The Media Is Not Liberal

[marvin martian]

It hasn't been for a long time. Since Bill Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The rich have purchased 95% of the media and even liberal media's can only be so liberal or truthful. The rich owners censor what news can be told.

Here is a great example:

Paramount owner Shari Redstone in recent days sought to know which upcoming 60 Minutes stories were about President Donald Trump

Producer Bill Owens resigned abruptly this week, complaining that he no longer had the editorial independence to run the iconic Sunday evening news show.

Bill said "it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ’60 Minutes,′ right for the audience.”

His resignation was the culmination of months of tensions between 60 Minutes and Paramount, which has taken greater interest in oversight of CBS News.

Following Trump’s demand that the FCC inflict “punishment” on CBS over a recent 60 Minutes piece on Greenland and Ukraine

A fourth source who spoke with Owens in recent days said the former producer had grown concerned that CBS’ corporate parent was becoming too interested in 60 Minutes — and that was making him uncomfortable.

Owens’ resignation comes as Paramount is hoping to close its merger with the entertainment company Skydance, which continues to be under review by federal regulators.

LOL...you absolutely suck at gaslighting, loser.

You're going to give all the tax breaks to a group that provides less than 10% of federal income tax revenue? You do realize that that isn't enough money staying in people's pockets to matter much, right? I'm glad that you're nowhere near the power to affect the economy.

You think it's necessary to give rich people tax breaks?

• Data indicates that a significant portion of federal income tax revenue comes from higher-income earners, including those often considered "upper-middle class".
• For instance, in 2022, the top 1% of taxpayers paid 40.4% of all federal individual income taxes, and the top 10% paid 72%.

So you want to give the rich tax breaks? Why? They won't spend it. They won't hire someone new just because you gave them more money.
But if you give the tax breaks to us, we will spend it.
Here's a great example. Fuck the poor. Just give women who get pregnant a $5000 tax break. ONLY women who get pregnant. Hell, give them $10,000. They will certainly spend that money.
And don't think Republicans aren't considering it. They know we have a birth rate problem. They caused it and now they want to try and fix it.
The statement that the middle class provides less than 10% of federal income tax revenue is not accurate. While higher-income individuals contribute a significant portion, the middle class also contributes substantially to federal income tax revenue, and even more so when considering payroll taxes.

Those medias all knew trump would be horrible. Were they wrong? So far they aren't wrong. YOU are.

The "rich" are still Republicans. People making over $100,000 are middle class and educated. People like that don't vote Republican. So Trump wins rich greedy votes and poor dummies over. Nice.

Funny thing is, Trump is acting like a liberal and you seem to love it. He wants to kick illegals out and bring jobs home and that'll raise wages for those people who make under $50K a year. That's what us liberals were saying during the Bush years. So YOU have changed. Because in the 1990's you loved illlegals and wanted cheap shit from China. Because you wanted to break those unions.

Well today those former union workers are the under $50K people you are talking about.

To prove how stupid those people are, Trump is totally anti union. Unions are why any of these people got raises last year and the year before. Trump would not support their unions if they went on strike.

I'm actually looking forward to the 2028 UAW strike that might happen. I hope Trump doesn't support them so they can see I was right. Or any other union that dares go on strike while Trump is president. They'll see he is not very liberal when it comes to labor rights.

The middle class makes over $100,000? If you think that's middle class, you have no clue what the middle class actually entails. The median income, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was $50,200 in 2024.

NAFTA was who's idea? That would be Bill Clinton. I believed Perot when he said that they'd be a "sucking sound" of jobs leaving the country. And he was right. I loved illegals back in the 1990s? That's news to me. Sounds like you're trying to play the projection game and make it sound like I've changed my opinions. Sorry bobo, but you're a no-go at this station.

Trump is totally anti-union. I think he's pro-America and pro-business. If dealing with the unions can help get his agenda to happen, he's going to work with them.

The corporate media is on its last legs. When the remaining marxist boomers like sealybobo, who were raised on Soviet propaganda, are gone, it will die completely.

All we need to do is wait...

No Nafta was Reagan/Bush's idea. I won't read the rest if you are that wrong about NAFTA. The rest must be bullshit. Try again bitch.

The media is not free press. At all. It is corporate globalist press.
They don't do journalism, they do propaganda. Fuck them.

 

[sealybobo]

Figures you can't see it, you have deluded yourself into believing the MSM's protestations of fairness.

I have been following politics and the media for years. No shit they are liberal. It's either that or corrupt. If they would have sided with Bush, even you admit that would have been siding with the deep state globalists.

This is why it's so hard to argue with you guys. You know your side is corrupt. You just also know our side is too. And our side for decades has been the party for the people making under $50k.

Trump is a master of pointing out what's wrong. Let's see him fix America for people like you who make $50K or less.

Including Fox and Newsmax right? How about Rush? He was all propaganda.

