I am hoping the second and third win tomorrow will be for
1) low informed voters (as Rush used to call them) to pressure media to be more balanced now that the media has so overtly exposed themselves and
2)woke-ness has a stake put thru it's heart

I used to get my news strictly from Rush, and Free Republic. Now that Rush is gone, it’s just Free Republic. The Mainstream Media can die for all I care.

Another reason to vote for Trump that I didn’t need, because I had so many already.

“The partnership we've had with the Biden Administration to discredit and censor dissenters from the progressive way of thinking … I think I see the problem.”

There is a whole generation or two of Leftist journalists who are going to disappear. Dan Rather goes back to JFK. Doris Kearns Goodwin goes back to LBJ. James Carville goes back to Clinton. The list is really very long. All of these people have passed their Sell By date. No one cares what they think. The industry will cast them aside after this big loss.
Younger journalists will step up, but they won’t have gravitas, they won’t be such household names, and they won’t be as artful. Many will be woke little crazy people. They won’t really make a mark.
And, in general, the public has soured on Mainstream News. It’s a bad industry, no one really cares about it anymore, and the familiar faces will be gone.
They’re done. I see no recovery.

"In hindsight, I guess we should've gone 100% negative on Trump and 100% positive on Harris. It seems that trying to give an appearance of balance and fairness undermined the more important objective of unifying the nation behind a single way of thinking." Can this be a real quotation? The level of ignorance and self-deception is galactic.

Jeff Bezos is going to have to dismantle WaPo and remake it similar to what Musk did with Twitter.
So 90% of employees will have to be laid off.
Jeff Bezos is a Democrat. But I don't think he's a progressive.

They will just relocate.
The power to influence others will not disappear.
Those who sell the power to influence others will migrate into the new territory of influence.
It’s already happening.

If you notice, this thread and the posted article are SATIRE. It is clearly labeled that it is Satire.
Don’t take my comment harshly. You are not the first to think the articles by JOHN are real. I’ve made that mistake, and more than once.
JOHN SEMMENS is very skilled at these SATIRE articles and almost invariably someone is fooled. Blame it on his skills, not yourself or anyone similarly surprised.

After Trump has Liz Cheney shot, he will turn on the media. No telling whether he will shoot them all or if he will make a number of examples pour encourager les autres. Knowing his dictatorial past, he will have all of them shot. And probably send out mean tweets about what he did.

It’s not that they “lost” the audience, so much as their credibility has evaporated.

If Trump wins, his first tasks are: clean out the FBI, clean out the CIA, clean out the national security establishment, clean out the Justice Department. That is all.
