I don’t know why the media is at war with America.
Because the MSM is really in its own “cocooned leftist elitist world” apart from the majority of the general public. And the total general public is also separated into various groups, depending upon the political ideologies of each group (leftist, moderate, libertarian, conservative, authoritarian, and apolitical-Am I missing anybody else politically? Sorry if I missed any other political groups.).
In part, because they can. Conservatives need to make sacrifices to force the liberal media into bankruptcy. Many of my neighbors who should know better continue to subscribe to the local newspaper, paying the salaries of people who hate everything that conservatives believe in.
People in the media are like professors; they’ve never done anything but take classes, read books, take exams, and write. They’ve never done anything that required them to get their hands dirty or mix with people who don’t value thoughts and ideas above making things work - people who actually take repsonsibility for keeping the wheels of society rolling. This makes them feel very inadequate as human beings and they “overcompensate” by cultivating feelings of superiority over their working neighbors. They don’t hate America - at least, that’s not their main agenda; they just feel compelled to derogate anyone who can work with his hands or take responsibility for making things happen.
It’s the same with the anti-gunners; they feel frightened of firearms because they’ve never handled one, and so they want to take them away from everyone else in order to cultivate a specious feeling of superiority.
It’s all phony-baloney, but they have a lot of influence because of their highly visible position in society. Same for actors and Hollywood types; they’ve never done anything but parrot lines fed them by directors, and, at bottom, they feel foolish to be doing something so inconsequential. Thus, they overcompensate by attempting to cultivate feelings of importance. It’s a losing proposition, of course, because they live in a fantasy world as a career, but they try anyway.
Lawyers are similar, in some ways, and, let’s face it, most of our senators and congressmen are lawyers. All these people put on airs to conceal the fact that they feel so insignificant. Don’t get me started...
