New media including X, Meta, Amazon, TikTok. etc. will now make certain the liberal media will no longer control the message.
The liberal media is officially dead
- Thread starter Sullivan
- Start date
Conservatives have controlled media for a long time, this is nothing new.
I think it’s cute that MAGAs think the left hasn’t been dead. If they aren’t done, they’ll be in jail or out of business.
What do you expect Jake Tapper to say? “We’ve been lying to the viewers for years”.
This is an absurd statement. Over the last 20 years conservatives have had what, Fox News as the only national channel to watch that lean their way? Every other national source leans left.
The MSM doesn't lean left at all, probably most of what's considered to be the MSM leans right. I mean, they've completely normalized Trump. Which would have never happened if we had a "liberal" or even neutral corporate mass media.
When MAGA Republicans complain about "liberal" media, they're complaining about media that they don't already control or that hasn't yet overtly bent the knee to them. NY Times is probably the notable example of that right now although they're the worst when it comes to both-sidesing. CNN appears to be trying to suck up to Trump/MAGA. Bezos and Zuckerberg attending the inauguration as guests of honor and prominence alongside Musk is another blow not to "liberal" media but to independent media in this country.
I am hoping President Trump/Congress defunds NPR and PBS. Their leftist bile has gone on too long.
15%, but even if it were a penny the American public should not subsidize their left-wing bias.
The MAGAs believe whatever they’re told. They think all media is leftist because that’s what Fox, Tucker, Trump, President Musk and others tell them. Remember, the media is evil and the enemy of the people.
Except for all the the right wing media they rely on and brag about how much more popular it is but it isn't mainstream media
Things are definitely changing. The left had cnn, abc, CBS, msnbc, NBC, ny times, wash post, etc. They even had Joe rogan, tulsi gabbard, musk, rfk, and half of the independent media. The left shit the bed with their crazy policies and now we have Maga taking over. It's a glorious day
Dems just made up a new story whenever the real story didn't fit their agenda. It's fun to see you still try to spin the truth.
MAGA dude affirming everything I've ever thought about these people and their brain wattage. Pretty sure this guy isn't a lib alt trying to make the cons look bad. Real thing here.
LOL's. I think 5 years ago you actually agreed with me on this, now you're Elon Bot.
I once earned my paycheck from the New York Times. Sad to see what it’s become.
There is no way you are serious. And if you are, this is next-level delusion. Which one of CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NY Times, LA Times, or Washington Post would you say lean conservative? Please quote and respond.
I believe the big issue with your thinking here is that you believe this is a conservative vs liberal thing. Those options above are either corporations or oligarch owned media. So what I am driving at is the divide is actually a class divide.
If you turned into real liberal media and compared it to corporate media you would notice how stark the difference is. Much of the difference lies within manufactured consent, it is what the corporate media will not say. There are some really good examples above in which they play down Elon's Nazi Salute as a unique gesture.
Another technique in manufactured consent is just not even mentioning stuff or giving it very little time on air. A technique that even MSNBC (who are super liberal in some people's minds) on the subject of Net Neutrality because their corporate interests actually align with the deregulation. Another example would be how little air time Bernie Sanders received in 2016 and 2020 compared to the establishment Democrats or Republicans. He would shake the corporate apple cart too much so they limited his exposure.
Here are some things corporate media really doesn't give much time to: legalizing cannabis, Medicare for all, increasing corporate taxes, media regulations, congressional conflicts of interest, dark money PAC contributions, media consolidation, etc etc.
Lol read the article. Lets just show the headline and trigger all the libtards. Take a breath.
The Anti-Defamation League, which has tangled with Mr. Musk in the past, later said on X that Mr. Musk had “made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm” and that it was “not a Nazi salute.”
My point is none of the TV networks or publications I mentioned have endorsed a republican candidate in 20+ years, and they make up the vast majority of viewing and reading options for consumers.
