Fox News Destroys Trump - God almost kills Priebus

[kpt018]

Priebus is right. And on the topic of state ran media it is long overdue.

We need a media outlet which is controlled and subsidized by the Federal Government. We cannot always trust independent outlets to report unbiased and Administrations should be able to say what they mean. Media ran by a government which represents the people and was elected by the people will offer another and different perspective.

Something like CBC, or BBC is needed. That doesn't mean independent media will be illegal.

But CNN and Fox have shown us with their biases that an administration whether it is Obama or Trump or Bush needs a voice. State subsidized media will also be more independent than private run media and will be run BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE.

The only media we get shouldn't come solely from BILLIONAIRES AND MILLIONAIRES WHO OWN MEDIA OUTLETS.

It should come from politicians with incentives to hide what they're doing or to only show stories favorable to them? It's like you want propaganda. The whole point of a free media, which is protected by the constitution, is to inform the public of what leaders are doing to keep them honest.

I think overall the media did a shit job of covering the election and does a shit job overall, but there are solid reporters out there doing good work. The idea that the government should control the media is like putting the inmates in charge of the prison.

We did already have PBS and NPR.

And people bitch they are liberal with the right wanting to torpedo them to oblivion all the time.

That's the point, due to

Even if they are 100% neutral, they will be deemed as biased.

The people yelling about Fake News already think the Department of Labor is lying about employment statistics. Why would they trust government media?

They only trust hearing things they already like.

Maybe so. I wasn't the guy who advocated it, just clarifying that "state run media" didn't mean a complete takeover of all media.

You're being a bit optimistic here. State-run media is fine for the most part but don't think that it'll be run by and for the people. It'll just be used to shout the loudest by whichever administration is in power.

Are you seriously fucking implying it would be anything but propaganda?

And, just for kicks, in what way are demonstrably "less free" than you were in 2000? In your answer, please stick to real shit that actually affects your day to day life, not some hyperbolic word vomit about your political philosophy.

I guess if you include the patriot act it's technically true.
