The multiple posts about the Supreme Court in the politics thread

Ok, what did I get wrong?

Images are far more powerful politically than anything else IMO.

Why the HELL is FNC not featuring Video from the Boarder on EVERY SHOW they have? Fox News is the only conservative "visual media" source that can effectively go up against the Big 3 and their cable news allies.

I say open every Prime Time show on FNC with LIVE VIDEO from the Boarder. Then have it continue with screen on screen throughout the show. Go even further and have LIVE video of the Big City homeless disaster every night.

Conservative take radio has very significant influence, even with Rush gone, but no visuals severely hampers them, when going up against the massive propaganda wing of the Democratic Party.

I truly believe there is a large percentage of older, traditional center left, voters that have had enough of this Progressive/Socialist experiment. IF exposed to a constant VIDEO stream of the above nightmares the Democrat Party has created, there will be a huge block of registered Dem voters cast their ballots for Republicans.

These stunts by Republican governors are built on the false idea that the migrants are in the country illegally. Technically, those on the buses and planes are asylum-seekers who have been processed by federal immigration authorities and are awaiting court dates.

It's a tough problem. Most of the people are obviously seeking work or fleeing political unrest. Many have walked for hundreds of miles.
No good answer seems apparent.

What's sort of humorous, is that DeSantis was obviously worried about being out-done by Abbott. So, he takes Florida taxpayer dollars, hires a couple planes, sends them to Texas to pick up 50 asylum seekers, and flies them to Martha's Vineyard. I assume the people in Florida are happy with his little stunt.

The Biden admin has been flying them all over the country (just not where TX and FL are sending them) for about a year now. The media just hasn’t covered it. Why this is being done by these Govs is to make Dems live up to their sanctimonious sanctuary city virtue signaling.

I think most everyone says "no shit" because it is just plain fact.......and has been for way too long.

Can any argument be made that the MSM construct is NOT a propaganda wing of the Democratic party? Are they not pushing the "Fundamentally Transform America" agenda that the Dems clearly embrace?

Then you have Fox News and conservative talk radio doing the same crap. Total political bias.

There must be some gradual return to traditional journalism and straight news. This blatant parroting of political narrative is simply a National cancer. Opinion media is the most corrosive IMO.

The juxtaposition of these two posts is an absolute masterclass in unintended irony. Decrying the death of unbiased journalism while 8 posts later complaining that conservative media isn't propagandizing the 'Boarder' effectively enough. Sandwiched in between is a bunch of complaining about 'kids these days'. Chef's kiss.

BYU's student newspaper showed that journalism isn't dead. Granted, they had to walk over the corpses of the NY Times, WAPO and ESPN to do so.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Bringing "as it happens" video to the American people would be the epitome of unbiased journalism. The American people deserve to see with their own eyes, ESPECIALLY as it pertains to the unprecedented current shit show at our boarder. Real time images never lie.

Sorry the optics would be devastating to the Party responsible.

This is a perfect example for this thread. You rarely hear this (if at all) when they report on what border states are doing. If they did, that would shoot a big hole in the human trafficking narrative.

BTW, looks like the hospitality has ended in MV. Just bused them off the island. Of course now it’s called “voluntarily”.

That is an interesting point. It could be argued that instead of spouting talking points and salacious headlines, Fox should actually go down to the border and show what it really going on.

At what point does information transform into propaganda? Context? Selective visuals? Juxtaposition?
