I cannot fathom how the MSM is so allied as to bring our freedoms and culture to an end.

It is unbelievable to me as if some evil empire is behind the networks, etc.

The only answer I have is that leftists are totalitarian, and so are controlling by nature. So they gravitate towards professions where they can control & manipulate knowlege and opinion - teachers, journalists, lawyers, politicians.

And increasingly, clergy.

There has to be a way to take down the MSM.

The networks are blinded by their ideology. Assuming they try to be balanced, they see the world through a very narrow, liberal lens. In other words, it’s impossible for them to report the news objectively even if they try. I believe Bernard Goldberg wrote a book about this.

He was an insider, so he saw first hand how the news was unintentionally slanted. I’m not saying there isn’t also a great deal of intentional propaganda out there, but I’ll trust that some of the journalists try to be balanced. The problem is, they see us as backward, racist, bitter clingers. For them, it’s like trying to be balanced between reporting on Hitler versus the allies (we’re the Hitlers from their perspective btw).

I really don’t know what can be done about it all other than to continue battling them on every front. The left holds a distinctive advantage in the media, education, organized labor, and government, but WE hold the advantage of being right and true.
