Yes I agree.


Most people on the left do get their information largely from the MSM. I don't think that is a controversial statement.
The MSM has played a large role in crafting this political atmosphere of TDS leftists.

He is directly parroting the MSM narrative of the week.
I am saying it applies to him specifically and quite obviously.



This is grossly underestimating and misunderstanding the MSM. They have close ties to the CIA and other government agencies and regularly craft narratives and talking points for their audience to repeat.
They are literal propagandists.
Sure money also plays a role, and getting their audience riled up and thinking dissent is evil can be profitable for them. But to think their channels are just repeating popular grassroots narratives that regular leftists already came up with is way off the mark.

I have already clarified that I am not saying all leftists are just parroting MSM talking points.
As I was saying, MSM bias is strongly for the establishment-left, (with an encroaching socialist/progressive bent in recent years as they integrate with the democratic party.)

Biden's speech right now seems to be aimed right at me.

This is a real president.

Watching a normal press secretary answer questions without weird defensiveness, but rather with actual answers, is so refreshing.

It helps when the people asking questions don't want you dead.

Hard not to get pissed at obvious gaslighting though.

I found Biden's press secretary very impressive. Looking forward to an administration that actually holds these briefings.

It is refreshing but you should never trust the WH Press Secretary. These people are mouth pieces for the administration and will always spin things. Trump's secretaries were pathetic and seemed to get progressively worse but we should never hold the position in high regard.
