The Media Is Conspiring To Help GOP Discredit Protesters. They Are Allowing The Lies To Go Forward.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Protesters should be going after the media as well. Based on some of the reporting on the protests that I see, they are comparing the backlash to nutcase teabaggers, paid protesters, disgruntled communists, socialist and Democrats et al. They are allowing GOP lies to go forward without challenge.

My God the media is really fucked up big time.

1. MSM is a useless cesspit of ratings beggars. I for one an through with them.

Ill read and form my own opinions.

2. And I got trashed 3x in another thread

for saying I will trust the media has 'turned the corner' when I really see it.

It is all about clicks $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ with very, very rare exceptions.

6. Yeah but the MSM is far more credible than fake news or fox, breitbart

That is a simple statistical fact.

If we demean the free press to the point where nothing can be believed, we lose.

10. See what I mean?

That's like saying the NBA all stars are better than the Antarctica all stars.

3. I'm wondering if the mefia believes it because of

Some protestors holding identical printed signs. I think homemade signs look more authentic, even if a protest organizer is helping to supply materials.

4. That is why I fired CNN, MSNBC, fox, CNBC from coming into my house by down grading my

satellite service to essentially receiving only the locals.

5. Really the media is "conspiring" huh? Hmmm wonder who that sounds like.

7. The GOP broke the press during Clinton's impeachment.

They finished the job this year by putting Breitbart in the government and Infowars in the WHPC. We need to get to work fixing it.

8. Did you really expect anything different?

9. Excellent point, MasterNemesis. Some in the press belatedly

realized that by breathlessly and uncritically hyping every Wiki leaks or e-mailgate "revelation," they were being played by Putin as well as the RNC. If they aren't demanding credible evidence for the allegations that the protesters are being paid, or for Dolt45's blatant lies about millions of fraudulent votes, or reporting accurately about the protests, they have learned nothing and are again doing a grave disservice to the nation.

12. I Just Don't See The MSM Debunking The GOP Lies About Protesters. That Gives Cover For The GOP.

In a way they are trying to placate Trump & the GOP about being phony news.

[TrekLuver]

13. I've seen them interviewing people and asking are you getting paid? No I'm a nurse etc..etc..

They have said that there is no proof of people getting paid. What proof can we give to prove that people aren't getting paid. Shouldn't the people making these ridiculous assertions provide some proof that it occurred?

Just today I saw coverage how this is dangerous for the GOP to think these people are paid to go to town halls and "aren't real". This mentality has a real possibility of backfiring on them. I am hoping they will go after SS and Medicaid...please please do...they will all be gone.

14. The fact that they are trying to discredit us means that we are getting under their skin.

Fuck what they say and persist!
