Media Matters 1

This item serves as a warning about our very corrupt mainstream media repeating the sins of their past. Quote: "American media have come full circle. Newspapers, among the only media in Colonial times, were highly partisan, and truth was not a priority.  Today, newspaper and TV media have returned to that point."  And,  "Most papers now concentrate on their digital editions, and printed papers are almost an afterthought. In the meantime, objectivity steadily had lost ground, which unquestionably was a contributing factor.  In 2016, the media dropped all pretense of it, for the most part, and have been on a rampage since then.  Several networks such as CNN and MSNBC conduct a virtual 24/7 rant against the president — and with him capitalism, conservatism, Christianity, and other aspects of traditional American culture, no matter the cost in viewership."  And,  "But as the media giants consolidate, and objectivity shrinks, the same concerns that arose 75 years ago are being revived. Those in the media might want to consider the warning from the Hutchins Commission: No democracy will indefinitely tolerate concentration of private power, irresponsible and strong enough to thwart the democratic aspirations of the people.  If these giant agencies of communication are irresponsible, not even the First Amendment will protect their freedom from government control.  The Amendment will be amended. When you hear talk today of curbs on the media, consider this background.  It is largely a self-imposed problem."     https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/04/the_demise_of_media_objectivity.html

The item exposes the lack of ethics and rank self serving propaganda efforts undertaken by the left wing mainstream media. And it only deals with items since the beginning of 2019. Quote: "I used to laugh every time I heard someone like Elon Musk say that we are living in a Matrix-like simulation. These days, not so much. Don't call the funny farm just yet. On the major question of the nature of sense experience, I remain with Aristotle and against Bishop Berkeley. Matter is real. But there is also the question of how we perceive "the news"; how established media institutions present and frame information; how we are supposed to respond to the "takes" purportedly expert and knowledgeable voices serve up to us by the second on social media. And here, I'm skeptical. It's hard not to be. Think of the headlines we've encountered since the beginning of this year."  And,  "As the influence of establishment media outlets has waned, their attempts to control the narrative have intensified. The cable networks and major print outlets have become more politicized, not less, as social media and streaming video make it much easier to expose hoaxes and puncture holes in the received wisdom. The Sentinels who protect the liberal media matrix are vigilant against thoughtcrime, they anathematize dissent, but they are less interested in the canons of professional journalism, such as presenting both sides of a story and refraining from baseless speculation. Right now they are heralding Ilhan Omar for her courage, turning Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez into the flag-bearer of the Democratic Party, and confident that no matter the opposition Trump will be defeated. Best be skeptical. As with all the other bogus stories, reality will make itself felt in the end. It always does."      https://freebeacon.com/columns/the-liberal-media-matrix/?

Facebook co-founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg is in deep trouble for repeated transgressions. Quote: "Often, the FTC does not target executives in cases where it finds a company’s business practices have violated web users’ privacy. But critics said that targeting Zuckerberg could send a message to other tech giants that the agency is willing to hold top executives directly accountable for their firms’ repeated data misdeeds. “The days of pretending this is an innocent platform are over, and citing Mark in a large scale enforcement action would drive that home in spades,” said Roger McNamee, an early investor in the company and one of Zuckerberg's foremost critics."    https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/04/19/federal-investigation-facebook-could-hold-mark-zuckerberg-accountable-privacy-sources-say/?
This is happening just as so many of us predicted.    https://www.factsnotmemes.com/articles/leftist-media-suddenly-changes-its-tune-about-robert-mueller/

If anyone does not believe the left wing mainstream media and politicians are more interested in destroying the country fostering hate against white people and almost everything else then they have not been paying attention. This piece provides a brief tutorial on this hate filled behavior which is as un-American as anyone can be.    https://www.americanlibertyreport.com/articles/proof-that-mainstream-media-is-pushing-racial-division/

The folks at MSNBC are insane and have noting better to do than dream up negative things to say about Trump.  They are amongst the most hateful crew, along with CNN, in the media business.  They are more interested in trying to destroy the president with fake news than they are in reporting legitimate news.  They are a big, big problem fostering hate rather than doing their jobs.    https://www.libertyvideonews.com/msnbc-claims-that-trump-is-guilty-of-workplace-violence/

This item extends the conversation in the previous item. Quote: "Ever since the Mueller report was released and collusion theorist Democrats have been proven certifiably goofy, we haven’t seen the sunrise of Democrat sanity that we thought we would. Rather than apologizing for smearing the President over the last two years or admitting that they were wrong, they have… can you guess? They have doubled down on all of the Russia stuff. Yeah, we know. It’s exasperating."  And,  "The last time the wingnut media was anything close to contrite was in late November of 2016 when the New York Times apologized for being dead wrong about polling numbers prior to the election. They said that they owed it to their readers and to voters to do better, to dig deeper, and to be more honest. That was the last time a mainstream media outlet outlet told the truth. Since then, it’s been BS all the way…and there’s no sign of them stopping."   https://www.freedomnewsreport.com/2019/04/04/the-medias-weird-scheme-to-keep-the-mueller-report-alive/

Maybe this will wake up the oppressive dictatorial censors that now control social media.  Honest Americans are rightfully fed up with Left Wing political correctness and shutting down access or even discussion of anything they do not like. They are left wing control freaks and demand everyone kowtow to their whims no matter how ridiculous, dishonest, unethical, unscientific or whatever.  We need to wish this new Social Media platform all the very best at restoring common decency, respect, openness and free and open dialogue for a change.  https://freedomoutpost.com/new-social-media-site-launches-designed-for-americanism-not-globalism/

This is just a small picture of how bad our left wing mainstream journalists performed over at least the past two years.  Most of them are complete failures at their jobs but are likely too arrogant to understand how little respect most of us have for them.  Quote: "Attorney General William Barr told Congress Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller did not find collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, destroying two years of media speculation and bad reporting. The obsession to prove collusion has dampened the media’s journalistic abilities, leading to a seemingly endless list of corrections, retractions and apologies. In light of Mueller concluding his investigation, we’ve compiled a list of some of the worst media screwups in the history of Russia theories."    https://dailycaller.com/2019/03/25/media-russia-collusion-mueller-report-fake-news/     The truth is that the left wing media is so biased we cannot believe most everything they say. 
We the people should get really worried when Democrats agree with suggestions unethical elitists liken Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg make.  He wants federal government oversight rules governing social media that do not match what most people would agree with.  But, way too many Democrats want to officially censor any thought that they do not agree with.  And that is exactly what Zuckerberg and his fellow social media kingpins want the government to do for them.  It is a Left wing socialist arrangement made in the name of Karl Marx.   https://constitutionalrightspac.com/articles/we-should-worry-when-zuckerberg-dems-start-agreeing
