I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote: CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Lara Logan has broken ranks and admitted that journalists have lost their objectivity and become "political activists." During an appearance on the Mike Drop podcast with retired Navy SEAL Mike Ritland, Logan admitted that "the media everywhere is mostly liberal, not just the U.S.," adding that it was nearly impossible for viewers to decipher if they were being told the truth at any given time. "85% of journalists are registered Democrats," Logan said. "How do you know you’re being lied to? How do you know you’re being manipulated? How do you know there’s something not right with the coverage? When they simplify it all [and] there’s no grey. It’s all one way. Well, life isn’t like that. If it doesn’t match real life, it’s probably not. Something’s wrong. For example, all the coverage on Trump all the time is negative. … That’s a distortion of the way things go in real life." "There's no grey. It's all one way," said Logan. CBS Laura Logan ~All coverage of Trump was negative -that's distortion We abandoned our pretense to be objective pic.twitter.com/MvH16FE692 — Ruthann (@TeaBoots) February 19, 2019 Logan says that the heavy bias has warped people's ability to know what's really true. "When you turn on your computer, or you walk past the TV, or you see a newspaper headline in the grocery store If they’re all saying the same thing, the weight of that convinces you that it’s true," said Logan. "You don’t question it, because everyone is saying it." She also admitted that journalists today are more or less lobbyists for liberal interests, adding that the weight of the liberal media machine overwhelms "the other side" unless people actively seek outlets such as Breitbart. Noting recent comments by former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson, Logan said "Although the media has historically always been left-leaning, we’ve abandoned our pretense — or at least the effort — to be objective, today. … We’ve become political activists, and some could argue propagandists, and there’s some merit to that [argument]." Logan said that MSM reports using anonymous or single government sources are bunk. "That’s not journalism, it’s horseshit," she said - demanding more accountability. "Responsibility for fake news begins with us." Watch the entire interview below (relevant part begins at 2:16:00)

PERIOD. Yep, that's definitely not fascism. And that first phrase is garbage. Facebook is a privately held company. They have to answer to their owners (sorry, it is a business) and any crazy-ass lawyer who wants to file a law suit and hope they get a settlement. Starbucks has a team of lawyers on retainer just to handle the mostly crazy lawsuits they have to tackle, something like 200 ongoing suits all the time. What's really garbage is even if that olde time sentiment of it being the town square were true, then anyone kicked off FB can still easily use the Internet to start their own blog and express themselves on The Internet/Town Square just fine - no free speech has been denied.

Baloney. If the problem was lawsuits, then the companies would behave like debris in the roadway: they would be kicked around from all sides until they wound up in the middle. But the bias is all to one side, which means it's deliberate.

Quote:"There is ZERO difference between government and big business. Our government no longer has legitimate concerns about America or Americans." I'll give you points for the gov part - Trump certainly doesn't care about anyone but his loyalists. Corporations do though - we have the money they want.
Quote:"They are all bought and paid for by multi-national corporations." Cites? Who bought who? Is this just another one of your parroting statements from a YouTube video or another wild @ss guess?

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: Quote:Alex Jones isn't "wrong think." Apparently, he is. Conservative voices that aren't conspiracy theory wackadoos are getting shut down on social media everywhere. In countries outside of the US that don't have any freedom of speech rights that we take for granted, people are being forcibly removed from their homes and being jailed for things they post online.

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: Marcos spends all day here calling people Nazis, inciting violence and now he talks about how we're all going to be dead and there's nothing we can do about it. I'd say anything he types is much closer to yelling "fire" in a theater than whatever the hell you're talking about.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: The most propaganda I ever heard about Benghazi came from Hillary's and Obamas mouths. Remember how Obama kept insisting that it was an unpredicted result of a B-grade movie about Mohammed? Better-sourced reporting ... interviews of six security contractors who were actually there ... tell much the same story as Lara: Security on the compound was too thin. Contractors went in without orders (some say they were even told to stand down by the CIA person in charge) and without support to rescue State Dept personnel. I've heard these interviews myself - you can get a gloss of who did what by looking into the book 13 Hours by Michael Zuckoff. Even worse is the unreported news. LIBERAL investigative reporter Seymour Hersh details just what was going on in Benghazi, which was basically a CIA arms shipment operation from Benghzi to Syrian "rebels" (i.e jihadists) to foment regime change in Syria. First of all, anyone who cares to look into how things work knows that our embassies and consultes are basically CIA outposts in foreign countries. Many of the embassy staff are dual employees - yes, the gardener is a gardener and the driver is a driver and the secretary is a secretary, but they're ALSO CIA officers. (This isn't a slam on the USA, it works that way for most nations with an effective spy agency.) In many cases, the ambassadors (who get their jobs as political favors for past support, like Shirley Temple Black) are entirely unaware of the roilings that go on underneath. But when they say that an ambassador like Christopher Stevens is "experienced", they often mean that he's a career diplomat who has been "read into" at least SOME of the operations being conducted from the embassy. https://www.mintpressnews.com/seymour-hersh-benghazi-attack-a-consequence-of-weapons-rat-line-to-syria/189261/ I find it interesting that you're STILL avoiding the topic? 1) ARE reporters and other members of the media primarily liberal Democrats? 2) IS "reporting" biased heavily in one direction? 3) DO "reporters" constantly replace fact with opinion?

Everyone says stuff that might sound crazy to other people. But if you can't back it up then you should just shut up and not waste our time.
