Just hours after the second assassination attempt on President Trump, CBS is using their 60 Minutes Show how to attack Trump as a “threat to democracy.
Most of mainstream media is not even trying to hide it anymore. They are openly campaigning for Harris.
CBS 60 Minutes could have done this report 6 months, 12 months or 2 years after the January 6 event.
Instead they do this 50 days ahead of the election. We don’t have to ask why because why is obvious.
Who and what are the real threats to democracy here?
In case you missed it, please see Trump Is O.K. In Another Assassination Attempt, the Suspect Captured
If I were the sovereign God of all, I would assure that these people are held to the same standard they say they used on these men and women. They are soulless screeching ghouls who deserve nothing but contempt.
It’s like listening to someone dead serious but in a state of complete amnesia. All big media now has anti Trump videos scripted as investigated stories we will see every week from now til election time. Sickos thats what they do,
you people do realize that it was NOT that long ago when POLITICIANS actually OWNED newspapers out in the open and NOBODY cared. what a bunch of pearl clutching little sissies amerikans have become.
“Rosebud!”
Here’s someone also complaining about the MEDIA. Hope this helps make some of you happy now.

The ABC so-called moderators were front running for Harris, not Trump.
Just remember, Mail-in ballots make it easy to cheat. Jan 6 would have never happened if there was no mail-in ballot process.
Trump and Hillary both blame someone else. Both are responsible for their own defeat.
I do not like mail-in votes. But blaming the loss on them is false.
Instead of trying to get out the vote, Trump was moaning.
Take away his belittling and and name calling and he would have won.
Blame that.
Trump is an ass. That is why he lost and why he may lose again.
If Trump was running a good campaign now, he would probably be ahead by 6 points. Instead, it’s too close to call.
trump is a narcissist and a nihilist. he does not care if he loses or wins. he just likes the grift and the limelight. he’s a cry for help.
Hillary’s 2-headed coin worked pretty well against Bernie in the 2016 primaries.
granted the timing is suspect.
But that age old adage where there’s smoke there’s fire does apply to Trump. whereas I like his economics, and reduction of red tape. I have a distaste for his Morals if even Morals can be assigned to him.
Who and what are the real threats to democracy here? That’s the quintessential question. Ross Perot had the answer. Both the Give-away-artist and the Smoot Hawley fraudster are not Ross Perot. That should generate some negative likes.
You’re right, of course. Pretty hard to back down the highway when the last exit was passed 28 years ago.
i just want to put this out there, Ryan Routh did not hang himself.. now that he is in FBI custody.
They could have used Jan 6th to imprison Trump long ago. However that would put Biden/Kamala up against someone they couldn’t beat. So they allowed Trump to stay on the ticket and kept Jan 6th in their back pocket for when things go south. This “Trump is evil” report right after attempt #2 is a cheap shot to counter-act the surge in polls he will get from dodging another bullet.
The problem is, they’re right. Trump should burn for Jan 6th and the Stop the Steal BS. But don’t think for a second that means Kamala isn’t a dictator wannabe. Four years of her sticky socialist nails in things will make the world beg for Trump.
I’m just an outside bystander in this, but I’d say a narcissistic moron is the lesser evil to a conniving marxist. However if I had a choice, I’d write in Viveck, or go third party. A lame duck nobody is better than either of these two hellions at the wheel.
Serious case of TDS, please seek counseling.
Likewise
DeSantos was the most obvious choice and he could beat Biden or Harris easily. So I bet the DNC/MSM rigged polls to make Trump look unbeatable in primaries.He was their perfect opponent. But Democrats are SO BAD that they are still neck and neck with an appointed opponent and Joe Biden’s dementia
I agree. DeSantos would have mopped the deck with Biden or Harris. I still like Vivek more though, even if he will never get the ticket. He’s as close to a libertarian as a republican can legally get.
Write-in Pence, you’ll feel better.
Trump IS a threat to democracy. He wants to be a dictator, and the wealthy people that back him only do so because they know they can manipulate him with flattery. They want a dictator in their pocket so they can take what everyone else has.
