Let's Celebrate the Death of the Mainstream Media
Townhall ^ | 18 May 2015 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 05/18/2015 11:26:20 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Picking on the mainstream media is easier than offending radical feminists, and almost as much fun, but just because it’s barely a challenge doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it. We should. We must.

All decent, patriotic Americans yearn for the day when the effects of emerging technologies combine with the mainstream media’s insufferable progressive cheerleading to finally destroy it. Its death throes are underway, but it won’t buy the farm overnight. The body of the mainstream media is still shambling along, wreaking havoc, long after it its brain has died. So we need to put down the mainstream media like we would any other mindless zombie.

If we made a show about it, we could call it The Lying, Lame, Liberal-Licking Dead.

Maybe it’s cruel to look at all these doomed liberals who worked their way up to the middle ranks of the media and laugh. Maybe it’s petty to smile when yet another newsroom announces yet another round of lay-offs. Maybe it’s just plain mean to point out that Newsweek sold for what I earned in under twenty minutes charbroiling Famous Star cheeseburgers at the Carl’s, Jr., in Foster City, California, back in 1981. Maybe I can help out these soon-to-be unemployed reporters with some hints about how to make fries.

when you own education, who cares about the media?

it galls me to recall the things my children heard in public school.

one of a million examples- among people they honored in a hallway display during black history month was Hillary Clinton. I believe she was a senator at the time. More amazing than Hillary’s presence- was an astounding absence. This was during Condoleeza Rice’s tenure as SOS. Black history month with a nod toward Hillary and snub of Condi!! Can you even pretend to be objective after pulling a stunt like that?

"They—ABC at least—are digging their own grave."

I pray that they are and that a growing public awareness spells humiliation and doom for all these scurrilous bastards in the leftist media.




"Check the transcript, Candy"


I just happen to have that exact quote right here Mr. President!


Everything my President said is true, Mr. Romney. And everything you said is a blatant lie and I am required to let the American people know.

NEENER, NEENER, NEENER, you big fat racist!!!

I look forward to Kurt’s column every Monday. I don’t always agree with him, but he’s always interesting.
