+1 Yes, I agree it's an interesting viewpoint. Probably considerable truth there.


-1 It's pretty hard to believe that conservatives have much of a clue about what the media outside of right wing media reports on, given how many things they consistently get wrong, for example the astoundingly large percentage that believe Trump won the election and that it was stolen from him, the large percentage that underestimate wealth inequality, the fact that only 62% of Republicans even believe in climate change, with only 34% believing that human activity has anything to do with it. That ignores a ton of science. That list of baffling conservative beliefs goes on and on and on and on.

I mean, if they look at non-conservative media sources at all, they must be immediately making an irrational choice that "the left lies, therefore I will believe the opposite?"


PP here. I live in Georgia. The conservatives I know are college educated, not in denial about climate change, work hard, pay taxes, go to church/synagogue/mosque, and often are small business owners. They want tighter controls at our borders, a strong military, lowered inflation, better public education with a focus on academics and vocational training, and violent criminals and repeat criminals kept in prison (or hospitalized longterm for mental health issues).


They are in the minority where it comes to believing climate change. Do they believe that Trump won the election but it was stolen from him? What about all of the other lies that Trump has told and amplified over the years? Do they believe Democrats want "open borders" despite Dem support of the Bipartisan border bill that would have funded physical barriers at the border, more border patrol agents, more surveillance and technology for catching illegal border crossers, along with improving capacity to more quickly deport people who should be deported?

I think the problem is that even if Republicans "know what's on MSM" they have for the last 30+ years been systematically conditioned to believe that everything said by MSM is a lie. People like Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Mark Levin and others claimed that the MSM is lying about everything over and over and over on every show, and it's now culturally ingrained in many conservatives, even ones who never listened to folks like Rush Limbaugh hear it from fellow conservatives who did listen to them. Yes, the MSM does occasionally distort or get things wrong but overall they are far more likely to be telling the truth rather than telling a lie. But since conservatives don't like hearing politically inconvenient truths, they just dismiss them as lies, even though they have no evidence that it's a lie. Meanwhile, they put far more trust and belief in the conservative media outlets because they tell them what they want to hear, even though many conservative media outlets have an even worse track record with the truth than the MSM does.


I mean, after watch the MSM completely asleep at the switch with respect to Biden’s health, I’m beginning to see why they don’t trust the MSM at all. It’s appalling that only the right-wing media was covering what we all know now are serious issues with Biden.


Yet does conservative media cover any of Trump's serious mental health issues, the incoherent nonsensical rambling about sharks and batteries and windmill cancer and how you have to flush the toilet 10 or 15 times, how he slurs his speech, how he constantly fabricates wild stories "they came to me with tears in their eyes and said sir, we have never heard anything so brilliant" or how he's degenerated from being very articulate to now using a 5th grade vocabulary, how he often slurs his speech and can't get common words out - not to mention not questioning any other aspects of his health like when he got his health checkup from White House doctor Ronny Jackson which ludicrously said he was 200lbs when he's obese and clearly closer to 270 lbs, and all of the cardiac issues that come with that... How can you trust conservative media when they do even more lying and spinning and covering up than MSM does?


No, the right-wing media does not cover Trump’s dementia and lies. But you don’t get it: I do not trust the right-wing media. They lie like Trump lies. But what has shifted, what has profoundly shifted, is my trust in the MSM.

The issue isn’t that I’ve started to trust Fox, Daily Wire, etc. The issue is that I no longer trust the MSM. I guess inasmuch as the right-wing media lies like Trump lies, the MSM lies like we now know Biden and the DNC lie.


The first thing they do in a cult is convince you that everyone else is lying. MAGA is a cult.


Nobody has to convince anyone that the MSM has been lying. The proof is in their reporting... or lack of it.
Just a month ago, Biden's cognitive decline was simply a right-wing conspiracy, according to the MSM. Now, we find that many of these reporters have witnessed the decline for months, if not years. And, how many of these reporters have been given questions by the WH like the WURD host?
And, then we have the whole Russian collusion hoax, the laptop being "disinformation," and a slew of other lies that have turned out to be actually truths.

Trump already had 4 years to make America great but instead we had a bunch of disastrous policies, broken promises, hundreds of thousands of Americans dying because they thought a pandemic was a hoax, that vaccines and health measures were all an evil plot, and the economy crashed.


The world wasn’t on fire when Trump was president. It was under Biden that we had the humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan and the loss of lives he doesn’t even remember in a presidential debate, and conflicts from Gaza to Ukraine. It was Biden who swung open the border, to the point that he WSJ reports today that the government placed migrant children in unsafe homes with unvetted guardians (probably for work and sex trade) simply to avoid the bad optics of “caging” them like Obama did. Inflation has roared and the economy soured, and under Biden we have had more covid deaths even with the vaccine.


FACT: Trump unilaterally made that withdrawal deal with the Taliban without consulting the Afghans or any of our allies, and then hamstrung the withdrawal by shutting down the infrastructure needed for getting people out.

FACT: Trump lied and claimed no soldiers were lost on his watch when in fact 3x more American soldiers were killed on his watch than Biden's

FACT: Trump separated migrant kids from their moms and dads, didn't keep records and they got lost in the system, sent off to live with whoever.

FACT: Trump left Biden with a raging COVID dumpster fire, hundreds of thousands sick and dying, idiots believing covid was a "hoax" and that the vaccines were more dangerous than covid, idiots demonizing others for wearing masks and trying to stay healthy, raging inflation driven by Trump's "free money stimmy checks" and fraudulent PPP loans flooding the economy, broken logistics infrastructure and supply chain shortages but Biden was able to end most of that and get our economy headed back in the right direction faster than most other countries did.

