    "The Enemy" of what?

    Of Conservatives and the Republican Party? Absolutely, that isn't even debatable.

    But to call anyone "an enemy of the country" wanders into the same nonsense "my way or the highway" ideology battle.

    The Media is very Far Left Progressive, so obviously they hate the Right. That is really all there is to it.

    Again, I'm sorry but I think you are being HYPER naive.

    The MSM is made up of incredibly Far Left persona's so of course they will be "the enemy" of Republicans or anyone on the Ri..... actually, anyone not a Progressive seems to be more accurate.

    Unfortunately this is a team sport and they just aren't on your team

    Dude, seriously, get lost. The thread isn't about.me personally.

    We are trying to have an objective discussion about the media. You can put me on trial in another thread if it makes you feel good.

    So get a load of the New York Times:


    "The New York Times headlined their story “Boys in ‘Make America Great Again’ Hats Mob Native Elder at Indigenous Peoples March”. The Times subsequently replaced the word “Mob” with “Surround”. But that was little better: more extensive footage later emerged that covered the entirety of the altercation, and it showed how it was Phillips who approached you and started banging his drum in your faces."

    [From an open letter to the boys from Sohrab Ahmari, op-ed editor of the New York Post, a contributing editor of the Catholic Herald]

    The New York Times can't do better than this? I thought they were supposed to be one of the world's greatest newspapers, lol. God, we are so doomed. Oh well, we had a pretty good run.

    The liberal media is driving the cart when it comes to separating the Country. If they would shut up with their pitiful comments about "how the Country is so split" we might be able to come together because I don't think we are so divided. I think most of us have commonsense and think for ourselves.

    I wish I could share your optimism, but I don't. I do admit to recalling a video from last year showing how close Rs and Ds are on many issues, so I don't know. I'd rather sit on my butt and gripe about the media, lol.

    Woah there, triggered much?

    You are being the ideologically partisan thing you claim to hate so much, you are acting like your world view is the only world view.

    You called the media "the enemy", so the enemy of what?

    If you didn't think they were the enemy of Republicans, you are hyper naive, as was stated before that triggered you.

    You made point after point after point of how the media attacks the Republican Party, my statement is objective and that calling them "the enemy" does absolutely nothing for any conversation. Calling them "the enemy" of Republicans (which is what you are doing) does make sense.

    Unfortunately for you since you implied "the enemy" based on your viewpoint, you did in fact make the post about you.

    I feel fine thanks for asking, a little worried about you and your blood pressure though.

    Your probably right but the “enemy of the people” is false information right? If so does intent really make a difference? If a person accidentally punches you and another person purposely punches you in both cases bottom line you got punched.

    Who on earth or even Dante's Inferno would one waste a vote
    on some Independent with virtually NO chance of winning a Presidential
    Election.If lucky might get around 1 0r 2% of the vote in select states.
    Like Maine or Vermont.Ross Perot made it possible for Billo Clinton
    to win.With 19 % of the popular vote,it demonstrably swayed the Presidential
    Election of '92 in Clinton's favor.Bernie Sanders,flat out is NOT Presidential
    material.Like some kids aren't college material.I've seen him traipsing around
    at Airports c/o Alex Jones and his cinema verite style of news gathering.
    Sanders is a dopey snob.Refuses to greet people and talk politics.
    Meaning he's a complete Fraud.Who on Earth or in Dante's Inferno
    would want a guy like Sanders as President.A guy who if Nikita Khrushchev
    were around would make mincemeat out of even in July.
    I think Donald Trump could handle a Khrushchev.I doubt some
    tenderfoot like Sanders could handle properly putting on a Lobster bib.

    Not so long ago.It was reported that Andrem Gillum went to
    a Soros Backed school earlier this decade.
    Andrew Gillum, a graduate in 2012 of the Soros-funded
    Rockwood Leadership Institute.The Oakland-based training
    school for Progressive Revolutionaries.
    Soros' own Open Society sent top staff to Rockwood.
    Beneficiaries of this Nefarious-funded Insititute include
    groups such as :
    Media Matters
    MoveOn.org
    Tides Foundation
    as well BlackLivesMatter.

    Trust in the media has fallen from a high of around 70-percent in 1972 to recent HISTORICAL lows of around 30 percent. The media KNOWS THIS yet they don't try to improve accurate reporting. That low level of TRUST is mostly democrat voters.

    Instead, the media has created "fact-checkers" to try and prove themselves to be accurate to the people. Of course the "fact-checkers" are just as politically biased as the media, especially when they say things like, "this is true, but." At that point they are no longer "fact-checkers." They are making an argument instead. And that's not what they say they do.

    Obviously, leftists cannot win elections on the issues. They must brainwash the people. George Orwell wrote about this in his book 1984.

    Why do you think the right is so weak and powerless in the media?

    Why is the right so weak and powerless that it can not create it's own fact checkers?

    Why do the republicans or "right wing" media need to act like the lying liberal media? Because they are successful in keeping their readers INFORMED of the TRUTH.

    The media is subjective because they aren't told enough information so they have to fill in the gaps with speculation and possibles .

    If the government were honest , they would happily have reporters hanging around most of the day reporting . You know , nothing to hide ...

    Agreed. It is an issue for democrat voters that believe every word and lie from the lying liberal media.

    The Trump right can whine all they want, but they are the enemy of better America not the reality press of the MSM.

    You people keep telling yourselves that while your political aspirations keep falling apart. That's how the media brainwashing ends up.

    Gannett just announced layoffs of "journalists" across the country yesterday.
