My opinion? They are not having to compete with international economic migration quite so much.
But the migration rate hasn't changed that much at all has it?

Here or in the US?
The fact that unemployment is low is entirely due to the sound economic policies of the Obama administration.
Trump has down nothing to lower unemployment.
His tax chnanges are too soon to have much on employment, and they will only result in increases shareholder wealth. They might actually increase unemployment, since employee wages are tax deductible there is less incentive to reduxe taxes through staff.
His trade wars are actively making companies lay off at. Alabama expect to loose 20,000 workers in the car industry.
Immigration has no real impact on employment.since demand and supply are balanced equilibrium. In fact shortages of unskilled workers are making some companies struggle. Farmers in particular are struggling, with many bankruptcies.
His attack on solar power has cost $2.5bn in lost bussiness
Apart from that Trump hasn't actually done much because he is so incompetent. The only things he has.done has increased unemployment.

Out of curiosity, what other outlets do you use?
I bet I can guess....
I'd be interested to know how many mainstream media advocates in here know of Carl Benjamin, Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder. Even Jordan B Perterson, Milo Yiannopoulos or Katie Hopkins.....
I'm not going to convince you ^^^^ and that's just fine, trying is just running round in circles denying the truth and asking for other proof when it disagrees with you.
You have yet to make a case at all.

Right. As i said before, an example is Assad, he is a secularist, Damascus is full of Christians, Moderate Muslims of all sects and even some Jews, there are some, quite a lot of 'Traditional?' Muslims who don't like Christians or Jews or even different factions of their own kind.
I expect so. That's why they're mainstream media advocates.
Christopher Hitchens proudly described himself as a Marxist and that should tell you all you need to know about his politics.
Are you a Marxist Johno please? what is it with the hard left always putting forward the hard left as the righteous authority? the guy was a dangerous idiot.
Its why, those ideas, that the middle east is now a total basket case and the rest of us have to deal with the fallout.
Good comeback but the point is the other side of the coin doesn't exist for conformists, socialists are by nature conformists.
So you have no rebuttal then? Just ad hominem, pfft.
Hitchens knowledge of the middle east was second to none. (Iraq especially)
The middle east has always been a "basket case" if you want to put it like that, removal of psychopathic dictators is a good thing believe it or not, I don't tow the line that they need "strong men" in power, what an understatement that is as well, I prefer the term "fascist tyrant".... and no, im not on the "hard left" or a marxist.

well lets get the elephant in the room out of the way first of all, I haven't really had anything to do with infowars for years (though some of the Alex Jones compliation vids of him having breakdowns are quite funny), used to watch a lot when I was 16 but Alex Jones' approach seems to be to report everything and hope some of it sticks, even a stopped clock is right twice per day right? But I do smile when I see things like the MSM reporting on weather manipulation in 2018 when Alex was reporting on it in 2005 and prior but being called a lunatic for doing so.
so, used at various times and in no particular order, these are some of the media sources/commentators that I use as sources of information:
Daily Mail
Independent
Guardian
Metro
RT
TYT
Daily Wire (Ben Shapiro)
Rebel Media
Steven Crowder
Owen Jones
LBC radio
Sargon of Akkad
The Rubin Report
Stefan Molyneux
The Academic Agent
AT magazine
PQ magazine
AB magazine
Rogan Experience
The thing that bugs me most about the MSM (and note, I do use some sources of MSM) is how article titles are pure click bait followed by a paragraph or two which typically purports to be 'news' but is actually opinion (and pretty hyperbolic opinion at that) followed up by the actual facts halfway down the page which most people never seem to get to and usually contradicts the opinion presented in those first few paragraphs.
I really like the long form interviews which seem to be flavour of the month at the moment as you are able to explore philosophical and political ideas more thoroughly than you can when BBC talking head no.235702 is trying to corral 4 people who appear to hate each other whilst simultaneously attempting to cajole a misstatement out of someone because it sells stories all in the space of 5 minutes because we need to go to the weather because people can't see it out their window.
I also like, in particular, the attempts that People like Dave Rubin and Joe Rogan make to reach out and involve people that maybe don't share their opinion without seeking to completely lambaste and deride them. I really like this kind of Lockean approach to knowledge that says 'I think I'm right but I'm willing to hear the reason (not necessarily the feelings) behind your opinion to help strengthen mine, or ultimately incorporate knowledge which I had not previously considered (even to the point where my opinion may change as happened to Dave Rubin).
I really like the idea that now so many people are connected we can share events as they happen, often far quicker than the MSM can. Yes you need to apply more of your own critical thinking and not just accept everything that everyone says as gospel truth (ie Alex Jones Nibiru 2012 the aliens are coming...) but I do believe that the panoply of 'media' coverage we enjoy today is something worth keeping (and fighting for) even if I might disagree with some of the places others chose to get their information. Laws like Article 13 are a direct assault on the media of the commons by what remains of the hegemony of the Mainstream.
Are you a Marxist Johno please?
