-—Just the facts without the news reader adding opinion.——

Doesn’t sell

Fox News is the nearest to that but there are those here, many in fact, that tune it out because it doesn’t meet their precise views.

All that needs to be said has been said. The talking is over. The people have spoken loud and clearly. Now comes the doing. Imposing your will upon the other.

Lets talk about Air Force one for a second, OK. Lets downsize the plane and not take the press corps, let them pay and fly business class. Trump owes them nothing.

Besides the 747 is an outdated design.

The problem with media, (any media), is that it's ONLY as credible as it has to be.

Since the NEA has had an ongoing agenda of dummying down everyone in America, that means, among many things, generations of voters have had the natural human inclination to doubt and challenge whatever is thrown at the masses, systematically bred out of them. Wholesome debate is discouraged and actually stigmatized.

They're conditioned instead, to accept wholesale many foolish ‘facts’, fake reports, and patently mendacious drivel ... just BECAUSE it was presented in the media.

I say ‘conditioned’ because it's the same thing that happens to sheep which are corralled and controlled by properly trained dogs.

Fox news is a good example of being closer to something objective. If you take all the liberal mainstream news channels and the top ten newspapers, you might find one or two conservative voices across all of those COMBINED. While Fox news has liberals like Colmes, Shep, Megan to balance out the other right leaning hosts. So it is truly more balanced than the other channels.

And trust me, I’m guilty of retreating to RSBN and all of my favorite conservative sources, I just see a bigger problem with the divisions that only seem to be growing.

I agree with this too, the media successfully indoctrinated about 1/2 of the population this election, despite what O’Keefe says. We just had a few more folks in the right states to prevent the takeover, we dodged a bullet!

Some of the mainstream news media is dying for sure but half the population are indoctrinated and get news from non news sources. 95% of the drama and comedy shows on network and cable are literally liberal indoctrination. The morning talk shows, like the View, are practically commie reeducation camp shows.

Having more right leaning news sources on the internet and barely a single one on TV is not going to help much. We need to break through with other programming too.

What was intersting to me was Okeek’s statement that his funding is crowd sourced and is a 501C3

All media that counts is designed around profit based corporations that depend on advertising

O’Keefe claims that the ad $$ are drying up for the normal media and shifting to the social media. We talk about that a lot and yet they hang on. Some have successfully transitioned to the internet. Forbes is a good example. Much of their audience is online rather than in print. Forbes is a niche outlet with a very specialized readership.

Roger Ailes was a genius behind Fox News and produced a new product that upset the apple cart. What he did is however threatened by the change as well. Fox depends on ads watched by viewers

747 out-dated design

A simple chinese bureaucrat put the shame into AF1 (747) when they would not provide stairs. Obama brought disgrace upon AF-1 with those trips to Cuba, China and all those vacations. He wore the planes out.

I would not be surprised if POTUS 45 makes a suggestion for a different mode of travel. Maybe Trump Force 1 can be renovated and upgraded.

For me, the White House living quarters, the oval office need to also be renovated (fumigated)

Yes, yes! Correct, the mainstream media is not dead. We have to fight harder and take more ground!

If they were dead, we wouldn’t have Lady Gaga doing the halftime show in the superbowl, and players taking a knee in the NFL. We still have NO influence over half the population. And the influence the mainstream media has itps stunning, they literally brainwash the public. It is pure propaganda now every time you turn on the TV. The power they have is amazing and it works.

He already has our support, he needs to go on MSM shows to bring some of them to our side and show them he is not Hitler, as he has been painted. He’s cutting through the propaganda by going on these shows.

Bush went on these shows and they continued to say he lied about WMD, was and idiot, and he was a very genial guy.
They ran Bush’s approval down to near 30%.

MSM will never stop, they must be vanquished, and supplanted by the new media. VP Cheney got it right yesterday when he said Trump has the new tech and doesn’t need you guys any more to get his message out. Now if he is just there with Matt to gloat I am all for him shoving it into their faces.

I don’t believe any of those women were assaulted by Trump. We just found out Hillary paid that Hispanic contestant, and planned it for months. The media is rotten.

Perhaps Matt offered to polish Donald's shoes ?
