      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.

      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!)

      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.

      I had a roommate who religiously had the TV turned to MSNBC. The moment he got home, to the moment before going to bed. He usually wouldn’t even really watch it, it just had to be on.
      I asked him why, and he just shrugged. I pressed and pressed him for an answer, because he’s a smart guy. Finally he just looked down and said, “because I need to know what I’m supposed to say.”

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.

    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.

      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?

      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.
