The media’s vicious and unprecedented attack on the Trump ticket
American Thinker ^ | 6 Sep, 2024 | Andrea Widburg

The AP lied about JD Vance’s response to the Georgia shooting, and the New York Times’s publisher went to the WaPo to complain about Trump as a threat to the media.

Beginning in 2007, to get Obama into office, the media abandoned objectivity, even while still claiming to be objective. In 2016, a New York Times writer argued that Trump was such a unique threat that “journalism shouldn’t measure itself against any one campaign’s definition of fairness.” Objectivity, he said, was “untenable.” And just the other day, James Carville, the architect of Bill Clinton’s 1992 victory, issued marching orders to the media: “F**k your objectivity.” The media continue to operate under those guidelines, attacking the Trump campaign in ways never before seen in American history.

One of the prime ways the media do this is through reporting that relies heavily on omission to convey an impression that is the opposite of the truth. The AP did that yesterday, and the Kamala campaign used that technique to its advantage.

Following the Georgia shooting (which occurred because the FBI failed to follow up on a known threat), JD Vance said,

I don't like this. I don't like to admit this. I don't like that this is a fact of life. But if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets, and we have got to bolster security at our schools so that a person who walks through the front door...we’ve got to bolster security so that if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children, they're not able to.

In other words, JD Vance believes that the problem is that schools are soft targets because the tragic reality of the world...

JD Vance: “......if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets; we have got to bolster security at our schools to prevent a psycho walking through the front door and killing a bunch of children.”

I think we should be looking hard at the pharm. industry.

The schools are major pharm pushers. They tried to get my kids on drugs. And they push vax like no tomorrow.

I don’t know what the schools or teachers get, but they must be getting some kind of kickback.

Harris’ “bound-to-fail” presidential campaign is being kept afloat by a pervasive and cynical media.
<><>she’s had her hands all over Biden’s three years of American decline,
<><>media obfuscation and outright lies will not make voters forget:
<><>Harris cast the crucial tie-breaking Senate vote
<><>she was responsible for two Biden plagues
<><>the sap-happily named “Inflation Reduction Act” and his moronic “American Rescue Plan,”
<><>she contributed to the runaway inflation that has made American families poorer
<><>she was completely incompetent on both issues, yet the media claims “she had no influence.”

I wonder if this school shooter was on ADHD meds.

I think we need to say that the same security we have for our schools should be used for our White House, Congress, and Presidential campaigns (unless they fund their own private security).

If “keeping guns out of the hands of criminals” works for schools it also works for the White House, Congress, and Presidential candidates.

Same thing with a wall. If a wall on our borders is no good, then so is any wall to protect our politicians.

If politicians were forced to live under the same conditions as they force the rest of us to live under, we’d finally get some decent laws.

They’re absolutely terrified. Problem is, the things they say they fear are all lies.

It is very troubling to me that the long-lasting full-court press maintained by government entities and rich elites is not seen by the public as a huge, HUGE red flag portending a totalitarian move against the American people. I guess the sheep can’t see the obvious.

I know. I am surprised at how few people see the corruption. I think they are used to being told what to think.

I’m currently living in Kentucky. Since Vance is from the Appalachian foothills in Ohio, he has some things in common with the people of Kentucky. Nevertheless, the local Fox News station has printed one story after another that bad-mouths Vance, basically saying, “He’s not one of us!” Because Kentucky is a very red state, I don’t think that will go over well.

More likely anti-anxiety or depression drugs. And smoking weed.
