The Media's Mammoth Thumb on the Electoral Scale
American Thinker ^ | 1 Nov, 2024 | John Leonard

The bias, from both the mainstream media and the tech/social media is mind-boggling.

The problem isn’t that Democrats openly and habitually lie about Donald Trump on a regular basis.

The problem is that the media uses subliminal messaging to reinforce those lies. They are not fair, neutral arbiters. The media are Democrats, by and large.

For example, Democrat strategist Aisha Mills recently appeared on Erin Burnett’s show on CNN and blatantly lied about a recent comment from Trump, claiming he’d said that illegal immigrants to the U.S. brought in a lot of “bad genes” among other things.

Mills's insane rant naturally invoked Hitler, but ranged from eugenics (What? Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger are icons within the Democrat party, and she wants to complain about eugenics?) to her personal belief, based on nothing but her own emotion, that Donald Trump considers himself superior to her because of her genetics due to her identity a black lesbian.

Say what?

Trump had indeed used the phrase “bad genes” to speak specifically about illegal immigrant murderers who had killed American citizens.

But did Trump make a sweeping generalization to imply all illegal immigrants were vicious murderers or gang members? No, of course not. He specifically mentioned thirteen thousand murderers who had immigrated to the U.S. illegally.

Yet Mills bizarrely says, “ … as a black lesbian who Donald Trump doesn’t believe has genes as good as his …” and Republican David Urban fires back: “Why do you believe this, Aisha?”

Mills suddenly shifted gears and claimed she was talking about the entire history of everything Donald Trump has ever said, not his most recent comment about immigrant murderers.

When pressed by Urban to cite a specific instance where Trump favorably compared his genetics to those of black lesbians...

Lies are just tools in the leftist toolbox.

“By and large” the media are Democrats?

Yeah, and it’s kind of cold at the South Pole.

My daughter got a journalism degree and couldn’t stand the lie, so became a kindergarten teacher at a Christian classical school and loves it. I knew early on she would be talented at working with children, but her snooty private school was telling all the students they needed to work in business, so she believed them. I kept my mouth shut and let her find her way. Thank God she did. She is a strong Christian conservative married mother.

How deeply into the day do MSNBC and CNN have to go in order to reach as many people as Joe Rogan or Tucker Carlson? The drive by media is propped up by sports. Other programming is mostly awful. Make no mistake, the enemy is willing to lose some money to push The Message. Their resources are immense.

It’s impossible to have fair elections with state sponsored propaganda.

The Media's Mammoth Thumb on the Electoral Scale

Day by day, the MSM is losing its grip on the narrative. When is the last time you bought a newspaper? As the boomers age, the audience of the Cable news and the Newspapers shrink. By the 2028 election, their influence will be negligible, IMO. Social media is the way to go. Google and Meta need to be busted up, btw.

I expect if Trump wins big on November 5th the lame stream media will find itself reduced to irrelevancy. They will of course continue to spew their hate Trump bias, but no one will be tuning in. Already CNN is just hanging on financially and the Washington Post losing thousands of subscribers when they didn’t endorse Harris will need someone’s deep pockets to keep their paper running. The leftist media will struggle to keep operating when there is no audience and dwindling advertising revenue. NPR under a Trump presidency will be kicked to the curb and no longer be on the government dole.

It’s not so much the lies, as it is what they ignore.

Perfect example. There are a lot of stories about Mark Cuban’s past, especially with the Dallas Mavericks organization and their toxic culture. There have also been accusations of Cuban groping people, in particular, a waitress in Portland. These stories were covered by the media.

And yet, yesterday after Cuban shilled for Kamala, it’s as if all of that never happened. They never brought it up.

“I expect if Trump wins big on November 5th the lame stream media will find itself reduced to irrelevancy.”

This is a big fight with an aggressive cancer. After so much dooming here I am seeing solidarity and anger among my Freeper brethren. Twitter X is being turned into a Temple of Doom by Democratic operatives today. It sucks.

Stay strong. Heads high, friends.
