Let's Talk About Media

[goldfly]

Man, I wonder where they get their “news” from lol

[sturg33]

Everything is white supremacy

Friendly reminder of who this idiot is

Infrastructure hacked, employment report off by 800k, Iran firing at US ships, Hamas vs Israel, inflation, gas lines...but this "journalist" cuts to the serious journalisming.

She later replied to herself that Biden's response was to say "Yes C'mon guys." Well done on his part.

This is not what they said. They said fully vaccinated people could avoid wearing masks in most scenarios.

Here's a hint, under 40% of the population is fully vaccinated. Personally I know few people who are fully vaccinated aside from the at risk people. Most people are due soon because it's the post 1 month +2 weeks sign up for New Hampshire coming up. I think NH will see a big spike, but we know so many states are struggling.

But less than half of Florida's population has taken a vaccine, Less than half of Texas are Vaccinated, etc. Yes I know kids under 16 typically will not be vaccinated. But we're still facing an uphill battle.

Also remember when sturg was on his high horse about Vermont Vaccinating minorities first. 70% of eligible Vermonters have at least a dose.

CDC’s messaging has been abysmal from day one of this pandemic.

It is pretty remarkable how terrible questions from media outlets of all types tend to be. I'm not sure I've ever watched a townhall-style debate/conversation where my immediate reaction isn't "these normal people ask much more insightful questions than virtually any member of the media."

[sturg33]

A LONG thread on the media malpractice (some might call it a big lie) about the lab leak hypothesis.

But yeah let's keep focusing on January 6!

[cajunrevenge]

So what remedy would you suggest?

[sturg33]

A good start would be idiots like you acknowledging you fell for more media propaganda

Next would be good for editors being forced to produce their evidence that the theory was debunked. If they can't, they should be fired

Next, we might want to have a serious conversation about the coordinated mass propaganda campaign from our media to presumably hurt Trump and/or help China. Where else are they doing this?

Next we should decide what we want to do about China if we find this is true. That's a much longer conversation.

The easy part to start is to understand why the media lies constantly, why the same idiots like Cajun and goldy and nsacpi fall for it every single time, and why there are never any consequences or self reflection

[goldfly]

Guy who comes and freaks out about headlines from incredibly stupid twitter people and doesn’t read the actual article associated with it that usually debunks the headline he freaked out about

Says others are the problem and fall for everything

Lol

[thethe]

Lab leak being discussed in early 2020 when it was obvious would have helped trump and hurt the ccp.

That’s the only reason it was suppressed just like many other stories in a coordinated effort to get orange man out. Some would call that process rigged.

[striker42]

Why was the lab leak theory ever a fringe theory? There's a lab in Wuhan that studies coronaviruses and there had already been warnings of lax safety procedures there before the pandemic began. Accidental infection of an employee there should have been one of the top theories from the start. There was no reason to dismiss it.

And if it does turn out to have been a leak at a lab and China suppressed it, China better start pulling any foreign assets it has back from over seas as those could easily be seized as compensation for suits or as part of sanctions.

Come on striker. You know why it was suppressed at all costs.

Because the mainstream media says it was.

The useful idiots then accepted it as fact.

The useful idiots are not critical thinkers. They do not question anything their masters tell them.

When you take a step back and just look at the coordinated propaganda that went on - simply for political reasons - nobody with an uncorrupted mind would ever trust them again. This is right off the heals of RUSSIA!

Some would say that an election was stolen because of these consistent lies and propaganda.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo advised his brother, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, and senior members of the governor’s staff on how to respond to sexual harassment allegations made earlier this year by women who had worked with the governor, according to four people familiar with the discussions.

Cuomo, one of the network’s top stars, joined a series of conference calls that included the Democratic governor’s top aide, his communications team, lawyers and a number of outside advisers, according to the people familiar with the conversations, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private sessions.

The cable news anchor encouraged his brother to take a defiant position and not to resign from the governor’s office, the people said. At one point, he used the phrase “cancel culture” as a reason to hold firm in the face of the allegations, two people present on one call said.

The behind-the-scenes strategy offered by Chris Cuomo, who anchors CNN’s 9 p.m. nightly newscast, cuts against the widely accepted norm in journalism that those reporting the news should not be involved in politics.

“If you are actively advising a politician in trouble while being an on-air host on a news network, that’s not okay,” said Nicholas Lemann, a professor at Columbia Journalism School and a New Yorker staff writer.

Can we fire the whole Cuomo family from everything please? Long overdue.

Democrats and media are one in the same.

The jig is up which is why nobody takes networks like cnn and msnbc seriously.
