People are tired of media telling them what to think....

Perez: What's the future for Democrats? (http://www.msn.com/en-us/video/news/perez-whats-the-future-for-democrats/vi-AAmPG8a?ocid=spartandhp)

I see this trend continuing, because the media onslaught is even worse now.

[rubicon]

The majority in this nation are fair minded people and they will not sit still while progressives wage their campaign of hate. The Democratic party is suffering because they leadership has ignored that this nation's people want a course correction. so these leaders can ignore that reality and have it work against them or embrace it and have it work so that they can reshape their party's platform

That's right. We want Trump to tell us what to think because we Trump supporters have difficulty with that "thinking for ourselves" thing.

If you allow the media to do your thinking for you, YOU are the one with a serious problem.

WHAT ADULT would fall for that kind of thinking.

The video you reference was about the INTERNAL WORKINGS of the Democratic party.

Is your objection that this story was covered ?

Was there something you heard that was offensive ?

I have heard Preibus expound on the future and workings of the Republican party as well....did you find that offensive ?

I left the Republican party and became an independent soley because BOTH parties have gone so extreme, they both represent constant and ever politicking. They have no choice...this country has been so polarized.

The President promised during the campaign to work hard and work hard to bring everyone together. I am hoping his total lack of effort is because he is just getting settled in or something, because yesterday in a meeting with both parties.....he brought out the old 'Pochantas" chant, accused americans of busing to Mass to stuff the ballot boxes illegally (I might add that everyone knows where he got that....a debunked, snoped false news account from the primary)

He is the President, not a candidate...he won....at least make an effort.

The media is NOT the enemy of anyone. If you ALLOW them to make up your mind, it is all YOUR fault. Read both sides....insure you are conversant with both sides....heck, you would do that in a neighborhood dispute I am sure...how about when it affects our country. In todays age, insure you stick with the so called main stream media...so many sites on the internet not to be trusted. Read papers, the NEWS section....watch TV NEWS....stay away from opinion shows and opinion pieces until you understand the subject.


I sincerely pray that folks do not allow the media to make up your mind on anything or tell you how to do anything. That is NOT THEIR JOB NOR THEIR INTENT. They inform, you decide.

Problem is that now their is such a flop over from news to opinion that it is difficult to understand the difference....subscribe to twitter....follow both left and right columnists....both left and right politicians.....MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND....DO NOT BE WEAK.

This is a subject on which I have made myself become very well versed. If you watch exclusively FOX and read only Breibart type sites....OR....if you watch exclusively CNN and read only Media Matters.....EITHER WAY YOU DO AN INJUSTICE TO YOURSELF.

If you only hear one side of any story, what good is your opinion ?

See, this poster, I am sure reads both sides...he has no axe to grind....he has looked at both sides before condemning all those with a registration card with a D on it.

REALITY is neither party right now....not close.

Oh and I, unlike you, do not crown the Republican party as the saints, or do I anoint all Democrats.

You represent the extreme right wing....there are those who represent the extreme left wing. Sadly for our country those are the loudest now......neither preaches reason...they both preach they are the ONLY righteous people on earth.

WE NEED TO GROW UP AND GET PAST THIS ATTITUDE OF IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ME YOU ARE WRONG AND BAD.


No issue facing this country is so black and white that ONLY one side or the other has ALL the answers. YOU would never allow your children to think that way....why do you ?

With todays media and speed, more than ever to EVEN CONSIDER not fact checking or reading both sides, you become a merciful lamb being led to slaughter, either by the right or left depending on which media source you have sold your soul.

When the media and government are both controlled by the same lobbyists there is no sword arm, just one globalization force.

Subtract those on public assistance and the liberals have 10% of the population.

What does that tell you?

This makes no sense.

Are you speaking of Fox when discussing the media and government both controlled ?

[Taltarzac725]

Trump rarely has any coherent thoughts about much of anything. So how can people follow him? And the media is not controlled by much of anyone except for the shareholders and CEOs of company's like Disney. And even they have little say on what gets on the news. Their lawyers do but mainly for fear of lawsuits from other attorneys for libel or some other tort or breach of contract or something else like that.

I can't believe Rocky believes in the "media is the sword" crap affald (are you new or someone we know in disguise?). The media AND the government are BOTH owned by rich and powerful men...media and government work together to spread propaganda and agendas.

Watching/reading/listening to ANY mainstream "news" makes you LESS informed than no "news" at all. It's ALL propaganda and agendas. You really think the rest are honestly reporting? There is NO bias? Really?
