Media as carpetbaggers?

 



November 16, 2020
 
 
Mainstream media is in a bind – and not just because its underwear is tangled.
In the past, it thrived on scandal, and this was particularly true when the scandal seemed to involve Trump.
But over the last few months, media has had to take on a new role in helping to coverup Democratic scandals, and the staff of these outlets, just don’t have what it takes
Even with the help of the social media giants, the scandal involving Biden’s son, and the more recent belief that Democrats stole the election in Biden’s behalf just won’t go away.
Democrats are rarely as smart as they think they are, but can sometimes be pretty slick, and the using a software company in which Pelosi’s husband is on the board and in which Feinstein owns stock to steal the election is just too slick.
Worse still, Biden appointed the owner of the computer company to his transition team – I suppose to make sure the vote gets counted in Biden’s favor.
Media has never been honest, even on a micro level. We are a breed of self-declared truth-sayers, now of whom know exactly how to tell the truth.
Power Brokers have long known how to control public opinion by controlling the Press only it is never become so blatant as it is now.
But it is hard to tell which came first --  much like the chicken or the egg question. Did politics corrupt Media?
Or did media invent its own corruption because it is obsessed with its own power?
What is happening now on the national level is a test of media strength and its ability not only to be kingmaker but to contain information that it does not want to see released.
Their number ways of doing this, by ignoring it or claiming it is coming from a load of cranks, and that we are deliberately spreading false, misleading or partly factual accounts of what is going on – especially with the vote rip off.
But it becomes very difficult for media to defend Biden with his long history of cheating a lying that goes back to college and his first days in the U.S. Senate when plagiarism appears to have been his middle name.
We frequently get social media fact checkers censoring the unacceptable and inconvenient truth – but in fact, these factcheckers are largely moonlighting reporters from the same anti-Trump publications trying to contain the information in the first place.
In some cases, some of these questionable reporters actually worked for the Obama administration, and puts Obama in another bind, since he spent a good portion of his prudency attacking the same press he is defending when it comes to criticizing Trump.
Weather Trump wins his lawsuit and retains his presidency or not, media has totally discredited itself and a New Media needs to be invented to replace.
Someone recently claimed CNN is up for sale. It would be ironic if Trump or some other rich conservative bought it, and really did give us news fit to print.
