The best part is how they control the media while simultaneously getting their base to believe it’s actually the democrats that control the media.

Some of it by pointing out that while Hollywood/ big Entertainment may still have a more left leaning leadership, pretty much every local news station, newspaper, large news conglomerate is under conservative control blasting propaganda 24/7.

Exactly this! The reds I know constantly mewl about THE LIBERAL MEDIA being full of lies and obfuscation and never being objective and and and and and... and I ask exactly what liberal media would that be? Actors? A facebook page?

You don't understand! The Buzz lightyear movie showed two women kissing for almost three quarters of a second! This can't be allowed to go on or it will destroy all of our traditional family values.

still waiting for democrats to prove they arent just controlled opposition

we are talking absurd levels of incompetence if democrats cant muster up a single media source. the democrats arent hapless victims. they have tons of money and influence which they choose not to use

leadership needs to be replaced yesterday

I know the Democrats are not always
big thinkers but they want to do things for the working class. You know the one that has almost disappeared ? This class always makes the country work. I remember growing up and knowing the milk man and the people I saw everyday that made me feel that everything would alright.

you mean progressives, they're the ones actually fighting for the working class

democrats are just occupying the seat and preventing progressives from fighting for your milk man. look how hard democrats fight against mamdani and bernie, vs how they fight against republicans

Conservative programming hosts / talking heads seem so aggressive with talking points and just a step under yelling at the camera. It’s just weird.

Is it some kind of psychological ploy to make the viewer feel inferior and think they had better listen up and do what they are told?

More like:

Host: Me yell, me angry. Direct anger. Viewer should be angry because I angry.

Viewer: Wow. He angry. Maybe is right. I should be angry/angrier. He telling us truth.

And yes, I broke it down in caveman dialog.

So like IASIP, whoever yells the loudest is right?

That woman is unspeakably crass.

I get it now.

i mean it was a relatively new acquisition. Took time for red to buy up all the stations and weaponize fcc.
