I, for one, used to watch CNN every morning and tried Fox, used to watch MSNBC (until that stupid, reckless spoiled brat child of a woman who works with Joe Scarborough) came on, you know the one who got the job and gets to act like a spoiled child simply because her dad is Zbigniew Brzezinski. Then , like I said, I tried CNN and FOX and I just got to the point where it just hit me.......I knew the news used to lie here and there about whatever, but now they just don't even try to hide it. Ever since they put those women anchors on there the lies are near 100% now and it's more or less to just patronize the American people. I work at a cable company and I am the one who actually gets people this programming upon request and I hear all the time people are just frustrated with the news and don't trust it because it is so obviously controlled. I myself, have just gotten rid of my TV altogether, I study and find other ways to amuse myself rather than just sitting there listening to ostensible lies. I find it interesting thought that they have replaced almost all of the men on the news with women news anchors and now everyone thinks the news (some of which was once trusted) are all synonymous with lies. Who better to lie right? Every guy in every country (mostly America) can attest to how well a woman can look you right in the eye and lie and you wouldn't even suspect a think. Kudos to the Illuminati on that one, you couldn't have found better replacements for men, if your agenda is to dumb down the world and have people lied to on a daily basis and still be believable than those attractive females that they have on the news right now who are some of the best liars money can pay for. No more TV/News for me, I got rid of it like 3 months ago and as I said, I work at a cable company.

I think it has to do with more and more people having internet access due to cell phones and finding alternative news sources. It's like watching a flat screen LCD then going back to old tube TV "MSM" once you get that dose of reality you realize the MSM is a work of fiction. I would not be surprised if many former MSM viewers lurk here often some even joining.

The MSM has jumped the shark and insulted the viewers intelligence too many times now. People are sick of political propaganda and hearing about Lindsey Lohan and irreverent crap. They actually want to know what is going on in the world. Thanks for dropping the ball MSM, like i knew you would


Main Stream Media = Mind Numbing Stupidity

Apparently you didn't take much of a look at the username, or the avatar, of the person who made the OP.

Seriously funny stuff.

Just a few years ago this same news media was shills for the Bush administration. They're not really left or right shills, its even worse than that, they are just SHILLS, they are the mindless zombies. The repeaters not investigative journalists.

This isn't a Left/Right issue. All the countries of the world need less repressive laws, ie more freedom AND far better services to the people with good safety nets. They need the best of all the ideologies. But they get they get peddled the worst of all.

The media is always an arm of the Gov, their PR.

Yeah at the cable company I work for people are always calling up and cancelling because of Netflix and online streaming, but this is probably the REAL reason government wants to shut down the internet and take that from us, because they see the decline and the MSM is the last media they have to control us, or at least TRY to (although they seem to be a product of their own dumbing down system if they think it works anymore). They know the internet is the last bastion of freedom we have for our minds. If they control that then they would have taken every media venue we have and turned it into a corporate financial whore machine that controls the populous's state of mind. We will have to go back to books and town hall meetings to get in sync with what the government is doing, but they won't let that happen because groups who discuss government will be called terrorists ....as per the Patriot act 2.
