> Times have changed quite a bit on that front When's the last time you heard the right use "communist" as an insult? Thank you for the youtube link, it's ANOTHER example of the Immoral Journalist trope to add to my list.

>When's the last time you heard the right use "communist" as an insult? I dunno, they've been relegated to AM radio & FOX News so I never hear them anymore. The mainstream news sources continue to be cleansed of wrongthink. There is no fleshing out of contrasting ideas in the news, only competing echo chambers for people to mainline their confirmation biases directly in toe their veins with no challenge to their preexisting thoughts and ideas. Carefully crafted into 7 second soundbites of course. > it's ANOTHER example of the Immoral Journalist trope to add to my list Then you don't know what a trope is. These are actual clips of real "journalists" dutifully reading their party-line scripts. This isn't a portrayal.

  Oh, that explains why you're totally our of the loop on how often "communists" are painted negatively in mainstream American media, you didn't see it. > Then you don't know what a trope is Oops, I sure do, it's when an element recurs in a piece of art. The piece if art you posted (the youtube video) was created by an artist to portray the message "the news is fake." Thus, ANOTHER example of the Immoral Journalist trope.

    >you're totally our of the loop on how often "communists" are painted negatively in mainstream American media Decades ago, sure. We're talking about during modern times though and over the last 30 years it's the capitalists that always get painted negatively in media. >The piece if art you posted So you missed the part where this isn't a portrayal. It's the actual journalists reading from a script, the same script they all read from. And that's our "journalists", no wonder the news is so manufactured, homogenized and faked.

      > over the last 30 years it's the capitalists that always get painted negatively in media You said you haven't seen the media I'm referring to, meaning you're totally our of the loop on how often "communists" are painted negatively in mainstream American media. You simply don't have the data, you're guessing. > So you missed the part where this isn't a portrayal Sure didn't, it's also a piece of art that was created by an artist. Did you know that art can include clips from reality? They're called "documentaries." So again, if you knew what a "trope" was you'd understand that the artist that edited this art is using the Immortal Journalist trope.
