Members of the mainstream media still are having a hard time understanding that the old days in which they could get away with pretending to be journalists, not propagandists, are fading into memory. Donald Trump called their bluff, Wikileaks exposed the level of conspiracy between Democrat leaders and journalists propagandists, and the American people confounded the media and supported Trump and Republicans down the ticket.
Nobody is taking better advantage of the new relationship between journalists propagandists and the voting public than Tucker Carlson. I have to say that I am highly impressed with the way he is taking on the shibboleths of lefty journalists propagandists in his new role as host of an eponymous Tucker Carlson Tonight, replacing On The Record with Greta van Susteren in the 7 PM time slot on Fox News Channel. I now faithfully record every new show, and watch for Tucker unsheathing his critical mind and challenging the blatant bias of guests who think the old rules still apply.
Yesterday, in his first segment of the show, Carlson took on Jonathan Allen, a columnist for Roll Call, who published an attack on Jeff Sessions (written prior to his nomination for AG) that, in Carlson’s words, was “one of the most unfair things I’ve ever read…almost like a pure download from the DNC website.”
Prior to the last couple of months, this could be written off by Allen’s MSM buddies as hyperbole. But in the wake of Wikileaks proving that coordination between the bigwigs of the left and media is quite real, and so common that nobody in the Wikileaks emails ever mentions any qualms about conspiring against the public to corrupt journalism.

Hillary said a marriage “is between a man and a woman”. So isn’t hillary a bigot applying the same test?
And, stories galore about the high “cost of living”.
You and me both. It irritates the crud out of me that even the spokespeople on “our side” can’t ever seem to call the left out on their double standards with things like this-ie, you blame Trump for the the endorsement of the KKK! so we blame Hussein for the Black Panthers’ endorsement. And I haven’t seen anybody in sheets and pointy hoods swinging billy clubs and threatening whites in front of polling places, but we sure did see the BP with their goofy quasi-military get-up doing that, and nary a peep from the DOJ for doing it, even though there’s video proof.
Yep. But they will have to wait a bit (unless they’re really as shameless as I think they are) to start running the stories about a bad economy, since they’ve been proclaiming for almost 8 years about how the economy is just peachy, under Obola.
I still miss Greta but my appreciation of Tucker is growing.
Yep ...
The leftys in the MSM know full well they are lying, making up “the news”, and printing DNC talking points.
Don’t think for a minute they are naive or stupid. They know exactly what they are doing.
I will see your Tucker Carlson as Press Secretary and raise you one:
Corey Lewandowski.
Jonathan Allen,
The continuous “gaslighting” and smearing and obfuscation is EXACTLY why Trump won! Rather than debate the real issues, you attack the messenger. Usual Dem tactics.
But I guess it might be alright considering how you attacked the other senator, former KKK Kleagle, Robert Byrd(D), when he was in the Senate...oh, wait.
Very good!!
I saw this, and I was quite pleased at how T.C. wouldn’t let up on the liar, it was really nice to see that. It’s a start.
The knuckledraggers will be left behind for sure. I still hold out hope that some will be persuaded not by what they hear so much as by what they see coming out of a Trump administration.
“’Some say’ is one of their favorites.”
True dat. Our side needs to get in the habit of firing back, “Who says? Name the people who are saying this.”
It will be hilarious when they’re forced to admit it really WAS just the guy in the next cubicle!
I used to work in media, and you’ve really nailed it. That kind of thing is all too common.
I watch Lou Dobbs in that time slot. Sorta like it over at his show.
