Media is so biased...no surprise..American Pravda

(1/2) > >>

So there was another school shooting yesterday.  I don't have cable so I didn't see it "in the news."  In fact, it is because the media is so biased that I don't have cable, but I digress.  Anyway, so my wife just shouted out "That's why it wasn't on the news!"

With the current anti-gun frenzy, it seems that it would  be wall to wall media coverage with another gun gone bad.  Well, turns out that the shooter was stopped by an armed guard.  Oops. That doesn't fit the script.  That doesn't further the agenda so lets just not talk about it.  Oh sure, we will touch on it, but lets go back to the crazy gun owner in Alabama down in the bunker.  He is probably a NRA, Tea Party, Veteran, conservative.  Now that is newsworthy. 


Disclaimer* The following is a diatribe commentary about the ills of our society and really deviates from the topic of this forum  Feel free to stop reading here*

Cancel your cable and free your mind.  That is not tin foil hat.  If you watch the main stream media, you are getting told what to think and most people can not, or don't want to, think for themselves.  Now, if your on this forum, this probably doesn't apply to you as you obviously reject at least a one plank of the platform, that guns are bad.  If advertising companies have learned that a 20 second commercial can make someone drink pepsi, what does a couple of generations worth of propaganda every evening when you watch the "news" do?  I know, it is easier to just sit down at the end of the day and watch whatever they spoon feed you without exerting the mental energy required to form your own opinions. Seriously.  It can be tiring to do your own research and think for yourself.  It is also very time consuming and after working to pay for our govt overreach, who isn't tired?  The agenda is not limited to news either.  Maybe I read too much into things but I see progressive agenda in other shows, subtly tucked in there as background noise and after a while you start to see the logic behind what is in the news while you enjoy your pepsi and agree that women are superior to spineless men who are really all bafoons and divorce is really okay, and who want to be punished with a baby when abortion is so much better and on and on it goes.  Think this is not happening to you?  What about any kids in your house?  Match the subtle television messages with the garbage taught in most public schools and reality has just shifted.

Okay, I am ranting.  I guess I better check the date on my big pharma meds and drink my pepsi. (Joking!)

But if one is without any source of new except local broadcast you still would receive the same left agenda. I watch cspan and those types to decide how I should go, however I do believe there is strength in numbers, so I am here and choose those like minded to strengthen me in my day to day challenges and talk non confrontational to my clients through out  my day of work

I agree that it is more difficult to get your news, but it can be done.  The internet is the last bastion of true journalism, in my opinion.  Local news, The Urinal Star notwithstanding, are typically less controlled than national 24 hour newscasts.  Check out Drudge. Check out the gun wire. Canada Free Press. World Net Daily. CNS news. Blacklisted News (a little fringe at times). The Blaze. 

There are plenty of news sources to choose from.  The worst? NBC in any form or fashion.  Followed closely by CBS and ABC in no particular order. Then CNN and then FOX. Yes fox. In some ways I consider Fox the worst since it parades itself as a conservative organization, but really, it is not so much.  People don't see it and for many years I did not, and would have scoffed at the very words which I now write.  I would gladly get into my complaints with this news source, but alas, I must go.  Another time, perhaps
