Unless you hit the media in the pocketbook, they will continue the madness. Pick an advertiser and start the boycotting and this will end very quickly.

It is called conspiracy.

 

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations

Certainly journalists are "People of the same trade.” Do they "meet together” much? Only continuously, via the AP newswire. They’ve been doing it since memory of living man runneth not to the contrary.

The question is, why do journalists conspire to promote “liberalism?” The answer is simple, once seen. The business model of journalism depends on belief in the objectivity of journalism and on journalism’s focus on bad news. “No news is good news” because good news “isn’t news. Why do those two things combine to promote “liberalism?” Because the very idea that “negativity is objectivity" is the very definition of cynicism.

Journalism is cynical towards society but that does not mean that it is cynical towards government. To the contrary, since skepticism toward society is the very raison d’être of government, cynicism toward society maps to naiveté towards government. Which is precisely the defining combination of socialism.

“It is called conspiracy.”

As good revolutionaries, they are furthering the revolution and therefore not committing fraud.

Some might call it conspiracy but the delusion of the left is that conspiracy is not conspiracy but a healthy activity that is completely moral which makes the destruction of the Republic its aim and not illegal, immoral or wrong.

The Constitution is the target and they are hiding behind whatever they can to subvert it and then make it irrelevant.
