    You literally started a thread about not trusting the media and now you want us to watch the media? Make up your mind Brotato.

    Why did you post a mainstream media video?

    Bull crap, we focus on how bad the media and politicians are.......the other contingent focuses on how bad the police are. Interesting.

    Politicians are just as shitty and untrustworthy as the police and the media. So why is it the right only demonizes the media? Scared to call out the others?

    I can easily admit that the media, politicians (both Democrats and MAGA Republicans) and police are all untrustworthy. That's because I don't kiss the media, politicians or the police's ass. Now I DARE you to admit all 3 entities are untrustworthy, without going into your patented deflect and derail specialty.

    No one, including Fox, is getting that many viewers. They would rather get their news from Facebook or Twitter. My problem with the media is they just don’t report the news anymore, they just want to start a food fight between the right and left. Once they do that then they sit around and interview each other and talk about the stupid comments that were made.

    Still can't fix your fingers to type and admit that police, politicians and the media are all equally untrustworthy. As expected LOL

    Well deserved too.

    maybe if all media was not so damn biased, there would be more trust.

    So the next time you have an emergency will you be calling a school teacher, a carpenter or a barber since you obviously can't trust the police?

    Watching the video here is an MSNBC correspondent being self aware and wondering if what she does makes a difference, and meanwhile this Fox News twit criticizes for allegedly at one time being spoonfed democrat propoganda word for word from a campaign. This coming from a network that routinely coordinates its messaging and disinformation with all the shows and also directly coordinates with Republican politicians and with Trump back in the day. When Mueller report literally said “this report is not an exoneration” the day after all the Fox News shows repeated the same thing “Complete and total exoneration”.

    Most mainstream media is biased to the left, to a degree, and in reporting and refuting much of the lies of the right, they end up siding with the left and essentially lose their independence. The right wing media doesn’t even try. They lie and distribute propaganda and don’t think anything about it.
