Should we shut down left-wing media?

[Bo Didleysquat]

Should we shut down left-wing media?

No. The Left have a right to their views.

But when views become spun into lies and fiction and sold us as fact by news outlets, that becomes PROPAGANDA, the attempt to MISLEAD and control people, the very opposite to what the Press was supposed to be about.

When the "watchdog" of the government becomes the lapdog for the government or some special interest instead, hiding and excusing scurrilous deeds, it is no longer press or media, and has become an insidious agent to undermine our society. And that must be shut down, crushed and destroyed.

Concentrated wealth runs america, all else is spectacle, illusion and manufactured anxiety/chaos.

NPR and PBS, at a minimum, need to have their funding from taxpayers ceased. These entities generate millions from donations. Taking taxpayer money for Left Wing propaganda is an insult.

They give the most even handed reporting of the news, with the least disrespect of the President, of any of the major news outlets. They have a left leaning slant in the issues they choose to cover, but I have never heard a single one of them foaming at the mouth about the President or Republicans, not even their guests.
You would be shooting the wrong folks here.

I would suggest that conservatives have never actually heard NPR or PBS and merely repeat the HATE and LIES that limbaugh et al feed them

Never would I have imagined that we would break up into two completely separate news & informational universes like this.

Never would I have imagined that anyone would be so stupid and uneducated to think that "two parallel universes" exist to begin with.

You literally must believe that reality began the day your favorite propaganda news network, aimed for those of a 6th grade education was aired - reading even a single book from a liberal, conservative, or any other POV would burst 99% of the imaginary universe you inhabit.

I once had the honor of speaking with a local judge (who I shared an interest in Steven Pinker books with), and she strongly implied that it's not really any "open secret" to pretty much anyone of any actual learning that the media is really just a substitute for reading books.

They come up with stories and "facts" that simply run parallel to reality, absolutely ignoring readily-available information.

Not sure how you're supposed to keep a republic together when it operates under separate realities.
.

The only two separate "realties' are those who read books, whether historical, scientific, cultural, or otherwise - and those who were naïve and uneducated enough to believe anything on their favorite media network was ever relevant to anyone who's education and reading level didn't stop at 6th grade.

I've met morons like you who are so simplistic in your thinking that you don't even know basics, such as the difference between a "scientific theory" or a "conspiracy theory", or a philosophical theory (such as Utilitarianism per Betham and Mill) and seem apparently ignorant or dishonest of the reality that not all conspiracy theories are "bad", or "wrong", or haven't turned out to be true.

you have managed a nice mix of arrogance and ignorance.

now toss in a few insults and you can be trump!

Lately the Democratic party and "left" wing media has been used for the purposes of rabble rousing, inciting violence, and perpetuating misinformation to the uneducated Demographic.

This could give as a good case for repealing the First Amendment, or using the state's power to shut down Democratic media, including social media which incites violence and anarchy.

In practice, I don't think it would be too easy to do - the government could simply shut down TV and radio such as the Colbert Report, NPR, as well as social media outlets such as YouTube channels which incite violence, hatred, and immorality in the lowest common denominator.

In practice, most of their "rights" are imaginary anyway, and are merely fed to them via their misinformation outlets by rabble rousers - simply shut them all down, and remind the Democratic party and it's mouth-breading demographic of their rightful place under the state's hierarchy.

As an example, anyone who uses the term "white supremacist", "Nazi", or "fascist" could be profiled by the FBI and the CIA, given that anarchist groups have abused this term. (Much as how actual white supremacy groups may be being monitored as well).

Sure. But first you have to take over at least 60% of the Governments both Federal and State. Then you have to abolish or completely saturate the Supreme Court. Then, and only then, can you start shutting down the Leftists media. Circa Italy, 1933.

They're workin' on it.

We shouldn't shut down then leftwing press, but we should shut down all public universities and stop all government funding of education. The government should not be able to subsidies ideas that it approves of. This incestuous relationship between government and education is the reason we have a steady stream of leftwing journalists graduating from public universities and populating the ranks of leftwing propaganda organs like CNN and the New York Times.

Minuscule Microscule compared to how much the Lush Rimjobs and the Fox Noises generate from their advertising.

When your income is dependent on advertising, the more your ratings go up the more you make. That's when "SLUT! SLUT! SLUT!" hits the air, because that makes ratings go up.

