Aren't they supposed to keep everyone honest?

How do we fix this?

You have to take over the media empires, they get their talking points and are told what to cover at the top. Imagine a media like the Daily Bugle from Spider-Man…. Really slanted to attack one side…..that’s our MSM

I have one thought.

Buy the parent media companies stock. Retain controlling interest. Vote the board out. Install a board committed to change.

News outlets are largely owned by large media conglomerates that also include divisions that create and sell movies, television programs, and streaming content. The largest market for those products is China. A single man in China can shut down access to the market if your news division says things that are problematic.

MSM should be the number one focus of Republicans.

The casual voter only knows what they hear from the leftist spin on every topic.

The media is the enemy of the people. Until they are all burned to the ground and rebuilt nothing will change

I believe the only reason for the media to exist is to push narratives that are NOT true. Think about it. A self-evident truth is plain for all to see. It does not require any particular effort to communicate. It is only when the narrative disconnects from reality it must be kept alive via relentless propaganda. Viewed though this lens, the truth is inversely correlated with the strength of the media narrative. Empirical observations seem to bear this out.

Network media relies on ad revenue. Don't buy nationally advertised products whenever possible.

Years ago DJT coined the phrase FAKE NEWS.

Between he & Biden, as time progresses, it’s becoming painfully obvious who the real liar/deceiver is between the two. To the point where denial just makes one look like a idiot.

I'm not OT rich baw.

But hear me out. Look at this Reddit endeavor with GME and AMC. Not so much with the shorting but with the grass roots organization. Is it a smaller scale? Sure. Can it be done on a larger scale? Maybe.

It is worth a shot. Hell, activist groups just got 2 greenie board members on the XOM board.

Just saying, if Conservative America started direct buying shares of these corporations in an effort to own a controlling interest, it is possible.

Emerson (in 1841) said it best: ".... but the sour faces of the multitude, like their sweet faces, have no deep cause, but are put on and off as the wind blows and a newspaper directs."

Projecting blame on the media instead of your own shallow, undisciplined, unprincipled self is nothing new.
