They attack Trump because it's good for the bottom dollar. Trump is a very controversial figure, and a lot of these media companies just placate to the large number of Americans who hate Trump, just as conservative media placates to those who love him. Anti-Trump material has shown to be ratings gold for shows like SNL (who were previously slumping in the ratings) and for guys like Stephen Colbert, who took the Late Night lead by being more anti-Trump than his contemporaries.

It's perfectly okay for entertainment/comedy shows to do this, but it's sad to see a "legit" news org like CNN fall into this trap. If you want to call yourself "the most trusted name in news", you need to be completely impartial.

Why does cancer get a bad rap? Why can't I find a single news article that will defend cancer? It's all the media's fault and has nothing to do with anything inherent to cancer. :evil:

The answer to your question goes very deep. I will try to explain it the best i can, despite for the fact that english is not my native language.





First you must understand the reason why neurotypical human beings appear to talk endlessly about nothing in the form of small talk. The reason is not that they enjoy talking endlessly about nothing - That would be foolish to think.

You see, human beings like to belong to groups. In ancient times, belonging to a group increased your survival rate subtantially! A group of human beings can only function if there is one collective beliefweb of ideas. Anyone who refuses to assimilate to the standards set by a group, or is unable to due to other differences will be eliminated.

When a human being starts to talk with another human being, they start to synchronise their beliefwebs to see if they are still in sync with the group. This is how religion form, cults form, culture is created, even different accents in language is created this way!

Reasons for elimination can be :
-Other beliefsweb and different value of importance on subjects.
-A different skin color
-Physical or mental disability

If you have ever been part of a local computer club, soccer club or whatever you most likely observed a strikingly similar pattern that is repeated pretty much throughout the history of human beings.

Lets say a new person wants to join a club. First everybody welcomes him and accepts him. Then after a few weeks or months, things slowly start to change because the new person is unable to fit into the group's culture. Then at a certain point, the 'alpha' of a group tries to force the new person to assimilate or said person is not welcome anymore.

This happens ALOT on a local level, but on the grand scheme of things - it happens in society all the time.
There are a few more dynamics that are worth the explanation. two dynamics that is extremely important in groups is gossiping and extermination

The reason why people gossip is not because they like to talk behind someone's back. On a subconcious level, people gossip for one of the below things :
-Detecting an abnormality in a group who poses a threat and will be exterminated
-Trying to create a new standard; a group within a group to overthrow the current 'alpha'.

In the Soviet Russia age, detecting, infiltrating and exterminating was the KGB's number 1 task. You now know why this task felt naturally to them - its in everybody's DNA!

And now the most important thing to know, and where society is heading!


In most of Western Europa and in northern americas, a flower of death has been seeded in the collective mind of society in the 60s. up until that point, we had natural 'erosion of a group's conciousness'. This is why older people long for younger days, because their culture and rituals were much different compared to 60 years later. This is where being 'conservative ' come from.

Anyway, the flower of death was seeded through the minds of intellectuals in the 60's on universities. This flower of death is called liberalism. The moment a collective group lowers their defence and gives space for other collective minds that strife for equality to grow, a country is doomed to enter civil war. This is a very natural proces and there is no such thing to feel sad about. Life is all about eat or get eaten.

Seeding the flower of death is also called 'demoralisation'. Demoralisation is a process that usually takes 15 to 20 years to educate 1 generation of students and to indoctrinate their collective minds. By the time generation 3 goes to school, generation 1 is now in top positions of the court system, media companies, congress etc. These people will push for social equality, anti racism and anyone who falls in the conservative category will be character assasinated. The most tragic thing about demoralisation is that these people no longer process true information that goes against their beliefs. It is like having a conversation with someone who beliefs in god and trying to prove with hard facts that god does not exist. He will refuse to believe it until it is too late.

What we are currently seeing is the second phase, destabilization. Destabilization is where you now have dozens of different 'groups' argueing, demonstrating, fighting, killing for their monopoly of truth. Since the current political establishment is now also contaminated (50/50) by this liberal movement, you have a situation where lethal force is no longer applied to anyone who wishes to overthrow the goverment, further giving motivation for groups to keep going.

The third phase is crisis. It can take less than 6 weeks to bring a country to crisis. A crisis can arrive from a defence oriented standpoint or a economical crisis. The moment when the economy collapses and people can no longer get food at the store, collective groups will now fight for survival. This is where you will start to see civil war. Sometimes the establishment desperatly tries to distract the revolutionairies by going to war, like in the French revolution

The last phase is normalisation. Normalisation is a very cynical word since it sounds nice and the typical 'sun will shine after the rain' but it is infact a political correct word for genocide. Normalisation will look like this :
-Either the current establishment will retain control
-The current establishment gets overthrown

A new standard is implemented. Anyone who does not agree with this new standard will be put against the wall and they will be shot. All those liberalistic idea's? gay rights and such? these people will be squashed like cockroaches, nobody will care about equal rights anymore.

This is why marxism (the fight for equality, doesnt matter which form it is!) will almost Always lead to dictatorship. The moment these people fighting for equality will overthrow the current establishment, they will then kill their subgroups that helped them overthrow the goverment to gain full power and implement a new standard.

