The Brainwashing of My Dad

The shocking truth behind the media that changed a father -- and divided the nation!

[thebrainwashingofmydad]

I just started a page where I compare daily headlines from both liberal and conservative media outlets -- any tips on how to grow my site and gain followers?

Are you asking me? Gee I don’t know. I grew followers by having a Facebook page, talking about it all the time, getting on Twitter and following others and mentioning it to everyone I know. I am really not very good at this sort of thing. Getting a social media student to help is what I would try.What you are doing sounds like a very worthy idea. I wish you lots of luck.

Are we reading too much news?

We’re trapped in a warp speed news cycle that can be overwhelming, and exhausting. Maybe we should be on a bit of a news diet.

What up with Netflix? Won’t tell us why they rejected TBOMD. It’s in good company though with the likes of SHADOWS OF LIBERTY or ALL GOVERNMENTS LIE.

When Trump says things ‘didn’t happen’ that are literally *on tape happening,* news outlets should point out that they did, in fact, happen. It’s unreal that we even have to say this.

Fake News Is Not the Real Media Threat We’re Facing

From all the recent hand-wringing about “fake news,” you would think that the hand-wringers had never stood in a supermarket checkout line, surrounded by 72-point headlines about alien abductions and miracle cures.

TAKE THE MEDIA TO TASK:

LAST WEEK IN REVIEW:

1. Trump fires all Ambassadors and Special Envoys, ordering them out by inauguration day.

2. House brings back the Holman rule allowing them to reduce an individual civil service, SES positions, or political appointee's salary to $1, effectively firing them by amendment to any piece of legislation. We now know why they wanted names and positions of people in Energy and State.

3. Senate schedules 6 simultaneous hearings on cabinet nominees and triple-books those hearings with trump's first press conference in months and an ACA budget vote, effectively preventing any concentrated coverage or protest.

4. House GOP expressly forbids the Congressional Budget Office from reporting or tracking ANY costs related to the repeal of the ACA.

5. Trump continues to throw the intelligence community under the bus to protect Putin, despite the growing mountain of evidence that the Russians deliberately interfered in our election.

6. Trump breaks a central campaign promise to make Mexico pay for the wall by asking Congress (in other words, us, the taxpayers) to pay for it.

7. Trump threatens Toyota over a new plant that was never coming to the US nor will take jobs out of the US.

8. House passes the REINS act, giving them veto power over any rules enacted by any federal agency or department--for example, FDA or EPA bans a drug or pesticide, Congress can overrule based on lobbyists not science. Don't like that endangered species designation, Congress kills it.

We - progressive, liberal, libertarian and conservative - need to all wake up to what is actually happening to our beloved country.

Director Jen Senko was interviewed for the MY HERO Project! Check it out!

“In her second documentary feature, Jen Senko analyzes the rise of right wing media through her relationship with her father, who became "unreachable" after he started to listen to right-wing radio and watch Fox News avidly. Jen shares her experiences making of the film through Kickstarter, where her project got the attention of Emmy Award-nominated actor Matthew Modine, who ended up narrating the film and co-producing it with his production company, Cinco Dedos Peliculas. Jen talks about getting interview subjects to help explain what happened to her father, and how we got to today's divisive media landscape.”

And USA Today, which has “never taken sides” in a presidential race before, declared Trump “unfit for the presidency” in an editorial this morning.

Don’t Be Fooled By The Republicans’ Call To Reinstate Glass-Steagall

The Republican Party platform calls for reinstating Glass-Steagall but spends most of its time trashing financial reform.

Republicans made some news with the release of their party platform on Monday: the new document contains a call to reinstate a Depression-era law that cracked down on banks, whose repeal has often been blamed for Wall Street’s growth and recklessness in the lead up to the recession. But that line is still overshadowed by many other calls in the document — and from the party’s candidate himself — to undo financial regulations aimed at keeping bank behavior in line.