Stupid people are dangerous, and trump is REALLY freakin’ stupid. He’s a threat to anything he gets his sticky little hands on: The casinos he bankrupted, the students he scammed with his ‘school’. The charities he stole from.
Stupid people demand stupid representation though, so here we are.
So as a counterpoint, please explain exactly how Kamala demonstrated her superior intellect and how she is not controlled by the wealthy elites. Bonus if you mention an endorsement by the likes of Dick Cheney.
I hear Kamala is also getting an endorsement from Donald Rumsfeld. But he’s dead.
Doesn’t matter, she is a Democrat.
Rumsfeld is from the Chicago north shore suburbs, same area as Rahmmy-baby and Merrick Garland, so its fine. They need the votes, no Hatians up there in Wilmette, Winnetka, Northbrook, Highland Park, Lincolnshire, Glencoe, Kenilworth. . How can that be?
And you think Harris, who was installed and not chosen is not a threat to democracy? Get your head on straight. Also it is nutcase democrats that have tried to kill Trump twice, Democrats do not want democracy, they want a dictatorship.
I love dictator talk. Here’s some more words to use. Dictatoress. Hitler. Totalitarian. Fascist. Napoleon. NAZI. Autocrat. Tyrant. Despot. Oppressor. Fuehrer. Have fun!
Democrats want people to think Trump wants to be a dictator. It’s projection.
Who and what are the real threats to democracy here?
—
It is still Trump.
The Democrat Party, which keeps pretending they are protecting democracy while working to destroy it.
Well, at least you are admitting by your ‘democracy’ that you have the blood of 600,000 dead young Ukrainians on your hands.
I don’t see this as campaigning for Harris. The evidence on Jan 6th will come out before the election. Trump was President on this day and failed as President. I could forgive President Trump on many things but his embrace of white supremacists and his refusal to accept an election outcome that was in fact fair and legal, was the a line I won’t cross. I voted for him in 2016.
Now that the office of the Presidency is immune from official acts, don’t be surprised if Biden uses that power. The Supreme Court may regret they ever made that decision.
White supremacists, insurrectionists and impending dictatorships, oh my! The list of
What may come out is who planted the bombs on Jan 6. Hint: it wasn’t Trump.
And a question for you. Why were the Republican choices for the Jan 6 Committee not allowed by Pelosi?
Everyone who wore their hardware store drywall dust masks was immune 4 years ago.
With the large number of negative likes on particular comments, this post was a good litmus test for the strong leanings of the majority of followers of this website. Interesting stuff.
It depends oh how you think about this subject. Can people be fair minded and point out a wrong against someone they adamantly detest above others for no really solid reason? The evidence would suggest ‘No’
Is that you Robert Reich? Only a deluded partisan or an aparatchik would call this site a “Trump propaganda outlet.” for pointing out the obvious bias in the MSM. Overall, January 6th was a protest tha went a bit too far out of bounds – it had zero chance of making any difference or threatening government. The same people that emphasize the “criminality” of those protesters are the same cowardly people that stay mum about the riots in Baltimore and Kenosha. Those are conveniently called “protests” to skew perception.
Biased reporting is one thing, but when it reaches the point of deliberate ‘brain washing’; it is election interference. Doubtless some will disagree, further proof that mind control still continues in addled minds.
Despite what you might think, I am not advocating for Trump–he’s not the ‘statesman’ we need; however some thing are ‘beyond the pale.’
The US no longer has a president capable of tying his shoelaces. Remember Pelosi’s position at the end of Trump’s term? Hypocrisy of the highest order, and it belongs to the Democrats!
All citizens should be appalled. To anyone with a functioning brain, allowing brain-dead Biden to finish his term, when there is VP ready to step in, reeks of incompetence and disregard for the nation’s safety.
So, why hasn’t Harris taken over the reins? To enable her to run her campaign is the obvious answer. However, more likely is she is so incompetent it must be hidden until after she’s elected. Sound familiar.
“… we have to ‘elect the President’ so that you can find out what (she really is), away from the fog of (politics)…” Pelosi 2010.
Bingo, right on point.
Trump 48%: Kamala 43%. After becoming a president how will Trump protect himself from those who tried to oust him and to assassinate him. Presiden Vance doesn’t have the same issues.
