[Hoot Gibson]

Hoot, I’m starting to wonder if many of these “liberals” are one and the same. You notice how they each parrot the same rhetoric and yet none of them can ever form a coherent, reasonable response to the material that has been posted?

Unfortunately, WR, I have seen some of the same opinions expressed by members of my own family. People who get their news from what they believe are reputable sources, such as ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, Washington Post, etc., do not realize the degree to which those news sources collaborate to present a unified view of the country and world. Buying influence through purchasing ownership interest in corporations that have news media subsidiaries evidently is an affordable, effective way for progressive billionaires like Jeff Bezos and George Soros to mold public opinion.

I have always mistrusted the big tech companies and media outlets but I realized during the 2020 campaign how many major current events are ignored or injected with political bias by the traditional news media. You get an entirely different perspective when you watch videos recorded by ordinary American citizens showing Black Live Matters and Antifa rioting, looting, and attacking innocent non-black citizens, as they curse and hurl bodily fluids at police officers.

Those who dismiss videos recorded by fellow citizens while accepting CNN's news as "reputable" are doing themselves a real disservice. The mostly peaceful protests covered by CNN were often not mostly peaceful. CNN reminded me of Baghdad Bob as they described protests as mostly peaceful as fires started by Democrat arsonists raged in the background. There is nothing reputable about CNN or any of the formerly reliable news sources that I grew up watching and reading.
