I don't know what you are even talking about with Gulliani and Powell. All I know is that they are on the wrong side of the Media Giants and so they are targeted. See, there's an assumption that I know you have 100% wrong. Nothing to do with the media. It's what they did with they media. The media is still not one person. Those two got caught lying and are being held accountable for exactly what you are complaining about. You are being duped by a source more evil than media. Politicians. Isn't accountability a good thing? In this instance, the media forced accountability. They did the right thing by the majority. Quote It's all a power play. I'm not playing. Don't need to know. Don't care to know. I don't care. Nothing on Social Media or MainStreamMedia affects my life in the least. Local Media...that can affect my life. But usually only consequentially from maybe...the weather. I don't care what the government says or does. I don't care what Hollywood says or does. I don't care what music they play on the radio. I don't care. But that is all part of my idea of living a stress free life. And yet you are constantly stressing about the media and others relationships with it. Mainstream might be something you avoid, but your obsessing that others might be swayed by information conflicts with your views. You're just substituting one stress for another aren't you? It's how people roll. Trump supporters echo chamber right wing propoganda from the Epoch Times or Sky News, left wing CNN and it's underlings. You can't escape that beast. The population won't let you. Quote I enjoy talking to you. Because I like you. I don't judge you because you hate Trump...that's your deal. I refuse to be divided against people I like by the media. See how that works? Takes two friend. And that's why we don't and won't degenerate into personal attacks. I don't agree with your views, but I'm not saying change them. I'm illustrating the examples that lead me to a different conclusion. Quote But in reality...I think The Media is controlled by a completely separate entity! It's a different world. When we might talk hundreds, they talk billions. A huge gathering for us is an intimate gathering for them. We work with dozens of hundreds of people. They provide millions with entertainment. It's life on a large scale. Those values can go astray in such an environment. What we need to remember is business of that scale puts food on the table for hundreds of thousands of people. Without these entertainment giants, economy would be very tight. They generate a habitable environment in a modern world. And they are giving the people what the people want. A necessary evil if you will, willed by the general public. It's up to us to take responsibility with what they produce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that Biden does infact take the moderate position, gets the Congress in hand, as well as tames the news media, and works to heal the nation. Not a bad start.... The Hill: Biden: 'I'm tired of talking about Trump' | TheHill. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/539133-biden-im-tired-of-talking-about-trump Quote "For four years, all that's been in the news is Trump. The next four years, I want to make sure all the news is the American people. I'm tired of talking about Trump," Biden said when asked about Trump being acquitted by the Senate over the weekend during a second impeachment trial. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not on a side of the political aisle. There are some good Democrats and there are some horrendous ones. There are some good Republicans and there are some horrendous ones. I don't hate anyone. I refuse to hate who the media tells me i should hate. And I don't dislike you because you hate Trump. It's just a game I'm not going to play with you or anyone else. I'm done with this conversation. I might as well be having a conversation with Will Do. He doesn't listen to me either. The problem appears to be that it's a different side, not much more to it than that.

There are not that many reporters or real news organizations. The BBC term presenters is more accurate. Thirty seconds worth of facts become 10 minutes of infotainment repeats four times in a day. CNN, FOX Epoch Times, none of them could exist on facts alone it all has to be opinions and infotainment. FOX is bigger than CNN and MSNBC, that is pretty mainstream. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a smart man. Maybe he just cannot do anything else. I hope he can do some good. I root for good things to come from people I do not like. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(HA! HA! HA! .... I know, right? As if...) Or, part of some plan...... Oh dear.... Yes perhaps CNN are making a tiny attempt to look like they're fair and unbiased - () by bringing up relatively harmful revelations - like - 'When Biden said he always had rice pudding on Sunday - people familiar with the matter have informed us that he has rice pudding after his bath before bed on Saturday ...' Or if as everyone says that he is just there for a bit until Harris gets the top job perhaps they will slowly kick him into the long grass over the next few months... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of old people died from Cuomo-19, it could have been prevented even without a vaccine. Maybe it saved the state money in pension funds, made room for a political donors parents, or it happened because a complete idiot was in charge.

That is as may be. It does appear that the DOJ is investigating him. Maybe it happened because they were out of their depth and then wanted to cover up their screw ups. We might find out. Nobody gives you the proper thought process, you have to dig for it. Here is the deal for me. If I hire a lawyer for a civil action, I expect him to be my advocate, not taking steak dinners and paid vacations from the other side, or stealing money from me. I expect the same from elected officials. They don't have to be perfect or all knowing, just honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mass of confusion out there. I read enough of that article and I'm not exactly sure what his point is. What it looks like he is saying is to think less and think quicker with his SIFT system looking no further than the first paragraph of the publicly user-edited Wikipedia and to ultimately leave the real truth up to the professionals at NYT while he tries to flatter us about our precious, limited time. How about you and I decide for ourselves just how much thought and effort we put into, well, whatever we do or don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
