The Media Never Talks About The Republicans Ongoing Sabotage Of America - Ever

[DanieRains]

Name one thing Republicans have done to help anyone but the insanely rich lately.

Name one thing they have done to help families hurt by Covid.

Name one thing they have done to help Biden limit the spread of Covid.

Zilch.

Their election strategy is literally sabotage the economy and blame Biden when things aren't going smoothly.

Just like they did to Obama.

The media never mentions the in your face sabotage going on.

Wonder why....

[DanieRains]

1. I Mean Of Course Since The Slobfather Left Office

They were pouring money into every hole propping up TFG's ongoing nightmare, and super spreader events.

2. And look at the families/structures owning/controlling the media. The media gets the

agendas, and with some leeway had best follow it. Basically, good things for the country and the people are fucked by the corrupt GOP and their media mouthpieces. This, well may result in the US being a bunch of knuckle-draggers at some point in the future. Corporations where I've worked, for example, that had their pet GOP type corrupt politicians/managers come in, bullying there away around, well, a number of these corporations are no longer in business, doomed by their inane thought processes, dragging the company to the bottom. Money for us, none for you. And screw the customer for gross profits. F, it's the same thing over and over again ... but now, I think, worse than ever. Plus, the internet capability to pump propaganda to the moronic idiot factor of the US, you know, trump butt-licker types that vote on command.

3. Because they are part of it. They gain from it.

It's why we turned it all off 17 yrs ago

[RKP5637]

4. Absolutely ... and all the money donated going to the media. Now, politicians are gauged by

how much money they have accumulated to pay off the media. What a gauge. It's all, really, a pile of crap!

5. Let me play Devil's Advocate...

COVID is infectious but not significantly fatal (currently 0.2% of the population). Lockdowns and restrictions have damaged the economic health of small businesses and put low income people out of work. Republicans are supporting the economy by allowing economic activity to continue.

[TheRealNorth]

12. But that risk is not shared equally....

Low-income service workers bore the burden of that risk. Combined with the fact that they will not receive as good of medical care.

[TheRealNorth]

13. Plus, you would think that small.business....

Would be on the front line trying to promote masking and vaccines. In order to keep the economy open. But it is often the exact opposite, in my experience.

[LowerManhattanite]

17. 840,000 Americans whose voices have been forever stilled...

…would challenge “not significantly fatal”.

But they can’t. ‘Cause they’re dead.

[KPN]

18. WTF? So 800,000+ people dead is no big deal?

Do I understand you right?

[brooklynite]

19. As I said, I'm playing Devil's Advocate

MOST people don't know someone who's died, so how do you get their support for more restrictive policies?

Have you seen any sign that citizens of Texas, Florida, Ohio, Alabama are resisting State policies?

[KPN]

21. So exactly what is your point and how would you go about

squaring things up aside from saying GOTV which as a mantra for 45 plus years really hasn’t dependably worked?

[brooklynite]

23. I'm responding to the OP saying Republicans haven't done anything for the people...

...by pointing out that a lot of people may see less restrictive COVIC policies as desirable.

What you and I think is irrelevant.

[KPN]

24. So it sounds like you think we have and had nothing to do with that?

It’s the people’s fault? Is that what you are saying?

[onecaliberal]

6. Because they're part it. They're helping the coup.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

7. China has a command economy. America has a command mass media. Both are controlled

by the super elite, both protect themselves.

The incredible comparative silence they have given us compared to the evil of an attempted coup in America is evidence of their complicity in my book.

[abqtommy]

8. I don't wonder about most of the World Media. Here in the U.S. they're just doing what

they're paid to do. And that doesn't include supporting Truth and Freedom.

[KPN]

20. And as they say, "The best government money can buy." Need look no further (though you could and

legitimately in my view) than Manchin and Sinema. We get what we pay for, and in this case most of us can’t pay enough.

Capitalism run amok, that’s what this is. It’s not sustainable, but right now, too many don’t recognize it … and a lot of them fall prey to fear-mongering … which is accommodated by the media.

9. "(currently 0.2% of the population)."

I guess that's moving away from the disproven "1% of those who get infected."

[heckles65]

10. "Lockdowns and restrictions have damaged the economic health of small businesses and put low income"

One only needs to look at Brazil to see how the "let's ignore it it's just the flu" approach worked out. The gangs in the favelas wound up enforcing the restrictions the government opted not to do.

[madeup64]

14. Or the effect Covid running rampant has on inflation

The cognitive dissonance it must take to dismiss that all the people dying from covid or getting sick from covid and the immense stress our healthcare system has been placed under have no effect on our economy. Or the fact that millions of older workers have retired early or have left the workforce due to fear of dying from Covid is the biggest driver for the labor shortages which are pretty small businesses the most because they don't have the ability to increase pay like big companies do.

You are to kind with your Brazil rebuttal. Call that comment what it is, a right-wing bs talking point.

[Hekate]

11. No one? Ever? Really?

[Celerity]

25. +1

[Evolve Dammit]

15. It's definately not a "liberal bias" but a GOP bias. And you are correct about what they don't cover

[ancianita]

16. Media play Ice Cream Politics

And Bullshit Argument

[FakeNoose]

22. The media never mentions the ongoing sabotage

... because they all work for a living, and their bosses won't let them talk about it.

With very few exceptions ... and I believe Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell are 2 people who do get a pass. But the regular TV journalists, no. They have to please the boss, they have to promote the "horserace" even when there isn't one. Their paychecks depend on it, and they're making too much money to not play along.

However some are complicit and totally agree with lying to the public. The Faux Noise people Hannity and Carlson, and a few others, come to mind. Rush Limbaugh was the original liar and hater who became a multi-millionaire of course. They all want to be like him.
