The media is overwhelming corrupt!

Every single one of our problems can be traced to the corrupt media. Even education idoctrination can be fought better with a better media. The corruption is overwhelming but we can’t just roll over and die.

Complaining is all we ever do. We do not fight. We do not organize. We do not brainstorm ways around. We do not attempt take overs or boycotts or anything. We just whine. Voting is not enough.

Stop whinning. Stop complaining. Start getting organized. Start fighting. Or die.

In 2013, news outlets much more discredited

Fox News: Trust 41 % / Do not trust 46%
NBC: Trust 39% / Do not trust 42%
MSNBC: Trust 35% / Do no trust 44%
CBS: Trust 34% / Do not trust 43%

Liberal media has less power now than it did in the 80′s.

I wasn’t old enough to have a good frame of reference of media bias vis-a-vis 1980,84, but I do know that the electorate has become lazier and more disengaged, which makes their propaganda an easier sell.

I think we’ll have enough numbers in midterms to slow them down for awhile since our voters don’t think elections are only held in presidential years. But, I really worry about the current trajectory.

For someone not old enough to remember 1984, your analysis is sharp. The current trajectory is worrying and concern, but potentially fixable. The main difference in media from the Reagan era to now is on the conservative side — back then Reaganites and WFB/National Review, etc. debated conservative ideas. The liberal media is actually not too different… they had Dan Rather lying back then, and Steve Croft lying now. Nowadays, the conservative media just signs off on whatever the GOP tells them to without debating it (see amnesty).

And it was cared about 100% as a complete debacle by Hillary and Obama, regardless of the pro-Democrat media and others’ attempts to salvage Obama 2012 and Clinton 2016.

If it were possible to trade talk radio & Fox News for the entire Hollywood/TV/newspaper axis now firmly under control of the left, we would in a second. Conversely, no liberal would ever make that trade.

Your president covered up a terrorist attack, aided and abetted by his ideological bedfellows in the media, while an innocent man is imprisoned for doing nothing…and you celebrate.

I’d love for lester and his kiddie groping ilk to contact the families of the four victims and repeat a fraction of the bilge they dump here. I triple-dog-dare them.

Tens of millions of Americans cared and continue to care about it. Only in the protect-Democrats-at-all-costs world do tens of millions of Americans equal “no one.”

It was cared about 95% as a way to attack Obaama for the election and make him look weak. It didn’t work as the majority of American voters didn’t see Benghazi as Obama’s fault nor a huge deal.

I thought about it, but let’s be honest, even your list isn’t even nearly complete.

No kidding. It’s really scary. But the monopolies on the media and education are the most frightening. The Left has been working on this for 75 years–creating low information voters and keeping them that way.
