HuskerShark Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 The UsS "establishment" does not have a Nazi style propaganda machine, and to argue that it does makes the arguer sound like a looney tune. How much do you really know about "Nazi style propaganda machine"? A fair amount, but I'm not an expert. For one thing, though, the nazis eliminated freedom of the press and took control of all modes of communication, censoring any message that wasn't in line with their propaganda. No one in the US has done that, establishment or otherwise, except maybe Trump. Trump? lol, he could sneeze in the wrong direction and the media would bash him for it. Do you conveniently ignore that the Obama admin feeds the stories that they want in the mainstream media directly to CNN?.... Link to comment

huKSer Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Interesting. I didn't even think about this - for America it might be because the last two attacks occurred during the 4th holiday. Western indifference to ISIS attacks on Muslims 1 Link to comment

You have to prove your claim. That's how this works. Link to comment
NM11046 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 OMG - I'm fine with people stating OPINIONs, that's what this board is all about. But when you claim something's a fact then be ready to show that it's so, and that it's from a non-biased source. Trying to deflect someone who asks you where this "fact" comes from is childish and elementary. Link to comment
huskerfan2000 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Fox has more viewership than all of ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. Having the most viewers and the best ratings is literally the definition of mainstream. Look it up, everything I found says you are wrong! CNN and Fox are Cable networks. There is a reason why ABC, NBC and CBS are all rated separately than the cable networks. Link to comment

huskerfan2000 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I get so sick of the "main stream media" constant comments. Anymore, Fox is a "main stream media". The only reason people don't include them is because they are the ones that came up with the idiotic term in the first place (marketing) to buffalo people into thinking THEY are telling the truth and those people over there aren't because they are "main stream media". BS..... No, it isn't. It is considered cable network station, but it isn't rated the same and isn't part of the mainstream. Wait, so Fox news came up with the term "mainstream media"? I would love to see YOUR proof of that. Link to comment
