Aided and abetted by a gullible populace, the ‘mainstream’ media, 24/7, 365 days a year, for decades, knowingly misrepresents any viewpoints that differ from its own. Indeed, many media outlets do this, all the time. They take sound bites and out-of-context material and run with it.

Making broadsweeping generalizations is often fraught with danger, but the evidence is ample and non-stop. Simply click on HuffPost.com, Daily Kos, or The Daily Beast, or any of dozens of other left-leaning sites, at any given time.

Not an Even Playing Field

Do right-leaning news outlets and websites do the same? Less so if only because the GOP does not control the narrative as do the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and the major papers in Boston, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Atlanta, Miami, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, ad infinitum.

As a lifelong registered independent and I have voted on all sides of the political spectrum. In recent years, I’ve seen the ‘progressives’ go too far on a range of issues.

I recognize that some in the GOP are behind the times. However, consider that most of the press votes Democrat (85% to 88% in every election) decade after decade, across all jurisdictions, regardless of the candidate, the issues, or the platforms.

The U.S. press, in the main, slants everything to the left. Life-long liberal publishers and reporters revel in sound bites and out-of-context journalism that lambasts, lampoons, and demonizes anyone or any view that strays from the liberal narrative.

Indoctrination Nation

The journalism schools, from Columbia in Missouri, on down, invariably steer students to the left. To sell newspapers, advertising, or other services, the Left’s sound bite, out-of-context approach works as well and, as quickly, as anything.

The Left predictably is most vicious and displays its unbarred racism when characterizing right-leaning African Americans or other minority individuals – those who have the temerity to form their own opinion. Think Condoleezza Rice, Allen West, Armstrong Williams, Larry Elder, Jason Whitlock, Clarence Thomas, the late Herman Cain, Alan Keyes, Senator Tim Scott, and Candace Owens, among legions of others.
