Trump supporters and conspiracy theory - Part 2

[Colin Crow]

Dr. Crow:

J & J vaccine rolling out today, here in U.S.
Seems like good news. Requires much less freezing, handling, etc. Efficacy?
Your thoughts

Vaccine looks ok but I think production numbers are not high yet. Will be a help but need to ramp up production. Bonus is a one jab vaccination and can be kept in fridge. Also I have heard that the ultracold storage for Pfizer has been lifted to -20C.....normal freezer temp for about two weeks now. Will help storage issues.

Lots of good real world data about to come out on vaccines effect in Scotland and Israel I hear.

"All media is dominated by the far right."

I've read some crazy stuff on the internet - some of it here - but for someone to say that in the US "all media is dominated by the far right" has to be near the top of my list.

"All media"? "Far right"? Someone who thinks the NY Times and MSNBC and CNN are part of this "far right" domination - as they must be since they are major parts of the media - is either joking or....well, not all there.

NY Times has conservative writers and are attacking Gov. Cuomo. If they were "liberal" you would never hear a word about it.  The New York Times publishes Maureen Dowd's bogus hit pieces against President Biden. Again, if they were "Liberal" her hit pieces wouldn't be published. The same thing with Clinton's emails. The New York Times lead the charge with their smears.

CNN has right wing pundits spreading their disinformation along with right wing guests that are allowed to spread lies that go unchecked. The Washington Post has conservative writers on their staff.

Last Sunday on the ABC, NBC, CBS, morning shows every single guest was a current right wing Senator spreading the bogus election fraud lie and praising Criminal Donald. Again, no pushback from the hosts. 

Again, if the media was so "Liberal" these people wouldn't even be on the program.

Now let's look at how the media is right wing dominated.

Cumulus Media is a radio broadcasting company that owns the bulk of radio stations all across America syndicating right wing talk radio. Also, there is Salem and others that broadcast far right talk radio. There is no liberal talk radio syndication in all media markets like there is right wing radio.

Cable News is dominated by right wing Faux, NewsMax, OAN. There is no all liberal cable news network.

Sinclair Broadcasting is a far right wing media empire that owns the majority of ABC, CBS, NBC local affiliates pushing far right wing propaganda into local news broadcasts. Local news is not supposed to be biased pushing right wing propaganda but their news reaches nearly 70% of American households. Sinclair also had ties to the corrupt and criminal Trump White House. 

There is no "all liberal" radio syndication across America. There is no "all liberal" cable news network. There is no "all liberal" broadcasting company owning 70% of the local media that reaches households in America.

There is no "liberal media" like there is the right wing dominated media that controls television and radio. There is no local ABC, CBS, NBC tv affiliate that has "liberal editorials" or has a pre written script that forces local anchors to follow like Sinclair pushes all across America with right wing propaganda. Most people get their news from local news and it's now dominated by the right where it should be unbiased with no slant to either side.   

Mr. Gailbraith has no clue what he's talking about. The "Liberal Media" is a myth and a talking point that right wingers use to play the victim and to justify buying up more media markets.

Here's what real leadership and what a REAL President does. He gets to work and gets the job done. President Biden inherited a COVID disaster and a failed plan along with a major vaccine shortage. Only a month of office, Joe Biden turned the pandemic around by ramping up the number of vaccinations where he will blow past his vaccination goal that right wingers scoffed at. He secured millions of more doses of vaccines for Americans when Criminal Donald passed on securing more doses last year. Now, there will be enough vaccine for every adult by the end of May. That's what real leadership does. We would have never gotten any of this with Criminal Donald.

On the other hand, Trump sycophant and stooge Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is opening up the entire state of Texas and ending mask mandates next week as Texas is still a Covid disaster with Houston having every deadly COVID variant available. Guess he isn't satisfied unless he is killing more people. Right wingers better not say they are "Pro Life" ever again.

The question isn't whether they are or are not liberal; the question is whether they are part of, as you said, "far right" media. You wrote: "All media is far right." . Correction my error: "All media is dominated by the far right." All means all.

If you think the NY Times is "far right" because they have conservative columnists on their op-ed page or because they are critical of Cuomo then that is a twisted standard of "far right." They also have many liberal columnists and were critical of Trump. Why would a "far right" newspaper have liberal columnists and oppose Trump? Your argument makes no sense.

In any case: the NY Times and MSNBC and Washington Post and CNN are not part of the "far right" media.  And "all media" in the US are not "far right." Period.

Old Joe was completely absent during the Texas disaster.  He shows up a week after the fact when the temps are in the 70s.

He should have thrown paper towels at them like Donald Trump did?

  Gas prices are soaring.  Schools are still closed due to his paymasters at the teacher's union telling him what to do instead of the "scientists" at the CDC.

Teachers don’t get paid nearly enough to risk their and their families’ lives so that rich people can continue to exploit kids’ parents.

  Illegal aliens are pouring across the border in record numbers. 

 

No press conferences due to his cognitive limitations.

He’s not the one with cognitive limitations, “Richard”.  You are.

I never said "all media" is far right. I said the far right wing media dominates the entire media. I said there is no such thing as a "Liberal Media" that right wingers lie about.

President Biden already visited Texas and supplied them with federal aid. Schools are closed because of Covid 19.

Same old b.s. and bogus disinformation.   

Criminal Donald sat around watching Faux Propaganda all day and tweeting. Went golfing every weekend doing nothing while the pandemic went out of control.
