It’s another game of catch-up for the media and yet another painful reminder for them why scores of Americans are flocking to other sources for news because they cannot be trusted. It’s why some media heads are ranting about the 2024 election, Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, and the proliferation of streamers and podcasts. They’re losing control, and they know it. Even Kamala Harris’ operatives admitted that legacy media isn’t what it used to be regarding voter reach and influence.
Also, the pervasive lying the media does to cover for Democrats, specifically Joe Biden, has been one of the overt operations in recent memory. 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.
Most CNN and MSNBC segments read like they’re coming out of the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, and law professor Jonathan Turley, who is not a conservative, even noted the legacy media took another broadside hit with the National Archives releasing old photos of Joe Biden and Hunter with their supposed business associates in China. These are the people Joe had never met or even heard of, and we all knew that this was a lie.
Like Sonny Corleone shot up in The Godfather, the media’s death was a prolonged and bloody event, a death by a thousand cuts. Yet, the Russian collusion, the burying of Biden’s dealings, the Hunter Biden laptop, and the smokescreen concerning the president’s mental health might be the four big stories that shredded the media’s credibility. The photos obliterated one of the final fake narratives about Biden, so please, establishment press, learn from this because no one cares about your standing anymore (via Jonathan Turley):
Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley The media is still struggling to ignore the corruption of the Biden scandal by insisting that there is no evidence Joe Biden directly received money: ABBY PHILLIP: “I’m still waiting to see the proof of Joe Biden enriching himself. I take his brother and his son, perhaps.”......It is not only factually wrong but legally irrelevant. As I stated in my testimony in the Biden impeachment hearing, enriching your family is treated the same under corruption statutes...
SNIP
Why would Elon Musk even consider buying an archaic cable relic that has no real reason to exist in a streaming world.
CNN was. X is and will be
This is the same media that covered up Biden’s utter incompetence and dementia - which they well knew about on Biden’s first day in office.
What they also fail to understand is Trump won the popular vote along with the electoral college - Trump supporters are sick and tired of how the media disparage, insult and tear apart Trump every chance they get.
I hope Biden does pardon himself. That will set a precedent for Trump to pardon himself, if needed.
It may blow up in their faces, but don’t expect the media to change. Tagline is still accurate.
I remember the talking point when George W. Bush won re-election in 2004: “They voted against their own interests!”
The media have been biased in one manner or another since our founding, when various newspapers were quite partisan, but nowadays, of course, the bias is mainly in one direction: Communist.
It's all coincidence. Deep fakes, Ai genenerated mumbly mumblypeg. No really folks, no joke.
“Why would Elon Musk even consider buying“..MSNBC?
Because FNC is the voice of the GOPe and they are the only major “news” channel that is not a rat tool. If Musk bought MSNBC and made it an actual right leaning news channel it would absolutely dominate the ratings within 4 months.
The media is still aiding and abetting democrat corruption it will never end they have endless supply of stories of why 1984 lifestyle is a good thing and the democrats are the only ones who can rule it.
Do the Opposite of what The New York Times advocates and viola, best policy for the country.
Agree the New York Post is the only paper in NY is worth reading.
