Let's not pretend the likes of The New York Times and CNN are any more reliable than RT. Most of the people working at the New York Times and CNN, for example, just pump out whatever the DNC tells them to. Hence Donna Brazille left CNN because we found out how she sneaked questions to Hilary.
Oh fuck off, that is like saying the Washington Post during Watergate and Nixon was a left wing conspiracy rag.
It isn't a fucking conspiracy. I would only say that news media DOES spend too much time chasing ratings but that is not a conspiracy in as much it is that businesses seek to sell add space and controversy sells.
The CEOs of CNN and cable and network news are economic conservatives. It is unfortunately why MSNBC has gutted most of it's sane staff and put morons like Joe on in the morning. Being liberal isnt a slur or a crime. It was LIBERAL ideas that got women the right to vote. It was liberal ideas that ended segregation. It was liberal ideas that gained LGBT the right to marry.
The GOP of Lincoln were liberals, the GOP we see today are a product of the "southern strategy" which caused the parties to flip. Trump is simply a product of old fucking assholes who don't want to face that time is passing them by.
The only thing my party can be accused of for the past 36 years is not having enough of a backbone to stand up to the real corporate welfare queens and the backwoods thinking dark age far right.
Our voters gave up when Reagan successfully busted the airline unions, and since then we have sucked at turnout in both even and odd years and only manage to win a majority a fraction of that same time. The presidency in that 36 years has only been held by dems 16 of those years. And in that same time dems have only had all three branches a FRACTION of that 36 years. The GOP has a majority of state houses and governors and has had that since they started their lopsided gerrymandering.
I am sick of the right painting liberals as commies or anti private sector. I am equally sick at some painting both parties as the same. HUGE difference between politicians and voters ideas. There is NOTHING wrong with taxing the rich, that is fucking bullshit to call it robbery. Regulations are why car companies GET RICH selling safety features like air bags seat belts anti lock breaks. Regulations are what SHOULD keep led out of water. Regulations being violated are why Toyota and VW can be sued AND SHOULD BE SUED.
If always letting the rich do what they want, there would be no need for voting because nobody would be complaining. If letting the rich do what they want all the time never hurt anyone we would never have had Bush's triple whammy crash. Trump is running for that same party, and whatever short term feel good his voters might feel now, will simply end up in a future crash in 4 or 8 years depending.
It is media's job to be our watchdog, but media right now, the major networks and cable news need to do what the New York Times is rightfully doing. They need to go back to what the Washington Post did in nabbing Nixon. I wish the Networks and cable news WERE liberal like they once were, Trump never would have gotten as far as he did. That asshole said he would not involve himself in family business but vilified Norstrom for doing what every FREE MARKET business has the right to do, and not because they were wrong, but Trump REALLY is acting like the Nepotist he really is. Trump Jr as well as Kellyanne Conway also unethically using their positions to promote cronyism and family nepotism. On top of Trump STILL not doing what the IRS says he can do any time he wants and release his taxes.
I wish most media were that liberal, but corporate media isn't doing what NYT or Washington post are but they should. OUR national security and republic depend on it.