Ak-47 isn’t likely to hit a target from 300 yards away, even a big man like Trump
You spend a lot of time at the range, apparently.
300 yards is within the effective range of an AK-47. There are Aks and then there are AKs. When the news media says “AK-47” they might as well be saying “big scary rifle”
If you look at the picture of it against the fence, it is a scoped SKS with an extended magazine.
Haha. I hadn’t seen it but that’s typical. If a ‘journalist’ says ‘AK-47’ my automatic response is it could anything from Ruger 10/22 to a AR-10
Speaking of scary rifle, I’m glad I have mine, as the Democrats being in power scares me. Look at the UK and the mess they are in, folks getting serious jail time for tweets the government does not like, having a disarmed public is the result, as the powers in charge can abuse the populace with no serious repercussions.
It was an SKS not an AK47. Has a longer range, still not the most accurate rifle though.
The Democrat Party is the obvious threat to democracy. Democrats project on others, what they themselves are doing. CBS/NBC/ABC Propaganda, are agents of the Democrat Party. Obama said he was 5 days from fundamentally changing America. Democrats attack the Constitution, which stands in their way, while they falsely swear to uphold it. They are the insurrectionists, seeking to overturn what the founding fathers created.
Censorship is anti democracy. Democrats support censorship, as they want complete control. Free speech is a threat to complete control. It is Democrats who hate Musk and his freer speech version of Twitter. It is a threat to autocratic Democrats and European governments.
Ron J, you get it!

I read somewhere (maybe here) that the median age of viewers of these mainstream media is around 70 years old. It remains to be seen whether this segment of the population easily changes sides. If everything is already set for them, this kind of show is useless.
Probably a bit high but not too far off. Younger people spend their time watching videos on YouTube and TikTok, which is where the Taylor Swift endorsement of Harris will matter.
If you want to study “this segment of the population”, you are in the right place 🙂
@Mish oh please cry me a river…. All the Murdoch empire has been supporting Trump from day one in 2016 to the extreme (including lying about 2020). By that I mean all their publishing empire: Fox, WSJ, NYP, etc. So I really laugh when the tinfoil hat people here talk about MSM and not a peep about Fox talking about brainwash. And BTW how is a naturalized citizen who admitted to push lies for ratings (money) and incited Jan 6 events does not get deported? Funny
What happened on Jan 6 2020 is yet to be revealed. What we saw was a carefully sanitized version intended to convey a message. Think about what that message might be before assigning ‘tinhat’, because what you are doing is shooting the messenger.
This is NOT to minimize what happened on Jan 6, but if there was nothing to hide, why not release every shred of evidence? Put it all out there. Instead, evidence is destroyed, or held back–which means cover-up. And you’ve been suckered again.
The truth is that outside the pro-Trump outlets the news-entertainment complex is vociferously anti-Trump and pro-woke.
Murdoch represent the old Romney/McConnell/McCain wing of the party. They hate Trump. (But they love the ratings/$ he brings them)
Don’t forget the Bush-Cheney war criminal wing.
I stopped watching 60 Minutes years ago. Other than the occasional NFL game, I never watch CBS.
Having personally known the inside story of a 60 Minutes show, I know the show is biased crap purporting to be reporting.
Which defines most news reporting. So stick your head in the ground like the proverbial ostrich and you’ll be protected.
Illinois Power Company recorded them splicing and dicing an ‘expose’ interview about the Clinton Illinois nuclear power plant. 60 Minutes had to do a complete on-air retraction.
Well, thanks for sharing! What exactly should we be reading into your back slapping statement? That everyone should follow in YOUR footsteps?
Same here. Haven’t watched 60 Minutes in > a decade & don’t even watch broadcast TV any more.
Haven’t watched any of it since the last “Murder…………………………….she wrote.”
I’ve found it’s like talking to sock puppets when reminding people they should think critically about both candidates. Kamala Harris is not all butterflies and rainbows, no matter what picture she tries to paint about herself. Trump talked himself up while Kamala substitutes empty imagery instead. Same thing.
Agreed. It is an indictment of both parties, and the populace generally, that the choice is between Harris and Trump.
