The mass media is basically propaganda. It is a tool of global corporations and the interests of their owners to influence public policy and elections. Currently the corporate media is just involved in spin and propaganda. How dishonest is the media, well we know that Donna Brazile, the head of the DNC, gave debate questions to Hillary Clinton while working for CNN. and that other reporters asked Clinton's people if they wanted to edit or change their stories. While that is not illegal, it is certainly dishonest and is a form of election tampering; but, nobody seems to care.
The Trump Russia Connection - Corporatists Politicians on the left are attempting to claim that there was improper collusion between Trump and Putin. The media claims that if Trump's team ever spoke to anyone to Russia some law was violated. This is simply not true. The truth is that politicians regularly meet with foreign officials. I personally have met with government representatives from China, Israel, Singapore and other nations while working for the government. The media often discusses how "Russia hacked the election without ever defining hacking. Lets talk about that for a minute.
The term hacking is when you go online and "hack" into someone else's account. To hack an election would therefore be to hack the voting machines and according to the 50 states involved and our intelligence agencies, NO voting machines were hacked. This was further evidenced by the recounts which found no hacking. What does this mean, it means the election was NOT hacked. Now some have claimed that because RT (Russia's version of BBC America) spoke positively about Trump as compared to Clinton that this somehow was illegal or improper. IT IS NOT. In fact the BBC did the opposite, disparaging Trump and praising Clinton. Foreign countries have concerns over American policies.
Another approach the media has taken is to claim that Trump has a Russia connection because he sold units in his building to Russians. What a shock. People from all over the world bought properties in Trump's properties. That is how developers make their money, by selling properties and that is also not illegal or suspicious. The truth is that Trump has NO properties in Russia.
The whole narrative is garbage. As for claims that Russia hacked the DNC servers, also garbage. Lets start with the fact that the DNC has refused to turn over their servers to the FBI to even be examined. This is an important point, how can the media make claims without any proof only the self serving statements by a company that worked for the DNC?
Did Obama Wiretap Trump Tower? - So President Trump tweeted that Obama had Trump tower wiretapped. The media prefers to play verbiage games rather than address the issue. Lets start with this point, after the election President Obama came out and instructed the intelligence agencies to investigate any Trump Russia connections and any Russian influence on the election. He also stated he wanted the report prior to his leaving office.
Many in the media have claimed that Trump was not "wiretapped" and while this is technically true it is also insincere. Phones are not technically "wiretapped" this is because cell phones are instead intercepted as they are transmitted over the airwaves and are not carried over physical telephone lines anymore.
So what do we now know. We know that conversations inside Trump Tower were recorded by the government under Obama. We know that there are transcripts and recordings of some of those conversations and we know that it is illegal to record said conversations without a warrant or permission from a FISA court. The defense used by the media to this is to say that the recordings were "incidental" to other investigations. Huh? We committed surveillance illegally on Americans in America; but, it was an accident. That is patently stupid. It also came out today that Trump himself was recorded during this surveillance; but, again that seems to have been another accident. Who buys this garbage?
Whether you like Trump or hate him, we should not accept what the media spins. I will say it again. Six companies own 90% of all the mas media in the United States. We do not have an independent media, we have a corporate controlled media that is globalist and represents globalist rather than American interests. We need to break up the big media giants using anti-trust laws so that a variety of voices can be heard.
