The Collapse Of 'Real' Media Credibility (In 3 Simple Images)
ZeroHedge ^ | December 7, 2016

Posted on 12/07/2016 9:45:08 PM PST by Zakeet

Two words - "nailed it"

What a difference 4 months makes ... From Meltdown to Total Meltdown to Man Of The Year ...

As FoxNews notes however, while President-elect Donald Trump was named Time magazine's Person of the Year on Wednesday, the honor basically ended there.

While describing Trump as the real change-maker of 2016, the magazine also ragged on the Republican president-elect as a "huckster" and "demagogue" while reserving its most glowing praise for runner-up Hillary Clinton -- whom the edition breathlessly described as "an American Moses."

In describing Trump, Time's article almost exclusively used backhanded compliments. For instance, while the piece said he "did what no American politician had attempted in a generation," it added that he "magnified the divisions of the present, inspiring new levels of anger and fear within his country."

...

The article on Hillary Clinton is much different. Subtitled "The winner of the popular vote leaves a complicated legacy," the tone is worlds away from the fulminating darkness that permeates the Trump piece.

The opening paragraph reads more like the prologue of St. John’s Gospel than an essay on a presidential runner-up, saying of Clinton: "she became a symbol in a fight that was about much more than symbolism."

"She's the woman who was almost President, she is what might have been and what will yet be."

"Like an American Moses, she was an imperfect prophet, leading women to the edge of the Promised Land. Now it's up to another woman to enter it."

The big question is, will TIME name Putin 'Man of the Year' in 2017?

How many times do we have to prove them wrong until they finally get it?

The MSM lives in a total fantasy world.

The whole enterprise has dissolved into a self-indulgent joke.

As Rush Limbaugh has said for years, if they didn’t make you, they don’t own you.

Perhaps a corollary is: if they tried to destroy you and you won anyway, you own them.

The idea that fifteen globalist Leftists sitting in Washington picking the “person of the Year” should be mocked mercilessly.

“The big question is, will TIME name Putin ‘Man of the Year’ in 2017?”

No actually, the really big question is will TIME still be around in 2017? We haven’t taken it for 40 years, but I do see a copy now and again in the doctors or dentists office. The damned thing is so thin you could wipe your a$$ with it! A mere shadow of what it was when there was also a companion publication LIFE.

Yeah, and like Moses, she got all uppity (”why aren’t I 50 points ahead???”). Her punishment was, alas, not to be allowed to enter the Promised Land. Instead, a younger Joshuette will have to be annointed to complete the journey to Progressive Utopia.

Bizarre how the idiot Chritian-bashing libs resort to Biblical analogies to bestow validity on certain events. What’s up with that?

I was never keenly into the idea of prosecuting Hillary. But after Jill and Hill’s attempt to steal the election, after “American Moses,” maybe it would it is time to put this Bxtch down.

Those eye glasses he wears were really of no help to him at all. He remained blinded by his light, fumbling around and not seeing anything clearly. Eight years of fumbling and stumbling; it was expected he would land face down and bruised.

Well, time sure wasn’t watching the same election run up that I witnessed. Time wanted everyone to vote for a Marxist criminal traitor instead of a true American patriot.

We’ll never prove them wrong because they won’t believe us. They have to be the ones to suffer from their own mistakes before they’ll begin to understand the truth.

Why, because she is wandering around in a wilderness now?

Yep. Moses threw the tablets when he came down from the mountain.
Hillary threw ashtrays.
