We are witnessing the power of the Brown Shirt Media. Over the course of a weekend we have seen the media narrative shift from what stupid candidates the Rats have and how Trump is crushing them to “Half the country are white terrorists” because two violent psychopath LIBTARDS murdered dozens of people. You just can’t say it any other way. And some of you still think we can fix this country?
Who gives a ####?
Nobody here is listening and his numbers go up every time they do that stuff.
And Australians and French and English and Ex Pats and ANYONE else that doesn’t liver here can go #### themselves because he’s our president.
And he’s gonna be for another 5 1/2 years.
Mussolini burned newspaper offices because he knew they were agitating for the communist revolution Italy faced after WWI. FReepers have criticized me in the past for justifying that (as an attack on a free press), but it is clear now that it wasn’t an impartial media - very biased. We have the same here, easy to ignore - but it is impossible to ignore the millions that devour their BS as gospel truth.
The website for the Newark Star-Ledger here in NJ never misses an opportunity to slam Trump, recently going so far as to run a headline saying Brazil’s Trump (their president; I guess not leftist enough) was cutting down the rain forest. The comments ripped the editorializing apart; now I get my news from comments to fake news stories.
That's a realistic view to have, far healthier than thinking that a secret cabal of patriotic bureaucrats are working to restore America from behind the scenes. That's make-believe nonsense. The cavalry isn't coming to our rescue, any change will be up to us.
We’re not witnessing the power of the media. We’re witnessing the death of their power.
