Prime Example of the Liberal Press...and...

Post by Glennfs »

......liberals in general as they are the masters of lying and telling the truth at the same time.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/thanksgi ... 40061.html

This article talks about how Thanksgiving sales overcame inflation because people spent 3pct more than last year.

It is less optimistic about black Friday but does state sales are supposed to be 1pct more than last year.

When the truth is with Bidenflation close to 9pct last year people are spending more but getting less.

Which is exactly how it would be reported if Republicans were in charge and if it had been Republicans whose economic policies were the cause of Bidenflation.

No, it's just a prime example of how you see the world. You always work to find a dark side of anything Dems do.

You said that ObamaCare would be a complete disaster, yet it wasn't and you rely on it yourself, right up until you rely on another great liberal program, Medicare.

No, idiot. There is no such thing as Bidenflation. Inflation is worldwide. But you are too damn stupid to understand that. Iirc, inflation is less here than in other industrialized countries.

But keep lying since that is what conservatives do.

This is the first clue that the person starting this thread has no idea what he's talking about at all.

I guess it was the "Liberal Press" that covered Donald Trump 24/7 From the moment he walked down the stairs, making him more powerful and popular than any disgusting pig fascist should ever be.

Okay, here's a couple of questions I doubt you have the guts to answer.

1. I Rueters News Service liberal or conservative and provide a link to support your answer.
Point: Rueters is rated as being center, that is neither liberal or conservative. https://www.allsides.com/news-source/reuters

2. Which part(s) of the article in the link are telling the truth?

3. Which part(s) of the article in the link are lying?

And no, this isn't a game because unlike you I don't play games when asking someone to backup their claims. So, are you going to provide actual, factual answers or are you going to run away (BEEP! BEEP!) as you usually do?

Liberal press? As in faux news, Newsmax, OAN, Breitbart, Sinclair Broadcasting ( which controls up to 40 percent of local news operations)! Is that the "liberal press" he spews his horseshit about?

Again they are lying and telling the truth at the same time.
From the article it would appear that because sales numbers are up inflation is not effecting spending. Which would be great news for the liberal democrats if true.
When in fact people are spending more and getting less if you factor that spending is up 1 to 3 pct but inflation was over 8pct.

That is not very hard to understand

I'm having trouble thinking of anything more utterly clueless than judging the success of a Thanksgiving holiday by the percent change in retail sales.

You will obviously want to participate in Everyone Send Z $1000 Wednesday.

Bidenflation doesn't exist, except as a Republican semiotic psyop. Putinflation sort of exists, mostly because his war ran up the price of fossil fuel and contributed to several disruptions in global shipping that started because of Covid, which was caused by a politically neutral viral event somewhere in China. I could call it Covidflation, because that would be marginally closer to the truth, but I won't, because I don't have to make up dumb labels to get my points across. I realize in saying this, of course, that conservatives do just that. They have institutionalized it, and why not? It grabs the attention of American media consumers with 1-second attention spans, and it's much more effective than trying to reason with the masses which have been conditioned not to reason about anything, just to respond to carefully implanted Pavlovian stimuli.

There actually used to be a "liberal press." Sort of. It was only one or two publications, but they were at one time fairly thoughtful ones that got a lot of respect. The robber barons bought and neutered them decades ago. Now there is only one huge vast conservative conglomerate network which hammers little facile one-liners into the flabby brains of the intellectually lazy.

Another dumb thread. Glenn thinks Biden caused world wide inflation but then votes in people whose top priority is to investigate Hunter Biden.

Hey gas prices have dropped. Guess Biden doesn’t get credit though. He only somehow controls gas prices when they go up…

Good one, Drak. I didn't have space in my previous screed to decry the tendency of conservatives to escape any real discussion of issues by personalizing everything. The idea that a process could cause something, or that a general failing in a large group of people could cause something, or that a random mutation in the RNA of a little-known virus could cause something, is much too complex for them. Everything has to be one guy's fault.

Always been about that, they have the maturity level of a 12 yr old. Best example is the name calling of the prez who is tremendously successful and the calling people socialists.

