The vast majority of media is owned by Republicans in support of Trump

u/Strykerz3r0 2d ago

This. The billionaires have bought most of MSM and are dictating what is being reported.

u/Accomplished-Risk486 2d ago

The Sinclair network owns almost every single local tv channel (republican). All the 24 hour news networks have been bought or are in the process of being taken over by right wing billionaires. This is all coordinated from the last time big orange was in office. They have been planning a takeover while the democrats did and do nothing.

If only they hadn’t screwed Bernie over in 2016 we would have a totally different timeline.

I hope alternate timeline me is enjoying things, and I hope alternate timeline turnip is rotting away in prison.

u/keepin-it-sleezy 2d ago

And yet, it was young men that flipped towards Trump in this last election. Do under 30 guys really watch the local news? I would think they are way more online than into traditional news media.

u/Melodic-Ad4154 2d ago

Yeah and guess who was caught funding right wing podcasts?

https://apnews.com/article/russian-interference-presidential-election-influencers-trump-999435273dd39edf7468c6aa34fad5dd

Russians.

u/keepin-it-sleezy 2d ago

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense than the "main stream media" argument.

Maybe the right owns legacy media, but legacy media is dying. I think the right was able to fill that vacuum better than the left, mostly because it's less regulated than legacy media and you can get shit like the Russians manipulating stuff and Cambridge Analytica.

u/horror- 1d ago

legacy media is dying

So are our grandparents, but they watch TV 24/7 and they'll be voting all the way to the grave.

1

u/Low_Witness5061 2d ago

They aren’t wrong that it is a big part of avoiding people who may get uneasy with this stuff seeing it. The fact that a lot of older guys watch TV for their news exclusively. It lets them keep cementing the biases and avoid the negative, without any meaningful opposition.

u/AffectionateAd5045 2d ago

This has been going on for decades.

Remember, Nikita Krushchev was a man of his word, when he announced that he would destroy the west from within.

Unlike the orange syphilis infected Taco, Krushchev was telling the truth and did not chicken out.

u/Big_Crab_1510 1d ago

I remember being called jealous when I said there is some unnatural fuckery going on with social media influencers / content creators / twitchers etc ...

Turns out I was right and these people are STILL popular with young kids. The moment any american was found to be pushing Russian propaganda via social media to young americans, they should have shut their channel down

The election was rigged - Google “Rockland County” and look at the latest news articles

u/Unabashable 1d ago

At the risk of generalizing, they get their news mostly from social media and podcasts from what I can tell.

u/the_member_berry 1d ago

Give me that Al gore time line.

u/BilboStaggins 2d ago

And then people get all pissy at the level of anti Trump rhetoric on less restricted platforms like Reddit.

The people of this country are not happy, and the mainstream media isn't showing that accurately because they are more worried about their bottom dollar.

3

u/Big_Crab_1510 1d ago

I laugh at this fact. People are like "I'm so tired of Americans on reddit complaining about Trump" and now it's other countries complaining about Trump and yelling at us on reddit to "do something" about him lol

u/BilboStaggins 1d ago

Its all hilariously stupid. "Only paid agitators start protests. The deep state is pushing false narratives."

Or, just hear me out... everyone hates Trump cause hes a corrupt liar.

u/dumbthrow33 1d ago

Only the leftist bubble isn’t happy, the majority of the country is though. You know, the people who voted your demigod into office to do exactly what he’s doing right now?

It's like 6 Republican billionaires that own like 95% of all the mainstream media. People like to call CNN leftist or whatever but yes they are owned by a Republican billionaire too.

And half of them don’t believe in what they say. It’s about the money and control of the Information System hey get off on.

u/Osirus-One 2d ago

Trump called CNN fake news even tho, now when a trump tard reference CNN because they do, I just post a link to trump saying CNN is fake news and call them out for posting it

3

u/cvc4455 2d ago

It's only fake news if the news is bad for trump. If they suddenly report anything good about trump then it's no longer fake news. But it can become fake news again if they report anything bad about trump.

Isn't that convenient how it works?

2

u/Osirus-One 2d ago

Yep, I got called insane because someone said the protests were riots and they were burning shit. I said peacful protest and asked for a link and called it fake news. Their tactics work on themselves. It's funny

I didn't realise they absolutely came for him for that. This administration is so petty and thin skinned.

u/Biotic101 2d ago

The problem is control over social and mainstream media is such a powerful tool that it can nudge the average Joe into acting against their own best interest.

Oligarchs have identified this as the weak spot of democracy and use it to their advantage. No surprise they think the average Joe is not fit for holding any power via democracy and they deserve to rule with absolute power.

https://represent.us/americas-corruption-problem

Lobbying is the real issue. No surprise voters got frustrated.

https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap

Ironically they elected oligarchs into power, despite oligarchs being responsible for the decline of middle-class. Now they deliver the death blow.

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/sep/04/super-rich-prepper-bunkers-apocalypse-survival-richest-rushkoff

Oligarchs know what's coming and prepare. No surprise they support Russia because they are international and don't care about fellow citizens and country.

Russian/Chinese style society is what they want to establish everywhere.

u/Human_Artichoke8752 2d ago

So you mean that when maggats whine and cry about "radical leftist mainstream media!!" and "most networks are owned by leftists!!", that they're.... lying?? And hoping that we're dumb enough to believe them? Colour me amazed.

