#DarkSpeechesMatter

It should come as no surprise that the news media is a colluding source of pure propaganda in modern America. To reinforce the idea, please examine the following headlines and see if you can spot the similarity:

• New York Times: His Tone Dark, Donald Trump Takes G.O.P. Mantle -- By PATRICK HEALY and JONATHAN MARTIN -- JULY 21, 2016
• Boston Globe: The dark, frightening America of Donald Trump> -- By Michael A. Cohen -- JULY 22, 2016
• Chicago Tribune: Fact-checking Donald Trump's convention speech: A dark vision based on specious stats -- By Glenn Kessler, Michelle Ye Hee Lee -- July 21 9:09PM
• Politico: Trump and the Dark Art of Bad Publicity -- By MICHAEL KRUSE July 21, 2016
• From Newsbusters: Networks on Trump: A ‘Dark Speech’ From a ‘Vengeful’ ‘Demagogue’ The three networks on Thursday night immediately derided Donald Trump’s “dark speech” as one coming from a “vengeful” “demagogue.” Chuck Todd labeled, “I thought it was an extraordinarily dark speech.” On ABC, George Stephanopoulos, a former Democratic operative, echoed his colleague Chuck Todd: “He [Trump] painted a dark picture of where America stands today.” For emphasis, Stephanopoulos repeated, “And Martha Raddatz, a pretty dark speech.”
• USA Today: It was a dark and stormy Trump convention: Our view --
• Slate: The Dark, Resentful Voice Behind Trump’s RNC Speech -- By Jim Newell -- JULY 22 2016 12:58 AM
• Rolling Stone: Donald Trump Delivers Dark, Fear-Mongering RNC Speech -- By Tessa Stuart --3 hours ago

You can be forgiven, dear reader, if the similarity you spotted was that the news was delivered in an unabashedly biased, anti-Trump, utterly unfair manner in which the headlines bore no resemblance whatsoever to the speech we heard.

But that is not the point I was trying to demonstrate. It is the repetitive use of the word ‘dark’ in the headlines and the utterances of the media shills. It is so pervasive, that it can be deduced that there was collusion, and that the media gathered together to agree upon some theme that would damage Trump the most.

Apparently they settled on the word ‘dark’, and most probably well before the Trump speech was delivered or the contents even known.

Some time back, there was a leaked scandal that media collusion was real, and that more than 400 journalists would gather at a secret forum called ‘JournOList’, in which they would hash out the prevailing news meme of the day.

If this is not propaganda, what is?

The news media has abandoned even the pretense of being unbiased, and now engages in full-throated left-wing propaganda from every channel and every source.

It is time to break up the left-wing monopoly over the press. I suggest the use of Antitrust laws.

There is an unholy alliance that is directed at Donald Trump, and it is unfair, collusive, and obvious. This cannot stand, after all, #DarkSpeechesMatter.

“Lib” friend.

Oh, I also think the race card is invalid. I definitely agree with that.

But I think in describing Trump’s speech as dark, the media is revealing itself to be racist.

They are saying that which is dark is inherently evil.

Awesome work, Laz.

Rush is talking about “dark”. You beat him to it...he is using your talking points. LOL!

Considering the broad spectrum of issues addressed, each with reference to demonstrable--and indeed, even to the unconvinced on any item, certainly arguable--factual narratives; the collusion as to the "dark" adjective certainly reveals a lot about the Leftist mentality.

Of course, it is no secret at Free Republic, that Leftist media types, as Leftist academic types, simply cannot handle reality. Reality is perceived as the enemy. And it is in that bizarre perception that we have them. The counter to their fantasy world must always put observable reality into play. (It is like using garlic or a crucifix against a vampire.) Always work observable reality into the argument; and watch them cringe, trying to escape it.

Rush needs to hat-tip Laz!

[Freedom56v2]

I guess it is; I failed my Political Correctness Class :(

[Lazamataz]

YAY! I fed Rush!

[Lazamataz]

I’d be happy to sub for Rush any time. I have a golden Radio Voice, as anyone who has talked to me will attest.

[Stand Watch Listen]

One only has to revisit the 2000 campaign wherein the term "gravitas" was instantly spoken by very diverse newsreaders.

Dark/demagogue/dystopia are yesterdays examples of the central 'Pravda' command issuing talking points to their puppets.

[Lazamataz]

Hey Rush, if you want to hat tip me without naming me by name, just mention the #DarkSpeechesMatter hashtag. It’s funny, and it can be our leetle code. :)

Thanks, Onyx. I was about to suggest the same.

Great post, Laz! Thank you.

[Lazamataz]

Well, I shall never ‘Tweet’ as long as I shall live; however, during my job search, I have to keep my facebook links private. :)

[Freedom56v2]

LOL

May I link this thread on my FB page?

[angelrod]

Exactly! Who issued the order to use Dark? I would love for their “code” to be broken so they can be exposed as the propagandists they are.

[Lazamataz]

Of course!!!!

[HiTech RedNeck]

“Dark” is raciss!
