At least they don’t spin every story to blame racism, white people or Conservatives, all while adding an SJW slant.


They just talk about the American Flag 85% of the day

there was a piece on CBS where they interviewed covid patients at OLOL. Their spin was that republicans weren't getting vaccinated. Im 95% convinced this was a prescribed narrative

Has anyone else started thinking like this too?

Started feeling that way long ago but it’s so brazen now and worse than ever.

Your life must suck if you think even the weather is out to get you.

You must love you some newsmax.

And the left wonders why they get laughed at and called sheep?

The media is the enemy of the people.

Somehow my TV got put on the "news" a few weeks ago and in the 20 seconds I heard before turning it was complete bullshite slanted propoganda.

I can see why if someone trust the media they would be a leftist. It's also why they are called brainwashed.

This is the best part about posts like these they talk about how anti media they are but will slurp up anything OAN or Newsmax puts out. Because at the end of the day they just want a media outlet to agree with them. It's why you saw so many leave Fox when Fox named Biden the winner.

Assuming everyone is like you is a bad assumption.

I see regressives say this all of the time. Is it that hard for y'all to believe some people just don't watch the "news".

I promise you I do not.

Stopped watching anything news related years ago. I get all my current events right here on tOT. Life is much more peaceful for me this way.

From the person who still claims Bernie was never socialist. You're severely misinformed.

Most likely reads the Daily Kos, DU and laughs at people who watch FOX.

Nah, they trust their sources, not anyone elses.

They shite on right leaning rags, and pretend their sources are truth seekers. Dumb as rocks and can't recognize it.

No. They rush to get the "first" breaking news without checking sources. They "spin" their opinions and their "feelings" based news. Since when did that become commonplace?

I believe the powers to be behind the news have made it pure propaganda. Its very sad to see. I cannot cite one "news" source that just reports news. I don't give a shite about an anchors feelings, etc. Report the story and move on.

And this is why people don't trust idiots who purposefully source things incorrectly.

Your use of chomsky suggests he proposed this idea to the media who embraced it, and thus this idea comes from the left; not that Chomsky is actively criticizing right-wing governments' use of state-controlled media to maintain power, which is what he was talking about.

Which is what the Democrat party is doing right now, and makes it relevant.
