Anyone feel the media is fanning the racism flame?

the media is there solely to increase advertising revenue and racism is a hot-button item for them. there is so little systematic racism in America that they must twist every event into a racist one with the intention of garnering more "clicks", "likes", "follows", and "shares" that they can take as data to new and existing sponsors to drive more revenue. Most, ahemm, journalists have a component to their bonus payments attached to social media so the more outlandish or controversial the story, likely the more social media activity they can stir.

this is all money-motivated and drives a deeper wedge between the races that had been closing slowly for the past 100 years. they don't know and don't care about the long-term ramifications of their systematic race baiting

CNN's ratings were lower than the Food Network last week.

There 24/7 bash Trump has driven viewers away to the point where their Fake News is no
longer watchable.

I luv the Food Channel

haha, the truth is it's hard to watch TV nowadays without finding political bullshit, even ESPN has joined the act

So if I'm not watching live sporting events, I'm watching movies or something on demand. Occasionally something like the History Channel.

Never watch the news except for stuff like local weather and election "results", with an emphasis on results and not commentary.

I'm so repulsed by media bias I can't even watch bias reporting from somebody I agree with in the political arena. I'd rather have more honest debates.

In college, back in the days I was actually a democrat (my first presidential vote was cast for Jimmy Carter), I wrote a paper on how the media creates the news. It was a-political, and it was borrowed a few times over the years by other people :), but it was all about how the media controls the stuff we think about. They literally control the nation's consciousness. For example, there can be 10,000 murders in the USA in any given year, but we only talk about the very few murders the media chooses to focus on. That example is the low hanging fruit, but the same rules apply across matters in our lives. They control the message, they control the narrative, they tell us what to think about, and their headlines are all many people know about any given topic. So their spin is critically important to the nation's perspective.

It's people. Looking and waiting for anything to offend them. Instead of living life and enjoying it they are looking for something to be pissed at. Trump is like my father. Some of it is tough but for the better.

Resist, Resist, Resist?
Not My President?
Become Ungovernable?
BLM?
Ferguson Riots?
Baltimore Riots?
the Hate Filled Women's March?
Burning American Flags?
Threatening speakers with different points of view?
Rioting and destroying your neighbors property?
Maxine Waters?
Hollywood?
Late night comedians?
An investigation into Russian Collusion that never happened?
Deplorables?
White Supremacists?

I could go on for ever. One side hates, one side espouses hate, one side condones hate, one side is hating every minute of every day, one side threatens physical violence, once side throws people with opposing views out of restaurants, one side riots and it all started before Trump was elected

They get away with it because they control the message too, enabled by a criminal corrupt colluding media that's done more harm to this country than Russia could ever dream about

The other side wants to secure the borders and enforce the laws of the land, shame on them. And that's why all the vicious attacks against them are justified to lefties face)(*^%

The liberal media is molding peoples minds & into a future civil war........most of the liberal politicians have completely lost their minds......they're unhinged & are trying to create chaos amongst citizens.

ive pretty much turned off the majority of "news" at this point and only follow the market. all news is meant to make you angry at this point. used to watch foxnews but even they have lost their direction.
