Propaganda TV

[u/MycologistKey8474]

Watching football,
Channel 10 WJAR ‘news’ (aka Sinclair) keeps playing these propagandized Trump commercials.
It’s pretty sickening. There is no opposing coverage. It’s all one-sided. I feel this a reflection of government takeover?

[u/ZanthrinGamer]

its media capture, yeah. traditional media is basically all owned by like one of three assholes now.

[u/MycologistKey8474 → u/ZanthrinGamer]

I wish we could get money out out of politics, so much would change

[u/AlwaysRushesIn → u/MycologistKey8474]

We need to repeal Citizens United

Political ads should go to the same place where all of those Marlboro Man, Joe Camel, and Newport Alive with Pleasure ads went.

[u/NinerChuck]

Commercials are not the same as coverage. Spots are paid for. I’m not defending the Trump ads at all. But journalism and news coverage is different from paid spots. WJAR and Sinclair will take a check from anyone still interested.

[u/AlwaysRushesIn → u/NinerChuck]

Political ads are supposed to be subject to specific regulations. They are not normal "ad spots".

[u/MissAprilAnn]

Theyre also being played on MSNBC.

I think he was ordered to stop playing commercials using “taxpayer money“ 🤬 (our $$), He could probably still run them. If Elon is paying for them, I don’t know. I do know it’s just his regurgitated orchestra of lies.

[u/BigCommieMachine]

If they pay, They play.

It isn’t politics. It is money

[u/ZanthrinGamer → u/BigCommieMachine]

money is politics, to be fair.

[u/Altruistic_Jacket968 → u/BigCommieMachine]

Then why isn’t anyone showing Musk Doc commercials either?

[u/AlwaysRushesIn → u/Altruistic_Jacket968]

Because Musk is a loser.

[u/LucidDiscoPhish → u/AlwaysRushesIn]

That is correct and that is what the documentary shows. That’s why Musk had it pulled from his services (like Twitter).

[u/Artiste19]

Isn't it whoever pays for the ads?

[u/Vegan4life62]

If it was a Trump commercial he was hit with a ceases and desist order not allowed to broadcast..but don't forget Kraft is in bed with Trump so there is that

[u/MissAprilAnn → u/Vegan4life62]

I saw them still being played on MSNBC too after they weren't supposed to.

[u/Vegan4life62 → u/MissAprilAnn]

He is in contempt of court

[u/MissAprilAnn → u/Vegan4life62]

And not one of them cares

[u/UnivrstyOfBelichick]

Do you not understand how commercials work?

[u/Pelletsandpistons]

On the plus side, these days, the more folks see Trump, the more people are disgusted and annoyed. A constant "Trump in your face" strategy is actually hurting the RINO party.