They seek out the scared little kids inside every one of us, and talk to that part of the brain instead of the older, more rational parts. That's why their rhetoric always resembles the taunts that are popular with members of the 3rd grade in elementary school, like making fun of people's names or repeating silly old stereotypes about some very superficial individual attributes.

Anything more mature is harder to use for propaganda. They're after the kneejerk reaction, not the reasonable one. They want us to see their opponents as big piles of doggy doo.

Yes, like the nicknames of very good people like Biden. The more successful he is the more they attack.

Watching news, trump dines with white supremacist Nick Fuentes. Cons everywhere still support them.

I have said "board cons" about a thousand times now, I guess I dont need to anymore. ANY reference to cons includes those on this site. White supremacist is another term or WS for short, though I am not sure everyone knows that acronym. I guess it is an "initialism" actually, not an acronym.

The inconvenient fact remains that nowadays there is no liberal press, except in Republican selfish-meme propaganda. Even when there marginally was, its readership was a fraction of the audience for media. In this long-gone period, there were a few moderate Democratic papers and a lot of red-baiting Republican papers, and actually when it came to content there wasn't a whole lot of difference. Then there was TV news, which at the time was generally a half hour for local and a half hour for national which came from the network. The major difference from today's Eyewitless Nooz was twofold.

One:

The FCC got after people who lied, in the usual slow and lurching government manner, but no one wanted to risk one of their huge fines or the occasional loss of license. Ray Gun's people fixed that one. They castrated the FCC. You didn't even have to log which engineer was signed in to control the transmitter, let alone care whether the news was objective and served the public interest. And when you added in the massive coverage of space-based media, thus began the long slide into Faux Nooz and its growing legion of imitators.

Two:

There was a lot less local content, nothing even close to the hours of Nooz that air now. Like now, a visual story like a huge fire or a riot would lead, but then they'd go to features about some local charity flower show or something. It was pretty fluffy. Good mostly for publicists looking to promote their latest celebrity doily signing party.

Now the local Nooz lasts for hours. It's considered a lead-in for the whole evening's programming. It becomes ever more grabby and manipulative. Ratings are everything.

In LA, it's entertainment. Some kid goes for a prime-time freeway joyride in a stolen Jeep Cherokee, and within minutes there are 5 Nooz helicopters over it, and that becomes the story in itself. These aerial armadas create vast, rolling waves of ominous noise which move over the city like Godzilla out to get Tokyo again. TV screens or their cellular equivalents light up all over town. Then Twitter goes crazy, more of Elon's ads get viewed, AI targeting algorithms get their dinner, and game on. Another weird evening in wretched LA.

It's not as bad in other US cities, but there is still that heavy metal brigade that comes out and becomes the story in itself.

Biden and successful right.
The only presidents in our lifetime that Biden has been better than is Trump and Carter.
Biden is obviously in mental decline to the point he can't remember how his son died. Almost everything he has touched has been a disaster.
As unqualified and as bad of a president Harris would be, Biden needs to resign and let her take over.

Reality check:
But there is a reason Biden would make that statement, even if inartfully. The White House, when asked to comment, pointed to stories dating back to 2018 in which Biden has tied the toxic burn pits his son was exposed to during his military service to his brain cancer.

Beau Biden worked as a civilian training judges and prosecutors in Kosovo after the war and spent a year in Iraq with his Guard unit, both times located near burn pits, which have been used to dispose of waste on bases overseas.

After making it a priority during his State of the Union address, Biden signed the PACT Act in August to expand federal health care services for veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxic substances and to require further study on the mortality and cancer trends of veterans.

Biden acknowledged being unaware of "direct scientific evidence" of a link between his son's death and burn pits during a 2018 interview with PBS, but he also noted "a lot higher incidence of cancer" in veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. He said then that he became aware of the possible link while reading, "The Burn Pits: The Poisoning of America's Soldiers," by Joseph Hickman.

"There's a whole chapter on my son Beau in there, and that stunned me. I didn't know that," Biden said then.

While signing the legislation, Biden made a more direct association between his son's death and burn pits while speaking to a young girl who lost her father. Biden said his grandson, who was seated next to the girl, lost his father "to the same burn pits."

"He knows what you're going through," he said.
