Re: Do you trust the media?

Fake news is trending strongly. Not going to get into this for the fear of getting stoned!

There have been recent world changing false flag events that has deceived most of the world.
Including the brainwashed and handsomely rewarded who created it.
Exuding the creators of it and the people how see right thru the bullshit.

Media comes with an agenda from the people who owns the platforms.
If you are the boss you will collect liked minded people/journalists and only publish what you approve of.

Don't eat this smoke that...

Re: Do you trust the media?

In ZA people are slaughtered for all kinds of reasons.
Mostly about who is owning land(bartered for and acquired legally with proof) or where they came from hundreds of years ago.
Same people who insured well being and gave what was requested.
Because of the local and global interest the cries are silenced.

There are news sources like liveleak.com but they too filter out content and a lot of that is manufactured.
And the crap you encounter on there.
So no one to trust!

You will get rejected for the truth.

95% of the media on TV or print are an extension of the Democrat party. They will spin the narrative any way the dems want. Fortunately according to all the polls most people do NOT trust the media. Right up there with how much people dislike Congress!
When 95% of the media is bashing Trump 24-7 people are smart enough to realize media is bullshit!

What is funny the media bull & congress not getting anything done is actually going to help keep Trump in office another 6 years and Congress back to Republicans!

For sure Ginsberg won't last that long so Trump will pick at least one more Supreme Court Justice and that will shape our country for many years to come. Even if the Dems win after Trump's 6 more years at least they won't be able to legislate using the courts!

Re: Do you trust the media?

News reporting used to be an obligatory use of airtime. News at 6 and 10. Then came 24 hour news and along with it competition reporting it. Now, it seems that in order to scoop the competitors, they actually try to create the news rather than just report it. Sensationalize it, miss a fact or two...whatever it takes to beat the competition to the report. If they were all back to reporting the same thing and just the facts, to keep the public informed, it would be more real again.

Funny how they are there to report just minutes after it happens...

So not political agendas only but just to drum up business.

Please don't flip a lid or soil your panties, but this is funny.

He is better than the opposition.

For us in Europe:
95% of the media on TV or print are an extension of the European Union. They will spin the narrative any way the European Union wants thanks to the Barcelona Declaration. Which advises the press how to cover certain subjects and which ones to avoid reporting at all.

When 95% of the media is bashing Trump 24-7 people are smart enough to realize media is bullshit!

We get Trump bashing in Europe too since his politics differ from what the elite want us to think.

Re: Do you trust the media?

The US media follows the rules set by the government (the FCC and NSA) on what and what not to report. Anything that would incite panic or economic collapse or anything deemed classified is forbidden under threat of fines, imprisonment and/ or losing their license to broadcast (and in some circumstances, maybe even threat of death). Do I believe that all news is fake? Of course not. Do I think some stories that should be told are left out of the daily broadcasts? Absolutely. It seems that the media has an enormous amount of control over the public when it comes to telling people what they should think is important, kind of like programming the mind. Question everything, and don't assume anything.

Jip censorship is the boat they sail.

Even google search results vs other engines seems to be biased in favor of what i make out to be the opposition.

If you want an informed analysis of where the current media is headed, Mark Levin has a new book coming soon, Unfreedom of the Press. It is available for pre-order at Amazon.

Re: Do you trust the media?

No I do not trust the media or the current congress. Yes Trump is not perfect. But he is bashed by the media more than any other president has been. If Obama was trashed half as much as Trump is heads would be rolling all over the country. As under Obama my daily life has not changed for the better or the worse under Trump. Just more hate from the left because their candidate did not win a rigged election. The left could not handle that defeat and cannot handle the the Mueller report could not find any Trump/Russian collusion after over 2 years of investigation.

There are more people working under the Trump administration than there was under the Obama administration. Trump has brought more US Citizens home from foreign prisons then Obama did with less money. Trump did at least get Rocket Man to talk peace even though you can't trust anything N Korea does or says. That is more than any president has done since the Korea's were divided. Now the left wants to allow illegal immigrants to vote in federal elections, talk about foreign interference of an election.

They also want to get rid of the electoral college because Hillary could not win. By eliminating the electoral college most states will not have a say in who becomes president. Would only need three cities to vote one way or the other and you have exceeded 50% of the US population. It has worked for over 200 years. They also want to allow incarcerated people to be allowed to vote. Sorry, they lost that right went they went to jail. If they cannot be considered to be safe to wander among the people then they do not need to vote.

Then there are the states that are making laws to keep Trump off of their state ballot just because of his income tax papers. If he has to show his we should be able to see the income tax reports of everyone in congress and anyone else elected to an office.

Again Trump may not have been the best choice bit in my opinion he care more about the USA than the democrats, Hillary and Obama.

My opinion, don't have to like, but at least respect it and I'll respect yours.