Putin told Tucker Russia deals directly with the CIA. The last three US Presidents had no authority on anything.
I firmly believe the same goes for most major networks along with many other aspects of US entertainment and media. The CIA controls it. In my home we haven’t watched TV in years for this reason. I don’t even care for Trump but it’s clearly obvious things are not what they seem.
It’s not even some conspiracy if one starts looking into celebrities that have been tied to US propaganda going back even further than the creation of the CIA. Is Taylor Swift’s endorsement this late organic? Highly unlikely.
Everyone knows Putin wouldn’t lie so I believe whatever he says.
“Safe and effective” was a lie. The whole global authoritarian Covid response was a lie. There was no science behind it at all. The corruption of Google,Facebook,Twitter,CBS/NBC/ABC, etc, had more of an effect on the 2020 election than Putin. The 2022 invasion of Ukraine wasn’t unprovoked either, as even Pope Francis acknowledged. Living in the U.S. it is my own government lying to me, which concerns me most.
The Covid response was a massive group think by public servants.
A response to my down voter.
Perhaps you can justify the response of the Dept of Education as something other than group think. Why don’t you give it a shot?
Yes,it was a psy-op. The flu just “disappeared” for a season. And the whales from the Chicago Teachers Union stayed home for almost 2 years, led by Randi Weingarten. .
Why would Putin need to lie about this? He stated a fact. Inter-agency coms started way back to avoid people in govt without the brains to understand what they’re looking at
I think you misunderstand Putin’s point. Inter-agency communications exist for reasons of exigency. To always go through channels… US State Dept or White House puts too many filters in place. If CIA or NSA need approval, they’ll get it at the Daily Briefing.
Last President actually in charge of the government was Eisenhower. Any Presidents showing any form of resistance were dispatched (or attempted to be dispatched) by any means necessary. JFK, Nixon, Regan, (*Sanders – denied nomination twice by DNC) & Trump. You either play the game or else.
Is Fox openly campaigning for anyone?
I appreciate the implicit admission that the rest of the media is basically the same thing as fox news. Even if it took 20 years to come to this realization better late than never. Welcome to the reality that the thesaurus lists journalist as a synonym for propagandist.
Same as it ever was. ‘Yellow journalism’ is an old term. Even notable names like ‘Pulitzer’ knowingly published bunk to boost sales. Media is a business, same as it ever was.
You provide the pictures, I’ll provide the war.
if we can’t ignore it, we’ll report it, we’re the news….
Exactly. If the media would stop featuring pro-Hamas photos and videos sent to them by Hamas agents, no one would give a crap about Palestinian civilians being killed. Sams as no one cares about Sunda, Rohingyas, Uyguhs, etc.
They represent Republicans. The others represent Democrats. How you vote tells what networks you watch, and vice versa.
Fox censure works overtime.
FOX was a response to the corrupt leftist mainstream media. As Mika said on Microsoft/NBC, it is their job to tell us what to think. Funny, i thought they were supposed to tell us the unvarnished news, while we think for ourselves. Fortunately, i didn’t let them think “safe and effective” for me.
Haha! You watch Morning Joe? hahaha
Is Morning Joe also Rachel Maddow with a different wig and glasses?
They ar eagain leaning heavily towards Trump. Old habits are hard to kill.
I think about Media coverage in this way: THE MORE that they repeat a message or narrative, the MORE that I find it incredible and questionable. IT IS MY WAY OF DETECTING TRUTHS OR LIES.
Covid News is a great example. When the Mainstream Press is pushing-pushing-pushing and SCREAMING a message, with FEAR PORN-LIKE terminology, we KNOW IT IS A LIE.
Not exactly. Covid was a process that revealed just how ineffective govt was at solving problems with incomplete information–that is dealing with risk and uncertainty. Govt followed Plan B-3a-i… Trump wanted to close the borders (which might’ve helped had it been done soon enough), but Pelosi got involved.
I agree. That is why the story of the 2nd supposed assassination attempt on Trump all over the news stations today must be questioned and even ignored as a hoax of some kind, likely created by Trump’s media managers to boost sympathy for Trump’s failing campaign..
