Media vs Donald Trump

The New York Times came out with another hit piece depicting plotting to take kids away from their parents when crossing into the United States from Mexico.
This is largely a rehash of an old story updated with a discussion about what to do about kids who are being transported across the boarder by smugglers, paid for parents desperate to get their kids Dreamer benefits.
This was not a new issue. Obama officials also struggled with telling who was a parent and who was an operative.
Trump people thought even to do DNA testing.
But The Times is so bent on slanting the story, if failed to put this in perspective, looking to create havoc ahead of the election.
Give truth serum to a journalist and it won’t work. Some things just defy nature.
We knew the shitshow it's going to start at any point but this is even more intense that I expected
Major media is throwing everything at the wall it possibly can to muddy up Trump and it's curious as to why they feel this desperate need if the polls that are broadcasting are correct
This is not to say Trump hasn't done his best to destroy himself but the fact is that media has been at war with him for over 5 years and obviously has a lot to lose in the middle of this.
Media are the arbitrators of Truth. They tell us what is going on in the world that we cannot see for themselves which is why they can manipulate the reality for us and do often misquoting people or taking things out of context.
This is why my friends in Pennsylvania are so confused they see media has the truthsayer and then realize that maybe it isn't what media is saying that is true.
So in the end days this is bliss a campaign between Trump and Biden as it is Trump and media.
If media cannot unseat Trump this time then it proves that Media is basically a castrated bull with no effect whatsoever except on those who already agree with its point of view.
The credibility of our institution the fourth estate is on the line and they are doing everything they possibly can to continue to distort reality in order to regain their position as the kingmaker.
If Trump wins media will once more take a heavy blow to the chest and we'll have to rethink perhaps its position on manipulating people.
In any other election the Republicans would be way out in front simply because the Democratic ticket is so pathetically weak you have a white old man who helped orchestrate the worst laws against blacks in America representing African-American interest and a prosecutor who helped invoke those laws and put people in prison representing free Africans
But with media pumping up there agenda we skip a kind of Alice in Wonderland effect where nothing is real unless media says it is and so they can be altering reality at any time giving us one pill now and one pill later and not caring that they aren't consistent as long as they are consistently anti-trump.
The distortion gets worse as we get closer to the election the more of these old hags they dragged out of the past such as Woodward and poor Jimmy Carter.
As if they can evoke some kind of magic that will certainly bring people back into the fold people who are beginning to suspect the Democratic party no longer represents their interest and media is just using them.
At the end of the day this election is about the credibility of media.
Now we have Facebook and Twitter joining in and perhaps even Fox who realized that if Trump wins there is no going back to the good old days of a power elite where media controls the way we think.
Misinformation of course is everywhere and the problem we face is who interpret it as information and who determines it as misinformation.
We have Twitter who has a total agenda now censoring everything it disagrees with even when you can prove your case it doesn't matter in that court of law.
Facebook is worse since it was blamed for the Russian conspiracy which turned out to be a hoax but people have a short memory and so when media says the Russian conspiracy still exists it still exist.
In the end it will be curious to see how write the pulsar and whether or not media can retain its hegemony over the rest of us in our thinking.