-Hunter’s laptop
-that “russian collusion” w/Trump did not happen
-inflation
-coronavirus origins, vaccine dangers

left wing media lied about the above.
democrats lied about the above and still are.


Right wing media/right wing politicians also demonized vaccines in general to the point there are measles and chickenpox outbreaks. It is just bonkers and so incredibly irresponsible.


It was Kamala who said she didn’t trust the vaccine and we all remember that.


To be clear, Kamala didn't trust how Trump would be handling the vaccine.

- The right wing media is lying about Trump's mental health
- 90% of what the right wing media claimed about Biden's laptop (explosive evidence of China collusion and The Big Guy and so on) turned out to be a lie and all they got was "lying on a 4473 form" which is something that millions of pot smoking gun owners have done
- Trump said "Putin can do whatever the hell he wants" and refused to answer a yes or no question about whether he'd pull out of NATO yet right wing media covers for him
- The right wing media distorts and makes false claims about the causes of inflation and blames it on Biden when it was because of Trump's gross mismanagement of the pandemic, lying to the American people downplaying it, and lies that we had it "tremendously under control" when hundreds of thousands were dying
- The right wing media LIES about the dangers of the vaccine. The right wing runs around saying stupid shit like "vaccines are more dangerous than covid" which is flat-out FALSE and "people got myocarditis after getting the vaccine" when in fact you were 9x more likely to get myocarditis from covid if you were unvaccinated.

Your view of MSM bad / right wing media OK is grossly distorted and contains a lot of falsehoods.

Nancy Reagan used to whisper Ronnie answers when he was gone. Hmmm, you hold that guy (all republicans do, as their best president). Republicans are such hypocrites

It’s so bizarre that these clowns are still supporting Trump when your the people he broke promises too. How’s that wall? How’s that new and improved health care plan? Idiots. I knew he was lying when he said it

+1 Yes, I agree it's an interesting viewpoint. Probably considerable truth there.


-1 It's pretty hard to believe that conservatives have much of a clue about what the media outside of right wing media reports on, given how many things they consistently get wrong, for example the astoundingly large percentage that believe Trump won the election and that it was stolen from him, the large percentage that underestimate wealth inequality, the fact that only 62% of Republicans even believe in climate change, with only 34% believing that human activity has anything to do with it. That ignores a ton of science. That list of baffling conservative beliefs goes on and on and on and on.

I mean, if they look at non-conservative media sources at all, they must be immediately making an irrational choice that "the left lies, therefore I will believe the opposite?"


PP here. I live in Georgia. The conservatives I know are college educated, not in denial about climate change, work hard, pay taxes, go to church/synagogue/mosque, and often are small business owners. They want tighter controls at our borders, a strong military, lowered inflation, better public education with a focus on academics and vocational training, and violent criminals and repeat criminals kept in prison (or hospitalized longterm for mental health issues).


They are in the minority where it comes to believing climate change. Do they believe that Trump won the election but it was stolen from him? What about all of the other lies that Trump has told and amplified over the years? Do they believe Democrats want "open borders" despite Dem support of the Bipartisan border bill that would have funded physical barriers at the border, more border patrol agents, more surveillance and technology for catching illegal border crossers, along with improving capacity to more quickly deport people who should be deported?

I think the problem is that even if Republicans "know what's on MSM" they have for the last 30+ years been systematically conditioned to believe that everything said by MSM is a lie. People like Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Mark Levin and others claimed that the MSM is lying about everything over and over and over on every show, and it's now culturally ingrained in many conservatives, even ones who never listened to folks like Rush Limbaugh hear it from fellow conservatives who did listen to them. Yes, the MSM does occasionally distort or get things wrong but overall they are far more likely to be telling the truth rather than telling a lie. But since conservatives don't like hearing politically inconvenient truths, they just dismiss them as lies, even though they have no evidence that it's a lie. Meanwhile, they put far more trust and belief in the conservative media outlets because they tell them what they want to hear, even though many conservative media outlets have an even worse track record with the truth than the MSM does.


I mean, after watch the MSM completely asleep at the switch with respect to Biden’s health, I’m beginning to see why they don’t trust the MSM at all. It’s appalling that only the right-wing media was covering what we all know now are serious issues with Biden.


Yet does conservative media cover any of Trump's serious mental health issues, the incoherent nonsensical rambling about sharks and batteries and windmill cancer and how you have to flush the toilet 10 or 15 times, how he slurs his speech, how he constantly fabricates wild stories "they came to me with tears in their eyes and said sir, we have never heard anything so brilliant" or how he's degenerated from being very articulate to now using a 5th grade vocabulary, how he often slurs his speech and can't get common words out - not to mention not questioning any other aspects of his health like when he got his health checkup from White House doctor Ronny Jackson which ludicrously said he was 200lbs when he's obese and clearly closer to 270 lbs, and all of the cardiac issues that come with that... How can you trust conservative media when they do even more lying and spinning and covering up than MSM does?


No, the right-wing media does not cover Trump’s dementia and lies. But you don’t get it: I do not trust the right-wing media. They lie like Trump lies. But what has shifted, what has profoundly shifted, is my trust in the MSM.

The issue isn’t that I’ve started to trust Fox, Daily Wire, etc. The issue is that I no longer trust the MSM. I guess inasmuch as the right-wing media lies like Trump lies, the MSM lies like we now know Biden and the DNC lie.


the right wing media told the truth about:

-Biden’s decline
-Hunter’s laptop
-that “russian collusion” w/Trump did not happen
-inflation
-coronavirus origins, vaccine dangers

left wing media lied about the above.
democrats lied about the above and still are.


Right wing media/right wing politicians also demonized vaccines in general to the point there are measles and chickenpox outbreaks. It is just bonkers and so incredibly irresponsible.


That's why the government can't afford to lie about just one little thing.
