The Press Won't Save Us

If you're counting on the press to save us from the encroaching fascism of Convicted Felon Trump, should he win back the White House, don't. (Spoiler: Almost all of the "liberal" mainstream media is owned by rich conservatives.)

Jeff Tiedrich posted an article on the various press failures covering Trump, just this weekend.


It's worth a read.  (Another spoiler: Jeff is ALWAYS worth a read.)

As another data point, here are screenshots of the AP News articles fact-checking the Republican and Democratic conventions. See if you can spot the bias.






Trump has "claims"  Harris has "false and misleading claims". Most people don't read the articles; they see the headline and move on. But the impression that one side is being "false and misleading" and the other side isn't, lingers.

Liberal media, my ass. Just another decades-long conservative lie to manipulate the media into being harsher on Democrats while giving Republicans a pass, and sowing distrust of the press to the American people.

Well, if we can't trust the press. Then who can we trust? I just learned about a documentary from Brazil about the rise of evangelicalism that is becoming a real threat to the country as it made its premiere recently at the Venice Film Festival a few days ago.

I have been frustrated for YEARS about the fact that they don't push back on anything, to the point that I sound like a conspiracy nut. And it was true all along. MSM is shit.

The only good thing about this--and it's the only good thing--is that more and more people are seeing this for what it is.