That what you want? Endless diarrhea spewing of "SLUT! SLUT! SLUT!"? You find that elucidating, do you?

You are missing the point..... how are you justifying taking taxpayer money and only presenting one political lens and agenda.

Did you read the article? If they were getting the taxpayer money they are supposed to get, as this was first established, they wouldn't have to bow to the big contributors they get, and yes, many are from the left.
Reinstate NPR and PBS funding so they don't have to continually reach out for millionaires' support. A country that can't afford one NPR and PBS is a poor country indeed.

I will completely flip my position and get them taxpayer funding provided they be regulated for views and content presented without prejudice or agenda. Oppressed and / or obfuscated speech is not free speech.

Meh... who would really miss banning an idiot who thinks that 99% of the world they live in is part of a "racist, white supermacist conspiracy theory"? If they're even allowed the pretense of "frees peach" at all, it's for entertainment value only.

Once more for the alternative facts crowd

You're a moron who doesn't know what "facts" are, nor what "alternative is" - a fact is a piece of information - in any court or legal setting, different sides present different opinions, evidences, and so forth, and the Judge and Jury deliberate on them. It's possible for both sides to be presenting contradictory information, and neither side "lying".

You don't even know something as basic as how a civil or court works, which is what your misinformation and silly meme about "alternative facts" is about to begin with. Education past the 6th grade level would be your best frend.

; your Edward L Bernaysish media machine was deregulated (the FCC) under the Clinton administration. As an incremental result over time, what was once 50 some odd companies in that space got monopolized down into half a dozen multinational corporations. How do you like monopolization and deregulation now? America used to know better than to allow this sort of thing.

The Corporate Dictatorship of PBS and NPR
"David Koch has donated upwards of $23 million to public television. And when you donate $23 million dollars to public television, you get more than just a tote bag or a coffee mug – you get to dictate the on-air programming.

This is the kind of influence and control that we see in mainstream media today too.

Thanks to the giant transnational corporations that own them, mainstream media outlets tailor their programming to appease their corporate backers."

In practice, I don't think it would be too easy to do - the government could simply shut down TV and radio such as the Colbert Report, NPR, as well as social media outlets such as YouTube channels which incite violence, hatred, and immorality in the lowest common denominator.

In practice, most of their "rights" are imaginary anyway, and are merely fed to them via their misinformation outlets by rabble rousers - simply shut them all down, and remind the Democratic party and it's mouth-breading demographic of their rightful place under the state's hierarchy.

As an example, anyone who uses the term "white supremacist", "Nazi", or "fascist" could be profiled by the FBI and the CIA, given that anarchist groups have abused this term. (Much as how actual white supremacy groups may be being monitored as well).

Yup, just like China, North Korea, Russia and the like.

Meh... who would really miss banning an idiot who thinks that 99% of the world they live in is part of a "racist, white supermacist conspiracy theory"? If they're even allowed the pretense of "frees peach" at all, it's for entertainment value only.

Once more for the alternative facts crowd

You're a moron who doesn't know what "facts" are, nor what "alternative is" - a fact is a piece of information - in any court or legal setting, different sides present different opinions, evidences, and so forth, and the Judge and Jury deliberate on them. It's possible for both sides to be presenting contradictory information, and neither side "lying".

You don't even know something as basic as how a civil or court works, which is what your misinformation and silly meme about "alternative facts" is about to begin with. Education past the 6th grade level would be your best frend.

; your Edward L Bernaysish media machine was deregulated (the FCC) under the Clinton administration. As an incremental result over time, what was once 50 some odd companies in that space got monopolized down into half a dozen multinational corporations.

I fail to see your point, other than that it sounds like you're saying the entire legal system and police force is part of a "white supremacist conspiracy theory".

And if so, then good luck getting anyone to preserve your rights, you're fighting a battle you can't win.

You are a fascist. Your views are unamerican. You're white. Turn black or into anything else not white then come talk to us about white supremacy.

And don't forget, if you're not a white supremacist, "good luck getting anyone to preserve your rights, you're fighting a battle you can't win."

Which in some mindfuck sorta way is supposed to argue that law enforcement's own assessment of its ranks is incorrect? Jeebus.

