President Trump will get more mileage mocking the lying media this term. They sure deserve it.

I still wonder how Biden is going to pardon himself.

The R’s should still hold hearings on all of this & refer him for prosecution. I know Biden will never go to jail, but his ill-gotten gains should be seized & applied to the debt, at the very least.

“They used to hide their bias better, layering it, making it less noticeable, or at the very least debatable regarding their true intentions. There was slightly more nuance, but that’s over.”

I have been saying this for many years, IMHO, it started after the Republican revolution in the 1994 election which Newt Gingrich engineered.

The old dominant Media knew they had become less effective. They started trading credibility for short term political gains, such as getting Clinton re-elected and stopping the Republican agenda put forward by Gingrich.

Eventually, even though it took 30 years, they ran out of credibility. A significant majority of the public no longer believes them. The outright lying got to the point they could not hide it. Alternative media became big enough people could find it in spite of the censorship.

Matt Vespa does a lot of writing-too much. Titles are too much click-bait.

I plead guilty for following him too closely.

We do need, however, the anonymity afforded by broadcast media and even distributed print media. They will be happy to destroy these in order to replace them with something traceable and censorable. This is why, I believe, Congress has allowed a globalist Internet to survive and thrive all these years.

What Americans do NOT need is a monopoly run out of New York City. It interferes with a freedom of the press. The New York Times building is a modern Tower of Babel. It should be limited to corrupt only the city of Gomorrah.

“ the pervasive lying the media does to cover for Democrats”

They’ve done that for a long time but it was cranked up to absurd and blatant levels of dishonesty after Trump won and moved in to outright censorship of any appeal to the truth or differing opinion.

It still is there and is moving to other less irrelevant media.

There's only one person who could make Biden "withdraw"...and that's Jill.

And I'll bet there's a non disclsure agreement between Jill and Kamala. This was effectively...a coup.

The media used to cover for Lenin and Stalin too.

Yes. And Mao, too.

But not all. And not lockstep like now.

Nope. Nancy Pelosi used the threat of the 25th Amendment to push Senile Joe out. It wasn’t subtle, it was a direct ultimatum.

And PuddinHead is still crowing about how he woulda won.

Totally delusional.

Election Night 1994 was truly one for the ages. I still gleefully recall the media talking heads consoling one another, trying to figure out what went wrong.

Trump should bar all members of the gaslight media from White House press briefings. Unless and until they admit all their individual lies, apologize for each, and pay fines (or serve time) for undeclared campaign contributions.

And it took them maybe and hour, to realize it wasn’t incumbents that were taking a beating nationwide in the House, but DEMONRAT incumbents.

It was like, “Huh, what? Oh crap, I didn’t notice THAT!”

I thought it was when Walter Cronkite lied about Tet in 1968.

I asked a friend, in his nineties about the subject, thinking in the days of Edward R. Murrow the news was reported without bias.

He laughed and said it was almost as bad then.

I have a complete collection of bound Harpers magazines from the first one in the 1840s to 1910.

I stopped with 1910 as their format changed to a lot of fluff and obvious leftist bias began to appear.

I expect that CNN and MSNBC will be in bankruptcy in the near future due to their minuscule audience and more people cutting their cable for streaming services that do not include either of these trash media. Perhaps Elon Musk will buy CNN for a fire sale price. I also look forward to The View going under.

—— there is no evidence -——

That’s the crux of the matter.

There is evidence but it exists beyond the reach of the American legal system. The evidence is unobtainable so in the legal sense, it does not exist. Since the evidence does not exist it logically legally follows that no crime was committed.

The fruits of the crime can not be identified and thus can’t be found. For that reason, Hillary Clinton purchases everything with a Master Card account that exists in a bank account belonging to a corporation C that is controlled by another corporation D. The balance due is automatically paid each month by the American branch of the off shore bank that owns the account controlled by Corporation C that is reimbursed monthly by funds from corporation D that exists in a totally different legal jurisdiction.
