The MSM Is A GOP Protection Racket - They Skew Everything To Protect The GOP

It will be hard to change things as long as the MSM GOP protection racket is allowed to continue to do its dirty work. Democrats are unable to get their message out because they are left out of most national news and political programs. If they are on they are punching bags and outnumbered by GOPPERS and conservatives or obviously biased hosts. When they talk they get talked over while the host keeps quiet unless a GOPPER is talking.

The news and information is distorted, twisted, and even manufactured without rebuttal. GOP propaganda is allowed to be spewed and put out without any questioning no matter how ridiculous, absurd or non factual it is. Complete over the top lies go totally unchallenged. GOP policies are praised and progressive policies are dissed.

Important stories that hurt the GOP go uncovered or ignored deliberately. Stories that do get reported disappear instantly. Stories that hurt Democratic and progressive causes are repeated ad infinitum 24/7.

Anything that helps workers get trashed, criticized or attacked viciously. GOPPERS are portrayed as god loving and country loving families value patriots. Democrats, progressives, protesters are portrayed as thugs, anarchists, dirty red commies who hate the flag and country and are athiests who hate business, capitalists, family values etc etc etc.

It has never been this bad in the media and it looks like it will get worse.

Just goes to show how well their branding works. They refuse to say 'Democratic Party' correctly but so many on the left will compliment them by calling them the GOP.

'The media is the massage' of the mind and how we see things.

And the media is the tool of the billionaires to make more billions. So brazen, impossible to miss.


Thanks for putting it out here where everyone can consider this.
