Contradictory Attacks On Trump Expose The Media’s Hollow Echo Chamber
The Federalist ^ | 08/08/2016 | Samantha Strayer

Now that Donald Trump has finally secured the GOP nomination, we can look back at the last year and see unfolding events with greater clarity. The media frenzy surrounding this election, the 24/7 news-cycle, and Trump’s gumption ensure we’re constantly talking about him, analyzing his every move.

Although the most fascinating presidential election in decades, it can get rather exhausting, and there’s no end in sight. It will continue through the general election, Trump’s tenure as president, and beyond. Commentary on the Trump phenomena will outlive the man and all of us.

The spotlight on Trump has been so bright, often to the point of blinding and often intentionally so. Whatever you want to call them — the establishment, the mainstream media, the Consultant Industrial Complex, et al. — there has been a concentrated effort to undermine Trump even before he famously descended the escalator.

Fourteen months later, and the beat goes on. In an effort to prop up the Democrat’s pathetic candidate, that beat has become a clamorous gong — banging out the same notes we’ve heard all year: Trump’s kaput. Fini. Toast.

--------------------------------------

With Trump, there is a way out, at least a way forward. Just by being himself — talking plainly and unapologetically about the things that are broken in us and our country — he has described the American dilemma as it really is. Endless whining about his style, his tweets, or how many times he says “Constitution” is ultimately a distraction from the larger, more important issues. As Phyllis Schlafly so eloquently described it 52 years ago, we finally have a choice, not an echo.

The newspaper writers (cannot call them “journalists”) regurgitate each other articles and stories. It makes me sick, but not them.
