In the poker world, going "on tilt" means a player has just lost a significant hand, or the past several hands, and is now making reckless, overly aggressive moves to compensate for his losses. Other skilled players immediately recognize the "on tilt" player, especially if his body language gives him away. They in turn exploit his frustration by "leaning" on him (i.e., betting in a manner that psychologically disorients him), which in turn can cause him to play even more irrationally if he is unable to get his emotions under control.
This week, the mainstream media went on full tilt.
Their big bet was the Mueller investigation. That was supposed to be the easy payoff. But they lost half their chips when Mueller nailed his live audition before Congress for the lead role in Forrest Gump 2: Senility Is as Senility Does. So they doubled down on Ukraine and impeachment. But to their befuddlement, not only has President Trump survived impeachment, but he has risen from its wreckage stronger, with better poll numbers among independents in swing states, and with a House defection to the Republicans.
Now, the media are one bad bet away from flipping over the poker table. They're lashing out, going all in on trying to wrench a straight flush out of whatever seven-two unsuited garbage they're dealt. They're in full tantrum mode, and they aren't even trying to hide it. In desperation, they're turning again to their one overused and transparent bluff: racism!

The Democrat Party garbage bin, media, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc. are totally lost at sea!!! They have nary a clue as to reality!!! Each passing day...they sink a bit lower, drowning in their own created “Fake News” cesspool!!!
And,...truthfully Fox News is not far behind, with “Hate Trump Folks” like “Low Life” Chris Wallace, Neil Cavuto, etc., spewing their hate and lies every day!!! I do not blame them...I blame the FNC Management folks, Like traitor/turncoat, Paul Ryan who handed political control of the present House to Nancy Pelosi...while POTUS, Trump secured a political lock on the USA Senate!!!
The so-called “mainstream media” has LOST the trust of the majority of the American people & may NEVER regain their trust to be FAIR or even basically HONEST ever again.

Don't they understand they've been doing this for so long nobody cares but their own nutburger base?
Collusion and active conspiring with Traitors can have the same penalty.

Leftists destroy institutions to gain power
They are digging their own graves.
Watch them try to turn the movie Bombshell into the nextbig thing. I watched it and compared it to Queen & Slim and Richard Jewell.
All 3 are about abuse of power. In 2 movies the involuntary sector, the government, abuses its power aid and abetted by the media.
In Bombshell the abuse of power in a voluntary relationship where those seeking power, fame, money are willing to voluntarily do things they later regret.
Watch and see if the media coverage makes a distinction between voluntary and involuntary.
BTW the acting, directing, story defelopment is far inferior in Bombshell than in the other two. Its like the actresses are saying:
But for a position at Fox it is different than for a Harvey Weinstein film.
100% TRUE but how will, the DIMs ever recover W/O a “trusted national media” running interference for them & constantly promoting their utterly dishonest nonsense??

Plus, I don't think the Hollywood elites have forgiven Eastwood for criticizing Obama. It's just that he's such a damn fine director . .
I hope you’re right
