...that the media supports big business, corporations, and the Republican Party, it all starts to make more sense. They tell stories, they obfuscate, they distort, they take polls, all in an effort to get you to believe their narrative of political reality. FOX is a branch of the Republican Party, as are most media outlets, even those that you may think are "liberal", and once you accept the media as your political enemy, then you are standing on more solid ground.

(12,448 posts)Another thing I believe most people forget; Everyone you see on TV and almost everyone you hear or read is rich. They are the 1%, or however you want to put it. They are not like you, when the radio jerk talks about how this or that effects "people like us", he is lying. He is not like you at all, he makes more every week or two week than you do all year, and that's only the beginning of the differences between his life and yours.

It might as well say "I'm as clueless as a box of rocks" because there hasn't BEEN a liberal media in this country since the early 90s.
