In my view, both parties have become corrupt and they are tired of the promises made that aren't fulfilled. They are probably tired of war, right or wrong they just want change and a better country. No, they are dumb as posts. Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
Guest Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 It has been suggested that Trump is being played by Bannon, specifically with the media rigging elections narrative, to advance Breitbart media. There may be something to this, but I wonder if Trump is actually in on it. The stupid followers referenced in this thread are the same who by Beck and O'Reilly books and consider Breitbart/Fox/Limbaugh/Drudge/Etc to be legitimate sources of news and commentary. This is a gullible and lucrative crowd that will swallow any narrative without the need for evidence and reason. So I wonder if Bannon is just manipulating his candidate to increase the fortunes of his fake news site or if maybe Trump sees himself as a future right-wing media star and wants to cash in on that market.

Move to a city that does get it then. Also, it seems CBC was pretty useful for C-SPAN for 9/11 coverage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBC_Television#Carriage_of_CBC_News Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) C-SPAN uses CBC news for infrequent dead time filler...it is not scheduled carriage. It's fun to watch that or CPAC to see the comical language translation fumbling earpieces and AMERICAN sign language inset. Sometimes "dumb" can be funny.

Wasn't there a study done a few years back which showed regular FOX viewers were actually LESS knowledgeable than people who never watched the news at all?

Wilber Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 If you just watch US cable news, there is no news other than this election. They just concentrate on the story du jour and the rest of the world pretty much disappears. I see them as very limited news sources at the best of times.

In case you're unaware, Canada is in the Americas, hence uses American Sign Language. But we also have Langue des signes du Québec (LSQ), Maritime Sign Language (MSL), and British Sign Language (BSL) in use here because even our Deaf communities are more cultured than Americans. Quote

Theere is a live streaming service, but it costs $6.95/month. Why are all the competition complaining when CBC charges so much? Back to the subject that matters. I guess we are all in agreement that Trump supporters are too dumb to know they are dumb, so nobody is taking up the counter argument. Quote
