In reply to the discussion: Observation of one truth about Black voters... [View all]JustAnotherGen
(31,839 posts)44. We see through a media lie
Something perhaps many liberals/progressives who are NOT black need to understand -
All of our lives our media has parroted the lies told about us by Republicans. In some cases - they are lies they have generated on their own.
When you are the subject of the lie time and again, over and over - It is easier to see big lies when they happen. Certainly we have better reasons to not trust the media than those trying to get us believe new lies about Hillary Clinton.
They have done nothing but tell us lies about her for 25 years. On that note - in a GE they won't do anything but tell lies about Senator Sanders.
In the meantime they tell lies like Trump Is Legitimate. The reality is the lies they are supporting and telling for the Right in this election are dangerous - they put us in danger.

I am well aware what group this is and it is permissible to ask questions like I asked.

Does your research teach you that that is exactly why campaigns seek "name recognition"?
