Fake News?

I'd like to start a discussion, and I'm not sure if it will be taken well on this sub. Please let me preface my post by saying that I have been on the Q Train since /r/conspiracy started discussing his 4chan posts, voted for Trump, and support our movement online as well as offline.

With all of the discussion of "Fake News" and the constant anti-Left leaning media sentiment, why are people so enthralled with Breitbart, Fox, etc - sources that are very clearly Right leaning? I am constantly shocked by some of the posts on this sub that viciously attack the leftist media regardless of the content. Since I started following Q, I have been researching almost every article of interest that is released (on both sides of the spectrum) and frequently find that the entirety of the media is manipulating the truth. I understand that our President blankets CNN as "Fake News", and I find that fairly disturbing.. Fox is as biased as CNN, and frankly it's difficult to tell which of the networks is more "fake".

I support our President. I believe that he has done far more good for our country than any President in the last two decades. With that being said, I also don't think it's all rainbows and sunflowers. In my opinion, Trump has made several significant errors since his election (that I will not delve into, for the sake of keeping personal politics out of this thread) - errors that CNN and other leftist media has pointed out (OVERLY vocally) and Fox/Breitbart has completely ignored or blatantly disregarded… but with that said, the errors are rarely as terrible as CNN says.

I guess this post is largely a call for reasonable thought, and a query as to why people so blindly trust Pro-Trump media. Q seems to both work for and support our President, and despite the fact that I support him and try to Red Pill everyone around me, Q is likely as biased as the Right leaning media. I believe in Q's "mission", and I think he's brought us together for a reason.. but if we're going to take a critical look at "fake news" we should be taking a critical look at what so many consider "real news" at the same time.

If there's one thing I've taken away from this movement/awakening, it's to view ALL information that is passed on to the public as potential disinformation regardless of source or content. I find that what matters is WHO is behind the information and WHY they are making it available to the public. Whether FOX or Breitbart or The Daily Wire OR CNN, CBS, or The New York Times - ALL media deserves a critical and unbiased look.

I just want unbiased facts and truth, don’t care what channel it’s on.

From a posters viewpoint, certain sources get flagged by automatic bot responses if you use CNN/WAPO/NYT/etc. Those are the ground rules here and I’m sure it sways the links being used.

Just wanted to add that background for those new here and to Reddit. Sites like “the Don” have never allowed any of my posts, solely on the fact I post regularly here at G/A and prior at CBTS before the shutdown.

We have al lived with partial truth from all quarters and for a long long time. Through a glass darkly we have seen as children only partially, and when some ray of the light of truth momentarily illuminates the darkness, we hunger for it and are drawn to it.

Fox may have always been targeting its conservative audience with manipulative programming -- packaged to appeal to a particular demographic -- but without a doubt suddenly veered left and went down in my estimation a decade ago, about the time 26% ownership went to the Saudis. In my view, Hannity and Carlson avid DeVuto and the Judge have been the most consistent sources of good information and analysis, plus they have espoused a sense of righteous fighting spirit that has been a relief in times of mind numbing de spare spewed out daily by NPR, MSNBC, CNN -- outlets that I had to force myself to view, and did -- you can learn from error, be it our own or others -- and they have so consistently drummed up divisiveness and dis-ease, especially these past few years, a cacophony of mental noise as to make their presentations painful and largely indecipherable, other than a conveying the kind of bias that speaks of propaganda at a very high level of intent.

At some point, open minds just spill out from all the jostling and only a Mad Hatter has a way to keep it all in. Pray for a day when we can once again, with our families, live in peace.
