You just keep making accusations, attempting to marginalize, to discredit, without actually discussing the ideas themselves.

This video gave a rational presentation of what's going on with the mainstream media bias and you deflect with something about an attempt to destroy the Chinese Communist Party. You couldn't find anything in the 36 minutes of the video worth discussing, yet JohnR found agreement with what was said in just the first 7 minutes.
the issue is its as paid advertisement by a media outlet who is in trumps corner.. complaing Trump isnt getting a fair shake. You cant have it both ways

92 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents "say that traditional news outlets knowingly report false or misleading stories at least sometimes,"

You dont need this women to convince republicans.. there conspiracy driven naturally

You haven't addressed the issue presented in the video. We all have issues. If you want to discuss your issue, start your own thread. Telling us what your issue is in this case does not refute, much less even discuss, what was said in the video. Either she was telling the truth or she wasn't. Either she was being logical, rational, and reasonable, or she wasn't.

As far as your issue goes, there is more statistical (and logical, rational, and reasonable) evidence that most of the mainstream media is against Trump. That it lies about Trump. And that the corner they're in is the anti-Trump corner. And their "journalists" get paid a lot to be there. Probably a lot more than Epoch Times's. And their stories are basically anti-Trump advertisements disguised as reportage.


92 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents "say that traditional news outlets knowingly report false or misleading stories at least sometimes,"

Is that some other "issue" you want to discuss, or just another throw-in to avoid discussing the video?

And yet another "issue." Republicans are conspiracy driven. Care to start a thread about that. Or if, good God, you really are commenting on the video by claiming that she was fabricating a conspiracy . . . do tell. Tell us how you arrived at that conclusion.

Also, since you like to rag on the messenger rather than discuss the message, Media Bias/Fact Check says this about The Epoch Times: "Typically, these stories are well sourced and reasonably low biased." And "they have not failed any fact checks."

She mentioned fox news popularity but not in the same box as abc cbs nbc. About bias

Said Trumps behavior was acceptable hes just a equal opportunity approach to attacking people .. brought up the clinton foundation and steponoplous .

And the host suggested the mainstream media is just trying to shame or guilt Trump..

Maybe you should listen to what Trump actually says ..instead of youtube video and representing them as earth shattering

Youtube truthful. Main stream media liers

Thats hilarious how much you trust and repost from youtube .
