This is what obstruction looks like
Democrats stopped being the opposition and became the
resistance decades ago.
Media bias actually goes back to the nineteenth century
but it was left newspapers against the right papers. The would
defend and report for their party. But things have changed.
Back then the left reported what the people on that side
wanted to read and the same on the right but they didn't go
out of their way to attack the other sides paperboys. They would
print what their readers needed to know.
In the late 18th century this bias was labeled as "yellow
journalism" about the same time that the progressive movement was
promoting a notion that the function of the media was to instruct
and shape the opinions of voters too uninformed and irrational
to be trusted with making the right choice based on facts alone.
Facts needed to be presented according to those rhetorical
patterns of thought we call opinions, patterns pointed in some
particular direction of convincing an imagined jury.” This “jury”
included the opinion-makers, politicians, and citizens who needed
guiding by their betters in order to understand and choose the
policies necessary for improving society.
Over time, with the introduction of television, they learned
how much people trusted what they reported. They realized they
could skew the news and they were not regulated so it enabled
them to tell any half truth enough and eventually it was accepted
as truth.
That eventually became Rule #10 in Alinsky's book "Rules
for Radicals".
They have used the media as their personal attack dog and
as the voice that would only tell people what they wanted them
to know and only that.
This level of control soon became the norm rather than the
exception and they were off and running.
Maybe some of you can remember as far back as the Kennedy
assassination, the media theories of the second shooter on the
grassy knoll. They even originally tried to hide the fact that
the shooter in the book deposit was not alone.
Journalist distorted the Tet offensive in Vietnam to make it
appear that the US intervention made the whole effort doomed.
But, in fact it was a victory for South Vietnam and the US.
In the 70s journalists were able to earn degrees in college
while they were being shaped by the leftist perspective of the
schools.
In the 1980s we were introduced to cable channels that could
say and do anything without restrictions and they took full
advantage of manipulating the minds of young and old alike.
The age of computers had not taken off yet but the media and
the education systems, colleges, and universities were more than
prepared.
The major networks had gotten a head start on the internet and
the cable channels were feeding extremely skewed versions of what
was actually being said on their platforms.
They used the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as incompetence
and highlighted our efforts under Bush as failures, mistakes, and
accented the casualties and collateral damages. Any successes and
acts of heroism were downplayed and ignored.
It was constantly narrated as an 'unjust war' and sold it to
the American people and Congress with manufactured intelligence,
or just lies.
This was another effort to get a Democrat into the White House.
And when they were done trashing the Republicans and lying to the
people they congratulated themselves on the travesty they had
created.
In the 80s they had a monopoly on the media bias and it only
got worse from then on. Now they had gotten dangerous.
More and more people were still accepting the lies and did
not seem curious enough or interested enough to do their own
research so Rule #10 has become the acceptable line as truth.
This was fine with the media since they had lost any real
connection with reality. It was all about ratings.
The real crime in all of this was that the American people
were removed from facts and truth without even realizing it.
To this day, you can show many of them the facts with actual
real evidence and they still do not accept it. That's scary.
