After thousands from the Walk Away movement (people who left the Democrat party) marched in DC, I searched several times on CNN and MSNBC to see how they would cover that. I couldn't find anything. They just didn't bother to cover it at all. Not surprising.
What they don't say is much more informative than what they do, those are the stories to pay attention to which is why we all need to have other sources of information, so we know what they are not talking about.
My absolute favorite example was the reporter who was in Minneapolis in front of a raging fire from a burning building claiming the protests were "mostly peaceful"!
Exactly! Once a protest has been labeled a riot every single person who remains is breaking the law and is guilty of rioting! Wether it be BLm protests that turned to riots where burning, looting and murder broke out or the J6 protest that got out of control enough to be declared a riot with one death, injuries and people trespassing in government buildings. (Not an insurection!)
It’s not just news media, it’s our Legal establishment. When a prosecutor says he won’t prosecute because a person is elderly and not competent, but yet that same person is allowed to to remain in office, you know it’s deeper than just words in a newscast.
'It's a big club, and you ain't in it!' George Carlin. I legit can no longer laugh at any of his stuff. It all just sounds like obvious, boring facts I have long since understood.
Too bad people can't connect the dots. So, the DOJ won't prosecute Joe Biden because he is too old and senile to be held accountable for his actions. But he is fine running for another four year term as president. Worse, Joe Biden at a press conference refuted the DOJ's claims. He insisted that the report exonerated him, but refuted that there was anything wrong with his mental acuity. Sorry, Joe, you can't have it both ways.
Hillary wasn't prosecuted because she supposedly didn't mean to break the law. The media caters to Democrats and makes them out to be well-meaning, historic icons that it's likely no jury would prosecute them anyway.

He doesn't even have to do all that!! All they need is for people to start calling it put about FJB and they immediately just pump out headlines about Trump, lol.
I listened to them for most of my life. Until I started actually paying attention and caught them lying too many times. And these are lies that I have personally seen and recognized, not "lies" that someone else (as in anonymous sources) told me about... Now that I've realized that they are NOT beacons of truth and fact, I notice far more lying than even before. "Mainstream Media" has become MAINSTREAM LEFT WING PROPAGANDA. And the normal "sheep" (of which I was one...) have become willfully ignorant sheep.

Thanks John. there are those who pay attention to what has happened with our Corporate media over the past 15 years and those who have barely any idea what is actually happening. Sad.
Fact: Trump shot an eagle on hole #3 at his West Palm Beach golf course yesterday.. CNN, MSNBC, NPR, ABC, CBS: Breaking News! Trump just shot 3 Bald Eagles with an assault rifle near his West Palm Beach home yesterday and tried to cover it up..
John, I have long enjoyed you personal, and extremely balanced journalism. As a consumer editor for ABC’s Good Morning America, you did fantastic and fair investigating for the people who had no voice. As a correspondent for 20/20 you brought your fairness into a huge audiences home, which opened our eyes to the disgustIng behaviour of many industries. Your “Give Me a Break” segments were amazing, and profoundly informative, and timely. To put it succinctly…you have given MORE towards the good for people, offered peace of mind to millions, and directly, undoubtedly, assisted in saving many lives from either death, or some other injury. You have exposed evil. In my book, you are worth a whole lot to a great many of us struggling folk. Today, not surprisingly, you still offer your fair, decent, and always sophisticated journalism with the decency and truth which is of a dying trend, SADLY. THANK YOU JOHN. I hope the very best for you, and all of your family and friends. Warm, brotherly love, John. You’re one of the really good ones.
To be fair one can never tell which is coming out of his mouth. The media suck and the dems a nest of vipers but Trump is an egotistical self serving narcissist and compulsive liar. That I would take him over Biden only shows how bad the Dems are, not how good Trump is.
1:20 You're doing it too, John. Your examples of Trump "lying" were him exaggerating. Fun fact: he threw a dinner at the White House and said there were burgers "a mile high" and the dishonest media counted THAT as a lie.
Trump deserves to be defended against false accusations. But he should not be defended against when he does lie (which he does) nor his AUTHORITARIANISM, and anti -constitutional actions.
That's what I was thinking too. As a society we differentiate between white lies, exaggeration, hyperbole and just outright blatant lies. We all know someone that exaggerates and we all can stand them a lot better than someone that just blatantly lies, you never know where you stand
I've watched you since I was a kid & you are still one of my favorites!! Thank you John for always bringing light & shedding light on important issues, you are a gem!!!

I can’t afford to donate but I make a point to contribute in the only way I’m able which is to hit the light button and always watch all your videos so that hopefully your advertisement dollars will pay off. Thank you for your balanced And very often entertaining reporting.

