I first noticed this in the lead-up to the Iraq war.

Corporate Media never once mentioned that Saddam committed his worst atrocities with US support. Not once.

You would think that was important context... https://twitter.com/PeebsY0/status/1249684348871286787

Or, look to the destruction of Syria by Western backed terrorists.

Corporate Media pretended it was a "civil war". They pretended "Assad was fighting his own citizens". Lol. They still do.

Nobody seems to care.

"Israel bombed Iranian targets in Syria today"...

Iran was invited. Israel was not.

We aren't supposed to notice that key point.

Look at the slaughter in Yemen. We support that. We still sign weapons deals with the Saudis. We have done our own fighting there.

We are told that it's a foreign conflict. Intractable. A tragedy that's beyond our control. Lol

Look to Libya, which was destroyed by the EU.

Shit... look at Covid deaths between Iran and the USA. And THEY'RE a regime that hates freedom? Jeeze...

I've been to Cuba. Their people are highly educated and industrious. They could overthrow their Government if they wanted to. They just believe in the same goals. They suffered a generation of sanctions to prove it.

Corporate Media wont tell you that.

Corporate Media now wants you to think the fact based order in China is to blame for the devastating chaos that erupted in western nations.

As if we didn't watch their progress every day with a suspicious mind.... As if we couldn't possibly see it coming our way...
(We did)

Corporate Media used to give us more facts than opinions.

Now the #FourthEstate just gives excuses to anyone with an axe to grind.

It's all opinions, all day.

And not even good ones...

The difference between Conservatives and Liberals today:

Liberals look to the data, and apply proven science. They're less interested in the outcome than they are in what does the data tell us TODAY.

Conservatives perform at being tough, and smart. They're neither.

Modern Conservatives behave like pro-wrestling heels.

They dont care what the data says. They care about how they're being made to FEEL. They hate anything that leads them to question themselves or their beliefs. They're Intellectually stuck. Lost in a wilderness they created

Anything that makes them feel lesser is automatically a threat to them and everything they hold dear.

A Leftist just wants a functioning Government... Not to be given a cookie for being a bigot.

The weak will always pretend to be strong. Conservatives cant help themselves. They're intellectually stunted. They're stuck in a state of perpetual adolescence.

We all know what it's like. Not all of us overcome it.

Whenever threatened, we puff up our chest. We like to think the loudest voices win. We like to think we can outmatch anyone put in our way.

It might even be true.

But what good is it to never question yourself? You become corrupt, like Trump. A Heel.

A Leftist accepts they might be wrong. It's why conservatives always cast them as weak, or soft.

They think self-doubt is a reason to argue.

It's funny, because their Savior taught humility.

Conservatives are trying to smear Trudeau with things that will trigger their rabid base. They dont have to be true. They just have to pluck at the inferiorities felt by conservative voters. They blame Trudeau for existing. Not for his policies.

You cant expect reason from them

Corporate Media coddles the feelings of bigots, while ignoring the very tangible facts that debunk the entire ideology.

Corporate Media dismisses the science on the Left, and mocks them for having concerns at all.

It's been like this since news was something to profit from.

You might have heard the myth of the "Liberal Media".

You might even believe there's a tiny shred of truth to that myth.

#FunFact: It never existed. The myth of the #LiberalMedia was made up to excuse Conservatives for creating friendly outlets for their untenable views.

It used to be difficult for them to lie and obfuscate. Personally, I believe Journalists used to be a lot smarter than their subjects.

Now it's more about presentation than anything.
