I have to tell you a remarkable personal story, a story that proves the liberal media are, in fact, out to frame and ruin President Donald Trump and his supporters with lies, distortions and misrepresentation; a story that proves the liberal media are vicious, untrustworthy and sometimes just plain evil.
I was in Miami last weekend to speak in front of 1,200 conservatives at a fabulous three-day conference called AmpFest19. Speakers also included Donald Trump Jr., Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Dinesh D'Souza. The event was organized professionally. The speakers were inspiring. The crowd was enthusiastic. And the energy was sky high.
But it turned out the liberal media sent spies into the audience to try to ruin, denigrate and demonize the event, and kill all the joy. Guess who they went after.
Yours truly.
Their agenda was to paint conservatives as "violent." First, they went after a fake Trump video supposedly played in a back room of the event that no one ever saw. When that didn't work, they went after me.
Nothing violent about me, right? Wrong. When liberals want to slander you, they can take any sentence out of context to hang you -- as long as they leave out the actual details and context. They do this to President Trump every day.
I gave a speech about how to beat Democrats in 2020. It centered on the fact that liberals and the liberal media are bullies -- out to intimidate, ban, censor, persecute, beat us into submission.
I told an inspiring, heartwarming story of my high school past, a story of how I became the real-life "Karate Kid," how I morphed from a nerd, persecuted and brutalized by bullies, to a champion fighter who turned the tables on the bullies.
I started out as a skinny Jewish kid with acne, braces and thick glasses attending one of America's roughest and most violent urban high schools. I was tortured, intimidated, persecuted and beaten -- in the bathrooms and lunchrooms, on the playground and after school.
But one summer, I changed my life. I learned how to fight, lifted weights like a maniac, got contact lenses and took off my braces. I came back to school, and when the first three tough guys attacked me, I responded in self-defense and beat them each badly. My classmates cheered. The nerd became the hero. I made the bullies cry.
No one ever bullied me again. From that day forward, I was the protector of the nerds.
The moral of the story is to never let a bully intimidate you. Always fight back and defend yourself. Never allow the media, antifa thugs or punks on social media to intimidate you. Be a pit bull, not a Chihuahua.
I've walked tall, with confidence, ever since. And I haven't been in a fight. Peace through strength. And one more lesson: Bullies are cowards. If you fight back, they will crumble.
Great story, right? I brought the house down.
But a Soros-funded liberal media group wrote a story in which it accused me of "promoting violence." It turned a great All-American story of the nerd defeating bullies into a story of "violence by conservatives." That's disgusting. That's fraud.
But it's instructive. This is what the liberal media and liberal politicians do to Trump every day. They are liars and bullies. They slander, intimidate, misrepresent and persecute. Their chief tool is propaganda.
From this day forward, every time you see a negative story about Trump, remember my story.
Simple remedy.
PDJT wins election in landslide.
Congress is Republican majority in both House of Representatives and Senate.
Pass law which makes the medias first amendment right of a free press subject to the civil law of libel and defamation in relation to elected federal officials and their immediate families.
Problem solved. A free press is entitled to its own opinions
but not to its own facts. Making up facts is like shouting “fire” in a crowded theater.
Our Republic was never assumed by our Founders to be run on the basis of propaganda. Instead they assumed our Republic would be guided by an informed electorate, which is why we have a constitutionally guaranteed right of a free press. Now that right is abused to misinform the public and a statute needs to remedy that situation.
Make dueling legal. If you are going to slander someone you should have to back it up; with your life.
The New York Slimes is ground zero for all this Bolshevik activity. Take out the ‘Times’ and you will have cut off the head of the snake.
More competition in the media is the answer. The press has always been biased. Pre-radio and television there competing newspapers in every town. Now the LEFT dominates.
Want to help create competition? Cut your cable. Stop funding the LEFT with your cable fees. All the LEFT media channels are in the basic bundle which means they get paid whether you watch them or not.
Half of CNN’s revenue is subscriber fees.
I HATE bullies!
It’s amazing how many people ignore that simple advice. They give excuses like we get cable for grandpa. In fact nobody needs cable TV.
I had no cable for decades.
Recently, I added cable, but only for Internet access. No bundling at all.
That’s ok. When you buy cable internet, no money goes to CNN.
When you don’t watch it the Sponsors and the station lose.
Not been on in this house since Slick Willie’s time.
Good find! Thank you.
CNN gets a portion of every cable bill so if you pay for cable you are paying CNN. CNN gets about 50% of its revenue that way. Less than 50% is ads which depends on viewers. So not watching helps. But paying the cable company does not help.
50%— unreal; they’ll never go away,just cull the last remnant of journalists.
What if we started demanding they cut the network and make it a premium add on? Take to the consumer division of state and local government as a consumers’ choice issue ?
Trump campaign is suing CNN on the basis of a section of the Lanham Act. They don’t have to win, only acknowledge that the network is biased in the written decision.That acknowledgement will provide the argument that they are not a legitimate news service, thus serve no public interest.
Hence, cable service is not obliged to carry them.
