I am willing to bet my life, that 99% of them are metropolitan, elitist, leftist, democrats. This message is aimed right at conservatives, we are the ones being persecuted, by the left, who own everything. Like someone said, being Republican in Hollywood is the new punk. I say, conservatism is the new counter culture. Well, PJW actually coined that phrase.

Wake up... That was both sides feeding the same message. You still think it is about republicans and democrats. It is about haves and have nots. They have you exactly where they want you!

All the news outlets are owned by Sinclair media, they share scripts.
Nowhere near all of them, they own like 190 local stations or something currently. But yes this was a forced script by Sinclair Broadcasting for all of their stations. Now, if they end up getting approval of buying Tribune they will own a whole heap of the news (though still mostly local stations).

Sinclair is right slanted. They have been even more so since their attempt to acquire Tribune and needing the FCC approval. Their "must run" clips from Sinclair to the local stations are heavily in favor of Trump.

Either way, the two party system is designed to force each side to fight over simple and easily defined rights with the end game being zero. If America had half a brain their would be no right and left just common sense, instead we will move on issues just to align our self with a make believe platform that supports our one or two most important issues. This means we constantly chase our own tails and make zero progress.

Seriously? Lets see, the right has both sides of the house, the executive branch, the judicial branch, 33/50 governorships, 32/50 state houses, I can go on and on.

I seriously just found the worst torture style ever and that is to repeat a sentence over and over by different voices.. I almost lost my mind listening to “this is extremely dangerous to our democracy “ and had to shut it down. My head still hurts.

I can’t imagine listening to that over and over for 5 minutes and you give me an hour of that, I will sell you my family so you can stop

OK, my comment is a little hyperbolic, but true nonetheless. The media in this country is overwhelming liberal, left leaning. The people that control the messages you get, support lefty policies and ideas. You think it's about the haves versus the have nots, but I don't see it that way. It's about who controls the message, and who has no control over the message. There are haves and have nots in the latter group. Being rich doesn't mean you get a separate, more accurate message. Rich people read and hear the same messages that I do. My father is friends with a couple of rich people, and they complain about the same things my dad does. They too don't know who to believe sometimes. No, they don't have me where they want, lol. I seek the truth as far as I can see.

It doesn't matter who controls what in government, because the media has the final say, they control the message, unless you take the time to listen directly to government officials. But who has time for that? So, the media is responsible for covering the news, because that is their job, not yours. Your job is to watch the news and decide for yourself, what you think. But, the media is left leaning and therefore bias and sometimes, extremely bias, to the point where they mislead through clever editing and word play. I have always felt, that, the media is more powerful than our government.

True. However, take a look at the sheer number of liberal outfits and see how many people they reach each week. Not even close, the liberals, and I use that term loosely, are in the lead by a wide margin. It's just common knowledge, and I am sure you know that, that the left controls the vast majority of messages people hear and read. From the commercials you see on tv, to the network newscast. The left is in control.

That is really scary, and really laughable, all at the same time..... They print the same shit out and send it to all the news stations..... Yea, totally original, not fake news.

A couple of key counter points here...
1. The top 1%-3% DOES NOT share the same problems as everyone else! (unless we are talking cancer or infidelity)
2. There are a lot left leaning media outlets, but that does not equal total control or influence, if that were the case two of the last four Presidents would not be Republican.
3. "The message" is not the "final say". Please link the legislation the media passed. Did the media say "I am the Decider"? and he meant it. -G.W. Bush
