I believe this was done by design, over the course of years.



    It goes deeper. Facebook, Google/YouTube, and Twitter all censor what people can see on their platforms.
    Tell us there "copy and paste," who exactly are the "Jeff Ronset Corp" and "Notes for Space Cadets," as far as anyone knows, they could be Russian propaganda sites, you got anything to show us they aren't?

    Disney (largely owned by Communist Chinese investors) forced youngest son James (he's something of a lefty) out at 20th Century Fox, and the Murdoch brothers are engaged in internecine warfare.

    The network is now turning into another shill platform for the left. They even hired Donna Brazile.

    People think if the media reports news negative toward their candidate (Mueller investigation) it means the media is lying. I heard a guy recently claim the media was "lying to us" because it carried polls showing Biden in the lead.

    This.

    Covering it isn’t ‘mentioning it’: It’s the amount of broadcast minutes dedicated to the story.
    There was a lot of coverage of this event in the media (TV doesn't count as news).

    The interview (from 1984) is on a number of YouTube channels, Anchovies. I picked the first one that came up in my search. Instead of fixating on whose channel it's on, try educating yourself about who Yuri Bezmenov was and the significance of his information. Naturally, I'll understand if you won't.

    The polls are often slanted (questions asked, sample selection, oversampling, etc.).

    Your attitude toward spelling and grammar indicates that you are predisposed to take a lackadaisical approach to information as well, IMO.

    No doubt there's a lot of fatigue involved in it too due to a two year election season. 24 months of the hype and bullshit becomes especially tiring. We'll no sooner be over this election when the Midterms will come into season.

    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Mueller blew up in the Dems & Deep State faces. He couldn't find a single instance of Russian collusion/conspiracy.
    Yet the press treated like it was a well known fact

    Another type of fake news is leaking anonymous sources with an agenda and then claiming a scoop
    They got played so bad, and still to this day try to keep that alive

    And are the any of the rest of them any more credible than the one you picked? Haven't you ever heard the common sense axiom, don't believe three quarters of what you see on the Internet?

    Agreed, but those who can be most influenced by news stories are less likely to be knowledgeable and interested and less likely to watch or read it and therefore not likely to be influenced.

    Anybody who believed Hillary had a child sex ring in a ping-pong/pizza parlor already hated her believing that news.

    NOVA (PBS) recently showed how Russia identified those to send anti-Hillary posts. They created a game with Hillary running around trying to catch all her emails. Those who played that game (I think on Facebook) then received anti-Hillary stories.
