Everybody’s read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, right? The mainstream media today reminds me of the marketing department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, which Douglas Adams described as “a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.”
Okay, so maybe the “against the wall” bit was a little harsh, but “mindless jerks” is right on the money. The mainstream media have forgotten what their jobs are: to report the news. Instead, the media have been acting as the marketing department for the Democratic Party. And the phrase “mindless jerk” does conjure up a mental image of CNN’s Jim Acosta.
Without any corroborating evidence for the infamous dossier produced by Christopher Steele, the media pretended for most of four years that there might be some substance to the idiotic “Russian collusion” conspiracy nonsense that was used to undermine the Trump administration. Yet when evidence of compromising behavior by Hunter Biden was revealed shortly before the election, the media refused to investigate the story.
Ideally, the media should be non-partisan. Yet they behave like ravenous wolves in pursuit of conservative politicians, and obsequious boot-lickers to liberals. No reporter complained when Joe Biden mysteriously disappeared for days at a time from the campaign trail; the toughest question he was asked in the days leading up to the election was not about Hunter’s laptop or the emails suggesting he’d received millions of dollars in Chinese money, but what flavor ice cream he’d purchased, or what sort of cat he might adopt and bring into the White House along with his two German Shepherds. You know, what passes for serious journalism these days.
The media knew Joe Biden’s history and deliberately chose not to remind Americans that he had been caught plagiarizing speeches and other writings since his days in law school and had a bad habit of lying about his personal and academic achievements. It’s easy to see that Joe Biden has been a total fraud for decades. Even worse, more recently the media has turned a blind eye to compelling evidence of Biden’s family business, which appears to be cultivating corruption by foreign governments.
And the media have known about this for decades. Why did they completely ignore Biden’s history?
It wasn’t that long ago that reporters actually told the public the truth. Who believes that Sam Donaldson or John McLaughlin would have accepted Biden’s flimsy excuse for demanding the firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Shotkin for failing to investigate Burisma or U.S. aid would be withheld?
So, why don’t the media report the truth? Don’t they care?
Oh, yes. The media care, all right…but not about the truth. They care about power. They care about their ability to influence and manipulate the American public. Just imagine if this compilation video of spoken gibberish was of Donald Trump instead of Joe Biden, or these historical clips of Biden’s lies had been of Donald Trump instead.
The media would have hammered Trump relentlessly because they are a bunch of partisan hacks, not professional journalists. Between the mainstream media, social media companies (Facebook and Twitter) suppression of free speech, and Google’s manipulation of search content, conservatives are in danger of being silenced completely. Now that Joe Biden has been declared the winner (by the media, not the electoral college) anyone who dares express skepticism at the results is treated with derision and contempt. Any references by the mainstream media to “election fraud” are automatically prefaced with the phrase “baseless claims of” as a way of conditioning the public to accept the alleged result.
While the media are busy insisting the elections were free and fair and the results not open to serious dispute, Trump voters know that Biden’s alleged victory defied logic, reason, and applicable laws of statistical probability. Trump voters know that experts have testified under penalty of perjury of the likelihood that targeted fraud changed the election results in four key cities: Atlanta, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and Detroit, just enough to change the result in the electoral college.
If the courts overturn the vote certifications in more than one state and move the ultimate decision of the 2020 election to Congress (as specified by the Constitution) because of the fraud, we should expect the media to report the presidency as being stolen from Joe Biden, and not expect the truth. The media will generate outrage among liberals if that happens. Conversely, if nothing comes of these court cases in spite of what we’ve learned about the Pennsylvania elections, conservatives will be apoplectic.
Because the media will not acknowledge evidence of voter fraud sufficient to effect the election outcome that most conservatives know exist, liberals will be blindsided if Trump is ultimately declared the winner. Trump voters will be profoundly unhappy if the election results stand. The only thing that seems certain to the final outcome of the election is that Joe Biden’s hope of unity is a pipe dream that Hunter has already smoked.
Well that, and the media are nothing but a bunch of mindless jerks who richly deserve to be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
Good analysis, thank you!
I have little confidence in the vote accuracy for the upcoming election of Georgia senators.It appears nothing will be done to ferret out voter fraud, especially with mail in voting. Signature verification is out the window! People can go to stores, restaurants, ect. But can not cast a vote in person? A very sad and troubling time in America.
