Gee. Who gets to be the arbiter of what is truth and what isn’t?

Hmm. This is too hard...I just can’t figure it out...let me think...

The three television channels never delivered fact based news—they were all initially controlled by Operation Mockingbird as part of the war effort.

Obama must know this.

So, his statement are more than lies, they are raw evil.

Back when Alger Hiss went to trial, and the liberal media did all it could in a highly concerted way to discredit Whittaker Chambers in every way possible, and then in the media coverage of the McCarthy hearings, it was out in the open to see.

It should have been completely apparent what was going on to anyone paying attention when Walter Cronkite and the media said we got soundly beat in the Tet Offensive.

It only became more pronounced in Watergate, and ended up where it is today.

He and Hillary, along with all of the dictators and “one-worldx” oligarchs and the MSM ABSOLUTELY HATE Free Republic, Brietbart, Drudge and everyone presenting UNFILTERED TRUTH to American citizens and to the people of the world. Because they can’t C O N T R O L the news and information that people receive.

Did he really use the word "truthiness"?

What a poltroon!

But no, I don't think we're going to allow the gov. to control the internet. Sure there's a lot of BS out there but the real problem is that half of it comes from "official" sources.

Islam does not proscribe lying, in fact it rather encourages it.

In other words there should be no First Amendment, no freedom of speech, no freedom of the press...

All true, but most people believed the press back then, and some still do incredibly. However, in the 70’s is when I think more people started opening their eyes. I know it was for me as I was in my late teens & early 20’s. However, I probably became more aware of it because I was raised in a solidly Republican household, and most of the relatives I actually knew were also Republicans. What that means is these people would discuss the media bias so I was exposed to that frame of mind and was actually able to see the bias they were talking about.

I agree with all you said as well. You are absolutely right that more and more people began recognizing the bias in media beginning in the 70’s.

I think the Internet went a long way towards helping people realize the reality of an overtly biased media, that viewed their mission more as being a platform to advance a liberal view and agenda, and less dissemination of factual news.

They (the presstitutes) were just trusted more because they played a more reserved balanced game yet still tilted leftward. Today that mask is off completely and has been since the mid 70's at least.

The presstitutes have been in bed with the gubermint longer than the 70's.

Although the majority of Americans can no longer think without the presstitutes and the government telling them what to think, there is information that proves the US government completely controlled the press long before the DNC and HIllary emails proved it again.

If you have even a basic mathematical background, you should be able to understand the implications of the information in this video.

Solving the Biggest Mystery in History is easy

There is no way this information could be true without massive government forgery and a cooperative press.

....Since more and more people get their info via Facebook...

Facebook was busy pulling anti Hillary posts about the emails as they were being released yesterday....
About as soon as they went up, they went away.
