We may be underestimating the effectiveness of the DimMedia to mislead Americans

Yesterday IG Horowitz appeared before the Senate Judiciary committee and gave testimony from his findings regarding the misuse of the FISA court to illegally spy on Americans. If you didn't watch Horowitz's complete QA and only listened to his opening statement it appeared the surveillance of Carter Page and eventually Team Trump was all done properly and for good cause but we know after listening to Horowitz answer a few key questions it was all fraudulent.

Here's where it gets interesting and disturbing at the same time. I never watch any DimMedia outlet when there's a congressional committee conducting a hearing, typically I'll watch For News because they are generally pretty good at letting the proceedings play out uninterrupted, once a recess is called they have a panel of R's and Dims comment on what has transpired. Yesterday morning during Horowitz testimony I curiously flipped over to MSDNC, number one I wanted to see if they were even covering the hearing (they were) and number two who was on their panel to spin this damning testimony against the Deep State Dims. When I flipped over to MSDNC it was when Graham was reading all the politically biased emails between Strzok and Page, you know the ones that showed no political bias according to Horowitz. MSDNC didn't allow Graham to read all the emails instead they cut back to Claire McCaskill for the spin. McCaskill tells the Dim Drone viewers that Graham is taking all the emails out of context and Horowitz has already established there was no political bias.

After watching that sequence on MSDNC I thought to myself, these frickers are good, extremely deceptive and irresponsible but they did a great job of softening the damning evidence from Graham by cutting away and doing immediate spin/damage control for their candy arse viewers, I've never seen Fox News do that during a hearing.

So I went back to Fox News and watched quite a bit of Horowitz's testimony but I set the DVR before I left to Morning Melt....I wanted to see how Joe Cuckborough opened the Melt show tomorrow morning. Well I just watched the show opening and it was all Trump impeachment. Joe spent the first half hour mocking Jim Jordan and other R's wondering how these so called republicans could sit in an impeachment hearing defending Trump while telling his audience that I, Joe Cuckborough am a real conservative. After 30 minutes Joe plays IG Horowitz opening statement where Horowitz says everything was kosher no political bias, no wrong doing and that's where Joe left the hearing and promptly began telling his audience all the Trump supporters who claim there's some Deep State conspiracy against Donald Trump were sorely disappointed.....basically all Deep State activities have now been debunked...the FBI/DOJ are vindicated.

All I can tell you is we're in trouble as a nation, primarily because of a dishonest and politically biased MSM. We now have +90% of the MSM running cover for the Deep State Dims/NWO/Globalists and the never Trumpers. I think most of us have believed that the vast majority of Americans can see through the DimMedia BS but after watching their programming strategies I can see how weak minded people are subject to their control tactics.

I don't think anyone is underestimating a thing. It's a profoundly effective propaganda tool for the left, and it's still firing on all cylinders.

Here is what I've learned from IRL discussions with Dems. They get most of their news from 1/2 of network news in the evening. I eventually discovered why they are limited to that. They don't read. They don't read books, magazines or newspapers because their reading skills never got beyond 5th grade and they are very sensitive about it.

The media holds power in half of Americans.

But very little in the other half.

I go back to the fact if the media held power to more than half of Americans then Hillary would be President.

I'm really concerned that DimMedia will be too powerful to defeat. If at least 60-70% of Americans don't reject the DimMedia I think we're serious trouble.

Once a political movement, no matter how Totalitarian, takes control over mass media, pop culture, academia, cinema production, music production, social media and other information outlets, that movement will eventually succeed.

It might take a long time to succeed, but, it will eventually succeed. Once the movement has control of the minds of the youth that are indoctrinated from birth, that youth will grow to become the adults that run things. Once these young radicals are in control, the movement begins to impose its will on the people.

We are not yet at the stage in which the indoctrinated radicals are now in control of all of the levers of government. However, we are in the stage in which the radicals are in control of almost all info outlets and in control of MANY of the levers of governmental power.

There is nothing that I can foresee that will halt or reverse this particular movement's progress, and IMHO it will eventually succeed. Maybe not in our lifetimes, but, eventually.

just a number put probably 75% of america does not waste their time with these committe shows and read these transcripts and get the truth from the source. They rely on the news. Unfortunately some rely on CNN and some rely only on fox. IF thats what you do you do not get the actual facts. You have to do your own investigation outside of the main stream media.

The majority of America is not going to do that.

This is the truth. I am shocked at how horrible the coverage is slanted towards Democrats after watching yesterday and the impeachment hearings. How can people that work for these news stations do this in good conscious? How is it THIS deep? You have to think there are good apples here and there. I hope there's more of those on the inside that are fed up with this that will eventually expose the hypocrisy. I really don't know where else there is hope outside of Trump being re-elected and continuing to do what he does.

Rush has been saying for years that the media gives the talking points to the Dems, not the other way around. The Democratic party is the political arm of the main stream media.

SO they have weaponized freedom of the press.

With the nosediving viewership and the multiple other outlets the effectiveness of the radical left media is declining. It is still there, but thankfully the internet and talk radio has greatly lessened their impact.

It really is no longer media. It should honestly just be referred to as the propaganda wing of the DNC.

That being said, less people than you think believe a word of the "news".

But it does seeing about 20 percent of the vote. Imagine if we had actual reporting. The DNC would need to undergo a total transformation.

We have almost arrived at the point in which practically ALL who reside here inside the USA obtain their information from their smartphone/cell phones. Control of all info that can be accessed by cell phone is the key to adequate conditioning of the US electorate such that they vote for Totalitarianism.

Think about how stupid the average person is and then realize half of all people are dumber than that.

Look at European countries. They have gone full liberal and you can already see it shifting back some. It will take awhile but once they actually take power, the weaknesses of their ideas show themselves.

We will eventually go far left. Then people will reject it after a decade or two. In the end. People care about themselves and their family. Once the crazed ideas come to pass and people feel the effect of their policies, they will turn them back.

Trump won because of this fight back. It will change of course and eventually move further left as the norm, but in time it will swing back around as well.

It is what it is. Hard to stop its inevitability.

It's very effective, but no one watches them anymore so they're losing that effectiveness.

It's been said that"Practice makes perfect". And oh, do they have a lot of practice at it.
