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.

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.

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

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.

There are those '...who will not serve God if the Devil bid them.
