Surprised there was no mention of the vast Soviet and other revolutionary marxist sponsored operations in the American media industry during the cold war. I could have missed it.

What we need is to train smarter kids to think critically and exhume the truth of matters from the graveyard of the media. Trust no one over 20 (and keep an eye on the younguns too) remains a good standard to go by.

The left knows how to work it. lie, steel, cheat, whatever it takes to win. If it didn't happen, " make it happen". Brown shirts anyone? Sub-humanizing certain groups to overtly get the masses to hate them. Gee, I wasn't around then, but Ive read they did it to certain minority groups, making them not fully human. But they are getting wise to the d party, and thier tricks. Read, Repent and Return, to The Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth...

Yeah, but it seems to me that you guys are pretty mainstream yourselves.

It's refreshing to see over a 100:1 ratio between thumbs-up and thumbs-down for content like this. We're making progress.

Those who trust the mainstream media could be called mm tards in the future. Mainstream media tard - or mm tard. An MM tard is a person who is so retarded, they keep believing everything the mainstream media says. Example: an author just published a book recently showing The American Statue of Liberty in front of a giant nuclear cloud, which looked as if somebody gave Her a peanut butter. The cover of the book advises people who have already been hit by a tactical nuclear weapon to do something to survive the next nuclear strike. Thanks for your video! Great presentation! Kind regards from Ásgeir in Iceland.

I clicked on this marathon only intending to watch the first video. I couldn't stop watching and got all the way to the end. Everything is so SPOT ON.

I'll never forget finding out that Walter Cronkite was a flaming liberal. I was shocked to the core. It was at that point that I came to realize just how deep the brainwashing had actually become. I learned not to trust anything the corporate media reported ever again.

Uhmmm Andrew Klavan's segment is in this twice...?
@unfuzzy Says:
as much as i appreciate messages like these, i can't help but point out that they are just as biased as the news organizations they rail against - just in the opposite direction. did you notice that they never take media outlets like fox news to task despite the fact they're as horrifically biased in their reporting as any of the organizations they talk about? why do you suppose that is?

The guy at the end is a repeat. But I see why, the point bears repeating.

Richard Helms, director and former director of the CIA, admitted to a congressional committee of operation mockingbird, a covert operation where many rich people, using discretion, would purchase as many media outlets as possible. This included radio and television stations, newspapers, no matter how small or large, periodicals and influence on the then ever emerging world wide web.
@jeffnelson9052 Says:
The mainstream media and big Tech has become one of the most dangerous and manipulative political forces in our world today! Not at all what the framers of the constitution had in mind when they delineated freedoms. These institutions want to use all these freedoms to their full extent while denying the freedoms to citizens.

I knew when the TV show Will and Grace was first beginning that I felt it was inappropriate for mainstreet TV, especially for children. I did not know until today how much it messed up the moral understanding of the country I love.

@PPISAFETY Says:
I knew most of what was contained in this marathon, but to be honest, had no idea who AJ+ was, since I do not get my "news" from social media. Further, although I lived and worked in Qatar immediately following Desert Storm I in the early 90's, I had no idea they were now so repressive in their views. When I lived there, and worked for their government, they projected the image of being a tolerant and reasonable Muslim country, at least to my face. About the only thing they asked of me was that if I purchased alcohol from their state-owned outlet, I keep it covered until I got home, where it could be consumed. Their attitudes toward women did seem rather regressive. At any rate I learned something from this marathon on that score. One wonders if they were supporting extremists at that time, and perhaps I was simply naive, or whether things fundamentally changed between my time there and now, given that they have had a different Emir since 2013. Any thoughts from anyone in a position to know?
@jima6545 Says:
Can we say the media was free? It seems to me, the internet provides one with means to fact check anyone.
@dannyhughes4889 Says:
26.45 into the Video Kassem speaks about Qatar's influence on Media. The 'pull no punches' Israeli Arabist Dr. Mordechai Kedar in a YouTube Video claims that Al-Jazeera [owned and controlled by Qatar] actually stage managers and Videos LIVE events in conjunction with terror organizations that are operating all over the World but especially in the Middle East. Cameras are in place and rolling as car bombs are activated [as was the horrific case in Iraq] exactly on time and as orchestrated so as to broadcast the atrocities LIVE to followers to enjoy with their coffee and as a result A-J was thrown out of Iraq. He also mentioned how Al -Jazeera used him to divert attention when Hamas was intent on moving apparently very secretive/critical armaments inside Gaza City and didn't want it to be attacked from the air by Israel. A-J interviewed him LIVE and didn't show his face but kept cameras on Gaza so that any attack by Israel would be screened to the World in real time for all the Ant-Semites, Anti-Israel and bleeding heart Leftists to condemn as an attack on innocent civilians. A-J has since been banned from operating from offices in Israel.

