How ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ became a swipe at Joe Biden — and national media

“So they’re also making fun of the mainstream media on this and their inaccuracy and spin that they’re putting on things. ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ is sort of a double message; they don’t like Biden, but they also don’t like the media,” he said.

The other thing the press misses in the split between liberals and conservatives is the humor, Sracic said. “People aren’t doing this necessarily in a mean-spirited way. It’s funny to them. It’s funny that a reporter misstated what people were saying about Joe Biden.”

The movement also exposes the differences felt by conservatives and liberals over the concept of government. Conservatives tend to think they don’t really need government and it is often something that just gets in the way, so they can laugh about it.

Progressives, on the other hand, see government as something people desperately need and cannot survive without.

“To them, people will die if the government doesn’t do certain things,” Sracic said.

Meanwhile, the national media overreacts to movements like “Let’s Go Brandon” — or simply underestimates them — because reporters don’t understand conservatives or their ideology.

“It is not their world. Let’s face it, most of the media comes from the same place or lives in the same part of the country, goes to the same in schools, goes through the same journalism programs, hangs out with the same people,” Sracic said. “So, of course, this doesn’t make any sense to them. It’s not within their frame or their worldview.”

And because the media doesn’t understand these small movements, they also miss the bigger signs pointing to a huge political shift — like when a billionaire from Queens wins a presidential race in a historic upset. And, very likely, a midterm election next year that could be very surprising.

If the fool on television would not have crafted that lie on the fly, this might have just blown over by now. It’s taken a on a life of its own.

By the way, have all videos of how this came to be been eradicated from the Internet yet?

I was going to write a book once: “This Joke Is Funny Because . . . .” Why bother when the MSM writes it for us every day.

“It is not their world. Let’s face it, most of the media comes from the same place or lives in the same part of the country, goes to the same in schools, goes through the same journalism programs, hangs out with the same people,”

Batya Ungar-Sargon, a columnist for Newsweek (of all places), wrote a book about how woke the media is getting and why it's terrible for this country. She pointed out that journalism used to be a blue-collar profession with reporters living in the communities they wrote about. That is certainly no longer the case with most journalists sticking to large, very Democratic urban centers like a tick on a dog.

This is why they mock conservatives and "fly over country". We're alien to them.

Samizdat = literally "self-published"

How underground information was circulated during the USSR years.

Oh, Oh, Oh, I know this one. A member of the "national media"(hey is that like State run media?) disgraced herself and her field by trying to turn the F Joe Biden chant into Let's go Brandon to try and cover for her comrades in the regime.

Liberals don't have it, conservatives do.

Exactly, this video also shows the bias in the media in trying to cover up what was actually said about Biden.

I don’t need anyone to tell me why it is what it is.

The media lied about what the crowd was yelling, and self-owned as idiots at the same time.

Check and Mate!

Let’s Go!........ Brandon.
