The Subversive Intentions of Our Mainstream Media

FTA:
With the 2020 election less than nine months away and with all the laughs silenced and the tears shed, we have enough distance to assess whether the media learned the lessons of 2016.

They have not. Alarmingly, it seems as though the only adjustment most media elites are making is to reject even more stridently the traditional standards and principles of their profession.
...
Here we see an inversion of how a democratic election is supposed to unfold. Rather than allow open, free public discourse to determine which issues will be at the fore of the campaign, Johnston advocates a scenario where the media selects the issues that should be of concern to the public and then gins up coverage to generate public support for their objectives.

Generally speaking, these journalistic biases are driven by a low opinion of the public.

In similar fashion, HRC ran against Donald Trump solely on a platform of 'We must all hate Donald Trump.' She was soundly defeated. Now the Dems and MSM are hoping to defeat DJT on a platform of 'We must all hate Donald Trump.'

As Einstein said, 'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different outcome.'