If you are really interested in this, look up French revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution
Look up the night of the long knives in which NSDAP (Political branch of the SA/ hitler) killed off the SA leaders in nazi Germany the moment they gained control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives
Read up on how the soviet Union's weapon of idealogical subversion - the phases of demoralisation, destabilisation, crisis and normalisation was used against them and caused the destruction of the Soviet Union the moment they lowered their 'defences' and implemented a Multi political party system. It is now a famous conspiracy theory in Russia that former president Gorbachev who implemented this was a CIA agent.

I thought the answer is pretty simple:-

Because he's a deranged nutter, who shouldn't be let within 10 miles of the nuclear codes or any other responsibility.

I would be very careful with that statement, read my post above.

They're largely not biased, they're actually accurate. It is those who criticise the media and support Trump who have the heavy bias. Trump is a horrible, horrible man, with terrible policies, who has done immense damage to the United States and the world at large.

Obama rightly got criticised when he made mistakes, but overall he was a great man who helped America recover its former glory and turned it into a respectable country. He'll go down in history as one of the great presidents. It seems almost certain that Trump will go down even below William Henry Harrison. It isn't out of the question that he could turn his presidency around and achieve something, but it seems unlikely as he is incredibly unsuitable to the office. He's stupid, he has no vision, he is bigoted, he has no political nous, and he doesn't even realise how bad he is.

People right across the political spectrum agree that Trump is not a suitable president. Some people support him because they'd rather have a bad Republican than any Democrat (and before any Democrats sneer, I'm sure there are many in the Democrats who would rather have Bernie Sanders than George H.W. Bush). The only people who seriously support him are far-right. That suggests that it is the far-right who are not making a fair assessment.

The one thing that would make Trump melt down completely into frank narcissistic rage would be if the media totally ignored him. The coverage feeds his narcissistic attention needs, which are extreme even for a narcissist of his kind. In the extreme of a narcissistic rage there is no telling how far he would go to get back to being the centre of attention, so the coverage may well be keeping the world a safer place.

He will go down as the worst USA president ever, if the world is still populated after his presidency.

First, on political left and right.

Political left means :
Goverment takes care of the people
state owned companies
Socialism - 'everybody is equal' myth
closed to outsiders

Political right means,
People are responsible for their own actions and welfare
State believes in free market and only very few companies are owned by the goverment
capitalism - everybody is not equal
open society

This is the only correct description of left and right

And this is where it gets confusing, because the media has portayed anyone conservative as extreme right.
Extreme right is commonly associated with neo nazi groups.
Hitler was an socialist and thus extreme left.

But wowowhoooww? how can someone on the extreme left exterminate all jews? Well, first the hate for the jews was already part of the collective beliefweb he grew up in. Second, the backstab myth after the first world war and the dire economic situation created an extremely toxic situation that lead to a very similar process i described in my previous post.

Hitler's beliefweb has NOTHING to do with POLITICAL left or right.
After the second world war, most countries had political left-minded parties controlling the goverment. They were SHOCKED a socialistic mindset could lead to millions of death, thus they branded Hitler as extreme right.

I am not an trump supporter. Infact, i dont really care at all - i just observe patterns in society which i find fascinating.

My observation thus far ; there has NEVER been an extreme right movement, since extreme right would mean pro capitalism and a complete open society. Instead of that, all movements you currently see can be categorised as extreme left, since they all strife for a monopoly on the truth (goverment controls people) and try to normalise society by exterminating others who disagree with them. The only difference between those groups is their beliefweb.

Remember, this only works if you are honest with yourself

Hitler certainly didn't think everyone was equal, what you suggest is completely off the scale.

This is because socialism and its everybody is equal myth is a lie. What it actually means is : government has a monopoly on everything. Truth, education, companies, everything. Anyone with a different opinion or whom does not fit into the standard is eradicated. By eradicating i also mean, character assasination in the media in the case of trump

This is why marxism is a utopia for dreamers but never works in reality, since the lust for blood and domination is deeply encoded in our Dna.

America is in a state of war with its own society. Ant wars.

I believe societys Come and go, due to natural erosion of a collective mind, it is foolish to try to hang on the past. Christianty for example slowly faded away in most of Europa through out the centuries, it is foolish to think we must go back to that. However, religion does has it advantages. It can keep a society stable for hundreds of years due to the tendency to selfcontrol a society. This is why islam fascinates me, no other religion openly declares to kill infidels like that! However the way the New King of saudi arab wants a moderate islam with more rights to woman, it means the capital of islam is heading towards destruction aswell..

Longing for the old days like mister trump is not the way to go. However, keep in mind that the way society in europe and america has developed for the past 40 years is not natural erosion of a collective. It is going abnormally fast and the tone in the media is getting worse everyday. Something is steering us into a collapse of society. I do not vote, i observe.

Conservatives are like the ultimate hypocrites too, Christianity spread through the sword in europe in 600, destroying many tribes. Americans killed a whole bunch of natives too in their conquest, what right do they have when they speak about conserving their country?
