Scott Jennings: Trump Victory An Indictment Of The Political Information Complex, The Stories Portrayed By Media Were Not True
RealClearPolitics ^ | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 11/07/2024 3:06:06 AM PST by RoosterRedux

CNN's Scott Jennings reacted to President Donald Trump's election victory early on Wednesday, telling the CNN panel that voters stood up and said "enough."

SCOTT JENNINGS, CNN: I'm interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of just the regular old working class American, the anonymous American who has been crushed, insulted, condescended to. They're not garbage. They're not Nazis.

They're just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids, and they feel like they have been told to just shut up when they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives.

...

We were told Puerto Rico was going to change the election, Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley voters, women lying to their husbands. Before that, it was Tim Walz and the camo hats. Night after night after night, we were told all these things and gimmicks were going to somehow push Harris over the line, and we were just ignoring the fundamentals.

...

It turns out there's more to being president than simply not being Donald Trump in the eyes of the American people. I'm a little worried about how Democrats are going to react. They've been told Trump is a modern-day Hitler, or at least he's a fascist, and now Kamala Harris, I suspect, is going to have to wake up in the morning and concede to that person.

I'm a little concerned about an election in which half the country was conditioned to believe that the person who just won the national popular vote is going to be a dictator, eliminate the Constitution, and create a bloodbath, and so on and so forth. We have to reckon with that in the aftermath of that argument.

I saw a clip of some woman sobbing uncontrollably. Gasping for air, she said “I’ll be OK. I’m white. But some of my friends are black! I have no idea what’s going to happen to them!!”

I’m wondering — does she think Trump wants to scoop up all of the African Americans, put them in chains, and send them out into the fields to pick cotton?

This is what the media does to people’s brains.

All misdirection, misinformation and narrative.

18 million voters “showed up” for FJB that never presented ever before.

We NEED an committee to go find those voters.
Start with the 2020 election results, then go find the missing 18 million-stat!

County maps are very deceptive.

#TDS is real, and the fake media is a major cause of it. I encountered it when out canvassing for Trump. I got the guy calmed down and quickly exited his porch, but it was something else. He was immediately raging. “NO I’M NOT VOTING FOR TRUMP, THAT GUY IS CRAZY!” Dude, look at yourself, was what I wanted to say.

Unfortunately for the Left, their mass media is failing to convince an increasing percentage of the American population of their propaganda. Until this decade, the main conservative dissent media was talk radio. The rise of podcasts and alt-right media has changed the playing field. The decision by Elon Musk to purchase Twitter was a game changer. Until that time, Big Tech had colluded with the Deep State to deplatform or bury conservative dissent. With Twitter/X no longer "curating" dissent, the attempt to monopolize the market for ideas failed. Several long time conservative figures who came to prominence through Fox or talk radio like Tucker Carlson abandoned the older media where they were partially censored for podcasting. Carlson and others like Joe Rogan developed audiences that eclipsed talk radio and many of the stalwarts of that field also had podcasts.

The media landscape changed in this decade and the old line TV networks, the "prestige" press, and the entertainment industry were swamped.

Looks like Harris won the coastal elites, some state capitals, university towns, and Native American reservations. The rest of the country went for Trump.

Brainwashing propaganda media is the #1 enemy of the people. We will never get our Republic back until this psyop machine is somehow reined in. Immediately...

One of those videos had a woman discussing their “escape plans” to leave the country.

They have to get the leftist censorship algorithms out of social media. Musk did that to a large extent with X although there’s a fair amount of residual leftist censorship. Now it’s Zuckeeface’s turn.
As long as people can see the policies, unfiltered from the left and right, we will have good governance.
The dinosaurs of the old media are simply dieing out.

The vast MSM are major cool aid drinks! They believe their propaganda, hook line and sinker. The sinkers important, because now the mainstream media is sunk in the eyes of the American public.

Only to people who don't know how to read a map.

Social media is not the only problem. That is only censorship. I am talking about all the newspapers and TV media that pump out brainwashing lies. There are people committing suicide all over the country right now because of the brainwashing lies the media has put out about how bad Trump is.
