Dr. Camille Paglia: Democrats Are Colluding With The Media to Create Chaos
Washington Examiner ^ | May 18 2017 ast | by Emily Jashinsky

Posted on 05/19/2017 11:14:18 AM PDT by drewh

Camille Paglia is much more worried about the media than about the steady string of Trump-related scandals they claim to be uncovering.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Paglia excoriated the press for its coverage of Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey and his alleged sharing of classified information with Russian officials.

Fresh off a spirited panel with Christina Hoff Sommers hosted by the Independent Women's Forum, the iconic feminist dissident, who serves as a professor of media studies at the University of the Arts, accused journalists of colluding with the Democratic Party in an effort to damage the Trump administration.

"Democrats are doing this in collusion with the media obviously, because they just want to create chaos," she said when asked to comment on the aforementioned stories. "They want to completely obliterate any sense that the Trump administration is making any progress on anything."

The popular author, whose latest book was released in March, pointed to early struggles experienced by previous presidential administrations to illustrate the media's bias against Trump. "Obama's administration for the first six months was chaos," Paglia recalled. "Bill Clinton's was chaos for six months. Nobody holds that against a new person."

"Those two guys had actually been politicians!" she continued, noting Trump's relative inexperience with government operations.

Paglia's assessment of media bias in the Trump era leaves little room for optimism. "I am appalled at the behavior of the media," she declared. "It's the collapse of journalism."

As the Examiner reported in April, Paglia, who cast her ballot for Jill Stein last November, is predicting Trump will win re-election in 2020. "I feel like the Democrats have overplayed their hand," she said at the time.

Though the news cycle has moved through plenty of additional scandals in the past month, it appears as though Paglia's assessment of the president's prospects has not changed.

"I'm looking forward to voting Democrat again," the acclaimed philosopher explained. "But the point is I feel that the media has so utterly lost its credibility that I think people are going to vote against the media again."

People who are actively seeking to destroy our President via treachery and lies do NOT deserve the protection of the rule of law or the law of common decency....at some point we have to start oiling the torches and making sure the ropes are sturdy.

I’m thinking Louise Mensch, she’s a former member of the British Parliament.

She accused Bernie Sanders of being a Russian agent and Trump as well:

C. Paglia and D. Kucinich are two “on the dark side” who frequently see the truth and aren’t afraid to talk about it. It’s nice to know that some honest people over there exist.

Big Media is the propaganda arm of the National Socialist DemocRAT Party ... technically it’s not collusion.
