Republicans get big donations from rich donors. For every 25 cents a Democrat gets, Republicans get 75 cents. So clearly the GOP is the party of the rich.They are fiscally conservativeGo to abc, cbs or nbc for straight middle news.But right now this news is making you feel uncomfortable. You don't like it that Trump is selling nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. No American or Israeli should like this unless you only care about America making money.
And maybe the Saudi's would get it with or without us. So better we make money and sell it to them than let France or Pakistan do it.
I don't care that he sold nuclear energy to the Saudi's. Just like I don't care if Iran gets a nuke. I'm just surprised whenever Republicans cry about what Democrats do and then we see the Republicans do the same thing and Republican voters don't care.
So I'm not a hypocrite. If Obama or Trump wants to help Iran or the Saudi's get nuclear energy more power to them.
Just don't cry next time a Democratic president sells guns to another country you think is a bad actor. Saudi Arabia is a bad actor. Their leaders are murderers.
It doesnât. Only uncomfortable part is the biased media. At the gym the TVs had Fox and CNN side by side and you would think we were living in two different countries. Not news.
Go to fox and msnbc if youâre a con or liberal.
CNN is down the middle. Youâre just too right to see it. In fact itâs not liberal enough imo
Youâre delusional if you believe that. Honestly. Delusional. With all due respect. Delusional.
Donât you realize divisive politics is what the rich want? So the media is socially liberal. Thatâs on purpose.
If bp oil is an advertiser do you think management will allow negative news about them?
How come the media isnât talking about trump selling sauidis nukes? Ahhh see? A liberal media would be all over that
The Liberals are rich too. Donât let them fool you. Then give scraps to the âpoorâ to keep then dependent on the Liberals and voting Liberal. They have zero interest in giving them a road map to self sustainability. All inner cities are Blue and not thriving. And that is how they want it to be.
And the rich who want trickle down economics are much different than progressive tax rich people who don't mind paying more to help the poor.
How do you think Bernie Sanders raised so much after he announced he was running? It isn't corporations who want to pollute donating to him. He wants to regulate them. It isn't the healthcare giants who don't want single payer.
Middle class people are donating to Bernie, a liberal, progressive, independent aka Democrat.
Actually he is what a democrat should be. The Democrats are corporatists. I know what you mean.
Here let me educate you
4 Reasons the Corporate Media Refuses to Talk About Things That Matter
The End of the Fairness Doctrine
Thereâs a reason people all over America are screaming at their TVs every Sunday morning: the majority of guests are conservatives or Republicans, and much of what they offer as âfactâ or âopinionâ is merely lies and propaganda. Which leads us to number three.
3. Media Corporations Are Corporations, Too
Corporations Like Republicans
The final possibility that occurs to me (and others in media with whom Iâve discussed this over the years) is that the large TV and radio news operations simply like what the GOP stands for. They also know that if GOP policies were widely understood, the Republican Party would fade into the kind of powerless obscurity it enjoyed for most of the FDR-to-Reagan era, when working peopleâs salaries were growing faster than management and the middle class was solid and stable.
TV networks donât like unions or uppity workers or regulation any more than any other billion-dollar corporation. Theyâd prefer the salaries of their senior corporate management werenât debated (or even known). They prefer to live in todayâs semi-monopolistic system where theyâre only minimally held accountable, and want to keep it that way.
This is the core of GOP ideology that media shares: Cut taxes on rich people, kill off the unions, cut welfare so more of that money can go to rich peopleâs tax cuts, deregulate big corporations so they can act without regard to the public good, and subsidize big corporations with government funds whenever and wherever possible.
But if any of these issues were ever explicitly discussed on TV, all hell would break loose. Can you imagine if Bill Kristol or Rick Santorum or any of the other dozens of right-wing trolls who inhabit cable TV were ever asked about their actual positions on policy?
Should we sell off (privatize) Social Security to the big New York banks as the GOP has wanted to do since the 1930s? Should we end Medicare and Medicaid and turn everybody over to the tender mercies of the insurance industry? Should we stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry? What should we do about the audit that found $21 trillion (yes, with a T) missing from the Pentagon? How do we break the stranglehold monopolistic drug corporations have on the pricing of our pharmaceuticals?