@louisfinley4631 Says:
wow. way to go judith. i know that must have been hard for you since i also know you lean left yourself. i give you full kudos for exposing what most of us already knew but couldnt prove. its simple, people with such strong political opinions should not strive to become reporters. i was totally shocked when lester holt told up and coming reporters to be more biased instead of less. with that attitude this problem isnt going anywhere for a long while.
@desertdrifterz Says:
I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s … the difference now … is like night and day. I have to watch news from ALL sources accross many countries to get to anything near the truth. I find out more about the US from other countries. That is ridiculous. What I end up with.. is that I need to look locally and actually SEE what is happening rather than believe anything I read or hear or.. depend on friends who live in other states and countries who SEE what is happening. So.. we have de-evolved into an old fashioned way of getting to what is actually real. Technology is not even helpful.. I depend on the Paul Revere type information highway 🙄

@frankrees3120 Says:
Trump/Russian Collusion was an attempted Sedition of the President, his Administration, and the Office of President of the United States! Clinton, was the Ringleader of this act of SADITION.
@frankrees3120 Says:
Again it's time to turn the tables on the Lying Childish Media using the rules on Harassement as described in the Sexual Harassement Program. Oh also it's Illegal to harrass a Federal Employee such as Mr Trump and the people in his Administration such as his Press Secretary. Matter of fact it is a Felony to Harass, Threaten, Intimidate, or Attack a Federal Employee. Also you cannot use your Government Job to enhance, favor, or carry out actions you personnel %like or don't like. FBI OR IS IT DBI, WHERE ARE YOU NOT SEEING THESE ACTION? Obviously this behavior also goes on there too. So we're is the FBI'S INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION TO INVESTIGATE & STOP THESE ACTIONS? BET IT'S NOT WRITEN ON THEIR FEDERAL JOB DISCRIPTION!!! AMERICA, STUCK ON STUPID!
@frankrees3120 Says:
The fix for this is to implement the part of the Sexual Harassement Program that everyone forgot about. The Program States for the Sexual Harassement Program NO HARRASSEMENT WILL BE TOLERATED IN THE IN THE WORKPLACE. THIS INCLUDES MALE OR FEMALE/SEXUAL OR NON-SEXUAL. WHAT THIS MEANS IS WITH FAKE NEWS REPEATABLY FAKING/LIEING FAKE NEWS ON A PERSON THAT IS AT WORK (NATURALLY THE MEDIA ARE AT WORK WHILE SPREADING THEIR LIES). WELL SAY MR TRUMP, AT WORK 24/7 AS PRESIDENT, WITH ANYWHERE BEING THE WORKPLACE). WHICH MEANS MR TRUMP WHILE PRESIDENT HAD THIS TYPE BEHAVIOR DONE ON HIM TO TO STOP HIM FROM DOING HIS JOB. HE HAS THE ABILITY TO SUE EVERY MEDIA OWNER, EDITOR, ANNOUNCER, EMPLOYEES INVOLVED IN BROADCASTE. WHAT'S REALLY CRAZY IS MEDIA KNOW IT ALLS, FILMED, & BROADCASTE ALL THIS, WITH RETRIEVABLE RECORDINGS. But other actions against the Media would be to determine whom is the PRESS (who report news without skewing it), and whom is a Tabloid, making up fake news & reporting it). Stop taking this Liberal nonesense go on the Offense, financial devastating the Media, for there lies. Rember what Ronnie said: LIBERALS, KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE JUST NOT SO!!
@irishpolish80 Says:
"Fact checkers" the social media tool, is propaganda perfected.
@irishpolish80 Says:
The media is an extremely powerful tool that can be used to manipulate the entire culture. People don't realize just how insidious media bias can be! Media bias can swing elections, as made obvious in 2020. Today, journalists are just political ideologues, and journalism is just left wing activism. Modern media coverage of a black man, murdered by a white man: "A community is in morning, as residents learn that an innocent black father was ruthlessly gunned down by vicious white racist. The Mayor plans to talk to community leaders about systemic racism." Modern media coverage of a white man killed by a black man: "Man found dead."
@Brett235 Says:
I quit believing the media when Bush Jr. was president. They were so biased against him, although he deserved a lot of the crap they were throwing at him. It got worse with Obama. I could literally see things he was doing and hear the things he was saying and how wrong it was but the media praised everything he did. Then came Trump and I had to turn it off. I don't care for everything Trump said or did but the media portrayed him as the new Hitler and nothing positive he did was shown and they twisted everything he said. I have no faith in the corporate media.

@WayneBraack Says:
It wouldn't violate free speech if we just made laws and got every state to go along with it saved through the governors in their annual meetings pitched in the idea that it is now required to be truthful and unbiased in the distribution of news. Just simply make it illegal not to be. I can still say whatever you want but if it's opinion you must clearly label it unsubstantiated opinion. And if you're giving any kind of commentary of fact-based reporting on any topic you must do so with straightforward unaltered facts you must give all the known facts omitting nothing present all sides and let the viewers decide. Discovered some way to get rid of the inherent biased BS that our news has become.
@killerqueenspeedrun Says:
Instead of mainstream media, trust a propaganda outlet funded by billionaires who have absolutely no biases or ulterior motives ;)
@alphaomega1089 Says:
Brown was wrongfully killed. That speaker can be legally lynched or enslaved. Doesn't make it right. Even Wilson admitted ego got in the way to a friend. Why was there no mention of the shoplifting evidence. He was innocent of said crime. He was unlawfully detained. Suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Not by the police. This was a self defense issue. If someone shoots me: I'd turn and defend myself. If someone tries to draw their weapon: I'd strike them or try and disarm. Saw a police officer draw his weapon on a doctor because he beeped his horn and startled him while dozing. Orders by a gun is no different than a street mugger! You comply or fight!
@darkisland04 Says:
It's time to turn away enmasse from the lamestream media. It's time to dump the concerts, movies, and products of all those glitsy celebs who are trying to denegrate us and destroy our country. They should be packed on a plane or a ship and sent to wherever they want to go. And then they should be stripped of their citizenship and never allowed to return.
