We Watched the Mainstream Press Go into the Looney Bin
Vanity | 11/12/2016 | Self

Posted on 11/12/2016 9:58:44 AM PST by CptnObvious

America was watching as the Maistream Press went into the Loony Bin.

When they wouldn't tolerate dissention over allowing rapists in the women's and girl's bathrooms; we knew they were in the Loony Bin.

When they justified Hillary's unsecure Email server; we knew they were in the Loony bin.

When they avoided covering Hillary's War on Coal, we knew she was in trouble with Pennsylvania and West Virginia, but they (the Mainstream Press) did not.

When they avoided or applauded her comments Increasing Taxation on the Middle Class, we noticed that too and remembered.

And Just so You Know, Mainstream Press, we are noticing how you don't identify the backer of the recent violent 'protesters' (read rioters). How He organized it and bused them in.

Yes, Mainstreamers, know that we are on the internet and that we are watching you dig your graves. Know that for many Americans, your demise of your occupation cannot come soon enough.

It is not insanity.
It is the elevation of their gospel truth, Socialism/Liberalism, over objective truth, reality.
The watch dogs became lap dogs of the liberal elite, seeing it as their guard to protect the ideology versus holding liberal rulers to account or tell the truth about events.

I have no interest in or sympathy for the press but they seem to be following the Big 3 Automakers survival plan: when technology and informed consumers with alternatives threaten sales (ie ratings) they choose to become government bootlickers.

Except for a few preposterous token ‘Hillary is really interesting and funny’ claims made through gritted teeth, nobody in the media could stand her either. A mannequin who was the Dem nominee would get equally fawning coverage.

The constant sucking up to government is meant to preserve their lifeline of bundled cable/satellite packages, without which most channels’ ad budgets would vanish. It’s also meant to keep government from enforcing antitrust regulations as broadcasters, internet providers, satellite providers and mobile data carriers continue their headlong rush towards an appalling monopoly that makes Ma Bell look like Mother Goose.

As individuals, media types are craven, self-serving lefties desirous of nothing more than name/face recognition. But they still know that the only way to make a buck under statism is to link arms with the state.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

I agree. I declared some time ago that this election was the MSM vs. The Internet. The Internet won.

Give some credit to FR, Drudge, Breitbart and the Trump supporters at Reddit, Twitter and (possibly but don't hold me to it) Facebook. We won, you lost. Get used to it MSM.

The problem is their bias results in acts of commission and omission.
Commission: all negative against Trump, all the time.
Omission: Ignoring, or downplaying Clinton scandals and indications of bad health.

There was 18 months of this, non-stop. People got fed up.

In Kennedy’s (FBN) monologue about the losers’ whining after the election she said something like “I drink their tears out of a crystal goblet”. She also called Hillary a shriveled witch. Usually I avoid her as a Greg Gutfeld type, but her monologue was pretty good that night.

The media fails to realize that those millions of deplorables in now bright red fly over country that they loath buy the products from their advertisers. These millions are not going to watch their networks, listen to their radio stations, or buy their newspapers and certainly not going to be swayed to buy the products of their advertisers. Watch as these liberal propaganda machines go bankrupt.

The Mainstream coverage of the Democrat Convention was Sycophantic and Fawning.

Wolf Blitzer must be in shock... He was referring to Trump on Thursday and said “When and ‘if’ Trump takes office on January 20th”. The man is obviously delusional at this point. Does he think they’re going to recount the votes, or Trump is going to resign??? Maybe he thinks there’ll be a coup of some sort.

“we are watching you dig your graves”.......

We need to put a few of those “paid protesters” IN their graves once they have dug them. Then and only then will those radical airheads understand this is America and we have had all of their ass hat childish tantrums we are going to take. Time for them to grow up.

When I think back on it all.. I am kind of surprised Hillary got even 40 percent of the vote.. That shows that there is still some power in the MSM.. But the good news is that with each election their influence becomes smaller and smaller..
