Corrupt Democrats Are Not 'News'
https://townhall.com/columnists/brentbozellandtimgraham/2018/08/29/corrupt-democrats-are-not-news-n2513875

When seeking to demonstrate the degree to which the "objective" news media act like Democratic partisans, the best place to start is scandals, as in "Have you heard all about the latest Republican scandal?" versus "What Democrat scandal?" On Aug. 8, Republican congressman Chris Collins of the Buffalo, New York, suburbs was indicted for insider trading and lying to the FBI. ABC, CBS and NBC played this story to the hilt, with 18 minutes and 24 seconds of coverage in just the first 24 hours, according to the Media Research Center. CBS devoted the most coverage, pounding away for 7 minutes and 6 seconds. ABC came in second, offering 5 minutes and 41 seconds....

Think of this, and then feel free to laugh at NBC's Chuck Todd, who said on Sunday's "Meet the Press" that charges of a liberal bias in the media are an old Roger Ailes tactic "not based in much fact." Although as each day goes by, we see the bias and corrupt of the Progressive Marxist Socialist Left Democrats and the media. Yep, 65 million of us - - all tricked by Roger Ailes..
The media has really become the Ministry of Propaganda and the Executive Branch has about as much control over it as the DOJ and FBI. It doesn't matter what party is in office, the Ministry works exclusively for the left and they barely try to conceal it. It's truly amazing how blind many people are. People see what they want to see and the truth so rarely "feels good" enough for them.
In recent years, I've become convinced that our media is not only part of the problem, they ARE the problem. This is how our "Free Press" has chosen to use its constitutionally protected status. There's no doubt that the MSM overall has become the 'Fifth Column' of the Progressive Marxist Socialist Left.

Ah Brent and Townhall, the conservative outrage industrial complex at its finest, jeez do you righties cry all night in bed, it must be a wet mess by morning. LOL MSM is now Marxist, what will it be next?


"All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach." Adolf Hitler

"Moreover, if we give the matter a moment's thought, we can see that the 20th century morality tale of 'socialism vs. freedom' or 'communism vs. capitalism' is misleading. Capitalism is not a political system; it is a form of economic life, compatible in practice with right wing dictatorships (Chile under Pinochet), left-wing dictatorships (contemporary China), social-democratic monarchies (Sweden), and plutocratic republics (the United States), whether capitalist economies thrive best under conditions of freedom is perhaps more of an open question than we like to think." Tony Judt 'Ill fares the Land' http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7821831-ill-fares-the-land

"Libertarian solutions favored by the political right have contributed even more directly to the erosion of social responsibilities and valued forms of communal life, particularly in the UK and the US. Far from producing beneficial communal consequences, the invisible hand of unregulated free-market capitalism undermines the family (e.g., few corporations provide enough leave to parents of newborn children), disrupts local communities (e.g., following plant closings or the shifting of corporate headquarters), and corrupts the political process (e.g., US politicians are often dependent on economic interest groups for their political survival, with the consequence that they no longer represent the community at large). Moreover, the valorization of greed in the Thatcher/Reagan era justified the extension of instrumental considerations governing relationships in the marketplace into spheres previously informed by a sense of uncalculated reciprocity and civil obligation. This trend has been reinforced by increasing globalization, which pressures states into conforming to the dictates of the international marketplace."

So you think the Executive Branch should have "control" over the media?

I have never heard of an honest Democrat. Carter was honest and Democrats hated him. They're all cool entrepreneurs of the heist, measuring success by how much they rip off a public rapt in their feel-good rhetoric.

An honest Democrat would indeed be news, even if he was being drummed out of office. LOL

Of course corrupt Democrats are not news. Its their norm to be all about the Slim Shady. Not to mention to play Robin da Hood.

The usual nonsense. Even the most loyal liberal must be embarrassed for you.

Well it just came out today NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo has quietly ordered the suspension of an investigation into Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance‘s handling of a 2015 grope case against Harvey Weinstein after receiving 25,000 from him.

Thats not quite accurate. I didn't see anything which advocated the executive branch controlling the media.

I think I misapplied the attribution to the article when it should have been to his posting of his thoughts, such as below. Hopefully the Executive has no control over the media. The statement below seems to want that to be the case, hence my original question.

I think you misunderstood the comment. It's a fact that the executive branch has little to no control over the media unless the media is an advocate for a particular executive branch. We have seen in the past recently where the media took directions from the executive branch on what to report and how to report it. That fact that they often use the same exact words and phrases when reporting stories should make that fairly obvious.

They also do often perform as a "ministry of propoganda".
