    • Well they don’t report anything good the president ever does, they skip over any intergovernmental cooperation, they basically demoralize us and they NEVER give context for anything. It’s just black and white / good and bad / no nuance no real-to-life complexity. And Fox News has its own set of problems as well. All they do now is report on how bad other news is.

      • Depending on what side you follow they have completely opposing accounts of the same story. A great way to stop disagreements from ever being settled is to make sure neither group actually knows what the other group's actual agrument is.

        • That last part is the key. So many people are completely oblivious to what the other side actually thinks, because all they hear are the strawman arguments on their favorite TV or radio shows. All these shows care about is creating a debate, because that brings in ratings, which brings in money.

          It’s funny, because both sides mirror each other in so many ways. Like the issue of wearing masks in public. “I refuse to live in fear” say the people afraid of a little piece of fabric, “don’t be a sheep” say the people who refuse to wear a mask because other people convinced them it was un-American to wear one, “Don’t believe everything the news tells you” say the people who believe everything they read on Facebook or hear in church. That pointing Spider-Man meme plays out all day every day, all across the country, and people are completely oblivious to it.

          • The problem is the news isn't just news. it's bots and fake information online, you can't find amateur recorded footage of any alleged riots on youtube.

            They show up, and are deleted. Listen to the mockingbird. CIA controls all media and censors information. News is all propaganda and strawman arguments. How helpful are they when it snows and they take over every channel to talk about having to shove driveways for 3 hours? It's a fake show that keeps the population in fear.

            Right now they're trying to start a race war because they don't want police authority questioned. Because police are authority. Make it so people don't want a better life.

              • They don't have to lol, how many people are actually going to read my comment?

                A 8 hour video showing police allowing riots to happen while actively starting violent confrontations with protesters would actually change a lot of peoples minds about what's going on if it was widely circulated, so it gets taken down.

                Censorship is easier than deleting every bit of dissenting information. There's no way to prevent stuff from getting out online. You just limit the impact the dissention is making. Anyone making credible truther videos gets them bumped so far down the search results you can't find them. I can go out in the street and ring a bell and yell my information to people and hand out flyers, they aren't going to shoot me because most people who pass by are going to think im nuts and ignore me or not actually follow up and reaserch the stuff. There's tons of troubling declassified government information availible online, just most people don't care enough to look for it.

            • If they showed amateur videos of riots we might see the fires being set by white people(with connections to the police and/or white nationalist groups) and all the bricks and other projectiles neatly laid out before the protesters even arrive. That’s not good for the narrative.

              People have been using fear to control the masses for thousands of years. It was originally the sole purpose of religion, before people realized they could also use it to make money. Even if the CIA did have the ability to control all media, they wouldn’t have to. This is the natural result of a lazy, uneducated populace with a short attention span that just wants to be told they’re right and given someone else to look down on and blame their problems on. People don’t care if their life is better as long as somebody else(who doesn’t look or sound like them) has it worse. The people who tell the truth don’t have to be censored because nobody listens to them anyway. It’s all in plain site. We can all see Trump controlling Fox News with his Twitter account, positive reinforcement when they say something he likes and negative reinforcement when they say something he doesn’t. It’s just like watching someone train their dog by giving them treats when they do something right or yelling at them when they do something wrong.

              • I seem to remember we had a whole big dumb argument a while back.

                People who tell the truth are easily censored because nobody listens to them, that's the key. The FBI and CIA can censor this conversation but it isn't even worth it because the minds that we're changing here wont even equal one person. We had a whole detailed argument on space station propaganda and neither one of us even convinced each other of anything. Nobody read it on this dumb website but the two of us.

                It's that easy. Whole 8 hour long videos of police instigating violence with protesters with COINTELPRO operatives rallying the fed up mob to commit violence, nobody wants to watch that anyway because it's too long. Look up Minneapolis riots on youtube and scroll til you find a livestreamed video. Don't worry, the news reporters took 10 hours of unrest and compressed it into a minute and a half video so you know what happened.

                Mainstream media is operation mockingbird, but they don't control everything. They don't need to. A video you post on youtube right now with an obscure message isnt going to get a lot of views. If your theory gets too real people call you a flat earth retard becuase THIS WEEK AT NASA is a joke youtube channel. They edit out the stuff that makes people question the narrative
