    Is it really a threat to national security? What should happen to it? Should it just be censored?

    In Canada, they would be labeled as a satire or comedy channel, not a news channel. To me they are a comedy channel.

    I like how that biased article just leaves out the fact that Barr and Durham both disagree with Horowitz, after reviewing the same evidence that Horowitz did.

    Since Barr is Horowitz's boss, technically his position is the DOJ's position, so if anything, the FBI improperly investigated Trump like Barr says.

    Sounds like someone is upset that there is a media outlet that does not repeat commie propaganda like CNN. Too bad.

    Who do you think should censor the news? That's a serious question. No snarkiness intended.

    It should be available to be judged by each individual in the free marketplace of ideas, and consumed or not according to each individuals choice. That's how liberty works. This is America.

    I'm an athe-nostic whatever, but tonight before going to bed, I'm going to kneel down and give thanks to god almighty that I was born in the United States and not Canada.

    To the topic, propaganda requires a hegemony for its toilet paper thin narratives to survive even mild scrutiny. I watch Fox at the gym while on the treadmill daily and it's completely nonpartisan in its straight news, meaning that it isn't overwhelming leftist like 90% of the other MSM media outlets are. It's only "RW" in its nightly op ed and weekend shows. And those shows aren't particularly watchable, far more so than the LW alternatives and laugh track late night though.

    The Complex simply cannot stand that they don't have entire control over information any more, and it is making them deranged. Ironically, the real threat to them is not anything going on in television, I mean what's the TOTAL audience of all the cable news and late night shows? 10 million or so? I really don't know could be much more, but still only a tiny fraction of the population.

    What they really have to fear is what places like 4chan are doing to the gov edu conditioning of the young. Serve them up "church lady" all day in school, then they go onto a place like 4chan and see the mostly LARPING "racists." Who would win among rebellious youth preached to daily in Complex Newspeak? Who indeed?

    When I was growing up, the "bullshit thermometer" on PC and nanny state culture was the National Lampoon. Today there are ten million National Lampoon equivalents.

    Who would win?

    In America, Canada is labeled as comedy and satire. No one takes Canada seriously.

    We refer to canada as "Diet America".

    Thank you for the giggles though!

    I used to watch Jenna Lee with my earmuffs on and forgot which channel CNN is currently broadcasting. It's quite difficult to digest and comprehend psychological warfare.

    Is it Fox or the people who believe it here? I think the issue goes deep into the American psyche.

    You think people who weren't propagandized by NPR, PBS, big three and the entire totality of print media for 50 years won't lap up ANYTHING contra? That's not particularly deep into the American psyche IMO, entirely predictable. If CNN and the Big Three, the rest of media weren't coopted into arms of the establishment for decades, Fox News could never have found its niche.

    That is exactly what I mean...think about it for a moment. Basically you are claiming that 99% of the world is working in conjunction to fabricate a global conspiracy theory of extremely complex and encompassing lies to go against the 1%. And the 99% manages to manipulate Video, text and live media with some magic technology to produce content that is impossible to recognize as manipulation vs. truth. Meanwhile the 1% regularly displays inaccurate and spun content that is easily debunked but they are the only honest arbiters of truth and reality...it seems you do not quite grasp what propaganda entails.

    A compound straw man, and not really responsive to the very plain claim I posted... but OK, we will go with the derail:

    ...No, the complementary career track between media and government in the U.S. is well-documented and not hidden at all, fully into the light of day. Work in government... then get rich in media... back and forth, back and forth. How many examples do you want? I'll start with book deals and "speaking fees." All brown bag equivalents, all to the taxpayer's detriment. That's no conspiracy, just business as usual in a mass media-state. Moreover, no idea where you get the 99/1 split, certainly not from what I actually posted. The "magic" part is incoherent to boot.

    Durham works for Barr, and Barr LIVES up Trump's behind. The most total toady I can yet recall seeing in the total troop of toadies Trump has surrounded himself with. How CAN these people live with themselves?

    You shouldn't censor FAUX, we need somebody to know what NOT to believe nowadays.

    Wow...so capitalism and popularity as well as taking advantage of said popularity are now also a part of the "Theory"? Also sharing life experience in a book so others can be entertained or learn is an unacceptable action....care to rethink that or is "The Art of the Deal" a religious text? As it is painfully clear that you have a take on this issue that is totally ingrained in your psyche I see no further point.

    Have A Nice Day:)

    Was gonna dismiss as discombobulated ramble typical on this forum, but I kind of understand what you are getting at after reading it -four- times (you really REALLY need to work on that) So here ya go, get educated, you're welcome.

    No, legitimate books that legitimate readers buy is not at all what I am describing. It's quid pro quo $65 million deals like the Obamas got after steering money to the publisher while in office.

    It's the 100+ million in "speaking fees" that the Clintons went around and brown bagged from the EXACT SAME BANKS AND FINANCIAL COMPANIES they suspended the antitrust laws for in the 90s that led directly to "too big to fail" and the eventual mortgage crash and bailouts. From "far RW" CNN:

    https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/05/politics/hillary-clinton-bill-clinton-paid-speeches/index.html

    So because you are apparently unaware of this, here's how it works.

    During the Clinton Administration, the very important antitrust laws of our country somehow "went missing." There was -0- antitrust law enforcement as waves of THOUSANDS of unwise "too big to fail" banking mergers progressed wholly unregulated by our federal government. Then, once out of office, the Clintons went around, brown bags in hand, and -collected- their ex post facto BRIBES from the banks they allowed to merge. Or maybe you think 30 minutes of Hillary speaking is worth a million dollars when she couldn't fill a union hall during the campaign? ROFLMAO.

    It's the STACKS AND STACKS of FIRST EDITION books I see by mostly Democrat politicians in the local outlet store... for $1.99 after they got a decamillions "advance" for their sage words of wisdom.

    Book deals and speaking fees are the vogue ways to launder BRIBES today. It's no conspiracy, done in plain view.

    You deserve the government you tolerate, and if your perceptions of what is going on in government are that unaware, then -you- deserve -exactly- what you get.

    Is it a threat, yes. Should it be censored? No. Are boycotts of companies that advertise with them justified? Absolutely.
    The people at FOXNEWS do not say the anti-American things they do because they actually believe them but because they make money saying them. Let them speak but also let the companies paying them know that you don't care to support them. The companies don't need to come out and denounce the talking heads, just stop paying them and they'll get the message.

    CNN junkie talking about blatant disregard for the truth? That's like being called insane by Hannibal Lecter or toothless by an anteater.

    Is it CNN or people that believe thit here that are the problem? I think the issue goes deep into a party that has done little more than rampant fear mongering for more than an entire generation and is busily trying to replace God with government. The above ridiculous screed concerning Fox News is just another example of that fear mongering.
