While I was visiting a relative, CBS evening news was on TV in the background. It felt like water torture hearing arrogant reporters authoritatively lie about president Trump and every political issue. Their deceptive message was: Republicans are mean and Democrats are good. Incredibly, 95% of the broadcast was fake news.Could I escape being bombarded with fake news in my car? No. Every news break on the radio was crafted to imply that Trump is guilty of everything and Republicans are mean.Clearly, there is a coordinated fake news media campaign to instill hatred for Trump, America, Christians, Conservatives, Republicans, Trump supporters, and straight white men.

FTA: I recently tweeted, “I wish to express my utmost respect and thanks to conservative media and congressional Republicans for daily fighting and explaining Democrats' and fake news media's coup to remove our president via Schiff's kangaroo court impeachment hearings.”
Thank God for Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, conservative talk radio, Fox News and the internet.

Excellent article, but I've got one nit to pick:
FTA. ''It is as if a daily memo is sent to Democrat media operatives. “Okay everyone, the phrase of the day is “Trump is an existential threat.” Every news broadcast finds a way to fit it in.''
I don't think it's ''It is as if...'' I think it positively happens every day. We've all hears montages of the lying media morons using the same words and phrases to attack President Trump over and over like trained parrots. Coincidence? HELL NO!

Many of the Government's payments to the Media are disguised in payments to the parent corporation. For example, the CIA pays over a hundred million dollars to Amazon for Cloud Services. Think about that. Would the CIA use a commercial Cloud?

Yes, it's everywhere and the sheep will listen. Even the day guy on WFMT (classic FM) in Chicago can find a way to sneak climate change into the old masters. It's so pathetic yet it does inject a bit of humor (unintentionally) into the old classics.

I cut the cord a LONG time ago and get my news from a large variety of internet sources. Yes, some of them are liberal, but I have no patience with the prog sites and cut them out too.
I still remember when I first heard Rush Limbaugh. I was in the car, turned on the radio and heard a voice say,
'It's time for a Barney Frank update' and then the song My Boy Lollipop came on. I burst out laughing and listened to him for years. I can't now. My uber prog boss thinks he's the spawn of Satan.

What frosts me the most is the Fox Affiliates. Their local news broadcasts are as bad as the rest of the MSM. You want to catch the weather, or local sports?
Be prepared to be bombarded with left-wing bombast, as they lead off with the Left's interpretation of National events.

Here too #7. I quit watching the network "news" propaganda shows years ago. I still watch the local news, but they are obviously in complete cahoots with the rest of the industry when they start reporting on anything of national note.
I blame sheer laziness for a lot of it. The NYC, DC, liberal east coast area was the birthplace of national radio and TV broadcast industries, so the "news" industry latched onto that train. The rest of them have just been dutifully accepting their leads from the east coast "news" establishment for so long they probably don't even stop to think why.

When Barry Sotero ran for President, the main Democrat message was not FOR him but against those REPUBLICANS.
The Democrats (and the Media) are now pulling out the hate card again and will hammer it until - at least - after Mr. Trump is re-elected.

As Rush would say, ''tadalump, tadalump, tadalump!!'' Trump's approval rating rose after the impeachment hearings. Nyuk nyuk nyuk.
Stupid Hillary; way too stupid to learn in advance what a clean-freak the President is. Only the Clintons are filthy enough in mind and body to sleep in another's bed. Now I see why the Clinton Foundation ''went suddenly bankrupt'' when they learned Hillary would owe $32 million for the Steele fiasco. There isn't enough hatred to go around for all three, so Hillary gets most; then the lovely and talented Chelsea gets a dose. That leaves very little hatred for the down-and-out Billy Jeff. We'll manage somehow.
I love Lloyd Marcus to the moon and back.

Why don’t we have our own “network” of truthful conservative news to rival their DNC talking points daily drumbeat of left-wing hateful narrative?
We could put abc/cbs/nbc “news” out of business if we tried!
Come on!

Marcus gave us quite a treat at the end; a link to "Thank God Rush Limbaugh's On" by the Hawkins Gospel singers. Its been a long time since Rush played it. He should put it back on the rotation.
I had the pleasure to meet Lloyd Marcus at a Tea Party Express rally in Napa in 2010. I gave him a copy of my book and Mary took a photo of us. Later Lloyd came back to my booth and gifted me one of his CDs, autographed. He also posted our picture on his site along with a plug for my book.
With your indulgence may I take advantage of this opportunity for a shameless plug: "Tea Party: American Revolution 2.0" is available on Amazon. It chronicles the first year of the Tea Party movement from Rick Santelli's rant to the massive 9-12 March on DC in 2009, telling the stories of average Americans fed up with being ignored. I detail the rallies, memorable events from the Obamacare town halls and the duplicitous doings of the damn Dims. Its a fun read and still holds up a decade on, if I may say so myself. Among my "book people" telling their stories are two Ldotters. Buy the book and see if you can identify them!
