Boca BIlls Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) I didn't even realize Anchorman 2 already perfected media coverage. From telling you the news you NEED to hear, Too telling you the news you WANT to hear. Think about it if the media told you nothing but the facts you wouldn't talk about it as much. Yeah, they got everyone eating this ***** up every day in this world we live in. You need to fact check everything, doesn't matter if it is right or wrong the media is going to talk about it. You have a thought, tweet that ***** out before thinking about it! You need more people talking about something just go crazy with it. CNN thread fits this perfectly "GNN" I hate posting on here but to read some of the political thoughts people and the tweets of others or news stories are just entertaining.

Tiberius Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hitler banned the free press. It's the first thing wannabe strongmen try and get rid of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A free press as in a press that will report on anything? Already gone due to the Clinton's and other powerful Dems and Dem supporters. If Trump was the super mensch Nazi lefties made him out to be the MSM would already be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a really ironic post considering that most of the free press loathes trump and he really hasn’t taken any action to get rid of it. One could easily argue that your Hitler/wannabe strongman is likely a Democrat, since the majority of mainstream media outlets are fairly liberal. Calling them fake news isn’t getting rid of the press. Calling them out on BS isn’t squashing them. Trump hasn’t slowed them down at all. He’s either really bad at this Hitler thing, or he’s not doing the Hitler thing at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treaty of Versailles banned guns, long before Hitler was even a Nazi. The Nazis actually loosened Weimar gun restrictions in 1938. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Conservatives have a major communication problem. We need to stop calling these outlets The Mainstream Media. They’re no longer close to being main stream. We need to start calling them Left Wing Media. You’ll only see things change when you use words that better define them.

I often wonder what conservatives would complain about if all news networks did cover both sides equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why I use the term "leftist" instead of "liberal" when describing the more radical elements in the press and the democrat party. 36 minutes ago, Doc Brown said: I often wonder what conservatives would complain about if all news networks did cover both sides equally. I'm not sure how they'd react, but when exactly did we all accept the notion that there were different "sides" to news and information other than "truth" and "lies"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
