to interfere with the election? Maybe.

Did the Media try to sway the election? Yes.

----------------------

Did the Russians leak information on Hillary? Maybe

Did the media leak information on Trump? Yes and pretty much refused to cover the information in the leaks of Hillary.

----------------------

The point being.... Trump has a point. This isn't a free independent press anymore. They are paid political hacks cheering on their side.

I look at the media as corporations. And their interests are not aligned with the American people. I know this because only a true free helps the people.

I see. You can not refute it, so you attack the message and the messenger.

I see you couldn't let your thread fall to the bottom of the first page so you had to bump it



Not one statement you posted was logical. Why would I waste my time trying to refute a fallacious argument?

Exactly! There is a reason why the media is at an all time low

It's worse than that. The media is their own enemy. Newspapers destroyed their subscription base when they took stances that directly hurt white middle-class citizens. You know, the people who read newspapers? They really shot themselves in the foot with their social crusading.

They've been my enemy for a long time. Lois Lerner's trips to the WH largely unreported. White-lash. On and on it goes, and for a long time.

I understand them to be enemies of American values, although they talk a lot about being the fourth estate and protecting democracy.

What does that image have to do with the media and why is Brad's listed twice?

They'll be the first ones drug outside and shot when the civil war they are promoting breaks out. Free Press, that's a freaking complete joke.

Insofar as it is the major mode of communicated disinformation in our society, I'd agree with the characterization.

It's not an argument.

It is a conclusion logically derived from objective facts.

The highest rated cable news network is conservative. The number 1 talk radio show is conservative.Talk radio is dominated by conservative talk show hosts. Gannet Newspapers the number 1 chain is conservative in editorial policy. Tell me how the conservative media is the enemy of the American people?

If they deliberately disseminate disinformation, no further discussion is warranted.
