Also democrats may have pushed Americans on democrats support for lgtbq , which as we see now with the jaguar commercial people are proudly voicing thier opinions

That combined with perceived media bullying .

Indeed, as you mentioned, they did criticize and attacked Trump. Do you think the media should be allowed to craft their own stories, or should they solely focus on reporting news based on facts and not their opinions?

The oroblem is anything with a bad foundation crumbles instead . Thomas Jefferson and his wild and lavish parties with the beginning of the press sealed the press fate

And your asking the wrong question . The press always has to be right to be anything of substance, it’s bad foundation and mr Jefferson sealed its fate though in the end

The news media initially focused on reporting the news as it unfolded in an unbiased manner, but over time it transitioned to becoming opinionated, influenced by personal feelings.

Once the news media started becoming political, that’s when you began to see both left and right-leaning media outlets emerge.

The 6 Companies That Own (Almost) All Media

In modern America, it feels like you have an unlimited variety of entertainment and media options right at your fingertips.

Television, film, and video game companies seem to come out of the woodwork in today’s startup-centric economy. Who knows what they’ll do next? But while it may seem like you have limitless options, most of the media you consume is owned by one of six companies.

These six media companies are known as The Big 6.

While independent media outlets still exist (and there are a lot of them), the major outlets are almost all owned by these six conglomerates. To be clear, “media” in this context does not refer just to news outlets — it refers to any medium that controls the distribution of information. So here, “media” includes 24-hour news stations, newspapers, publishing houses, Internet utilities, and even video game developers.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at each of The Big 6, who control them, and what they own.

The parties were different in those times.

The Republicans were characterized by their anti-slavery beliefs and focus on industrialization, and as such, they were primarily concentrated in the North.

These beliefs were considered “progressive” for the time, as they advocated for social reforms, such as full rights and citizenship for African-Americans, and for a greater focus on industry than the South’s method of agriculture, as well as a more active, powerful federal government.

By contrast, the Democrats were prevalent in the South and held “conservative” viewpoints, meaning they sought to uphold tradition and the current status quo of slavery remaining an institution and the federal government having little interference with the state governments.

Prior to the Election of 1860, many Southern states threatened secession if the Republican candidate, Abraham Lincoln won, fearing he would abolish slavery.

Eventually Lincoln emerged victorious and the states of South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina all officially broke away from the United States to form the Confederate States of America, kickstarting the Civil War.

Your going to far back Lincoln freed the slaves in a nutshell . Fast forward many years and mr Hoover got frightened by Martin Luther king . He organized a switch of parties blacks would support democrats , undermining thier republican led freedoms from slavery again and again we go back to foundations becoming undone. But Hoover did it convinced black people not to vote for whom freed them ultimately undoing Luther’s work , and paving a way for a government that can hide it’s mistakes and truly proving the will of the people can be changed ,

Disaster. Trump and his team lack the fundamental skills and education to get what they need across the line. Given much of what they preached was fiction following through in any meaningful way on much of it is impossible. The Democrats fought an awful campaign, but still alarming that it played out like this. I will avoid for a few years and hope that they don’t cause too many damaging ripples in Europe.

A few Republicans are pondering with mild concern, as they should be.