@@svbarryduckworth628 Hats off for tolerating Prairie Home Companion. I personally couldn't get through the book Lake Wobegon Days that made him famous.
Thank you Stossel. Phenomenal work. This situation is absolutely out of control. My wife is from China (we stayed there for a while), and I would say our media is even worse here. It’s relentless one-sided propaganda. More people need to shine a spotlight on how rabidly biased reporting has become.
As a 31 y.o i wonder if this is how the news used to be? Factual, informative, and unbiased. You are doing a great service for the world john keep up the good work!
There was a time when it was news and you could watch coverage of the same events on whichever channel’s production you liked best. Those days are gone! CNN started off normal, but then started the slide. Now it’s a disaster.
40 years ago the MSM was way more subtle in their propaganda. They thought the watching public would quickly see their bias if they pushed it too far. Most propaganda was more of omission, leaving out things that contradicted the Narrative. Today, the MSM and the government realize that the vast majority of the public can be bent into any shape by the crudest of propaganda.
I grew up thinking I had to watch "the news" in order to be a good citizen (back in those days they had a monopoly). But even at the young age of twelve I noticed that CBS and the others didn't seem to like republicans. As the years went by the bias became so clear I could spot it a mile away. But old habits are hard to break. It was about when I was 65 years old that I finally switched off broadcast television news for the last time. There were so many good You Tube channels with REAL news on them. Why would anyone need corporate journalism?
You'r right. I'm old enough to remember. In the old days the deep state had a monopoly on the MSM. Since the invention of the internet (thanks Al Gore), ignorance is a choice.

Thanks john I agree with you 95% of the time, you seem old school, you want to try and get to the truth.
Thank you John Stossel for reporting the real news ❤
Hypocrisy at its finest. No more real news on main media. I don’t get my news through those channels any more.
The legacy, mainstream media outlets can't go out of business soon enough for me.
Sick of calling them mainstream, we make the main-stream. This is corporate/state media.
💯AGREE.
They won't. Pharma and the government fund them.
Stossel you are amazing keep it up thank you
Thanks John. there are those who pay attention to what has happened with our Corporate media over the past 15 years and those who have barely any idea what is actually happening. Sad.
Fact: Trump shot an eagle on hole #3 at his West Palm Beach golf course yesterday..
CNN, MSNBC, NPR, ABC, CBS:
Breaking News! Trump just shot 3 Bald Eagles with an assault rifle near his West Palm Beach home yesterday and tried to cover it up..
Now, I know you know what all this tells you! The evidence is plain and clear! It's a warning sign for sure!
FoxNews, too. They are now the alphabet establishment and proved it during the 2020 election.
Don't forget he is also a threat to democracy somehow.
I heard CNN say that trusted anonymous sources on the scene heard him call bald eagles "suckers"... 😢
BWAHAHAHA! So right on the mark. Brilliant.
Great analysis
My favorite are the 'atmospheric events' that are no more than nature.
In Western Australia it gets a little warm during the height of summer. So they paint the map red and blame climate change.
We call it normal.
Climate hysteria 😂
Totally agree, 'atomspheric flood' that is nothing more than a heavy rain storm, or 'polar vortex' for a very cold artic air heading south.
@@OpinionFactCheckerPeople have the shortest memories when it comes to weather.
when you look at them all as actors, it all makes sense
Thanks Mr. Stossel much needed truth telling!
Why do we have state funded broadcasting? Wouldn't we want news independent of government pressure?
Good job John Stossel keep up the good work you show details that need to be corrected in our nation that we don't get from the other media❤
John, I have long enjoyed you personal, and extremely balanced journalism. As a consumer editor for ABC’s Good Morning America, you did fantastic and fair investigating for the people who had no voice. As a correspondent for 20/20 you brought your fairness into a huge audiences home, which opened our eyes to the disgustIng behaviour of many industries. Your “Give Me a Break” segments were amazing, and profoundly informative, and timely. To put it succinctly…you have given MORE towards the good for people, offered peace of mind to millions, and directly, undoubtedly, assisted in saving many lives from either death, or some other injury. You have exposed evil. In my book, you are worth a whole lot to a great many of us struggling folk. Today, not surprisingly, you still offer your fair, decent, and always sophisticated journalism with the decency and truth which is of a dying trend, SADLY. THANK YOU JOHN. I hope the very best for you, and all of your family and friends. Warm, brotherly love, John. You’re one of the really good ones.
The media isn't concerned with Trump's lies, they're concerned with him telling us the truth. 🤷
To be fair one can never tell which is coming out of his mouth. The media suck and the dems a nest of vipers but Trump is an egotistical self serving narcissist and compulsive liar. That I would take him over Biden only shows how bad the Dems are, not how good Trump is.
Lol what truth

