We all know that CNN is basically the megaphone of the Deep State (CIA, military industrial complex, secret societies etc.). Therefore we can rely on them to know what NOT to think. Everytime I am not sure about something or someone, I check CNN. If they praise someone, I distrust him, if they demonize him, I check him out. CNN and the MSM are the reasons I became a Q follower. Assuming that Q is just fringe debunked conspiracy theory, it did not make any sense to spend so much time explaining us how wrong and ridiculous this movement was. Same thing with vaccine. I was not anti-vaccine, but the MSM insisted so much that we were all supposed to get a shot for an illness with a 0.03 % fatality that I started seriously distrusting it. That's why I think that to be really awake (and not woke), we should use the MSM as a south compass to confirm or invalidate our theories.

I have to listen to MSNBC talk about how awful white people are because my dad, a white man, thinks its news. He believes all of it...I know he thinks I’m racist or something, and won’t say it out loud.
I'm sorry to hear that :( satan's poison seeping through our families like this; far more effective than anything they've tried in the past and they don't even need a blatant civil war to turn 'brother against brother' as the saying goes.
Stay strong in what you know to be right and good, you're certainly not alone nor will you be! If you don't know the big man, it's never too late bc truly I say to you that the armor of G_d can endure anything, we need but adorn it willingly. His hand is always open :D
I'm in the exact same boat, except both my parents just get these super sad looks on their faces so I die of guilt.
Hang in there, they will be apologizing to you sooner rather than later.
I use a football analogy to describe why I pay close attention to all the MSM headlines: If you're on the defensive line and the ball is snapped, you'll suddenly be pushed in a direction by someone very powerful. The direction he's pushing you is probably not the direction you want to go, but in pushing, he's telling you something about the play. If he's going to push me to the right, I want to know that right away so I can check out what's going on to the left.
That’s good.
This is my mentality now. I do the opposite of whatever the Media Industrial Complex says.
That is not necessarily a great strategy although it is a good starting point, and in a pinch it can save a lot of time.
Recall that PDT could control the press and his enemies by doing exactly this.
yeah, am college student w/ job so the last thing I have is time lol.
I remember the good old days when I was a college student with a job and thought I was busy.
Believe me. In 10 years you won't be less busy!
I'm still waiting for my business to simmer down and then begin to decrease but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon yet.
Welcome to life!
Tell me about it. I fully understand now why adults are the way they are, because life kinda sucks lol.
I've done quite well for myself the past year by doing the exact opposite of whatever HairGel-Hitler gov Newsom says to do on basically everything.
Also, on the opposite theme, I've had a long standing guideline that on any local or state propositions to vote opposite of whatever the teacher's unions endorse.
Let's get an F in the chat for another People's Republic of California pede. The Teacher's Union angle would also be a pretty good one too.
Although I rarely, if ever turn on cable TV, I often check the left leaning radio channels to hear the "real" news. It gives me something to research when I'm at the keyboard and keep my wheels turning on the commute to and from work. I like your thinking!
Nice moves patriot. Way to make it out alive!
How much more welcoming are the GAW peeps than the MSM tards???
Glad to have you aboard.
I do the same thing! It's strangely reassuring?
Yup. I mentioned something similar to a nurse in the dr's office yesterday: if social media is banning an opposite point of view by dr's and scientists THAT'S what you need to find and read.
We all hold these truths to be self evident.
100% how it works for me as well.
TBH, i used to flip back and forth between Fox and CNN years back, until that fuckin Malaysian airline disappeared, and CNN ran NONSTOP FUCKIN COVERAGE, for over 1 month straight....never again after that
Think mirror.
The truth is always 180 of what CNN says.
It's all so very Lewis Carroll.... Up is Down and Down is Up!
I do the same here in Canada with our fake news - works really well!
That would be fine if one person downloaded them and posted for those who wanted to watch. But I won't turn the channel to them and give them a ratings boost. If one person downloaded it and everyone freeloaded I have no problem with that.
I like that and have also been doing the same thing. I read MSM every day
Great point. I can't tolerate hearing their absurdities, though.
Liars are going to lie. At least they are consistently wrong.
Would advise everyone to not do this. If all of us start assuming the opposite is true of every single thing CNN says, then they can use that to manipulate the way we think. Guys, do we not remember that this is literally one of Trump's favorite plays in the book? Say the opposite of what he thinks to rile up leftists who will always do the opposite of what evil orange man says, and in the end push forward his agenda.
Use CNN as a tool to figure out what is going on, but do not use it like a crutch. Instead, it is just another piece of information that you can selectively use or ignore to formulate the larger picture.
This is literally why I'm here. The Lefty Media kept going on and on and on about "Qanon" that I was like okay.. I guess I need to learn about them because they are probably doing something right.
Good point. Just do everything opposite of what they say and we’re good!
I agree. I scan the headlines of fake news every day to see what the enemy is up to.
Yes, exactly!
Start at the opposite spectrum of what they say and conduct your research from there... You'll end up a lot closer to the truth in less time.
The MSM are bold-faced liars.
The CNN effect.
Presume the enemy is lying and the inverse is true.
Exactly...even if we lose all our alternative news sources we can count on the MSM to tell us whats going on.
MIRROR my Frens, remember..think “mirror”
We have also been schooled on their comms.
"Think mirror" is useful.
Without the knowledge of wrong, how would understand what’s right? These days, seeing the Truth it’s much more difficult but the juice is damn sure worth the squeeze. WWG1WGA!
Good point. That's pretty much how I think. If I see them pushing something, I know it is bad for me. If I see them bashing something, I know it is good for me. If I see them acting like a doctor, lawyer, politician, or scientist is and expert, I can pretty much bet that they aren't and that everything they say is wrong. If I see them denigrate someone, saying they are dangerous, I go right to their website to find out what they know. They hated Trump, so I liked him right away and knew I would be voting for him. They praised Hillary like she was the answer to all our prayers, so I knew those were prayers to the devil.
when CNN says that Biden wants to withdraw from Afghanistan, I knew either he wasn't really planning on doing it or he'd agreed to let the Taliban join the cabal. Which makes sense if you look at the "bacha bazi" phenomenon
