60% of the US say “the media are the Enemy”
Media is the Enemy

By Jo Nova

Ponder how far we have come when more than half of the US sees the media, not just as self-serving, biased hacks, but as The Enemy itself.

“Fake News” is annoying, but active lies and suppression are a campaign to steal something from you — or everything: your money, your health, your vote and your children. There is no “town square” anymore, no common forum where ideas are batted back and forth until both sides agree. There is only entrenched polarization. A house divided, and no shared meals. Fomenting civil war.

Rasmussen Reports asked 1,114 likely US voters whether the media are “truly the enemy of the people”, and an amazing 60% agreed.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Not only the enemy, but the mortal enemy.  We need within our pwers to economically destroy them within our own means.  If we can do it cumulatively and in an organized basis, we can make a big dent.

That includes keeping the fact of their bias up front and center with every one you know.  It also means making mental notes of those companies that intensely adverises on MSM news shows, and those late night talk shows.  Then boycott as needed.  We on the right still hold a larger edge in the cash in the U.S.  We need to use every cent we own to indirectly destroy the MSM.

No argument from me, you're dead-on right.

But...
If this is so...
Why do we still have a "Sunday Morning Talk Show" thread... ???

The result is not surprising. Our news media have gone from being watchdogs to lapdogs.

The news media once served the people by monitoring and reporting on governmental excess and malfeasance. Today, they serve to protect and defend the very same government and to spy on its enemies. Meaning: us.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Yup

And they’ve gone beyond just being biased to activism

They will still report on government excess, if done by the “wrong”  party, though

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

If the coordinated misinformation concerning COVID and treatments didn't wake people up, I don't know what will.

The thing to keep in mind is that the 40% who trust the MSM approximates the approval numbers for Biden.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
