The left and its echo chamber are convinced they are taking out Trump. It's their "narrative" and they actually believe their own PR. They don’t see how they have driven themselves over the edge of reason and can no longer convince others. The only people they have convinced are themselves -- of their own righteousness. And they actually believe they have succeeded.
Again.
This echo chamber once held great power. They used to be able to form "narratives," ( activist storylines to decide and interpret news), persuade the powerful, and terrorize the right. They could make most Republicans quake just by pulling out the race card or the half dozen other narrative cards they have used for so long. The chamber was constructed over decades. Leftist educators and pols used this Alinskyite playbook to ascend to power, and damn, they were good at using it. One of their pols, or media stars would say something, often perfectly false, and voila! the media, and their fellow Democratic Party pols would echo it and repeat it so much, it would literally become true in the minds of the majority of the public. The ideas that Republicans were racist, or against science, or had brazenly ruined the environment, are great examples of what they accomplished.
Now, the echo chamber is losing its power. The tricks the left used to nominate and elect a man who literally had no business running for any office -- that's President Obama, who had no qualifications for the office - no longer work. These same tricks were used to try to elect Hillary, they even doubled and tripled their usage of the echo chamber. Yet Trump is now president instead of Clinton

The left is dying.
Fake news media is fighting in the trenches.
Trump is running rings around them.
"We're losin' power, and I kannae hold her much longer!"
Like it or not - the President, preferably through a STRONG press secretary MUST control the daily soap opera narrative. That means planning what is “news” weeks in advance. Reporters are lazy, they will read the script that is handed to them. Answering press questions is a side show, the real job, it to MAKE THE NEWS.
What do you think Media Matters does?
Even up to the 11th hour they believed their own polls that Hillary won. They are on the road to insignificance.There is a limit to intelligence, not to stupidity.
I simply no longer watch network TV news....not even Fox. And I record local news so I can fast-forward past anything broadcast on the local by the national networks.
The only "news" I watch is the local weather forecast, and I "fact-check" even that against Weather Underground, which is consistently more accurate.
Excellent article.
Trump’s supporters must stay engaged. We can’t sit back and watch. Whatever engagement we had during the campaign, we must maintain throughout the entire battle?
You’re right, and Trump reminded us all big time yesterday. Great presser.
Add in his rally tomorrow, and the narrative will change in our favor.
Gotta love it. The deep state move and the media nonsense is going to lose.
Lying comes natural to them.
Bingo! Yahtzee!
The left no longer has a message. They can only obstruct. The public is already sick of it.
“Trump’s supporters must stay engaged. We can’t sit back and watch. Whatever engagement we had during the campaign, we must maintain throughout the entire battle?”
This is why Trump is continuing to do rallies. And you and I must not underestimate the remaining power of the media. Fight the good fight!
The Marxist Media IS who is hiding behind the black masks at Berkley.
Why else would F. Chuck Todd be in total freak-out mode?
He’s looking at a future in the Macy’s Executive Training Program.
Amen!
People now understand the media is FAKE NEWS, no credibility.
