NBC,CNN,MSNBC are as bad as Goebbels's false propaganda in Nazi Germany*

I watched a Good Morning America piece on the protests (just for amusement) and I didn't see one of those ugly disgusting signs that WVU82 posted for us. All of that bilge was carefully omitted from their report in favor of little kids wearing cute pink "beanies" and signs with the the Statue of Liberty on them calling to "protect our rights"
The reporter never once mentioned specifically what they were protesting, or which policy Trump advocated that removed their "rights". It was edited and presented as simply a massive international movement for Women against Trump.
No bias to see here. Just "lying with the Truth".
Oh there was a rally all right, and there were indeed thousands of Women in attendance...but after that, the impression you come away with after viewing that story and what actually is at issue here is like looking at a picture of Venus compared to Mars.
If you remember the Tea Party protests, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC showed the VERY few ugly signs to try and paint the entire Tea Party as racists, homophobes, xenophobes, etc. Their newscasts did the same thing. Repeating over and over again the same lies.
Now, the tables have turned. No ugly signs from yesterday. Only glory and amazement with the marchers. When BLM marchers should death to pigs, we're told they don't really represent BLM. When Trump protestors carried Mexican flags while burning and looting, we were told that Trump's xenophobia and racism made them do it.
As I have posted on this board for many months, the media is not biased, they are corrupt. This is planned and executed to ensure they only report what they want Americans to see and how they want Americans to feel.
Absolutely correct PAX. You will not see any of those disgusting signs. You will not even hear the specific policy proposals Trump is advocating that will remove "rights" from Women. It's all being reported as this massive outpouring of resistance against Trump, and no matter what he says that's the way it will always be reported.
Let’s be honest. If Trump gets to stack the SCOTUS deck, Roe v. Wade will be reversed.
They are in total denial about what they do. One would think they would have learned something when Trump won the election. Madonna,Cher,Michael Moore,Yoko Ono and Ashely Judd are the faces of America? What a bunch of idiots.
Since you are a lefty, you will never trust Fox. The rest of cable is out (not to be trusted). ABC, CBS, and NBC are out. Never trust anything the A/P has to say. I would start to read the Economist which is pretty neutral. CSPAN is good. The financial publications are pretty fair. The Wall Street Journal for example has liberal hard news and conservative opinion pages. Read it to get both perspectives.
I hope so, it is/was a terrible ruling.
Cajuneer no civilized society would support what goes on in these Abortion mills. this is why it is sanitized and the names are changed in the media to hide what it actually is.
The reason the Left doesn't want it reported accurately is because they understand that the moment just one Abortion is revealed in all of its ugly reality, the American people would rise up in unison and demand and end to this barbarism against innocent Babies.
"intact dilation and extraction" is never reported for what it actually is. A newborn's brain being suctioned out from its collapsed skull. They'll get mad at anyone who describes what that horrific procedure is, but they won't get mad at the folks who are actually doing it.
What's scary is the Trump campaign did such a good job of dividing and initiating anger and outrage, that someone patriotic, informed, engaged, and inquisitive like you is practically pulling on your armband and pledging your loyalty before he even takes office. Not in support of our new leader, but rather in ill will of his enemies. Might not be long until liberals are literally taken in the night and locked up without due process...I wonder how many on this board would protest if that actually happened
You’re not under the mistaken impression that’s I’m pro-abortion, are you? I don’t even believe in the exceptions.
I read the Journal. The Guardian is my go to these days. Business Insider usually is flattering of Trump (theyvshowed the same pics of the crowds yesterday)
I didn't hear anyone on the Left "protesting" the violence and anarchy those project Veritas undercover videos revealed over how anti-Trump protesters were planning to gas attendees and commit other acts of violence at the various inaugural balls. I didn't hear any Left protests over the threats Black Lives Matter protesters were making, openly advocating for the assassination of Police. No one on the Left condemned threats to assassinate Trump, or blow up the White house.
Only people on the right advocate violence against those who disagree with them. The Left you will always find is kind, considerate, compassionate, tolerant, civil, respectful, and accommodating of all opposing views.
Boom, you are GREATLY exaggerating. The fact of the matter is that Dems have run on "Identity politics" for a long, long time. Do you know how many times GOP candidates have been called racists? Homophobes? Xenophobes? Even Mitt Romney, a good and decent man without a bigoted bone in his body was accused of all these things.
Obama ran just such campaigns pitting one group against another. And he governed that way. Marginalizing police while inviting BLM to the White House. Accusing anyone who wanted border security of being anti-immigrant.
Look at history. Whites have been trending away from Dems for a long time. This year, the dam broke. Why? Because Trump ran a populist campaign and finally brought over those white union workers that always voted Dem in OH, PA, MI and WI.