The secret service agent who saw the gun barrel sticking out of the bushes must have 20/0 eyesight! Yet he couldn’t even wound the supposed attacker.
It was the German Shepherd dog from Hogan’s Heroes who found the guy,
The 60 Min segment, to preserve our democracy, started a few hours after Trump’s second assassination attempts within 60 days. What’s going on in the USA ??
When I attended journalism school in the 70s we all admired 60 Minutes-NO LONGER. They now fall into the Marxist Media camp [as do much of US lamestream media] Today’s youth have been indoctrinated into swallowing this socialist nonsense and are no longer taught how to think – only what to think.
project mockingbird via the CIA, began in the 1950’s with Capital Cities which became ABC. David Sarnoff – RCA was a Rothschild creation working with Cecile Rhodes through the British government, they established radio stations in all embassies, allowing front running of financial and political situations. They stole many of Tesla’s patents to build their stations without licensing the patents and used Marconi as a front man to claim he invented radio. Its fascinating how much they’ve f@ckeup history.
So yeah its a long path that leads to state control of all mass media, including the internet.
Sarnoff also stole Farnsworth’s patents.
I noticed the episode was on last night, but I didn’t think about the timing of it being so close to the election. Democrat propaganda for sure.
Had to be pre recorded right? So if they had any decency they would have pulled it no?
The Democratic party has been taken over by not just the far left, the domestic and foreign money that controls and works for the DNC, be it, Soros, Clintons, Gates Foundation, Zuckerberg, Muslim Brotherhood, China, its all the there if you open your eyes and following the money and the media.
I think CBS thought it important to remind the US what Trump as President really looks like.
as if … CBS’s logo is a giant eye looking at you. Think about it.
THis is the Democrat playbook. NO need to mess with the voting system. Just control the minds of voters. Wait until October.

I watched the Steelers game. I rarely watch 60 Min. Ryan Roth 58 from Hawaii flew to Ukraine to support the war, though he has no military training. His son Adam : I know nothing about FL. His other son Oren : he is a good loving father. Roth to Biden : change the campaign slogan to KADAF : Keep America democratic and free. Trump’s slogan MASA : make America slaves again. KADAF : Kamala Anti Democracy And Freedom. KADAFI fits better. Roth supported Trump, but switched to Bernie. He made fun of Biden.
The USA, land of the once-free, now ‘land of mindless memes.’
and memes that are landmines for the minds of our unsophisticated and internet addicted population.
“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”
60 Minutes has been the TOP news program for the last 50 years! Anyone not watching 60 Minutes is going to be an uninformed loser.
I take your “service to this group” to mean that anything YOU admire is exactly what we should not!
You are a thermostat for inanity. KEEP UP THIS SERVICE, please.
“Anyone not watching 60 Minutes is going to be an uninformed loser.”
I am not aware of 60 Minutes exposing how dangerous the Covid shot are. Back in the 1970’s they did an expose on the unsafe Swine Flu shots, which i saw on YouTube some time ago, during the Covid pandemic.
yes the original poster would be wise to understand he is being manipulated by the status quo providing him with meaningless metrics they have concocted to prove their thesis. its the “TOP TV PROGRAM” – ie damning with faint praise, and who determines this and how is this data tested for validity etc.
some people fall for everything they read apparently
“some people fall for everything they read apparently”
BUT not self-defined smart guys like yourself? [lol]
Yeah, yeah. I agree and I have never taken a Covid shot myself. I have also had Covid twice and recovered nicely each time.
But one or two or three bad examples doesn’t negate their total record. Whew.
Andy Rooney got into trouble a couple of times when he told the truth.
Everyone’s hating on Trump except his low-IQ deplorables! I’m telling y’all. It’s going to be a landslide in favor of Harris. Trump is going to be so upset, he may leap from top of Trump Towers in NYC.
I recommend you go watch some reruns of Hunters laptop is Russian misinformation, Russia collusion and so on The dossier bought to you by the Democrats all lies all supported and fed to the MSM by the government agencies
Newsflash! Biden isn’t running any longer No one cares about Hunter’s laptop. Move on.
