If you’re serious about “media power”, ignite the discussion concerning telecom’s control of the news.

Thanks for the continued posting of Greenfield.
I loved the optics of the televised portions - made the Dems look even worse than many had been thinking of them.....long-winded opening “statements” to spew out lies that would not result in perjury charges, followed by a lot of “No, he never did that” or “I never saw or heard him say or do what I’m saying he said or did” statements helped ice the hopes of them - the squeals are gonna be loud and agonizing.....music to my ears....

“The media is the strongest asset of the Left. And it’s also its greatest weakness. Not just because the media’s business model is imploding, its credibility is tanking, and it’s transitioning to a charity. The Left believes that narrative is superior to reality.”

Right out of 1984

And
“Democrats rule through media power and Republicans envy that power. But the power to lie to people is also a curse that entraps the liar. Believing lies makes you dumb. And dumb people do dumb things.

Like impeachment.”

I really love the way he writes!

He’s always able to get to the bottom line of any subject he tackles.

“Twitter is one of Trump’s greatest weapons. And BOY does twitter hate that.”

LOL, and it looks like their greed wins out. They hate what he posts, but he is bringing them a lot of business.

...”what is the alternative if the media deliver nothing but defeats?”

But the media still supports their lies and propaganda. Without the media they would have nothing. So they are forced to be in bed with them.

Liars lose touch with reality. The cost of the con is no longer knowing what’s true.

Very true.