I support Trump's policies, at least most of them. I don't like his thin skin, his egotism, his lack of self control. And I hope and pray he uses twitter on policy issues only and stays away from the personal.
And think about this Boom. Obama has already taken away due process rights and I don't remember any liberal on this board complaining. He used Title IX to threaten universities across this country to set up their own tribunals to investigate and judge "sexual assault." Quite often the accused is not allowed to have an attorney. Not permitted to see the "evidence" against him. Not allowed to question the accuser or even face his accuser. And the punishment, expelled from school. Many, many lawsuits have been filed. Even Harvard law professors wrote a letter to the Provost of Harvard demanding he now engage in these kinds of "witch trials" and that he defend due process.
If you really want unbiased news, you have to read the Journal's opinion section as well. Their hard news is left. But their opinion is right, although they were NEVERTRUMPers. They hated Trump and likely still do. They love open borders and free trade, for example. I don't read the Guardian so I can't comment. The Christian Science Monitor is pretty fair as well.
I would not enjoy the purging of non Americans. You'r the one making ridiculous statements like "pulling on your armband" and "purging".
The hypocrisy of someone on the left accusing anyone on the right of divisive politics is beyond the pale.
Oh no Cajuneer not at all. I've read your posts, I know you don't favor infanticide like most on the Left argue for...they just don't admit that's what they're advocating. It's all about a woman's right to choose.
So I ask choose what? They respond, "to do with my body what I please".
OK, is the Baby you're deciding to kill your body?
"You're just a sexist, misogynistic, racist, bigoted, homophobic, hateful religiously intolerant Hitler!!!!!!
Really? Because I think that precious innocent little Baby you "choose" to destroy deserves a chance to live?
Got it.
Sexual assault on college campuses is a national crisis. But I don't accept the elimination of due process in any situation (including suspected terrorists at Gitmo). Identity politics is one thing, whipping up rage is another. I also reject your accusation that Obama abandoned police, he feels BLM has a legitimate voice (I do as well).
But I of course was exaggerating. But this fake news stuff is getting scary....people need to step back and look at it. The liberal label today is becoming the communist label of the 50's.
I'm not reading anything with religion in the title Paxx, come on, obvious bias. I read the Journals opinion pieces as well.
I honestly believe that most non-political liberals don't pay enough attention to see the identity politics strategy. They think it is about liberal governance. They don't realize that when Obama "transformed" on gay marriage, it was entirely because of politics, same with Hillary. They purposely use the term anti immigrant if anyone talks about securing the border. They know how dangerous an open border is in times of terror, but they want the votes. So they openly court hispanics with promises of amnesty, citizenship, and open borders. Hillary made a speech in Brazil promising open borders. They lionize BLM at the expense of law enforcement because they desperately need 95% of the black vote. Obama takes the side of Michael Brown and Treyvon Martin before the facts are known because they want that 95%. They punish the Little Sisters of the Poor, take them to court, to secure the pro abortion vote. Think about it. They sue the Little Sisters of the Poor. OMG.
You say you are open minded boomer and I believe that. The Christian Science Monitor is not a "religious" publication. It is one of the finest non partisan sources of raw information reporting available in mass distribution. They do the "Journalism" most folks in the main stream news media were supposedly trained in J school to do.
The CSM is informative, unbiased, thorough, enterprising, and entertaining if you enjoy information from a variety of sources. You should endeavor to read it boom, it is a very well respected publication.
Boom, they even lie to you about the percentages of real sexual assault on campuses. An independent study was done and found women slightly more likely to be raped if they weren't a college student than if they were. Sexual assault has been defined so broadly that almost any touching, even innocent touching can be construed as sexual assault. Thus that survey that proports to provide evidence of 25% of campus females are sexually is bogus in the extreme. Boom, I have 5 daughters so I would greatly lean toward extra precaution. But the survey that shows the 25% figure is absolutely bogus.
As for Gitmo, I think they should be tried before a military tribunal. They are POW's, so technically they are not entitled to that kind of trial. But this is a different kind of war. And if they had military tribunals, Obama could not release them as easily.
Do you not see the left whipping up rage? Did you not see the riots? Did you not see the property destruction? Did you not see the looting? Did you not see the assassination of police officers across this country? Boom, where have you been living?
Christian Science Monitor is not about religion. It has only one religious article that you can avoid. But their news coverage, which dominates the publication, is balanced.
The difference: when have you ever hear a political figure on the left advocating violence? You use words like THEY and LYING as if you have either some obvious connection to true stats or legitimate proof of a massive nation-wide liberal conspiracy aimed at controlling the American public through misinformation and political strongarming, yet my fear of Trumps attempts to do the same are "ridiculous".
