Their Pulling the Wool Over Our Eyes.

Yet as of right now, it seems like the government is running us.

The media is supposed to produce the facts, and we are supposed to make our own opinions off of it.

Yet this has been switched up so much, to where we don't know if the media is misinforming us, or how much the government knows about our lives.

Still, we do nothing about it though.

Why do right wingers always talk about “the media” as if it was a person with an agenda, as opposed to a conglomerate with a spectrum of views and motivations?

The people of the United States of America, are supposed to run the government. We have the constitutional right, to run the government, and our country. Yet as of right now, it seems like the government is running us. We already know they are listening to our every conversation. They have started to track our every move. They have become more powerful than the people, and no one is doing anything about it, because we are blinded by "it's for your safety" speeches. 

The people are supposed to know everything about the government, and the government is supposed to know nothing about the people.

This misinformation and corruption, comes from both sides of the political isle (more or less the democratic) but still, it comes from both sides. 

We shouldn't put labels on ourselves like republican, democrat, conservatives, liberal. We should put the only label that we constitutionally have, and that is the American label. 

Thoughts?

Yeah kid, the government is the enemy, maybe you right wing extremists should have an insurrection.  Oh wait, you already tried that.  Well, maybe you could try voter suppression, oh wait, you already tried that too. Overthrow elections, nope, already tried that too. 

Or…call the facts we don’t like fake news, and we are supposed to make up conspiracy theories and “alternative facts”.

LOL, a call to action to attack the media?  You want to put the media under your authoritarian control because, well because that’s just what authoritarians do.

This is the right wing trying to pull the wool over our eyes, like a white supremacist telling the bald-faced lie that White Supremacy doesn’t exist.  

 

You are all about labels and divisiveness, you don’t think the “LGBTQ” community are just Americans, “people of color” are just Americans, “non-Christians” are just Americans, “Socialist Democrats” are just Americans, the “them” of your “us/them” thinking are just Americans, of course you don’t, you lie.

You are a typical right wing pathological liar trying to “sell” your hostility towards any American that is different.  Nobody is fooled by your hypocrisy.

You seem frightened and threatened by a 16 year old, talking about free speech and America. Now why is that?

This has been happening since this nation's inception. And that's because they can use "democracy" as a facilitator to undermine individual liberties; hence, "running us."

Why don't you guys understand when we say the media?

The media means information that is meant to inform the public about things. 

Media seems to have a pro establishment bias. Which ultimately is a left wing bias as the democrats want to increase the size and scope of the establishment.

Again, it’s a conglomerate. It includes everything from OANN to MSNBC to talk radio to even podcast networks. Information comes from many different places but you know where all of it ultimately comes from? Other people. So as long as there is corruption and dishonesty among people, there will be corruption and dishonesty in the media along with every other industry on earth.

The key here is to gain basic media literacy so you can tell when someone is selling you a bunch of bull. Like when Tucker Carlson pretends he’s “just asking questions” while the answers he pretends to seek are available to anyone with a computer and a phone line.

Disinformation has only gotten worse with technology now that anyone anywhere can say whatever they want and have it read by millions without any checks. Pointing to the media is a waste of time, the biggest problem we have as a society right now is that people do not get their information from reputable outlets anymore. Unless we start teaching media literacy and basic critical thinking our future is not looking very bright.

AGAIN, I am calling out BOTH sides of the political isle

And when CNN "accidentally cuts out" every time Christianity is brought up. 

And whos gonna teach you that? 

The media?

See the problem here?

Yes, Christianity, the largest religion in America, the cards are really stacked against it. 

"The media" is not a teaching tool. Critical thinking is critical thinking, I hope your school offers a course on it. Not a coarse. 

Tell that to this new generation that is learning things all online these days. 

There is corruption in the media on both sides of the political isle. The media is misinforming people.

Censorship is something that the democrats are famous at doing, showing only what they want the public to see, 

Your right. Let me rephrase. Mainstream media is producing misinformation. 

And when CNN "accidentally cuts out" every time Christianity is brought up. 

There is bias on both sides. That is what I am calling out. 

AGAIN, I am calling out BOTH sides of the political isle. Mostly the Democrats, but Republicans too. 

And whos gonna teach you that? 

The media?

Freedom and personal responsibility isn't for everyone. The vast majority cant comprehend or handle it. Thus they vote for dictatorial tyrants to lead them thru life by the nose. The thought of suffering consequences for poor life decisions and actually having to pay for and suffer because of those poor choices just doesn't register in most peoples brains. They are all just victims and need a mommy govt to bail them out of everything. Entitlement and tyranny go hand in hand.

Every time, or one time that you are aware of? Either way I’m sure you aren’t seriously comparing a segment which cut off, for which there are multiple possible explanations far simpler than some concerted effort to shy away from talking about Christianity - an explanation that itself makes no sense, to the example of Tucker Carlson - a guy whose own lawyers argued cannot be believed, using basic logical fallacies on a nightly basis to spread obvious propaganda.

And this is the number one program on all of cable news.

No, the two sides are not remotely the same, and it’s not the democrats who pose the bigger problem.

No, it should be taught in school, far before most people develop an interest in politics with the hope that they use the lessons they learn to guide them as they decide what they stand for.

It would never happen though, if any significant number of schools across the country started teaching this I guarantee the political right would start calling it indoctrination of their children and freak out just like they did over CRT. 

Because nearly anyone with a solid understanding of critical thinking and media literacy would be able to easily tell that right wing media is nothing but nonsense propaganda.

You seem to be overlooking the fact that the Government are "People of the United States of America".

It's just that you are not an American person who is a member of the Government.

I'm sorry to have to tell you, that it's just how a society works.

Could be the USA could be Russia, which would you prefer?

If you want to run the USA, then you should have done better at school.

Or have a go and put yourself forwards for your next local election.

You're probably not ready yet for Senator or President.

This is because Democracy is objectively a flagrant system of a "might makes right" form of government that has only the constitution to keep the tyranny against the minority in check.
