It seems no great event or upheaval in our national life can pass now without the media lying to our faces about it.
They lied about the Trump campaign colluding with Russia in 2016. They lied about the Mueller probe and Brett Kavanaugh and former national security adviser Mike Flynn. They lied about Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian president and the impeachment farce that ensued. They lied about the coronavirus and the lockdowns and the White House response. And now they’re lying about the riots.
In recent days we’ve heard a steady drumbeat of lies, distortions, and disingenuousness from the mainstream media about almost every aspect

Golly gosh, are they lying to us about white privilege as well? What about the inheritance of IQ? Can it be that the average IQ in people in Haiti is 20 points lower than in Singapore?
Wow -- I didn't know that!

Sadly, half of the populace believes them. Corporate leaders, pastors, the smart, the dumb. It's not a conspiracy theory if they really are out to get you.

Sadly, Mrs. Bambam follows them like a zombie.

The media did it with the coronavirus, why shouldn't they continue with making the rioters as saints.

There are just to many dishonest, unethical, selfish, and lazy people, in all walks of life, for our constitutional republic to work any more. Sorry.

Lenin, Trotsky, Molotov and probably Stalin would chuckle amongst themselves about all the "useful idiots" that helped them gain control. Those useful idiots did not escape the purges that ensued.

The only thing the media is good for, anymore, is giving talking points to their sheeple.

While they always were in the tank for the left, they masked their hatred and lies in euphemistic and florid language - until Harry Reid and the 2012 election. Reid lied egregiously and repeatedly from the floor of the US Senate. Later, after the election when he was finally called on one of his bold lies, he stated "Well, it worked, didn't it?!" Suddenly the left knew they could stop pretending that they were "unbiased" and impartial. Little by little, using MSNBC as their divining rod, they advanced more and more false narratives and noted how little heat they received.
Finally, it came to the election of 2016 and they swung into high gear, aided and abetted by the Deep State who fed them every sort of falsehood from "unnamed sources". Since then they have been pressing the accelerator harder and harder with more and more outright lies from even previously semi-respected news organizations. We've gotten so used to being lied to, that it's become a major effort to sort out the truth, and sadly, many of the sheeple are not up to the task.
That's my $0.02 worth anyway...

Funny how the state-run msm just happened to pivot from the pandemic at precisely the right time to saturate us with the rioting. And for the same reason it has always been. They hate the President with a brainwashed-driven passion.

Watched the entire ABC Evening News with David Muir last night (the wife likes it, and I watch occasionally). There was not a single mention of Rosenstein's testimony, but was not greatly surprised.
But as to the aftermath of George Floyd's death -- much discussion of the change to 2nd degree murder, and charges brought against the other 3 Minneapolis police who were on the scene. A ton of coverage about protests around the country. No mention whatsoever about arson, killings, looting, and the destruction of neighborhoods. It was always "protesters" never a mention of rioters.
What WASN"T covered was stunning.

It is the job of the press to get coverage, and advertising dollars. Riots make good photo opportunities. There is nothing like a looter standing outside a burned-out black owned business to stir up interest.
The press is not about truth. The press is about making the United States a non-capitalist Socialist Fascist State. All for one, and one for all. Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Of course millions of lives will be lost, but it will be worth it. Utopia beckons. Look how well that works in North Korea. Look how well that works in Cuba.
yessir. Socialism is the wave of the future.

My big moment came about when the press piled on the students from Covington Catholic. I had stumbled across a livestream from the Black Hebrew Israelites who were filming their own protest. I saw how they were insulting the students, insulting the American Indians and generally behaving in such a hate filled manner that I was appalled. I saw how the Covington students began to do school cheers to drown out the insults and keep their spirits up, and then Nathan Phillips got right in Nick Sandmann's face. Sandmann simply smiled at the man. To read the press reports, you would have though he had beaten Phillips half to death. No, he simply smiled nervously at him.
It was then, that my thoughts toward the press changed from simple dislike to white-hot loathing.

The media is as committed to the democrat agenda as any democrat and they know they have the power to set a narrative and bury any story they want. Folks, we are in the midst of a civil war that only one aide is fighting right now. I am very concerned that a real military coup is about to be attempted by the deep state. I know that sounds crazy but we are up against a formidable enemy who has the wealth, power and influence to change public opinion. When a general comes out to bash the Commander in Chief and shorty after a former President speaks to the nation regarding this crisis, something is afoot. I just don’t like the vibe or the timing of either statement. The deep state may be planning the Hail Mary of all Hail Marys. The believe they have the media that will set the narrative, the tech companies that will shut down alternative information, and the anarchists who will destroy our communities to keep us cowed. Crazytown thinking, right? God help us. Something is happening in this country that I have never in my life seen before and it is as dark as it comes. Pray...divine intervention may be our only hope.

#11 makes a great point. The media sells advertising not truth. Currently socialism sells, the dismantling and overthrow of the greatest country to ever grace planet earth sells. And the 27 year olds dominating the media have no clue that they will be among the first to be eliminated in a socialist state. They are like the old Far Side cartoon where the "scientist" is beating on the warhead with a hammer.
They lied about the atrocities in Nazi Germany and Stalin's USSR, they lied about Vietnam, they are lying about global warming, they are lying about the racial crime, economics, in fact the most truthful aspect they have is the weather forecast which is simply wrong.

Clearly the “peaceful” riots are being perpetrated by a low information portion of Black inner city populations that are so stupid that they were easily manipulated for political purposes by the leftist and liberal Democrat Governors and Mayors through their incompetent reactions, along with “outside” anarchist elements whose mission in life is to destroy the USA, to riot and essentially loot and destroy the drug stores, grocery stores, and other critical commercial businesses that the residents of those Black and low income “communities” needed to go on living their daily lives.
The unlawful actions of local police departments being used as pretexts to riot are the responsibilities of those incompetent leftist and liberal Democrat Governors and Mayors who don’t dare to criticize the criminal actions of the “peaceful” rioters because those rioters, their family members, and friends, are all members of the racially based urban Black identity constituency group that keeps those leftist and liberal Democrats in office. Common sense will tell you that the Democrat politicians, both civilian and military, who are throwing up fraudulent distractions to falsely blame the President for what has happened in those leftist and liberal Democrat inner cities and his efforts to protect the historic buildings in DC from being burned down, looted, and destroyed by the nonsensical “peaceful” rioters is not going to go down well with the vast “Silent Majority” of people around the country who will vote in the November election no matter the bogus polls and what fake news that the liberal media is reporting.