BLM is all about votes. Angry youth in the streets is all about leftist-liberal aggressive policy. Open boarders (meaning trade and controlled immigration) is all about votes. You're full of conspiracy theories yourself.
Boom, I gave you proof and you dismiss it. That's fine. If you think Obama and Hillary siding with BLM over the police wasn't about politics, then nothing I can say will ever change your mind. If you think Hillary's promise of open borders during a time of terrorism wasn't about politics and the hispanic vote, nothing I can say will change that. If you think Obama suing the Little Sisters of the Poor, Notre Dame, etc. is not about capturing the abortion vote, then I can't help you. BTW, Obama knew the courts would strike those rules down, which they did.
Boom, all you have to do is google "Identity politics." It has been a Dem political strategy for a long, long time and they thought because of demographics it would lead to permanent majorities for them. That is dividing the country, not uniting the country. Remember when Obama famously said there is no red America, no blue America, there is only America. Great words. But his actions were completely different. As he famously told Paul Ryan, we won, you lost. This is not some silent strategy. The Dems are open about it.
One last thing Boom. Do conservatives riot? Do conservatives loot? Did conservatives conspire for violence during the Obama inauguration? Do conservatives use violence to stop speakers on campus from speaking? A man attending a conservative speaking event at Washington University was shot during a violent protest just yesterday. It has been proven that protestors have been paid by Democrats to disrupt Trump events. You really need to read more.
Just one small example:

Dream on, Alice. It has been the law of the land for 45 years.
Take your meds. Seriously, something has happened to you. You are usually somewhat lucid.
Country, you may be wrong on this one, at least in terms of impact. If Trump appoints just 2 justices that are "strict constructionists" as he has pledged, then restrictions on abortion may well pass constitutional muster. I can think of several. The first is the 20 week restriction. The second is the infant pain restriction. The third are restrictions on doctors that don't have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. The fourth may involved restrictions on clinics that don't comply with basic requirements of all other surgical clinics. The fifth might redefine health vs. danger to the life of the mother. Today, health is included so that a woman can have an abortion at any time as long as her "health" is in danger. That health loop hole is so large as to be meaningless. It can be economic health, mental health, etc. I think SCOTUS would well take away that loophole.
Roe was wrongly decided as even Ruth Ginsberg acknowledges. But I don't think it will be completely overturned, but could be wrong.
The radio ads here in Atlanta during the campaign were all about "Republicans want to take away our right to vote" or "if Trump's elected, we could lose everything we've fought so hard for since Dr. King fought for and secured our civil rights"
Never mind that Black citizen's "civil rights" were already codified in the Constitution, and the 1964 Civil Rights Act simply more clearly defined how those rights would be protected under the Law.
Trump's strategy for dealing with chronic unemployment and underemployment among Black youth (which spiraled under Obama) is to foster public/private business partnerships with outreach groups like CORE (Congress on Racial Equality) 100 Black Businessmen, the Philip Randolph Institute, AABE (American Association of Blacks in Energy) AHBAI (American Health and Beauty Aids Institute) BAE (Black Agency Executives) and a host of others too numerous to list here, to build strategies and consensus towards addressing the issues needed to increase work skills, attitudes, and develop business opportunities for minority youth and Black owned and operated enterprises. Here is the entire list of outreach groups:
http://www.tnj.com/lists-resources/black-organizations-and-organizations-serving-black-communities
Dr. Ben Carson (nominee for HUD Secretary) will spearhead many of these initiatives, and through uses of strategies such as tax free enterprise zones, relaxation of capital requirements for small community lending institutions, venture capital outreaches among private investors to create funding mechanisms for minority owned businesses, and a variety of other training and education outreaches to both educate and inspire Blacks to become self-sufficient in the free market economy.
All of this outreach is not only exciting, but it is anathema to the Left, which does not want to see Blacks owning their own businesses or creating their own economic futures without Democrat party politicians pulling the strings.... the exact "identity politics" PAX has mentioned, which Democrats use to control the 95% Black vote they are guaranteed. Mark my words, they will oppose ALL of these admirable outreach initiatives because if they are successful, it will mean an end to Democrat monopoly of the Black vote.
Now you Leftists can not believe what either I or PAX are saying about how your side operates when it comes to race and gender, but ask yourselves... do you see ANY support among the Democrats or anyone on the Left for any of these initiatives that do not involve more Government spending or social programs?
When you find them, post it.
What you will more easily find that you will probably also eagerly post, is their continued use of these exact identity politics & tactics to divide along racial lines, and call racial bigotry out against anyone who does not support their Big Government social agenda to keep Blacks dependent on Democrat handouts and Black votes for Left wing Democrats.
