The modern media apparatus and establishment collude to suppress common sense, using scripted propaganda campaigns to override public instinct on controversial issues.

“The entire media apparatus and establishment is joining hands to condemn people for having common sense.”

Political media has shifted away from legitimate journalism toward partisan activism, where individuals masquerade as journalists to advance specific agendas.

“There's no more journalism. There's no more politics. It's just every single [ __ ] person now on the MAGA side and every single person on the tanky side is a political activist masquerading sometimes as a journalist.”

Legacy media outlets have historically colluded with the Biden administration and big tech to censor dissenting voices on issues like COVID-19 and election fraud.

“but they colluded with the Biden White house with big Tech to censor Americans who dare to speak out about covid about vaccines about election fraud about every single issue so spare me the performative activism that these people care about Free Speech or freedom of the press”

“The reason that you have lost trust ought to be obvious to you and the way to fix it also ought to be obvious to you and it has nothing to do with Donald Trump and everything to do with the product. Just try to make a better product that appeals to more people.”

“it's very easy to be pro-war. It's very hard to be against these wars and the natural instinct is to be patriotic and there's limitations in coverage that come from logistics and the nature of the Pentagon and how these things work.”

Media outlets focus on confrontational debates because they generate higher viewership and engagement than balanced, non-adversarial coverage.

“I think CNN has also determined through its producers that they will garner a larger audience if it's a real debate.”

Corporate ownership and the pursuit of ratings often pressure news organizations to avoid challenging politicians and questioning their behavior.

“I think one of the reasons I think sometimes like I don't think there's a huge amount of political coverage on morning shows. You know, we used to do political coverage all the time.
