Excellent. Nice touch with the eagle on his shoulder. Partners.

You are absolutely correct in general. Specifically, if a reporter wrote the truth, the editor would do two things; call the writer biased for every point the editor was paid to conider as biased, and make the reporter rewrite the article to reflect the owner’s bias whih is dictated by the power people the owner is inbed wiyh, and so on.

Too many people dependon media to tell them what to think about any given situation or individual. People are like sheep a wise man once said. He wasn’t wrong.

they were too busy either ignoring middle class white people or blaming us for all the destruction the Left has inflicted on America.<<<<

They were too busy sucking the teet of rhino & democrat liars for a paycheck.

The out-of-touch problem is exemplified in Peggy Noonan’s article yesterday, in which she has just discovered that Trump supporters aren’t angry at immigrants, trade partners, etc. They are angry at the elite politicians who consider the grass roots to be vulgarians. IOW, she has been listening to the propaganda of her peers, and not the people she purports to write about. Since she is an elitist, she was very sad about the direction of politics.

They were just passing time while they waited for the postman to deliver their invitations to Hillary’s Coronation.....

The illuminati assumed that the illiterate doesn’t vote and only an illiterate would vote for Trump.

-- Not only did they miss it, they denied it... --

Sort of my sentiment too. They didn't "miss" anything. The plan out of the gate was to ridicule his campaign into oblivion. The plan is still operative.

Yes, Jim, this was a nice brief opus!

One editor fgot it

"No one in this world, as far as I know - and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plan people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly. They dislike ideas, for ideas make them uncomfortable." H.L. Mencken,
