A classic tactic of wrongdoers is to project their faults and agenda onto the opposing side.
It serves several purposes:
-It persuades the ones that you and your kind are hurting that the oppressors are in fact the protectors.
-It puts the opposition off-balance as it struggles to defend itself.
-In the case of the media in particular, it covers for the ethical crimes in which they regularly engage, while the few who do try to get things straight are painted as the bad guys.
-It throws up a smokescreen so that their supporters can go about their work unobstructed.
In the current state of affairs, this crime is all the more heinous as they are more vicious after winning than they have been in my memory.
"During a discussion on HuffPost Live Friday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave a strong condemnation of what he calls the “right wing media” and particularly Fox News.
“It’s divided our country in a way that we haven’t been divided probably since the Civil War,” Kennedy said of Fox News during the discussion focused on fracking. “Its empowered large corporations to get certain kinds of politicians and ideologues who are in the United State Congress elected — the Tea Party ideologues who control the Republican Party.”
The nephew of President John F. Kennedy and son of former senator and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy made these claims against Fox while describing what he sees as the two biggest problems in American politics: the influence of big money and “the right-wing control of the American media.”
In addition to Fox News, Kennedy criticized right-wing talk radio that he describes as having a negative and large influence on whole sections of the country.
“Ninety-five percent of talk radio in our country is right-wing, and you need, according to Pew survey, and you–so a whole section of our country that that’s what they’re hearing. They wake up in the morning, when they go to bed at night,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy also claimed that Republicans “are the only ones that have their own (TV) network.' "
Although I allow that there are a tiny amount of people who, being raised in ignorance, actually believe that the media is biased towards the right.
RFK Jr. and his types are not those people.
As far as I am concerned, Conservatives are to blame. They have allowed the argument to be turned against them. While the media dwells in the shade provide for them by RFK Jr. and his pals, those who are being attacked do nothing but offer weak arguments in their defense. This is not an occasion for defending oneself; situations such as this call for offensive moves. The mainstream media media must be exposed.
The nation has in fact been terribly divided, but the work is beyond a doubt the work of the Left. This is an HAMAS-type move; send rockets after rocket, kidnap Israeli soldiers, acquire missiles, conduct operations in civilian areas, and blame the Israelis for doing something about it.
Those who have taken the US to extremes cannot be allowed to blame their milquetoast opponents.
As I noted in previous posts, the Left, like they have with the term Democracy, redefined the middle to be just barely to the right of themselves. Whenever you hear someone claim that he is "left-of-center" you can, rest assured, know that he is squarely in the camp of the Progressives. By falsely placing the center close to them, those who are barely right-of-center, such as Fox or Sean Hannity, can be demonized as radical rightists.
The idea is a simple but effective one. By falsely labeling the opposition as the radical bad guys, the actual radicals can present themselves as moderates.
When faced with these arguments, don't give in to the urge to defend the protectors of liberty. Make it clear that you are fully aware of the hitherto successful attempts to project their wrongdoing onto your side.
In my opinion, this is another reason why we must consider dividing the nation into separate Republic and Progressive states. Let the descendants of dysfunctional families such as the Kennedys run their Progressive state into the ground.
