I’ve gotten to the point where I’m skeptical to believe anything that any of the Mainstream Media outlets put out. I don’t even trust the weather forecasts anymore. I mean nothing. I believe absolutely zero that comes from CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS or MSNBC. I might trust 20% of the stuff Fox News reports.


Lol you get your news from fox? That’s the most biased station on cable.

People that discredit everything the MSM puts out, where do you get your news from? Where do you hear about current events?

"Manufacturing Consent" is probably the best explanation of why mainstream media cannot be trusted. And it emanates from the political left.

Fact-check.org will show you who is the biggest fricking liar of them all. Don’t be a hypocrite people. Do real research. Everything, almost everything, can be looked up. Trumpers are literally the dumbest people alive. Look at your fellow comrades. Trump was mad the insurrectionists were all trashy morons. That should open your eyes. Yet you overlook everything for him. What the f does he do for you that you are so willing to toss away any resemblance of being a decent human being? The whole world laughs at you. He literally sets an example of disgust so you don’t have to hide your racism and xenophobia anymore? His lies literally killed so many. Yay! The election wasn’t even close guys. He was handed a pandemic. All he had to do was take it seriously and he would’ve been re-elected easily. He chose conspiracy theories, again. How do you fall for it over and over. Same playbook. Biggest loss ever. Grow up baby back bitches.

The perfect example of why Noam Chomsky and Yuri Bezmenov were 100% correct about media and psychological subversion.

I quit watching them back when they failed to cover the Trump admin worth a shite.


My suspicions were confirmed throughout the covid reporting scams, and this current "administration"

99% of anything the media says is a lie. I've stopped watching entirely.

Umh, I said I trust 20% of what they put out. Not all. They’re mostly full of shite too. At least they don’t spin every story to blame racism, white people or Conservatives, all while adding an SJW slant.

Unfortunately there aren’t any non-biased places to get news anymore. Everyone has an agenda. And it’s usually about someone blaming someone else and not taking responsibility for their on BS actions.

My wife had CBS morning news on this week. It was straight propaganda.

Absolutely not. They are a propaganda machine for the communist democrat party. Deception and subterfuge on behalf of their communist overlords on Capital Hill IS their whole reason for being.

So, why would ANYONE with half a brain trust ANYTHING that slides off their forked tongues.

The Obama administration legalized government funding of propaganda. When you look at how far most media outlets have gone off the rails since then, it makes a lot of sense.

Not everything on the news is political. It may be controversial, divisional, or ugly, but that doesn’t by default make it political.

No it’s not. If a person has a penchant for constantly lying it’s best not to believe anything they say.

Seems like you could be more specific about this as opposed to just saying all reported media is 100% false


He never said or implied that. He's saying that if someone is a liar, don't believe anything they say. That doesn't mean everything they say is a lie; it just means their utterances can't be trusted.

For the sake of your soul, I hope this was a sarcastic post…. If not, you need some serious help, my friend.

Thank you. I even said you can’t trust the weather anymore. They can’t even do a damn sports story without adding some type of SJW twist to it.
