    She actually believes it is the job of the media to "control exactly what people think".

    There you go Liberals straight from a Liberal source. It is what we have been telling you for decades. They are set on brainwashing you. Is it working?

    I've always contended, it is easy to be a Liberal. All they have to do is follow what the Mainstream media tells them. This includes TV Shows and Hollywood. Just be a sheep, because that message receives no critical examination, no real debate. It is how we grew a crop of Socialists / Globalists that is against what this country was founded on.

    This seems to be racing around the typical alt-right fake news sites.

    How is it that video of someone saying something is "fake news"?

    This is directly from the woman's mouth and you attack the source? You try to cry "racism" with your "alt-right" distraction?

    Thanks for the fail post. I see you using the left wing media talking points. Isn't that what they want you to do? Gruber was right.

    Yep. The MSM have always smuggly thought of themselves as public opinion makers/shapers. Of course their influence has been steadily waning which culminated in American people showing them a big fat middle finger on November 8th.

    They're humiliated, terrified and horrified now, all their subsequent doubling down, hatred, fake news, anti-Trump hysteria is the behavior of a mortally wounded animal who has no escape and throws everything it has at their enemy (the American people) which is about to finish them off.

    Missed your thread, created my own for the same topic. This is amazing. It's like the Debbie Wassermann Schultz emails. They are so open and brazen about the complicity.

    Amusing, but obviously a poorly-worded point, rather than a statement of intent.

    Not a surprise, but it's still refreshing to hear it actually being said. A fun game I've discovered on this site is pay attention to common buzz words and phrases that are being posted by multiple people all at the same time. A few days ago, "Putin's basement", "Kremlin's basement", and "Russian basement" all appeared at the same time, posted by multiple left-wing posters. I did some searching and found that the term was circling around various left-wing hack and blog sites like thinkprogress, DemocraticUnderground, moveon, Huffpost, and a few others. I'm of the belief that these "daily talking points" are disseminated via email, and the footsoldiers then disseminate them elsewhere on the internet. It's all very coordinated, but also very creepy at the same time.

    Truth. We seem to underestimate the network of disinformation that is the strength of the ground game in the liberal world. If you also watch news stories, you'll see the same dynamic. The "news" is fed from the "source" from which all other outlets distribute. In any other business, this would be called collusion.

    ^^^^ Watch the 1st three minutes. All you need to know when it comes to Media Bias. O'Reilly asked a Liberal Media source the other night to name Conservatives at ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc... with significant roles of power. She failed too.

    Or an inadvertent admission that somehow slipped out in a moment of Freudian candor. What made it "poorly worded" was the frank honesty of it.

    Wow, did MSNBC tell you to think that?

    Those were her words coming out of her own mouth. How does the alt-anything do that?

    Lesse...

    -The media declares Trump a rascist, fascist, bigot, anti-semite...
    - Liberals parrot this ad nauseam.

    Looks like she's right.

    Really??? A trumpster is going to take this position??? How ironic! :roflol:
    Look, the lady didn't seem to be terribly sharp. She was getting hung up and flustered trying to continue the dialog. I wonder if anyone else **cough trump cough** frequently misspeaks while attempting to speak off the cuff? I think the reporter and trump probably are in the same band of the IQ bell curve.

    Why can't we all read Breitbart, watch Faux News, and listen to Rush for 20 years, like you people have? Then we could become cult members in good standing in Trumplandia.

    The job of all media is facts first, opinion 2rd. I don't have a prob with opinion pieces, it's part of a free press. I do have a prob with attempts to weaken the 1st Amendment, like I'm hearing from the Reps.

    Clearly she was right, carbon copy's the lot of them, it explains a lot.

    Fallacy: Ignoratio elenchi, Red herring
    Description: Attempting to redirect the argument to another issue that to which the person doing the redirecting can better respond. While it is similar to the avoiding the issue fallacy, the red herring is a deliberate diversion of attention with the intention of trying to abandon the original argument.

    How, exactly, is anything in this topic an example of this?

    They've done a wonderful job with so many Libs in this forum.

    But they haven't brainwashed me. Look at who the puppet masters are running the MM networks.

    Leftists are the usual suspects when it comes to limiting free speech. They imagine themselves the guardians of truth. Yeah, right.
