It's useful to know about leftist propaganda. However, it is ubiquitous and easy to spot.

The biggest mistake propagandists make is being 100% one direction or the other, which for most things is statistically impossible. They claim the slightest climate change is 100% bad and 100% the fault of man, which couldn't be true. They would be far more credible, and far harder to detect, if they went for an 80%/20% mix. But they are unwilling to risk that 20%.

The leftist news media used to try for an 80/20 ratio to maintain some fig leaf of credibility, but Trump triggered them to throw all that out the window.

4 May: The Federalist: A Rundown Of Major U.S. Corporate Media’s Business Ties To China
by Chrissy Clark
MSNBC & NBC
Both MSNBC and NBC News are operated by NBC Universal, a company with extensive financial ties to the CCP. In November 2010, NBC signed an agreement with China’s state-run media organization, Xinhua, to establish a business cooperation in international broadcast news. This was the latest market expansion by the CCP into American media.
Since the signing of the business deal, the U.S. State Department identified Xinhua and five other Chinese state-run media organizations as “foreign missions.” They have been identified as direct CCP operations and do not function as independent news outlets.

Exactly!

Before this all started, the rest of the world was in awe of the American economy and told President Trump they were amazed at how quickly he turned things around.

After the Chinese virus knocked the world on it’s collective a$$, these same countries asked President Trump for ventilators and other supplies, because they didn’t have them and in many cases, could not make them.

The rest of the world laughed even harder at Reagan. Who was this washed-up B movie actor who ended up in the White House? His election was obviously as sign that America was on its last legs. By the end of his second term, the Soviet Union had withdrawn from Afghanistan, and not just the Warsaw Pact, but the Tsarist empire itself, was on on life support.

Applebaum is long past her expiration date. Another neocon jackass, all in on the Trump hate because she is a bigtime Ukraine State department project shill.

Remember Anne, he who laughs last laughs best. Just in case you don't understand the saying Anne, let me translate it for you:

The person who has the final, decisive move or victory in a feud, quarrel, or competition is the only one who is truly successful.

China is the paper tiger, we are the sleeping giant. Keep poking and you will regret it China.

When I was much younger (in Australia) the media all around the world used to portray Reagan as an old fool teetering on senility. I bought that bs at the time until I came across his speeches online. That was my final straw with the lying media. Thank God I got out from under their evil influence. Today’s Trump haters are I’ll informed mainly because they choose to be. They laugh at the President to ingratiate themselves with others without ever checking for the truth. Let’s hope Trump and those who vote for him in November have the last t laugh and keep laughing as he gets to change the courts for decades. Let’s all chuckle as he brings back the country better than before. Does anyone think Joe or any of the Democ rat’srats are up to that challenge?

Nuke the chicoms to hell. Their antiquated nuclear stockpile doesn’t stand a chance against modern American weaponry. How about them apples?
