Media Bias in Favor of the Elite Class * 2
    #26476863 - 02/09/20 11:55 AM (3 years, 11 months ago)

This thread is dedicated to examples of media bias and propaganda on behalf of the elite class. I was rabbit-holing my way through youtube, when I ran across this tasty nugget.

In this clip, MSNBC is frantically trying to sensor Nina Turner, and make her change her language, when speaking about 'Oligarchs'. I don't know that there is a better example of an Oligarch than someone like Mike Bloomberg. A man worth Billions, upon Billions of dollars, who is running for the President of the United States. Donald Trump is another example.

Oligarchs are the small number of very powerful people that control our economy, and our politics. When they hold political office, they are more powerful than regular elected officials, because they have more money and influence. Oligarchs are the unelected board members of Citi and Chase bank, which write our tax code.

It's pretty cut and dry. Watch the media scramble to muddy up the issue, and watch Nina Turner, confidently shut them down. Then they go on to change the issue to how terrible Donald Trump is, after cutting her off.




This election isn't about Democrats and Republicans. It's about class warfare. These folks want us to hate Donald Trump, and focus on that, but that is not, and must not be, our focus!

I couldn't agree more!

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

I just wanted to make a thread, where we could observe these things, as they happen.

It's hilarious to see a panel, so incredibly sensitive, over the word 'Oligarch', that their heads begin to spin like a top, and they can't even grasp what she is saying beyond that point.

We're not allowed to talk class warfare in this country, but we are very much engaged in it. Talk about 'double-think'. I've been watching some Chomsky videos today. I have to say, I fucking love Chomsky! He really hits the nail on the head. I love watching Chomsky and Hitchens do debates. They are both great!

Chomsky really sums up the relationship between the media, and the elite very well. I should dig up some clips. I've been watching hour long videos..

noun
noun: oligarch; plural noun: oligarchs

2.
(especially in Russia) a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence.




That's why I haven't hardly watched TV or any MSM for 20 years now.  It's not communication.  Its manipulation.  That's what the MSM is.  It is a brainwashing device designed to control public opinion.

I don't know what the solution is.  How do you make it stop?  In the old days oligarchs/aristocrats could call on state violence to control the population.  Now they brainwash the population instead. 

So, what happened there in that clip?  Bernie is worth what?  About 2-3 million after a successful career spanning several decades, and they are trying to equate that with Micheal Bloomberg's 50 billion or something. 

Well, if Bernie came to be worth 3 million after a successful 50 year career, at that rate he'd reach Micheal Bloomberg's level of wealth in 833,000 years or so.

:thatsaten:

Damn.

You said it, brother :toast:

The point of the video was to show how sensitive the MSM is to the word 'oligarch'. There are a few subjects that they get real uneasy about, and those are: Anything anti-war, and anything that deals with class conflict. Those two, specifically. Everything else is fine.

Nina Turner laid it down though. Props that that badass bitch! I love Nina!

MSMedia: We hate oligarchs!

US people: Aren't you owned by oligarchs?

Here's my contribution to this thread.  This one really really rattled my cage.  It's a bit old now but it's still relevant.

Check the video embedded in the article.  It could have been from a 'The Simpsons' script, something Mr. Burns would say, you know how they do that style of parody humour or whatever it's called?  Except it's supposed to be serious discussion on Canada's national broadcaster.

That the 85 richest have more wealth than the 3.5 billion poorest is 'fantastic news' to reality TV star O'Leary\

The wealth inequality discussion begins at 0:25

Wow. That's fucking gross. I have already seen the video, apparently. It started at the end of the clip lol.

not sure if you saw the thread or not
but there are a variety of examples of how the elite ownership of media controls what content is put out
