Media are pernicious.

Thanks for the ping.
From the article:

“Trump is the media’s star. Without him, CNN would have to go back to chasing missing airliners.”

I had forgotten about that——I watched it every night for the comic relief——it was hysterical.

I appreciate Dan’s work and think he has some interesting points here but it fails to catch the hyperbolic curve of the last 16 years since 9/11.

At the time of 9/11, the media realized that America’s general conservative values would win out. As the unity was observed in horror by the left, the mission of every progressive communist was in doubt. It was going to take a herculean effort to wrestle control of our culture back into a leftist destination. They made that effort.

It has now reached the point where there is none so vile as a typical national journalist. Remember how David Horowitz’s communist party parents told him that they no longer should refer to themselves as communist, it now had to always be “progressive.”

I wonder if The New York Times, the Washington Post and CNN are really realizing rising subscriptions, ad sales and profits?

I have no idea how to verify that, but if it is true, I’d be surprised.

How would one verify?

I really hope that the MSM is bleeding!

[citizen]

All too true but it’s only prolonging the media’s lingering death.

Few politicians understand that conflict of interest better than Trump who has spent most of his adult life playing the media.

LOL

Not long ago, the media finally let slip who their masters really are. As soon as they began floating the idea that President Trump was unbalanced, unfit, or even "insane," the media began to use the same tactics used by the old Soviet Union, and it became immediately evident that the "mainstream media," which has been the propaganda arm of the DNC, is really the propaganda arm of CPUSA, the "Communist Party, USA." That slip, by advertising the old communist tactic, has revealed that the DNC is actually just a front for CPUSA.

Comparing the MSM to Pravda and Isvestia from the old Soviet Union, at least the later were honest enough to admit they were propaganda instruments.

I'm also amazed at the claim that it's "unamerican" to criticize the media. Not at all. The reason it's actually something that's important is that there is nearly NO free, independent media in the USA. The media wasn't just uninterested in investigating the weaponizing of federal agencies against political opponents of the left, it worked hand in hand WITH the corrupt Obama regime to do the work of the regime. And what is probably the greatest shame of the so called "media" during the Obama regime is the way they ignored and even buried the surprising attacks of the Obama regime against the press! Wire tapping the AP? Lying to a federal judge to get a warrant to tap the lines of James Rosen of Fox News, and, I believe, his parent's home as well! Not a frigging peep by the NY Slimes, CNN, WAPO, or any other major rags or broadcast networks.

President Trump is confident that he can get the media to do what he wants because he understands that it only pretends to be driven by progressive virtue, but is actually motivated by classic vice. The core hypocrisy of the left is its belief that it can have virtue in the public sphere and vice in the private one.

Media stars can grope their female subordinates in private as long as they tout Planned Parenthood and Linda Sarsour in public. It’s okay to fly private jets as long as they push for plastic bag bans. Getting rich is great if they do it while dedicating their careers to opposing the idea of other people getting rich. If you tweet #BlackLivesMatter, you can make racist jokes with your friends. That’s the hypocritical left.
