Liberal is not an empty headed pejorative.
Of course it is not if it is accurately applied. However it is often just used as a false accusation.

The major news outlets support Marxist politicians and hate and despite all conservative people in general.
I have heard this premise before.

Which politicians are Marxist? In general, how are they Marxist?

Does this "hate" of "all conservative people in general" come only from the leadership of these media outlets, or does it extend all the way down to the rank and file journalists?

They ignore facts and stories quite often that make their favorite candidate look bad while slamming conservative one's endlessly.
Are you referring generally to journalists or media pundits like on CNBC?

I agree that there are media pundits who do exactly what you say. I also know there is a whole culture of "conservative" media that endlessly attacks anyone who is not wholly in the "conservative" camp. Much of Fox News and talk radio does this.

I find both morally and intellectually repulse. What about you?

Trump as had 90 % bad press
Some of us think he gets fair coverage.

For instance they supported with as much positive news reports the marxist take over of our health care system otherwise known as obamacare.
Again, I need you to explain what you mean by "Marxist." How is Obamacare Marxist?

The ultimate goal of obamacare was not that it be the final product but that it lead to state run health care.
I agree with that. Obamacare was so much of a compromise it cannot be viable. Moreover, it had no chance of operating even modestly well since the Republicans crippled much of it. Our current President was a supporter of universal healthcare and promised it in his campaign and in his first months in office. That was one of the few things I agreed with him about, although it was clear he was simply lying to get votes and had no clue about what it would take. As expected, he did not live up to those promises. So are you making the claim that placing healthcare into the hands of the state is Marxist? If so, was candidate Donald Trump promoting Marxism and those who voted for him approving of Marxism?

They report favorably on those who would work in a revolutionary manner to squelch free speech at colleges and paint the conservative speakers as bad guys only working to incite violence.
Not necessarily. I hear people on Fox News claim that, but by and large the reporters I have seen try to provide multiple angles on the issues of free speech vs. offensive speech. Are you making the claim that REPORTING on attempts to stifle free, but perhaps unpopular speech on college campuses demonstrates Marxism?

I could go on and on but then you already know all of this. You may not like the facts or the monikers but they do not exist for your liking.
I know you can go on and on, but I have noticed that you haven't defined Marxism nor specifically shown what aspects of mainstream journalism demonstrate Marxist ideals. Perhaps you are a moral, philosophical, and political nihilist and believe that words only have meaning in terms of promoting or restricting the power of others for your own interests. If so, that's worse than real Marxism.

By asking you to clarify why you are using a specific term? You're the one throwing out the term. What do you mean by "Marxist?"


I have never used the word "sheeple" nor claimed superior knowledge. I am asking a SERIOUS question. Here's your time to shine. Tell me why you are using the term. How does the mainstream media embody "Marxist" philosophy. You made the claim. It should be a simple answer.


The only place you could find an insult is if you know deep in your heart that you have no idea why you are calling the mainstream media "Marxist." If you feel insulted, know that you have insulted a large group of people in journalism (and I know a fair number of newspeople) who work hard to present the new honestly and accurately. You should be ashamed for baselessly attacking people.


So by that statement, are you confessing you are simply throwing out a pejorative?
More innuendo insults - deep in my heart I have no idea what I am talking about, etc...

But I'm not ashamed.

The marxist media - supports the Party of Death - abortion, euthanasia, eugenics and social engineering of the sheeple.

I have no clue what is deep in your heart. I know you are a decent man, you have demonstrated that many times over the years.

The marxist media...
I'm asking an honest and basic question. How is the mainstream media "marxist?" What does that word mean to you?

I was going to respond to the entire post until I saw this. You have seriously lost your way.
History will tell the story.

This post will be our last interaction on this board. Sad.
Sorry I called your bluff. You like to throw out pejoratives, claim they are accurate, and then run away when someone simply asks for evidence. That is truly sad for someone who is a pastor.

OK "Always" doesn't mean 24/7.

Mostly when fake news is circulating or serious leaks are gushing - which is steadily increasing.
Hank... there are no Howard K Smiths or Harry Reasoners anymore. Now you got jag offs like Joe Scarborough and Sean Hannity. If I wanted to be entertained by bizzare people, I’d watch Saturday Restling or Sunday Morning Televangelists.

I was trained in intel/info so I know exactly what to look for by way of strategy and tactics - false and distorted news, false and unproven accusations, attempts of character assassination are the hallmark of the comrades.

The Ministry of Truth (CNN) the propaganda voice to the sheeple.

Nothing less than Alinskyite tactics.
