According to Tim Pool.

It's a good video if you feel like watching a social liberal discuss how the progressives are losing the battle.

But what does it all mean?

Conservatives are way more informed than libtards.

Shocked I tell you.

Yeah, Tim Pool is one of the good ones. He's honest and doesn't force things to fit a narrative.

It makes sense. Most people in the country are:

Pro America(n)
Pro LGBT rights
Fiscally conservative
And pretty much take a live and let live approach to everything else (including abortion).

Republicans or Democrats, whoever can grasp that the soonest, can become a political superpower. Republicans have a pretty sizable lead thanks to Trump. If the next Republican presidential candidate can hold those same views, and be a little more polished, it might be the largest margin of victory in US history.

Or republicans can ignore their success, and think what’s happening is a referendum on their whole platform, and lose.

That's really all I want from media. It's amazing that's too much to ask most of the time.

mostly thanks to an internet that is still somewhat free, but the tech powers that be are working very hard to stop that

You're right. Conservative dominate Youtube. You've got the Young Turks and Farran Cousins and that's about it for the left.

There are dozens of huge conservative shows and hundreds of smaller creators with <100K subscribers.

Will that last? Google doesn't seem to want it to, but conservative voices also dominate traditional media consumption and production.

So, the left was supposed to be more savvy across all spheres, but it looks like the right is better at it, and the left can't meme.

The Right has the truth on their side. The truth doesn't need protecting. Lies don't need to be censored. It all shines through on its own if things are left equal. This is literally what they are afraid of

I recommend Jimmy Dore if you want to listen to somewhat logical, yet still occasionally unhinged lefties...

Solid stuff comes from his crew

The thing about liberals is that they don’t seem to care about educating themselves with the facts. They’re strictly in it for the emotion.

News facts means very little to them.

Even the comments on this video are 99% conservatives.

Tim Pool is about as centrist as it gets, although he leans left, and has many friends who are staunchly conservative. He helped get Vice and Fusion media started and left to do his own thing when they went crazy. His embedded stuff, like when he was in Catalonia earlier this year, is great. He can't really do embedded stuff anymore because he's too well known and the story becomes about him. He was the one with Lauren Southern when they had to run from the Black Bloc in Hamburg.

It's telling that a centrist has so many comments from conservatives. It says conservatives are willing to listen to opposing viewpoints whereas the left has excommunicated him and ANTIFA has contracts out for his head.

It means you guys whine about nothing even whem you have everything. It means the myth that is the liberal controlled media will have to die. It means that conservatives love fake news from internet websites. It means conservatives love getting angry news about liberals from Fox. I can keep going if you like

No just means you guys are morons and lied to yourselves the entire time about how liberal media ran the country. Granted, most of your media sources are YouTubers and fake news websites with almost zero credibility... but still....the point remains

But your top site is labeled FAKE NEWS while the conservative top site is labeled as reliable and accurate, though biased.

So, not only does the left consume less news from a variety of sites, the consume less reliable "news" from those sites.

I did. It's stupid. It shows that you guys have been either too stupid or too dishonest this entire time to admit that you had just as much of a foothold in the media as liberals do. It also shows that there are huge number of morons in this country which checks out.

Liberals spread it out over lots of different formats. About half of the Liberals I know listen to NPR. Other liberals get their news from places like New York Times and Washington Post because we enjoy reading more. And you guys dominate with website traffic because you love going to fake news websites.

Pretty simple.

Also it is absolutely ridiculous to think that there is some sort of war with the media. That kind of talk actually scares me about what you guys would do to intentionally deceive.
