The press is the enemy of the people

AKA,

Argumentum ad Nazium

Funny how progressive indoctrinees LOVE that fallacy, when it almost always argues against whatever point they are trying to make...

 

If conservatives are not weak and powerless in these areas.....what is there to complain about? Lol

 

Sure. We're the ones with weak debating skills.

 

It's a simple question. You can run if you want.....but we can all see you do it. Lol

 

LOL. You missed how your hero Trump denied housing in his elitist mansions to blacks.

 

The media is owned by corporate interests, all right wing.

 

..believe whatever conspiracy theory you like. The evidence, from years of political analysis of media reporting, is that the corporate media is overtly biased toward leftist, progressive narratives.

You think the left is not 'corporate!'?

 

You have like a Quote to back up that drool.?

Keep in Mind Hitler had a Ministry of Propaganda.

" All propaganda must be so popular and on such an
intellectual level,that even the most stupid of those towards
whom it is directed will understand it.
Through clever and constant application of Propaganda,people can
be made to see paradise as Hell,and also the other way round, to
consider the most wretched sort of life as Paradise. "
-- Hitler { Mein Kampf } 1925-1926

 

Trump calls that fox news. Lol

 

How did the left get so powerful in this area? Were tanks and guns involved in this takeover?

 

He was a Democrat at that time.

 

Then why is all of their reporting slanted to the left? Every independent study show all media outlets tilt the news to the left, except Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.

 

Depends on who’s controlling, the government or those that own it.

 

Nah, if we the people fight back hard enough with our words against the MSM's words it will never come to bullets and Molotov cocktails.

Our freedom of speech is equal to the MSM's freedom of speech. There's not one damn thing special about them.

 

Indoctrination implies force, but it is legislated and mandated by authority, not by tanks. But collectivist authoritarians are not opposed to tanks.. they need them to censor any opposition.

Progressive Ideological indoctrination in America has not come from military action, but by slow infiltration and domination of human institutions. Tanks will likely come later, to eliminate any opposition. That is the Way of despots.

 

Yes so my question remains. How did the left take over these institutions? Did the right just abdicate their responsibility in these institutions?

 

Just one example and you may google for the rest - NBC is partly owned by GE which is part of the Republican owned military industrial complex. Small wonder why they gleefully reported Bush's imperialistic war ...

 

Wow. The left is really powerful

 

I'm not aware that President Trump ever said "The press is the enemy of the people".

Could you please find me ONE instance where President Trump said those exact words?

IMO, This OP is typical confirmation bias.

 

He clearly called the NY times that.

Are they an enemy of the people?

 

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. ~Thomas Jefferson

I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. ~James Madison

Slow infiltration and corruption of the ideals.. lack of critical oversight from the voters, constant Indoctrination and propaganda from progressive controlled institutions.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. ~Abraham Lincoln

Donald J. Trump

✔@realDonaldTrump


There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news. The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly. That will do much to put out the flame...





This has been posted on the forum numerous times.

 

He has other posts where he names specific news media and calls them an enemy of the people

 

Everyone knows that President Trump considers those media outlets who edit the facts to be fake news.

A perfect example of fake news was the New York Times headline that shouted "Trump Calls the News Media the ‘Enemy of the American People"
while the President actually tweeted "The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!"

President Trump has stated many times that "FAKE NEWS" is the enemy of the people because they don't tell the truth and therefore create further division and turmoil between Americans

 

Yes! The New York Times has made it a point to mis-quote or outright lie about things the President has said or done. They are fake news and an enemy of the people.
