....of viewers compared to earlier years. I don't watch it too much anymore. People; especially the youngsters have already caught on about the billionaire networks who have their monkeys talk for them.

I would like to see if there is a liberal coalition out there moving to counter this brainwashing of our country....I'm older and feel we have to start a new objective network to teach the truth. I'm thinking the Internet underground is growing, but would like a more moderate or liberal billionaire start up a tv network, so the press could be the press again.

Maybe I'm naive and it's already reving up????!!!!

news. Here, it's generally filled with propaganda and just absolutely endless Ads. The problem with the internet is, it's also filled with so much misinformation, propaganda and the like. Media has been destroyed in the US and much of it now IMO is tabloid propagandistic journalism.

Citizens are tribal and watch/listen to their source of information and right or wrong, it cements their opinions. The US is so ripe for manipulation as we see occurring now. Over the years the RW has gained more and more control of the media. If there is some LW orientation for news, at least via traditional TV, I've not seen it. I've been surprised at how MSNBC has changed, but then of course RW Comcast now owns NBC.

As you mentioned, I do think the kids have figured out traditional media is just BS propaganda funded by the billionaire class for profit, and to also manipulate viewpoints. My hope is with the youth as they see through this maze of BS media in the US today.

I learn more on DU now.

Comcast loves these Reichtwing hosts that follow their orders and stick to the script.
When someone comes along like Carville and disrupts that scripted report they are totally confused as was Roberts.

James Carville is correct..
When we have the Russian Government interfering with our Democracy that should be our number one priority.
