Just out of curiosity:

#1 How much time do you spend thinking about your media boogeyman and what would you do with yourself without them to a) fear and b) hold up as evidence of whatever narrative you want to push on any given day?

#2 In your opinion, what percentage of being a conservative in America in 2018 really boils down to martyring for these media narratives as opposed to the actual issues our country faces?

Look what Palmer report replied to Trump...

@PalmerReport
Palmer Report: timely, accurate, honest political analysis. Followed by President Obama. Blocked by Donald Trump Junior. Do the math.

To be fair the AP pulled their stuff very early in the day.

And can we start recognizing how Fox news is a part of the MSM?

Lefties use “racist” like soldiers use “frick” and civilians use commas.

It's not like the media isn't an important part of the equation

Most of the big issue items are trending in a positive direction. Very few are really at a crisis point. If there was a ton of bad news on big issue items we'd be talking about them.

Also on a semi related note, can y’all please come up with another phrase besides “red pilled”? It conjures up images of the cringey neckbeard virgin MRA losers.

But not literally everything comes back to the fricking media. I’m tired of the whining. The vast majority of people know the media has an agenda to push and ratings to grab. Both liberal and conservative media.

It’s just non fricking stop with the media boogeyman, y’all are a one trick pony at this point.

i don't spend much time doing this. i just see the proliferation of the memes via social media

and what would you do with yourself without them to a) fear

i don't fear them

b) hold up as evidence of whatever narrative you want to push on any given day?

what "narrative" am i pushing other than dishonesty in a proliferated meme that plagued the leftist media outlets and their political/social media cohorts? they promoted a lie as a horrible comment and when they were exposed, they had to defend MS13. if you want to call the truth a narrative, then i am promoting that narrative

no clue but that % is increasing because of this dishonesty

this social/media infrastructure loves to ruin people's lives for mistakes. i think many people do have a bit of fear that they will become the next proliferated meme. remember, CNN doxed a fricking kid b/c they got butt hurt

if you want a very new example, the "racist lawyer" is that example. i'm not defending his actions, but the NATIONAL response for a moment of stupidity is insane. and it's going through all the leftist/progressive groups i follow on FB

The Dems have gone to the well so many times that they've lost the intended effect. Are Americans really this stupid? I'm beginning to think so.

I think its worse how they constantly lie about his approval rating.

Always showing him at or under fifty percent when we all know at minimum Our President is now lower than in the sixties.

We'll give him that it was such an egregious lie that I honestly believe it justifies a bullet to their head........

someone replied to Palmer that he supports this

NSFW GRAPHIC photo of a MS-13 victim

ETA: Who would have ever thought our media would support this? Imagine the hate to take up with this vile, sick, occult killing; to do a cheap GOTCHA on President Trump.

Of course what the media did here is no big deal to you. Constantly telling bald-faced lies to imply your opponents are racist sexist bigot homophobes is beneficial to your cause

You're not the one the media is doing it to

This wasn't some media mistake. It wasn't even bias. It was just straight up calculated lying

How do you feel that your party has contorted themselves to take up the Hamas and MS13 mantle in the same week? And seemingly only did so because Trump was opposed to those groups?
