Optics matter

I have no doubt that the editors used pictures that made those guys look bad as possible, and are probably still laughing about how little work they had to do to get those shots. "We're gonna be in a article? Whip off your shirt Buck, let's give 'em a show!"

That's my point, they probably thought the Missouri "activists" looked too normal... so they hunted for the most radical group they could find in recent news- I'm not surprised they chose pics of the Open Carry Texas guys, they're really aggressive and kinda whacky.

I don't agree with all of their tactics, many gun owners don't.

I read the Reuters article, looked at the pics, and skimmed the video [no audio].
The article talked about Missouri, Texas, and Idaho, but all the pics/video were only from Texas.

Click Bait. What 110% of the media relies on, for you the public to click on. If it can show R leaning, gun toting, religious people in a negative light it runs for days.
Look for the blip about the CNN reporter who years ago called them fags , not wanting to room with a lesbian. The media blew it off (rather quickly) as a youthful indiscretion. YET literally called for storming the Bastille, over allegations from 3+ decades about Bret Kavanaugh.


A station down here threw in, Judge Kavanaugh was sworn in after an investigation of alleged allegations of sexual assault. That's it.

So i emailed them to mention maybe next story on the Judge, after alleged allegations of sexual assault they include were found to be untrue. To show there's no media bias, of course

Way more interesting conversation...

In my opinion, MOA proponents have done nothing to win over the MIL crowd, what with their condescending math and hard data — where’s the heartfelt pleas? Both sides forget the common plex and BDC man.

Anyway, this was in leg and pol, so I guessed it wasn’t going to be another same-Philippine-factory-different-branding thread.

Media is dying and the young generation of "narrative shapers" who openly replace facts with Lib narrative are only going to hurt it more.

Stop caring about media. Start caring about direct and peripheral relationships with human beings. In real life and socials.

Notice the major dips in recent memory are when the media (DNC Propagandists) went all-in destroying a GOP President. Otherwise the trendline is steady decline.

Even if media could convince 100% of the 41% who currently have a general level of trust, they will fail to obtain a plurality on any issue/politician.

And these polls almost always oversample Libs.

These groups have become increasingly active in promoting a pro-gun agenda in many states, unafraid of alienating lawmakers who waver on gun rights. In many cases, they say they would rather lose a legislative fight on principle than compromise and support a watered-down bill.

The presstitute is admitting here that the oligarchy doesn't obey the people, that the push for these rights is grassroots ("MUH DEMOCRACY!"), and the piece is nothing but a smear against common people.

Rinse, repeat, on multiple issues. What kind of impact do these optics have when everyone's ox has been gored at some point by these propagandists?

At least he didn't redirect us to his website!

The problem with the media, is the media. When you see (on a daily basis) hit pieces about Trump, R's, SCOTUS, bias this, racist that. Then look past the click bait headline to see who twittered the story. 99.9% of the time it's not even a known journalist. The "writer" is someone from Yahoo Styles, Esquire's glamour or better yet the wapo society section. WTF cares what some society douche says about anyone, at all.

There is a TON of this! Along with "anonymous sources" and "as reported in" which leads to nothingness.

I think people are catching on. It's easy to hate Trump, or any Republican, but then the statists move in on something important to you and facts/rational conversations are gone all so they can make "progress."