“With the Help of Ex-Reagan Staffers”? They must be all about 90 years old now but I am sure that they all have a deep knowledge of what younger Republicans feeling now and can lead them away from Trump and back into 1980’s Reagan policies. All 90-year-olds that I know have their wizened fingers on the pulse of what people 50- and 60-years younger are thinking.
Wisdom comes with age is an old adage.
ha ha ha. those old raygunites were just pure warhawks. the modern MAGA party is a cult of kooks more like charlie manson’s acid head family chics
Thank you, GOJO, you have done us all a favor in letting us know what to ignore.
citing MotherJones is a red flag that even a blind bull can’t ignore. Somehow the left went from slightly crazy to entirely mad in less than a decade.
With statements like that it is clear that you are immature thinker. Attack the data. NOT the source.
Let’s talk about those ‘low IQ deplorables.’ Who are they, again? According to Hillary, the ‘basket of deplorables’ are “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic”
I don’t think she mentioned IQ. By the way, do you have proof that IQ is related to Hillary’s five ‘slurs?”
Hillary went on to call out Trump’s “hateful, divisive campaign.” In fact, her campaign was worse–her deplorables comment being the proof.
By definition, anyone who supports Trump is low IQ. They may or may not be deplorable but deplorables themselves are always low IQ.
trump will get beat bad. and if not,there is always cheating and stealing, and it seems that assasination attempts are also in play against the fat opera makeup wearing pop star from my home town of queens…….
“Mainstream media” is not the right word because their viewership is a fraction of what it once was. “Legacy media” would be a better term. They have lost over half of their audiences in the last twenty years. I would like to say that other media has taken up that lost audience but unfortunately that is not the case. The shortfall largely comes from a general lack of interest in all news in a growing segment of the general population. It’s a cultural shift in preferences from news to entertainment.
bingo. it’s idiocracy. so now even financial blogs have become sewers of nit wits and cults…….the economist just stopped all their comment sections long ago now. was too bad. that had great information with commenters from all over the globe explaining and debating the topics in the best newspaper, the economist. now my favorite source is the asia times. i hope it doesn’t get polluted with idiocracy values amerika has manufactured
As an aside, Theirry Breton just announced he “resigned” from the European Commission. Apparently, his letter to Musk wasn’t appreciated.
It’s sad to see how far you’ve fallen Mish, having to cater to right wing nut bars in order to keep your site going.
You might want to write about that sometime …
Such deep intellect. You are a perfect example of what this country has fallen DOWN towards: ignorance, eating too much sugar, and ridden with brain fade. I am suspecting that you will die soon.
Harris campaign intern level outrage. Please return to the safe space now.
i was thinking the same thing. i remember coming here to read about the r/e bubble and it’s bursting…….with economics being front and center. now everything from dumb football players, pop singers, reality tv stars are political. trump is just the culmination of the amerikan population being nit wits and downright morons………hat tip HL Mencken. it happened.
No tax on tips to Mencken.
exactly how far will they go? Don’t ask.
Any Dem who seriously wants Trump killed at this stage is seriously insane. Firstly a civil war might well break out. JD Vance might well win in a landslide and he is much more serious and more intelligent than DJT in terms of taking on the deep state. And in better health.

CIA et al will keep trying to kill him until he is dead. He is a danger to their budget, and actions,same as JFK was.
It’s a fight for survival on both sides
If the CIA wanted him dead he would be dead already but he is not.
I suspect the CIA has already tried.
The CIA approached CBS way back in the beginning, towards their inception as a television station. CBS radio was always pro-Democrat. In fact, media has always been pro-Democrat, going back to Woodrow Wilson. None of this is a surprise.
Luce of Time Magazine was also a CIA asset. Read CHAOS by Tom O’Neill and Paul Kengor’s books. I also was just tipped off to Kent Clizbe, a former Fed, now writing for freedom loving Americans. He has extensive knowledge of covert operations from his experience, and he writes on Substack.
fireside chats
Fox, OAN, Newsmax, AM Radio, WSJ, New York Post, etc campaign for Republicans and Trump all day every day. That’s the way it is these days.
