Hokie, people, in general listen to the mainstream media. Some are naive enough to believe the rhetoric. My point is: currently, people are seeing what's happening, in there pocketbook; however, at one point, when the economy rights itself (its going to take a different administration), then people will start listening again.hokiewolf said:I don't think it ever worked.caryking said:I think it's just a matter of time when it starts working again. Biden's complete debacle of a presidency (illegitimate I might add) has ruined any chance of then listening, for now...hokiewolf said:my question to you packgrad, with what we're seeing now and what is predicted for November and 2024, is the push to the progressive agenda from then even working?packgrad said:Civilized said:packgrad said:
Press hasn't been conservative partisan in my lifetime. And I'm almost 50. Always liberal. Now it is essentially a propaganda arm of the democrat party.
Fox, Newsmax, Breitbart, NY Post, Gateway Pundit, Blaze, InfoWars, Daily Wire, Epoch, Daily Caller, and others aren't conservative partisan?
Really loud opinion voices like Carlson, Beck, and Hannity aren't out there espousing conservative views?
We don't have fairly centrist press like WSJ, USA Today, Yahoo, and Bloomberg?
"Press" isn't a mono block. It's a spectrum. There are more liberal sources than conservative but there are clearly both out there in the market.
Ahh. Willful ignorance or intentionally obtuse? Never said there isn't conservative press. The overwhelming amount is leftist propaganda though. Look no further than nightly news. Now granted, FOXNEWS destroys all of your leftist news sites in ratings every month. It's why leftists like you always scream FOXNEWS!!!! immediately after left bias is pointed out. But the overwhelming majority of news channels are leftist. Look at your TV guide.
No we don't have fairly centrist press.
It's similar to your self described role here. Pretending to be a middle of the road, centrist. But blatantly left on every position.
Look at coverage of trump and Biden from your centrist sites. Not remotely comparable. Kind of like your derangement between the 2. Not remotely comparable.
Me thinks not.
This isn't an arrogant statement: people, in general, do not do enough research; therefore, they take the media as gospel. I will add, I don't believe the MSM is the sole problem; rather, the networks of the MSM have helped create the cultural push into acceptance of stuff that is way on the extremes.
So, if you add one plus one you get two, right?
“they built the country, the reason our economy is growing”