 

[Questioner]

NPR and PBS, at a minimum, need to have their funding from taxpayers ceased. These entities generate millions from donations. Taking taxpayer money for Left Wing propaganda is an insult.

They give the most even handed reporting of the news, with the least disrespect of the President, of any of the major news outlets. They have a left leaning slant in the issues they choose to cover, but I have never heard a single one of them foaming at the mouth about the President or Republicans, not even their guests.
You would be shooting the wrong folks here.

I would suggest that conservatives have never actually heard NPR or PBS and merely repeat the HATE and LIES that limbaugh et al feed them

Never would I have imagined that we would break up into two completely separate news & informational universes like this.

Never would I have imagined that anyone would be so stupid and uneducated to think that "two parallel universes" exist to begin with.

You literally must believe that reality began the day your favorite propaganda news network, aimed for those of a 6th grade education was aired - reading even a single book from a liberal, conservative, or any other POV would burst 99% of the imaginary universe you inhabit.

I once had the honor of speaking with a local judge (who I shared an interest in Steven Pinker books with), and she strongly implied that it's not really any "open secret" to pretty much anyone of any actual learning that the media is really just a substitute for reading books.

They come up with stories and "facts" that simply run parallel to reality, absolutely ignoring readily-available information.

Not sure how you're supposed to keep a republic together when it operates under separate realities.
.

The only two separate "realties' are those who read books, whether historical, scientific, cultural, or otherwise - and those who were naïve and uneducated enough to believe anything on their favorite media network was ever relevant to anyone who's education and reading level didn't stop at 6th grade.

I've met morons like you who are so simplistic in your thinking that you don't even know basics, such as the difference between a "scientific theory" or a "conspiracy theory", or a philosophical theory (such as Utilitarianism per Betham and Mill) and seem apparently ignorant or dishonest of the reality that not all conspiracy theories are "bad", or "wrong", or haven't turned out to be true.

As wonderful example, most of the misinformation on TV about "global warming" isn't "the science" itself, it's rather political philosophy, the likes of Bentham or Mill's Utilitarianism, or the Secular Humanist religion, whose beliefs in "caring for the earth", have been around since the 1800s and before any recent data on Global Warming ever existed.

What's being done in the popular media is simply using scientific data to support pre-supposed philosophical beliefs, such as a lack of limitations on "change", "progress", and the like, or other idiotic theories, such as proposed taxations or whatnot, which are held or presupposed on the basis of faith, not on any proven or testable effectiveness.

The reality is that science has demonstrated natural causes in relation to global warming, but in spite of this, the deniers and alarmists refuse to accept this on the basis of their faith-based beliefs or philosophies, preferring instead to either attack science, or peddle misinformation about what science is or how it works, or attack scientists who don't agree with their religion as being part of a "capitalist" conspiracy theory, or something else.

Should we shut down left-wing media?

No. The Left have a right to their views.

But when views become spun into lies and fiction and sold us as fact by news outlets, that becomes PROPAGANDA, the attempt to MISLEAD and control people, the very opposite to what the Press was supposed to be about.

When the "watchdog" of the government becomes the lapdog for the government or some special interest instead, hiding and excusing scurrilous deeds, it is no longer press or media, and has become an insidious agent to undermine our society. And that must be shut down, crushed and destroyed.

We shouldn't shut down then leftwing press, but we should shut down all public universities and stop all government funding of education. The government should not be able to subsidies ideas that it approves of. This incestuous relationship between government and education is the reason we have a steady stream of leftwing journalists graduating from public universities and populating the ranks of leftwing propaganda organs like CNN and the New York Times.

If education was privatized, one benefit would be that we could remove all "critical theory" and radical politics from the universities, I honestly wouldn't mind that.

More Russel Kirk and less John Stuart Mill.

Betsy Devos, the Mercers and the Erik Prince crowd are all over this. Same reasoning slaves were not allowed to read in the Antebellum planter aristocracy. Education is not for the masses, but the the aristocracy alone. They must control what the unsubstantial people know.

This was all nicely laid out in The Powell Memorandum.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

I would not support shutting down media, but I would support removing their assumed agency protection and making the individual "journalists" as liable for slander and libel as everyone else.

No, that is a slippery slope we should not go down. I would propose an alert to show up on the screen or be stated on radio that says "The speaker is currently stating opinion or speculation". Granted this could get annoying on CNN since the alert would never turn off.