WSJ hates Trump. It is openly pro-harris. They even hate Musk. Fox hates Trump but has no choice since he is the Repub candidate. They would have preferred Haley. Nobody cares about the other media
It’s a joke when anyone talks about “the media”. There is just as much media that blatantly shills and supports Republicans as there is of the dreaded “liberal media!”
You basically named one and it’s the same one clowns like you mention every time–Fox. So repetitive. How about CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, CNN, TBS–Huge TV media enterprises. Now do print: Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, big national print media. You could also pick nearly every large metropolitan newspaper including their online news. Now do radio. Now do online news sources that are not fringe on either side. How about Google/YouTube, Apple, Microsoft, Meta/Facebook–you know, the MASSIVE GLOBAL search, phone and social media behemoths. And all the left ever says is “Fox”. Every. Time.
Like I say about Harris supporters–tell me why you support her without using Trump’s name or citing abortion (which SCOTUS has ruled is no a national issue he can control any more than the left can). Good luck.
LOL, so let’s compare market reach, market value, subscribers, etc of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta and the reach of the other orgs vs your non-Fox list like OAN or Newsmax.
Stop, it’s silly.
Who brags every day about being the highest rated 24 hour news channel? Fox?
What percentage of AM radio shows are conservative (90+ percent).
As Fox has gotten “not right enough”, what channels have increased market share the most? Newsmax and OAN.
Any “news” consumer can get their news wherever they want. And, as with the electorate, it’s about 50/50. And, since these outlets operate in a capitalistic framework, they have all found that “telling the news” does not bring in the ratings. Appealing to one side or the other, regardless of “truth” is the way to make profits.
And, it’s the same on both sides.
Mish tends to point out the “left leaning” hits, while ignoring that “right leaning” outlets do the same, if not worse, on a daily basis, 24/7.
Yeah AM radio channels are close in size, stature and reach as Apple, Google, Meta/Facebook, Microsoft. I mean ffs. We saw that reach during the pandemic when they censored everything and tracked our phones even if we disabled location-based services. I mean can you reasonably argue that YouTube (Google), MSN/Microsoft, Apple, Google/Android and even Amazon via “Search” results curation are well, gosh, gee, almost the same as those 90% AM radio stations? Apparently so, but you’re just being silly.
No one can reasonably point soley to Fox while ignoring those behemoth enterprises I just mentioned. Where does Alphabet/Google, MSFT, AMZN, AAPL fit vs the reach of Fox? Their market share growth has grown because there is no other conservative MSM voice and I would argue they are not very conservative. Your argument makes the point–there is only ONE MSM voice vs 1,000 Left voices and the size, scope and reach is beyond compare. Now add in how large the Federal government is and how they themselves vote–do you think they don’t abuse that power to persuade from within? Now add in universities, governance of the largest U.S. cities.
I am surprised the conservatives fair so well given the disparity but I believe it’s due to bad policy on the left that ultimately becomes distasteful the more one grows older and the more left the left has moved.
these people on this blog are blinded by their team colors. anyone remember another billionaire who was mayor of NYC and ran in the Repug primaries. all while he controlled and owned a major MEDIA COMPANY. ffs it’s wild how easy it is to divide and conquer the middle brows. hat tip machievelli for penning the how to manual.
True, but those of us who grew up before Fox News used to think of CBS, NBC, ABC, as “the news” (unbiased) until it became apparent that they were pro-Dem, anti-GOP. Thus the rise of Fox, and its popularity for people who have rebelled against totalitarianism (one way of thought, one party). Conservative media usually portrays Dems as wrongheaded, while liberal media portrays GOP as immoral and “hateful”, which is how you get multiple assassination attempts on Trump. If we ever have re-education camps, it will be at the hands of libs, not conservatives. You know it’s true if you search your heart…
I disagree completely.
In my opinion, other news was more “middle of the road” back in the day, even the now hated CNN. When Fox news came around, with it’s laughably ludicrous slogan “Fair and Balanced” and proceeded to take such market share, the other networks had no choice but to respond and go left.
Conservative media is brutal to liberals, all day every day. And portrays anyone who isn’t in lockstep with them as radicals, pussies, socialists, communist, baby killers, sex traffickers, pedo’s, etc.
