No one cares anymore.

No one listens to you anymore.

We’re laughing at you.

We don’t need you.

We don’t want you.

And we’re laughing at you.

Spot on.

“gatekeeper gigs are becoming as rare as jobs for millennials with masters degrees in Feminist Interpretive Dance.”

Somebody stop him

And we are enjoying it! The only part of the news I enjoy anymore is the long faces of the “journalists” as they realize Illary’s is losing. Priceless.

Marxist gatekeepers. Propagandists of putrid progressives. Sink the socialists/psychopaths without firing a shot.

Deplorables at the gate. November 8. Be there. (war by other means)

OMG - my thoughts exactly. It’s amazing how this election has finally shown for all the world to see just how bias the MSM is. And the fact that we all, collectively see it, is a confirmation we are transitioning into a new era.

“So of course you double down.”

Yup.

Someone, I can’t remember who, stated a long time ago, that before the dinosaur media completely fails, it would go utterly extremist leftist shrill.

So we’re right on schedule.

They say true journalism has been dead for some time.

Believe it started to die in the 60’s and 70’s when there were a number of concerted efforts from liberals and communists to take over the schools of journalism in the colleges and universities.

True journalism may have completely died about 2008.

But the question is, How can it come back to life?

The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.

The man whom we believe is necessarily, in the things concerning which we believe him, our leader and director, and we look up to him with a certain degree of esteem and respect. But as from admiring other people we come to wish to be admired ourselves; so from being led and directed by other people we learn to wish to become ourselves leaders and directors . . .

The desire of being believed, the desire of persuading, of leading and directing other people, seems to be one of the strongest of all our natural desires. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)

It was dead in ‘68, when they refused to portray the Tet offensive as the absolute destruction of the VC, similar to what the Battle of the Bulge was to the Hun.

Hear, hear! These smug media mannequins have sacrificed everything this time out, and their utter hubris has sealed their extinction.

Good riddance. All that we’re saying ... is give Truth a chance.
