yet the left are the ones using the government to crush freedom of the press by sicing the FBI on an honest journalist.
all the conservatives want is for the MSM to quit lying.
And I think the people in the Republican Party understand that they cannot win without defeating the media. And that’s what Steve Bannon’s remark is about. It’s a very important remark, where he says to Michael Lewis — the first part is really important — the Democrats don’t matter. The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.

"FAKE NEWS" =/= "JOURNALISM"

He's right. If you control the media and the message, you control the ppl. First teach them that the mainstream sources of information are biased and false. Then provide them with what you want them to "know" ala Fox, Breitbart, Newsmax, etc. Then they're yours.
That's exactly how the pandemic response in America turned into the lethal clusterfuck that it did.
Who is that?
FBI raid on Project Veritas as if you did not know
FOX is the "MSM."
yes, barely. and it applies to them as well.
When you rely on untruth real journalism is your worst enemy
Yep, and that is why it must be killed.
I really like AP's motto:
“There are only two forces that can carry light to all the corners of the globe … the sun in the heavens and The Associated Press down here.” -- Mark Twain
Wait, now no one watches FOX? Don't right wingers love bragging how popular they are?
barely mainstream. no idea about bragging.
Serious question: What is the mainstream to you?
broadcast TV (and their cable/online affiliates), reginal or larger print media (and their online affiliates), whoever takes their reporting from the AP SKY etc.