Liberals I know are nothing of the sort.
What amazes me is that Fox has been able to do all this, somehow going from supporting people like Bush, McCain, Romney, etc, and then now doing it somehow supporting Trump who is the complete opposite of Fox’s former favorite “conservatives”.
It’s clear that Fox is in it to make money, to stir the pot. But they thankfully provide an alternative to the drivel on the left.
I listen to NPR. Some of their segments are of value (i.e. Marketplace). But 97% of the time they’re all about pumping liberal values. They’ll have a Republican Congressman on, argue and debate with them and then have a roundtable with their “in house” expert…after the guest is off the air, to repudiate everything the guest said. Every sentence they speak, all day, is carefully crafted and framed in such a way as to abhor conservative values. Sometimes I wonder if these seemingly intelligent folks ever get tired of pimping the same BS day in and day out. I really do wish NPR was required to employ and do programs from BOTH liberal and conservative points of view. That would be an incredible public service.
El Capitan, you neglected to include the two unbiased billionaires with the very own media platforms:
Musk has X and King Chaos has Truth Social.
Such useful news spews:
“They are eating our dogs” – not true and the Haitians are legal
“I hate Taylor Swift” – Trump hates everyone and we don’t have the time to review his childishly long list.
Mish, let’s play the “Career Prosecutor” drinking game. Chug one down every time “Career Prosecutor” is mentioned reverently in that 90 second clip…as if Career Prosecutor means “Good, Pure, and unbiased”.
60 minutes lost me with their propaganda during the pandemic. I have them categorized as untrustworthy-propaganda.
I remember a time decades ago when they did actual journalism that was worth watching which made it one the most watched programs. It’s been a long time since it was relevant.
They were always one-sided propaganda, but more Americans were gullible in the olden days. Now only about 49% believe government and the media. They’re called democrats.
60 Minutes may as well be a house organ for the Democrat party.
And that organ is the anus.
We need to bring back the Fairness Doctrine; after all they are using public airwaves.
All you need to know is Kamala Harris said she would use the DoJ to go after social media companies unless they censor “misinformation”. As deifined by the lying scum of the US Government, who are controlled by the “CIA” and lie about every single thing
Donald Trump on the other hand said he would immediately issue an executive order preventing EVERY member of the Executive Branch from engaging in censoship by contacting social media or 3rd parties to contact social media to censor.
That is a direct repudiation of the Supreme Court which has authorized unlimited Government Censorship as long as it is not direct.
If you have censorship, you no longer have democracy. At all. No informed public. All voting completely meaningless
I wrote about all of these things at my substack bangpath.substack.com
Those who censor are the threat to Democracy. That means Democrats and the “CIA” Candidate Kamala Harris
As for CBS. 2 things. 1. The 2020 election was in fact stolen. Joe Biden is not a legitimately elected President. And 2. Jan 6 was an FBI/CIA entrapment scheme to prevent any challenges to the electors on the floor of Congress.
CBS is lying CIA controlled media. The only reason to watch it is to see what the “CIA” is saying. Everything CBS and all corporate media says is a lie. About everything.
Harris can’t legally do anything as long as section 230 protections remain in place.
But it would be good to see someone put a damper on all the conspiracy theories that float around here and elsewhere.
Your a joke ! Conspiracy theories like get you covid shots you won;t get covid and you can’t pass it along. Hunter Bidens lap top is Russia misinformation. Trump colluded with Putin Russia collusion all lies and pushed by MSM and the US government agencies. I recommend you go watch some Madcow Msnbc reruns of Russia collusion there are thousands of hours all lies but brain dead people still believe that garbage ..
So your solution to expression that you don’t like is censorship? Why
I’m not calling for censoring facts, just BS conspiracy theories that get the low IQ’s all riled up.
I upvoted you fro broad generalities; however, until there is substantive proof about items 1,2 they remain issues of debate–assumptions of fact would be generous. I think if Trump gets elected, we might see some of the proof.
Regime media. They are the actual threat to the Republic, our sovereignty, and our Liberty. Never forgive them for what they’ve done to the nation and its citizens.
