The Media Works Overtime to Widen the Political Divide at Your Expense

Discussion in 'Politics' started by FortuneTeller, Mar 14, 2021.

  1. My previous thread was titled:

    Lame Street Media Political News: A thread to remember the Lameness of it All | Elite Trader

    I have decided to upgrade the name of this thread to the title of this new thread. I am going to try and post articles targeted at both sides of the Political Aisle if I can find them. I encourage others to add what they deem to also be articles designed to piss off people from one side of the Political aisle at the other. We as people, need to understand what the hell is going on with this charade of monumental proportions. We do not need the Media to manipulate us so they can profit from it.

    One question is: Why does the Media do this? There are many answers to this. You can figure out the answers and discuss them if you want to. I will just continue to post articles, ect that I believe are designed and written to Widen The Divide at Your Expense.

    GOP Blasted for 'Shameful' Attempts to Claim Credit for COVID Relief (msn.com)

    good thread....

    I am watching Fauci headlines about Trump voters not taking the vaccine.
    Isn't it time to give the Trump thing a rest.

    There are people skeptical of anyone not producing science or data to support their claims.
    Many (not saying all) of those skeptics are educated and don't take their science advice from Trump.

    These vaccines are new "technology". Just understand that some people are going to be a bit skeptical for a while. Especially women who are in their child bearing years.

    Starting off by calling them Trump voters... is no way to persuade them. In fact to the contrary people realize that when establishment or lefty types attach "Trump" to a description they are trying to marginalize that group and they are isolating them and providing "code" or a "dog whistle" for part of the leftist base.

    If people like Fauci wants to be considered scientists and apolitical... if they wish to be persuasive they need to cease with the politics and bring facts and science only to the discussion.

    Here is the facts and science:
    • The COVID vaccines are safe and effective.
    • The only way to get back to normal life quickly is by vaccinating a high portion of our population.
    • Low vaccination rates will mean lockdowns and restrictions for a much longer period of time.
    • The biggest cohort of vaccine deniers in the U.S. are Trump supporters.
    • Trump supporters are regularly seen in the media making statements along the lines that COVID vaccine = Death.
    • Trump will not do a public ad campaign to urge his supporters to get the COVID vaccine.
    Bottom line: Trump and his supporters are the biggest blocker to the U.S. ending the COVID era and returning to normal life.

  5. Excuse me. Over 1600 people have died from the vaccine so far. It is not safe, no vaccines are.

    Maybe "Trump supporters"? are more intelligent? Being skeptical of anything new is smart.

    Trump is not President anymore. How do you expect him to make any public ad to "his supporters" to take the vaccine? Does he even have any influence over his so-called "Trump supporters"? Where did you get this from? The Openly Divisive Media?

    The Media is so manipulative, it's disgusting.

    1600 people have died from the vaccine? Complete nonsense. Provide your Citation. And not some bullshiat from a conspiracy site.

    Bullshiat and false claims about COVID vaccine deaths is why there is "vaccine hesitancy".

  8. I already put my citation on another thread. You look it up. Good luck if you take the vaccine, you are going to need it. The post I did was from a liberal TV station, not from a BS site like the Raw Story or whatnot.
