How Long Can The Cable News Shows Continue To Rehash The Same Crap & Ask The Same Questions....

over and over again - about the same stories - trying hard to reword the questions - and ask them differently - so the talking heads they employ can get a chance to blow hot air and answer them slightly differently - so it looks like they are really doing us a service?

They have gone beyond 'news'. This constant barrage of the same - now borders on 'brainwashing' the American People. It is no longer news.

Hour after hour. Day after day. Week after week. Month after month. We are being brainwashed.

The latest 'in' topic is now is how - the midterms always go against the Party in power and that the Dems will lose the House and everything that's been accomplished will be reversed again.

The more and more that these cable news shows keep this talking point up - the more and more the American People become conditioned to believe it. We are being brainwashed to accept 'the end to our democracy'. It is happening right before our eyes. Blatantly. And we see nothing being done to stop that from happening. So when it ultimately happens - we won't be surprised and we'll be accepting.

Some people will decide to give up and just not vote in the midterms. Others will just go along with the talking points and vote for the other Party because that is what is believed of them to do.

People. People. We must get smarter out there and realize what they are trying to do to us. We need to prove them wrong.

Turn. It. Off. They operate on a 24/7 " news" cycle and have to keep churning or die. You don't. nt Hekate Jan 2022 #6

I normally catch a little of NY's ABC news in the morning, a little of morning joe if they have an interesting person on, and turn on Joe Madison on Urban Radio for my commute.

Listen to Ari on the way home or Rev Al's radio show on Urban Radio.

15/20 minutes of Rachel in the evening. At the top of the show. That's it.

I also watch Jonathan Capehart on Sunday mornings.
