A more pertinent question would be why ?? Why is the Media predominately reporting this negative ( and in many cases sensational) content aimed against the Right ? It's obvious it is happening. And it's obvious that mainstream media is biased to the Left. There is NO disputing that.
But how do people from the Right like Hannity and Gingrich keep touting how strong the Conservative party is, how the majority of Americans are Conservative , and overall how the Conservative Party is a force to be reckon with...but only muster up one or two mediums that penetrate mainstream media ..i.e. mainly Fox News. If the Conservative Movement was so powerful as they say and so prevalent in our World as they say then they would have their own Media that could counter the mainstream liberal media.
They would have 5 or 10 Fox News instead of just one.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong. Honestly, the leftist mainstream media just reporting on sensational news against the Right all the time is not the beacon of journalistic integrity.
I guess it is what it is.
But I'm just attempting to give you insight into why we have Media that slants to the Left. For better or worse It's because the Media is who we are as a Society . The fact is In US and the demographics of our Society are not like they were 50 years ago or even 20 years ago. It's not predominately white nationalism so prevalent during those times. It's middle eastern immigrants, blacks, hindus, muslims, latinos, mexicans, gays, transgender, whites, Europeans, satanists etc..etc..and everything in between.i
And a certain homogenous group wants to put off that change as long as they can and continue
living in 1950 America. They would rather stagnate than progress in this World. Trust me if this group had the power the left had in the Media they would be dominating and penetrating the mainstream news unapologetically with their own hard right ideology
The fact that there are even sides is ascenine.
It's a construct to keep us constantly at odds with each other to make us easier to control, the media are being used by their corporate masters to promote the left as they are traditionally favour centralisation and are control freaks.
It's better for big business when your in bed with the governments you also own, ironically that is fascism the merger of corporations and the state according Mussolini, something that has always been reported to be a right wing political ethos, thus proving my point that it's ridiculous.
The left/right paradigm has been co-opted so no matter which one of the puppets that are put up for selection is picked nothing changes. It was supposed to be Bush/Clinton and Trump gate crashed their party, that's why they're after him, they didn't chose him the people did.
Personally I think he's a fool but as I stated in the post, I don't like any politicians but at least he's his own man
The media are supposed to be impartial, period!
"The media are supposed to be impartial, period!"
In the history of Man ,they have NEVER been and NEVER will be. Trying to somehow convince others or your ownself that it needs to be that way may seem noble but it's just plain futile ! My response is "human nature"...nuff said !!
I never said they ever had been I said they were supposed to be.
I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything I'm trying to get a thread of properly researched truth posts here that is easy for those who care about real news to find.
What are you doing about something you clearly think is wrong other than having a go at someone who is trying to affect change?
Fuck all looking at your blog. Posting YouTube videos of morons isn't going to make the world a better place is it!
"Fuck all looking at your blog. Posting YouTube videos of morons isn't going to make the world a better place is it!"
Okaaaay, not sure where that came from but hey whatever makes you feel good lol
The fact is I wasn't trying to have a "go" at you or anyone else. Just expressing my opinions.
Too bad you have to go on the offense and personally try to denigrate someone else and their work here.
Plain and simple when someone resorts to that it usually means they come from a weak position.
It's exactly what we are seeing with this President... i.e don't like something you hear or something that contradicts your position then lower the bar and start hurling personal insults and uncalled for rhetoric.
The current Administration has made this permissible and you ( even though you are from Great Britain)are a prime example of the kind of things we are seeing now in the US !
I know I truly appreciate your Post and your points and views within it. And the amount of diligence and work you put in it is to be highly commended as I gave you an Upvote. Although I might not agree completely with them, they are very sound points and ideas you talk about !!
Actually, I agree with a large portion of them. And I. too , am a seeker of Truth so I can appreciate that.
The fact is Iam always open to hearing the other side and having constructive and critical debate.And I refuse to participate in this immature bantering of personal insults and going back and forth with that !! No thanks, I'll pass.But by all means, you can go ahead and have at it.
P.S. I truly hope your #nomorefakenews will be applied in a unbiased manner. Starting with the President of the US who is the purveyor of #fakenews and a pathological liar along with his cronies. And Iam neither a Dem or Republican. And cannot stand partisan politics. Btw, it's funny when I started watching CNN I begin to see that they do report on a lot of negative news related to Trump and the Conservatives. Much of it is sensational trivial news. But in the last few months I begin watching Fox News ( maybe in UK you don't watch that ??) . Let me tell you I have NEVER EVER seen such blatantly biased news and they do not even hide it. It's so much full of right wing, pro trump propaganda and hype and little facts..well it's hard to sit through. But I somehow manage lol. Like I said I try to look at all sides.
Bottom line : #nomorefakenews needs to be applied all the way around. Left, Right etc..
If Truth is where you are going and want to go, then I'm all in with you. Sometimes I might be fidgety with some contrarian views along the way but in the long run TRUTH always has to be prize we keep our eyes on.
It appears we have have missed each other's point which is ok, differing opinions and healthy debate is good. I mistook you for one of the many trolls that pervade social media sites these days which is why I went on the offensive.
IMO the networks should be ignored as they're trying to control the thoughts their viewers by spinning non stories in tit for tat attacks on the opposing side they support, something they should never do. Report the facts on real stories and let the viewers form their own opinions, that's my issue. No impartiality and bullshit narratives created to distract from real and important stories.
I totally agree.
Amen
That's the attitude which will slowly make a change if we can get folks to adopt it. Write posts along those lines and you'll get traction here, a good following and maybe a few bucks into the bargain.
Peace dude.
Yep, sounds good. Iam Following you now and look forward to seeing more posts from you in the future. I know for all people to a certain extent it can be damn hard to Follow the Truth because it can hurt so damn much. i.e religion, relationships, hard core family traditions and beliefs etc..etc.. But not being led by Truth and not trying to find it can hurt so much more.