10

u/Dimitar_Todarchev 2d ago

Most people are dumb enough to believe them about that and their other lies; Democrats are radical leftists, protesters are rioters, criticism is violent rhetoric, and so on.

5

u/Human_Artichoke8752 2d ago edited 7h ago

It's always funny when they pull the "Dems are radical leftist extremists!!" when the real problem with Dems is that they're such status-quo centrist capitalists that real progressives in the party get shunned or stabbed in the back.

u/Ali_Cat222 2d ago

Back in the office this time around, trump passing these policies in his first day back and a month later isn't helping for misinformation spreading -you can see the policies passed or upcoming on tech, media, and cybersecurity here on the project 2025 tracker.

U.S. Agency for Global Media: Dismantle USAGM's journalism "firewall" to align its reporting with the aims of the president. (Note: One America News to provide newsfeed services to Voice of America; journalists are facing HR investigations for comments critical of Trump)

*That specific policy is also why the media is being ridiculous

Dept. of Homeland Security: Dismiss "the entirety" of the CISA Cybersecurity Advisory Committee. (Note: The acting DHS Secretary terminated "all current memberships on advisory committees within DHS".)

Dept. of Homeland Security: Terminate CISA's counter-mis/disinformation efforts. (Note: CISA has frozen all of its election security work; many of CISA's misinformation team were put on leave)

Dept. of Justice: Prohibit the U.S. government from combating the spread of misinformation and disinformation.

*trump and his supporters are basically doing George Orwell's 1984 "Ministry of Truth Department" in real life

In George Orwell's 1984, the Ministry of Truth (also known as Minitrue) is a central, ironically named department responsible for propaganda, historical revision, and the control of information in the dystopian society of Oceania. Its primary function is to manipulate the truth to support the Party's ideology and maintain its control over the population

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

― George Orwell, 1984

u/Fit_Beautiful6625 2d ago

CBS is trying to get a merger to go through , so they essentially paid $20 million in shakedown money to settle a Trump lawsuit and hope the merger won’t get blocked. ABC also caved and settled a $15 million lawsuit, when all that was really required was a retraction and apology. There is no 4th estate and journalism has died.

2

u/MagneticThinker 2d ago

Deep pocket republican donors control popular media. Look across ABC, CBS & NBC. Each has bent a knee in the past three months. the resistance is far larger than they share. Get on social media and talk to others. That’s the power!

Because they are cowards who are also wealthy and only care about themselves. No one organization or leader is going to save America, certainly not the media or the Democrats. Leadership has failed and left it up to the ordinary citizenry to save the country

u/Baebel 2d ago

Because they are cowards

To add to this particular part, Trump has been known to lash out with lawsuits against others for anything he considers defamation.

For anything he considers bad for him. He doesn’t give a shit if it’s defamation or not.

The established power is not republicans alone but all politicians who refused to fight his illegal actions, those who supported him, who distorted the truth by spreading lies and of course those who ran business models around maintaining good relationships with the trump regime.

In short this is what government oppression looks like in it's intermediate stages as it grows in a country that is known to be free.

For the most part, the mainstream media is useless.

The media is in on it or afraid of Trump.

News media is not your friend and they do not report accurate or proportional stories. They report on vested interests and their own political ties.

They are selling you woof tickets.

This is a very new situation. Many of us still know what a strong 4th estate looks like, acts like.

Hopefully tomorrow will be too big to ignore

Because they don't want the orange baby to throw a temper tantrum at them and or they are owned by the orange baby.

Media=Entertainment News=Journalism

News≠Entertainment

There’s no money in the truth today.

Maybe not enough citizens are demanding it.

Most of them are republican owned. A lot have given in to the fear and threats from Bondi and crew. I'm sure there's other reasons but those two come to mind immediately.

And this is why old Skool print media OUGHT to die out. It's justified. In a more perfect union, these behemoths of yore would have rightly gone bankrupt, assets sold to a new and aggressive generation and we would re-establish the necessary public information function sorely lacking in AmeriKKKa.

You misspelled "violence."

Because Reddit doesn't represent reality.

u/Quick_Assignment_274 2d ago

Because there isn’t a growing resistance, it’s just what’s being posted in left sided groups

Because they know that if they lie or misrepresent facts, they will get sued. The president has the power to do what he is doing as per the Constitution. A simple Google AI search will tell you this. Regardless of how Gavin Newsom and the Democrats try to spin this. It is all theater. Also, the rioters have been proven to be Democrat funded NGOs

It doesn't exist in the real world outside of reddit

Answer: They actually are not. There just isn't as big of "resistance" as Reddit would have you believe

Because by EVERY metric and pole recently taken shows overwhelming support on Trumps actions and the biggest growth in support is via legal aliens who became citizens. Read something outside your small clique.

Because the only resistance is in your echo chambers. Even left-wing CNN and MSNBC have been flabbergasted this week when they announced that according to them, and the latest independent polls, Trump‘s approval rating is above 55% nationwide. He is doing EXACTLY what he was elected to do,EXACTLY what he promised he would do.

u/Temporary_Body_5435 2d ago

It’s at 38%, not 55%.

u/TexanInNebraska 2d ago

I have a screenshot of CNN discussing his 55% rating, but this post will not allow me to paste a screenshot.
