“News” Media Stuck On Stupid, As They Circle The Drain To Oblivion
The GOP establishment tried to destroy Trump via innuendo and hyped-up falsehoods during the 2016 primaries. Their Big Smear Guns failed to dent Trump. In fact, those attacks may have given Trump a huge boost in the eye of the average voter looking for an outsider who will charge the gates of the Political Industrial Complex (PIC).
During the general election the Democrats, the #NeverTrumpers and the “News” media went “all in” to stop Trump from entering the PIC and undoing all their efforts and reversing their ill gotten gains. They trashed him in any and all forms they could imagine (most fictional – all the rest exaggerated)
These attacks fired up the massive number of voters who are “sick and tired of elites”. The thinking was “the elites are scared, so Trump must be real”. The denizens of the PIC did not restrict their anger, vitriol and violence against Trump. No, they went after Trump voters! And thus was born the American grass-roots antibody to the corruption of our age: Les Deplorables:
A member of the “News” media – who did not vote for Trump – came out today begging his industry to return to its core values and integrity, lest it destroy itself financially. His commentary is painfully accurate for the losers in this election. Read the whole thing, every paragraph is a gem of insight. Here are some key excerpts:
Nevertheless, a word of neighborly advice to our more genteel media friends , the ones who sit at the high table in their pristine white dinner jackets and ball gowns. You’ve been barfing all over yourselves for a week and a half, and it’s revolting to watch.
…
In 2016, the media didn’t even pretend it wasn’t working in Hillary Clinton’s interests. The blue whale of information, The New York Times, virtually signaled to the journalistic universe that it was time to abandon all pretense of objectivity in a now-notorious front-page column on Aug. 8 that advised journalists “you have to throw out the textbook American journalism has been using for the better part of the past half-century” and “move closer than you’ve ever been to being oppositional.” If that result “may not always seem fair to Mr. Trump or his supporters,” tough tiddly-winks, Times columnist Jim Rutenberg concluded.
…
For the good of us all, though, and in the interest of rebuilding the wreckage of its reputation, the media should go back to having gradations of outrage. Switching transition chairmen isn’t the Saturday Night Massacre, and going out for a steak without telling the hacks isn’t on a par with, say, deleting 33,000 e-mails.
Unfortunately, the double standard continues unabated. The “News” media continues to think the Big Smear Guns that so spectacularly failed during the election season are going to somehow work during Trump’s first term. Personally I say “please, continue” … until you have completely imploded and you are no more believable than the person on the street corner with the sign “the end of the world is nigh”!

Of course, right on queue the unhinged media dribbled out another round of their anti-Trump bile:
I keep hearing calls for empathy and healing, civility and polite discourse. As if supporting a man who would fill his administration with white nationalists and misogynists is something to simply agree to disagree on.
Absolutely not. You don’t get to vote for a person who brags about sexual assault and expect that the women in your life will just shrug their shoulders. You don’t get to play the victim when people unfriend you on Facebook, as if being disliked for supporting a bigot is somehow worse than the suffering that marginalized people will endure under Trump. And you certainly do not get to enjoy a performance by people of color and those in the LGBT community without remark or protest when you enact policies and stoke hatred that put those very people’s lives in danger.
Being socially ostracized for supporting Trump is not an infringement of your rights, it’s a reasonable response by those of us who are disgusted, anxious, and afraid.
Notice this lunatic has a “right” to insult, commit libel and harass her fellow citizens so she can feel better. BTW, a vast majority of the women I know hated Hillary – too bad the “News” media missed that tiny factoid. The rest of the women were knee-jerk liberals.
The author’s premise is as off target as her anger is (fed by a serious streak of insecurity). Les Delporables are not whimpering or whining about the unhinged liberals – like this piece of work. We could care less. I am not going to lose any sleep over this person’s emotional struggles. I only point her out to use her as a foil to illustrate the obvious.
See how it feels to have your core values thrown into the dirt by society?
The fact is, Trump supporters are not attacking minorities. And this misogyny thing has become so stupid we had a young male Clinton emoti-bot accuse our teenage daughters of being misogynists for supporting Trump. Engaging your brain during a hate-based-meltdown is a tough thing to do apparently.
What these people are doing is marginalizing themselves. No one has to take serious what is clearly the KKK of the left. The KKK think like this person does, branding groups they don’t understand as evil and dangerous and not worth basic respect, let alone the right to hold their own beliefs. Intimidation and violence is called for – of course. Thus the violent riots, the beatings of individuals, the attempt to destroy reputations. All fair game to someone who hates like the KKK hates.
It is strange how some people become the very thing they despise. How a victim feels empowered to become the abuser for vengeance. How else do these mavens of “safe places” violate the very premise of such concepts?
First off, Les Deplorables by definition have been battling the vitriol, violence and hate of liberal small minds for years. We don’t need safe spaces because we have spines, values and honor that no one can badger out of us. We don’t need riots, we don’t need to beat up the opposition, we don’t need to resort to hate. We have convictions.
We don’t need to because our cause is worthy and is shared by so many diverse people it is clear the cause is not driven by race, religion or sex, but by economic hardship.Trump did better among Hispanics, Blacks, minorities, women, etc than Romney and McCain.
Trump is just a symbol, not the end of this tale. The quiet and determined Trump voters – who, by-the-way swept the Democrats out of all levels of political office for the last 4 election cycles beginning in 2010 – did not cower during the primaries or during the general election. They did not lash out.
They quietly went to the voting booth and overturned the corrupt Political Industrial Complex. See, you should not be angry or hurt or violent if you want to lead (this is the Hitler model of course). You should be rationale, insightful and empathetic to the suffering of your neighbors.
I am not religious (spiritual, yes – but I do not belong to any “religion), but occasionally the Bible has a gem of an insight:
Luke 16:19-26English Standard Version (ESV)
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side.[a] The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.
Greed at the expense of your neighbors, family or coworkers is not an admirable trait. The top 5%, the wealthiest of this great nation, should enjoy their riches and stop messing with the lives, aspirations and opportunities of the rest of us. You don’t have enough years to spend your money, so be grateful, sit down – and shut up.
We can work the rest out on our own
, for ourselves. And please, take your hate-filled minions with you.