They know, certain words have power, so they cast spells on people while simultaneously gaslighting others
The word spell alone should get us thinking. We SPELL words. 🪄🤯
I’m a conservative and love watching Mr. Stossel’s videos, he is fair and very informative.
John Stossel is a treasure
Obviously John Strossel is FAR RIGHT!!!🤣🤣🤣
Keep up the good work my friend!
This is one of the best Stossel videos I’ve ssen
Good stuff from Stossel as usual
This is clear, good that people start to look at other sources.
This has been going on for decades
Over 100 years
1:20 You're doing it too, John. Your examples of Trump "lying" were him exaggerating. Fun fact: he threw a dinner at the White House and said there were burgers "a mile high" and the dishonest media counted THAT as a lie.
There are times Trump jokes or trolls and MSM chooses to take his words literally. That is why they are fake news
That picture of the inaugural day was taken early
Trump deserves to be defended against false accusations.
But he should not be defended against when he does lie (which he does) nor his AUTHORITARIANISM, and anti -constitutional actions.
@@aaa7189 Yeah I remember that as well. I think it was actually packed, but they tried to say it was like that early picture throughout.
That's what I was thinking too. As a society we differentiate between white lies, exaggeration, hyperbole and just outright blatant lies.
We all know someone that exaggerates and we all can stand them a lot better than someone that just blatantly lies, you never know where you stand
The truth can be hard to handle, so lies are often used to placate the masses. However, it's important to report fairly. Thanks, Stossel!
Love John Stossel.... ❤❤❤
Thanks John, for exposing media bias.
That isn't what he is doing. His credibility is in the conspiracy category.
The tongue bath Erin Burnett gave Zelensky is worth a look. I thought she was going to cry.
After that interview, they shared a cigarette.😂
@@paulrybarczyk5013So nice, they did it twice.
She cried but not from her eyes!
She did everything but make love to him on camera. The love making probably happened later, off camera.
It was so cringe to watch. You’d swear she was interviewing her favourite rock or Hollywood star?
I've watched you since I was a kid & you are still one of my favorites!! Thank you John for always bringing light & shedding light on important issues, you are a gem!!!
This pisses me off to no end ! Thanks John !
Refreshing! This is the site to follow! Keep it coming, John!
Like us!!!! I’m with you Mr John. I can’t afford to donate but I make a point to contribute in the only way I’m able which is to hit the light button and always watch all your videos so that hopefully your advertisement dollars will pay off. Thank you for your balanced And very often entertaining reporting.
Always a pleasure listening to John Stossel. Common sense reporting
My dream is that these videos John is doing will make it to a television news show. Uncommon sense needs to see its way to everyone in this country. Simple and to the point. We need so much more of this.

Good one...
I like the one, If you don't read the newspapers, you'r uninformed. If you read the newspapers, you'r misinformed.
And that was before New York Times v. Sullivan gutted one of the few laws there was.
Not true, nowadays there are both libel and slander laws.
And thanks to New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, that's even more true today than it was when Twain said it.
Thanks John for telling the truth when the press in our country will not.
Great truths and episode. While I'm at it NPR (Nationally-dem Party Radio) should be defunded.

Not a joke!
Just continue to ignore the legacy media into oblivion.
Thanks John this is actually journalism.
I am withdrawing my support fir NPR
You're still supporting them well into the 20s?
We did years ago. No more free mugs and keychains though. We don't miss them. Click and Clack retired and died and Prairie Home Companion was outed as a sexual predator. What is left there worthwhile to listen to anyhow?
@@svbarryduckworth628 Hats off for tolerating Prairie Home Companion. I personally couldn't get through the book Lake Wobegon Days that made him famous.

Thank you Stossel. Phenomenal work. This situation is absolutely out of control. My wife is from China (we stayed there for a while), and I would say our media is even worse here. It’s relentless one-sided propaganda. More people need to shine a spotlight on how rabidly biased reporting has become.
Well done John👍
Stossel never disappoints! Great story!
NPR hasn't gone against govt propaganda in awhile, so it really doesn't matter who is the CEO!
NPR IS government propaganda.
NPR went radical far left at least by 2018, before that they were just left. They're practically Communist Revolutionaries, now.
They are gov't propaganda. Hard to go against yourself. Haha
They went against Trump …
I thought they were alright, but they proved me wrong. National Panhandler Radio!
Thank you Mr Stossel
Thank you John…you are the most thoughtful, deliberate and thoughtful reporting in these turbulent times
As a 31 y.o i wonder if this is how the news used to be? Factual, informative, and unbiased. You are doing a great service for the world john keep up the good work!
There was a time when it was news and you could watch coverage of the same events on whichever channel’s production you liked best. Those days are gone! CNN started off normal, but then started the slide. Now it’s a disaster.
40 years ago the MSM was way more subtle in their propaganda. They thought the watching public would quickly see their bias if they pushed it too far. Most propaganda was more of omission, leaving out things that contradicted the Narrative.
Today, the MSM and the government realize that the vast majority of the public can be bent into any shape by the crudest of propaganda.
Monsieur Stossel thank you for nice comprehensible description of life.
I grew up thinking I had to watch "the news" in order to be a good citizen (back in those days they had a monopoly). But even at the young age of twelve I noticed that CBS and the others didn't seem to like republicans. As the years went by the bias became so clear I could spot it a mile away. But old habits are hard to break. It was about when I was 65 years old that I finally switched off broadcast television news for the last time. There were so many good You Tube channels with REAL news on them. Why would anyone need corporate journalism?
I knew a guy that consumed both print and video media every day, he was one of the dumbest people I've met.
You'r right. I'm old enough to remember.
In the old days the deep state had a monopoly on the MSM.
Since the invention of the internet (thanks Al Gore), ignorance is a choice.
Thanks John Stossel for who you are and what you do.