H.W. Bush, not Reagan. From H.W. Bush to Obama to Biden, they were all in on weakening America with Cloward-Piven strategies. H.W. Bush was a New World Order guy.

 

[MarcATL]

I've heard that Harris won the 100K vote by around 15%. Trump did get his share, but if the 15% difference is true, that shows that the democratic party is now more in line with the party of the rich than of the middle class.

Trump didn't dupe anyone. The idea that you think that is just cope. In other words, you think that those people are too stupid to look at what was going on around them, think for themselves, and make a choice for themselves. That's the democrat "smarter than you" arrogance coming out. That's why voters are now listed as college-educated and not college-educated. Since more college-educated people vote democrat, it gives the perception that the ones who vote democrat are simply smarter than those who don't. Who has said that they expect to make the kind of money like they did in the 1990s? I'm sure you have the quote to support that.

Of course, Walmart and Target are telling Trump to knock off the tariffs. Where do you think those companies are getting their products to sell in their stores. China. Messing up that flow will mess up their business model and their bottom line. I thought that democrats were against corporate greed. Americans are too hooked on instant gratification and what they want instead of looking down the road and plan for the future. We allegedly care about those who work for minimum wage in the US, but we don't bat an eye to the workers working on slave wages in China as long we get our stuff from Temu, Shein, or Ali Baba. We should want more products to be in the US. If doing something to reduce the trade deficit with countries is a bad thing (tariffs), what are democrats offering us as an alternative? The status quo?

Trump will be judged by what he does with the economy. That being said, after listening to democrats downplaying who the economy was doing the past four years, I'm not passing judgement on someone after three months. Now, if he screws up the economy, his party will pay for it in 2026 and 2028.

Are you advocating for all, or most, products in America be made by American hands?

Sorry to burst your bubble. I know you worshiped Reagan about as much as you do Trump

The impetus for a North American free trade zone began with U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who made the idea part of his 1980 presidential campaign.

This is what's so funny about today. It seems we are making your arguments that you made back in the 2000's while YOUR SIDE was sending all those UNION jobs to Mexico and China. How did the "deep state" get you to go along with them? They attacked unions and so did you. Assuming you are a Republican.

And you guys love to talk about DEEP STATE and GLOBALISTS. Very convenient. But it's actually American corporations who wanted to send jobs overseas for the cheap labor.

I certainly didn't hear you guys complaining about Bush in the 2000's. You said the illegals were just here doing jobs American's wouldn't do. That turned out to be a lie but now we know Bush was always pro immigrant. Honestly, so am I. We stop being great without them imo. White trash certainly isn't making us great. Blacks make us great in sports but that's about it.

Now suddenly you Republicans are champions for uneducated blue collar workers. By kicking illegals out, that will raise their wages. Sounded good but hasn't worked yet.

You want to bring jobs home but you admit they will be automated jobs mostly now.

The truth is, those AMERICAN CEO's want to bring automated non union jobs back home. Wages around the world are going up and transportation costs are high.

I know I've lost you. I'll stop talking/trying.

You absolutely should, you retarded Malakka! TY for proving my point, though.

 

[hadit]

All the media that came out and said Trump is a danger to our democracy, I'll give you that they WERE more liberal when it came to Trump. Can you blame them? Look at how Trump is proving them right.

Of course I can blame them, they spent the four years of the Quid Pro Joe disaster talking about TRUMP!, not Joe, who was actually had power to cause chaos.

Now the media is being censored more than ever. That's what this thread is about. Reporters are being censored by the owners of their media companies. The owners are either MAGA themselves, or being threatened by the Trump administration.

It's not a 1st Amendment issue if the owners of media companies are coming to their senses and insisting on fair and balanced coverage for a change.

Which means Trump don't really care about the 1st amendment. We already knew that.

Scary times.

Again, not a 1st Amendment issue, unlike when the government deliberately and repeatedly colludes with liberal media outlets to censor conservative viewpoints.

Funny you think "they" were weakening America and Trump actually IS weakening America and you're too god damn stupid to see it.

President Trump’s retreat from global leadership threatens American strength, security, and prosperity, leaving a vacuum for China to fill; and a world where China sets the rules is not one friendly to Americans.

You wrongly equate "rich" with conservative. That's your first mistake.

The media is globalist... playing both sides against each other, and keeping everyone divided and distracted. But the globalist elites and technocrats who are running the show are definitely more "liberal" and godless in their worldview than anything else.

Only die hard dummy maga are liking what Trump's doing.

Trump loses public support during his first 3 months in office​

Remember all it took was the BP Oil Spill to win the House back for Republicans in 2010. Democrats are going to easily win the House back next year and then beat Trump when he runs for a 3rd term.

OR you run that terd JD Vance. A fucking joke.

Here's the breakdown of those columns in real life...
1. Left of center
2. Center
3. Rightwing
4. Hard rightwing
5. Off the deep end rightwing

Wrong!
It's;

Hard Left = Marxist
Left of Center
Center
Right of Center
Hard Right
