Yes, absolutely. We have been able to invent some terms and labels to use against them, such as 'cultural Marxism'. We need to do more of that, and to stop using the labels and definitions that the create. It gives them power over us.
The Left took over the media a century ago. The culture war was lost, however as Ireland, Sri Lanka , even spots of England show there’s another way of imposing reality.
True. Or even earlier, around 1890, when national brands and big daily newspapers were maturing, and the brand ads could fund the big newspapers. Coincidentally, at the time when Euro-Communism was invading America.
"time to stop talking"
Or time to stop sniveling and talk about what we are going to do to win. What it will really take?
Even as the USA begins to come to its senses about the DEI scam and the COVID scam and the vaccine scam and the up-coming monkey flu scam and the November elections, it appears the Dems have taken a clue from President Trump. Their consistent use of the word "weird" (in all speeches and in all news reports on ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, NPR, and PBS) will probably continue to be used to attack Trump and Vance.
The November election is Kamala's to lose. It is important for the Democrats that she never be allowed to answer questions or to speak without teleprompters.
The Marxist/Islamist/BLM assault on our nation will not be stopped as long as there are more people living off the government than paying taxes.
We all know, and have known for decades, that the media is controlled by the left. This isn't new.
We know and have known that the left manipulates language, the right cowers in fear that someone will label them some -ist, or -phobic, as if it were true or actually damning.
We have know for decades the plan has always been to capitalize their profits and socialize their losses.
We have know for decades that the plan is to send us into a debt spiral that will transport us back to feudal medieval times, lowly peasants, lorded over by a small uber rich elite.
So again, what was the point of this post. It seems to only reiterate the obvious, that we are blindly stumbling through the fight of our lives.
After thinking about it, I've decided that you're right. Those four things on your list are obvious truths (although I suspect that "we all know" those things well or completely agree about them is unfortunately a bit of an overstatement).
It’s time to write about those four things only in the context of what comes next.
Sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, there was an effort by a US Senator, I think in the 1980s, to buy enough shares in CBS to control it and its news department. Is that what you're referring to?
That, and Garrison Keilor's sendup of the event on "A Prarie Home Companion."
Also, CBS seems to be the optimal network for such a takeover. It was The Tiffany Network back in the day. I'd go full on nostalgia. Bring back some rural humor and tame family friendly sitcoms. And I'd find a news reader who looks
and sounds a bit like Walter Cronkite. Dial back the drama and deliver "That's the way it is." We don't need another Republican propaganda channel. We need a news service with gravitas which includes facts inconvenient to the Democrats as part of the mix.
We could win. The left’s monopoly control of the mass media has made them dependent on it. Lazy. Their "ideas" are garbage. If we take away that monopoly, we could defeat them. They use lies as weapons. We could use the truth as weapons. The truth is stronger.
First, we would need to understand how the leftist control of the media works and how they use it. It isn't obvious. We may think we know how their system works, but we don't. However, if we do, we can use that knowledge to turn the tables on them. The left control of the mass media could go from being their only superpower to being the source of their destruction.
I'm afraid it's out of our hands in that there are only two choices... Surrender and lose our freedom. Fight and lose our lives.
If we surrender we can live our lives as the Chinese, the Russians, the Venezuelans, the Cubans or even the French do...in the pod and controlled.
If we fight them we must face the mercenaries that have been transported into our towns and cities. If we win that fight we will be labelled far right terrorists and face the police and National Guard. If we win that fight we will face the military. If we win that fight we will have won freedom for our children and grandchildren.
If the vote goes to President Trump Raskin has made it known we will have to fight these forces. If President Trump wins up and down the ticket then we have a chance.
Yes. Out of our hands. We had the vote at midnight in 2020...at 3 pm we didn't. In 2024 the uni party is still trying to imprison the President. Raskin saying that the President's victory will bring civil war. Throw in cnn, mslsd, washington post, new york slime. The fbi/cia/doj/irs/and remember convicted felons can't vote. How many of the President's supporters have been found guilty.
So we just sit around and chat on Substack? Why does everything have to be about voting? Do you have FEET? A VOICE? I think Americans are trained to be CHILDREN and… do as we’re told. I think that’s very, very dangerous. You seem to have a need to be OBEDIENT.
Yeah.. exactly. That weaponization of words. But in everything..Truth will always prevail💪
Stop using their terms
Yes, absolutely. We have been able to invent some terms and labels to use against them, such as 'cultural Marxism'. We need to do more of that, and to stop using the labels and definitions that the create. It gives them power over us.

Great commentary. Philip K. Dick's quote is exactly right. For all of time.
The Left took over the media a century ago. The culture war was lost, however as Ireland, Sri Lanka , even spots of England show there’s another way of imposing reality.
Also all that remains.
Ultima Ratio - time to stop talking.
"The Left took over the media a century ago."

New poll today has Kamala up eight points nationally.
They’ve won. It worked.
LOL

America is toast.
You're getting most of it right, except that you're not seeing the manipulation.
It's NOT "leftist v. rightist" at all.
This is much bigger than that. This is Globalists v. The People.
This is DIVIDE AND CONQUER.
THIS IS HOW TYRANNY COMES DOWN.
What if the Globalists are the left, and We The People are the right?
WE are both. THEY manipulate us. BOTH SIDES.
Remember: Divide and Conquer, Lies, Fakery, Fuckery... These are the tactics.
Eyes wide open and radar on HIGH ALERT.
You are exactly right about the manipulation of words... It's the devil's oldest trick!
I have to ask, what was the point of this post?
We all know, and have known for decades, that the media is controlled by the left. This isn't new.

OK, OK. I'll buy CBS tomorrow...
Or get ready to sell the market short or buy put options.
I didn't mean a few shares of CBS. I mean hostile takeover.
That's the kind of thing your article is calling for. Right?
Sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, there was an effort by a US Senator, I think in the 1980s, to buy enough shares in CBS to control it and its news department. Is that what you're referring to?

But I lack the budget...
Got it.
Now what do we do ?
We could win. The left’s monopoly control of the mass media has made them dependent on it. Lazy. Their "ideas" are garbage. If we take away that monopoly, we could defeat them. They use lies as weapons. We could use the truth as weapons. The truth is stronger.

Shut down the fucking govt. and fix our country.
I'm afraid it's out of our hands in that there are only two choices... Surrender and lose our freedom. Fight and lose our lives.
If we surrender we can live our lives as the Chinese, the Russians, the Venezuelans, the Cubans or even the French do...in the pod and controlled.

OUT OF OUR HANDS????????????
That's the problem right there.
Yes. Out of our hands. We had the vote at midnight in 2020...at 3 pm we didn't. In 2024 the uni party is still trying to imprison the President.
