News reports cannot be trusted. I have been utterly frustrated by attempts to find “what really happened” on several occasions, because I can tell the media is favoring a particular narrative, political agenda, or popular talking points.
- The majority of news organizations are Leftist leaning. This fact is supported by observing the nature of their narrative, not merely a function of my opinion.
- These networks often completely IGNORE important developments that do not support the Leftist agenda.
- All “news” reports are ultimately opinionated Leftist slanted rants by pundits ostensibly portraying themselves as reporters or news anchors.
- Questions directed to Republican figures by “reporters” from these networks have an obvious slant to them intended to trap that person into providing an answer that supports a Leftist narrative.
- Facts are either completely fabricated, falsely skewed, obscured, or eschewed in order to support an obvious Leftist agenda.
- “News” reports are rife with opinionated, sensationalized rhetoric that is obviously NOT factual, but an assertion promoted by the anchor to support the Leftist agenda. For Example: “Our president….. (pause for ersatz solemnity implying ABSOLUTE truth)… is a RACIST!” spouted one anchor. I would rather he have reported the facts and let me come to my own conclusion as to whether I believe him to be a racist or not. News is NOT a matter of opinion like that.
- Fox News is the only “readily-available” media outlet that supports Conservative opinion. Fox News is the ONLY network that will cover many issues that completely ignored by other networks.
- Leftists will IMMEDIATELY denounce the source of ANY narrative (factual or opinionated) that contrasts with their own using the familiar mantra, “Where did you get your information, FOX NEWS?”
- They regularly imply, if not openly state, that Fox News is a Right Wing propaganda network that lies in favor of Conservative indoctrination.
- The fact is, Fox News IS a Conservative venue for news. However, I find myself YELLING at Fox News as much as other networks. WHY?
- They REGULARLY provide a dissenting Left-Wing opinion.
- The pundit providing the dissenting opinion is ALWAYS a strong debate opponent, not merely a token endorsement that cowers before a barrage of prevailing narrative.
- The dissenting opinion conveys the narrative of the other networks in the same talking points and Leftist agenda.
- Other networks rarely provide a dissenting opinion to their anchor’s Leftist monologue… and if they do, the counter-argument is either weak or shouted down by the preponderant supporting pundits.
I have been doing some statistical research because I don’t trust the narrative we are being fed. It is painfully clear that the producers of news organizations ultimately do NOT pursue truth. Even Fox News appears to have succumbed to the Leftist-controlled narrative lately. Not to say they are supporting a Leftist agenda, but they did divert their coverage from the momentous FBI bias against the Trump Campaign and in the origins of the Mueller Probe in favor of the “Trump Border Crisis”, as the CNN headlines coined it.
Leftists/Socialists have mastered the stratagem of “controlling the narrative”. When they do not have a solid political leg to stand on, they divert the narrative to something with which they proceed to generate outrage. Then, the outrage takes care of itself, perpetuating that narrative control on a whirlwind of media frenzy.
Outrage typically can be manipulated by stirring up hot-button topics:
- Racism
- Mistreatment of children
- Police “Brutality”
- Discrimination against special interest identity groups
- or any other indignation “I’m HURT” narratives
I don’t trust news for factual reporting anymore. I have been seeking raw data with which to form my own conclusion. The sad thing is, Googling raw data is almost impossible. It took me a long time to find anything that was not a media report which, of course, is polluted by the slant of the reporters and editors.
Here are some interesting facts:
Americans who identify as transgender: 0.3%
Americans who identify as white supremacists: 0.00001%
Now, think about the prevalence of these groups in Leftist narratives lately.
- One would think that over half of Americans are gender-confused, yet they are less than 1% of our population.
- Why, I wonder, do we put so much emphasis on them when it comes to matters of public policy?
- There is a disproportionate amount of accommodating going on in public policy in terms of funding and overall political power manifested in a plight that is portrayed as quite common in the American public.
- One would think that white supremacists are threatening the very existence of Americans who are subject to their hatred on a genocidal level.
- Yet, accusations of “racist”, “white supremacist”, or “bigot” are thrown around on a wholesale basis toward Trump and the Americans who support him.
- Saying one is a “racist” does not make it so, yet the narrative always diverts to discussion of this or the debate thereof.
Conservatives must stop taking the bait and engaging in discussion of such “red herring” issues. They are thrown up as a diversion away from the important topic of discussion at hand in order to avoid a lost cause, as is the Leftist/Socialist agenda these days.
