Do You Think the Commercial Media Is Corrupt? Unfair? Biased?

[Hortensis]

10. Yes, we KNOW many are corrupt and biased, AP, NYT, CNN, MSNBC.

Many others are also working to keep Republicans in power and grow that power.

This has been studied, measured, analyzed, reported on, peer reviewed. Some specific names of major and minor actors have been revealed, like Dean Baquet, the NYT executive editor. Plus, some actions by the media I named around the 2016 election (as our victories apparently caused many to put their careers and reputations on the line) were so blatant that no study was needed to reveal them.

Such as the 100% corrupt NYT article a week before the election informing the nation that the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation had found nothing of significance and implying it was wrapping up, when it was actually a major operation with hundreds of agents assigned.

Or the AP article and post card (those big black squares that pop up on the screen) they blanketed the nation with that claimed numbers to prove Hillary as SoS required donations to the Clinton Foundation from foreign dignitaries if they wanted to meet with her. The numbers were so blatantly phony that it wasn't up a half hour before the uproar began. The AP left it all out there on hundreds of millions of computers, in almost every newspaper in the nation, for either 10 days or 2 weeks.

But real numbers calculated for the all-day/every day biased coverage and outright smears of Democrats, especially our presidential candidates, from these outlets are published in scholarly papers.

We see the results here every day in people whose faith in Democrats has been destroyed, who in spite of all they should know have no idea who we really are or what we really stand for. The bombardment of lies is that old and that constant. We saw it in the children who cheered in theaters when aliens blew up the White House 25 years ago, many of whom don't vote because "both parties do it." (Bernie Sanders)

And while we're on the subject, candidates who feed off this massive deceit about us, notably including populist leaders Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, owe most of their success to corrupt media using them to affirm their own deceptions, disinformation and outright lies about the Democratic Party.

As for what we can do, we can start soaking up more reliable information, especially about who we are and what we believe in, reliably demonstrated by our accomplishments, and stop soaking up lies. If you know it's a dirty source, don't open it or turn it on. If you know it's a dirty candidate, turn him off, close articles promoting lies for him, and cut off his access to you.
