As Trump nears GOP nomination, elitist media again treats American voters like they’re stupid – it’s 2016 all over again (MICHAEL GOODWIN)

Forget the calendar. When it comes to media coverage of Donald Trump, it’s 2016 all over again.

Proving they remain infected by a fact-resistant virus, most members of the self-proclaimed smart set are once again horrified by GOP voters. Repeating the contempt they displayed when Trump won the nomination and the White House eight years ago, they are also furious that their nightmare could be happening again.

How can it be that their fellow Americans remain so stupid after they’ve repeatedly explained Trump’s flaws? Why do voters refuse to listen to their media masters?

The New York Times certainly doesn’t have any qualms about looking down on middle America and the people who live there.

“The responsibility of Republican voters,” it declared in a Sunday editorial, is “to nominate a candidate who is fit to serve as president.”

Trump, the Gray Lady insisted, “is manifestly unworthy.”

This is the same Times that, after the 2016 election, apologized to readers because its reporters and editors underestimated Trump’s appeal. This time the paper sees the appeal, but refuses to recognize it as anything other than a mass movement of the ignorant.

One thing is different than in 2016.

After all of the covid nonsense a lot more people see that the Mockingbird Media is Fake News.
Gaslighting propagandists.

“Perhaps admitting that Russia, Russia, Russia was nothing more than a Hillary Clinton dirty trick, and that the FBI was in on the scam would be a good first step in regaining some of that lost trust.”

The Soros paid propaganda machine would have to admit to other big lies to regain trust:

1) Obama is a Islamic communist mole planted to undermine America
2. Covid was a premeditated bio attack on Trump’s reelection
3) The 2020 election was stolen.
4) J6 was a Reichstag Fire deep state operation.
4) The Democrat Party is Red China front.

Some of them refused to air Trump’s victory speech in Iowa. They continue to damage their credibility and it’s self inflicted.

The Mockingbird Media has never had my trust so “regaining” it is not even possible.

Listing all of their lies would require listing their daily content for the last fifty years.

Thank you for referencing that article Kaiser8408a.

"Escape From New York And LA! NY, California And Illinois Seeing Net Out-migration Due To High Taxes/Regulations, Crime And High Housing Costs (Moving To Florida, Texas And The Carolinas)"


Patriots, whenever you hear from your friends and relatives (don't listen to corrupt media) living in other states that have violence and high prices, don't hesitate to elect new state and federal lawmakers for your own "perfect" state.

After all, when any US city is falling apart, it means that the corrupt, political party-owned lawmakers that you keep reelecting for your own state for unknown reasons are not making a difference with respect to the federal Congress doing its constitutionally enumerated duty to guarantee each state a republican form of government.

That being said, Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to immediately primary ALL incumbent state and federal lawmakers up for reelection this year (YOU'RE FIRED!), except for MTG, Gaetz & Company (and others?), and replace them with patriot lawmakers who will support hopeful Trump 47 to finish draining the swamp.
