Hey, Media!

You started it:

Every television show you watch, every movie, every woman’s magazine, every comedian, and, yes, every news program tells you you suck. Your country sucks. Your culture sucks. Your religion and your morals suck. And you personally are one of those dumb-ass racists who clings to his Bible and talks funny.

If you believe your country should vet its immigrants, you’re racist. If you voted for Donald Trump, you’re racist. If you make a joke about Barack Obama on Facebook, you’re racist twice. If you think motherhood is a woman’s highest calling, you’re sexist. If you take it ill when Islamists blow you up in the name of their nasty little god, you’re Islamophobic. If you know that a man is a man even if he says he’s a woman, you’re transphobic. If you think it’s fair to debate whether homosexual actions are moral or not, you’re homophobic.

Every day. From every outlet. All the time. And now people are angry. Wonder why.

New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger says he told Trump his anti-press rhetoric could lead to violence. But the media’s anti-Trump rhetoric already has led to violence: public officials rat-packed and bullied, Trump supporters harassed, White House spokes-lady Sarah Sanders having to live under guard. And yet when Sanders pointed this out to Look-At-Me-I’m-Jim Acosta, Acosta stormed out of the room. Hell, if he doesn’t want to hear the truth, he could just stay home and watch CNN.

Trump didn’t create antipathy to the press. He just tapped into it. I’d have done the same thing, but less crudely. After all, it’s what bloggers have been doing for many years now.

  1. It was even they that claimed the “media is the enemy of the state”. Trump said it is “fake news” that is the enemy.

    But I can see why CNN would self identify.

    1. The media is also claiming that Trump coined the term, “Fake News.” But it was actually an attack the media was using against Trump and he was able to turn it against the media because they are determined to lie about everything and distort every story.

      1. Hilarious, isn’t it? The people who produce most of the fake news on the planet thought they could use it to attack those who spread the truth.

        But SJWs always project. And the left aren’t sending us their best.

        And this whole ‘Trump will cause violence against the media’ thing is just a new Narrative so they can run a false flag and blame it on the right.

      2. I’ve known acquaintances that have called Fox News, Faux News, from back in the W. days. The idea that Trump coined the phrase “Fake News” is absurd as thinking the Russians financially backed him to be President or that we have always been at war with Eastasia.

        You’re right wodun, what’s novel here is Trump’s ability to turn it back on the left.

  2. Trump supporters harassed hospitalized

    Just the other day an anti-SJW youtuber was assaulted at Gen Con. He wasn’t hospitalized but considering the the constant and wide scale organized and unorganized violence from the Democrats, you think it would get better coverage from the media. Unfortunately, the DNC media covers the violence by justifying it and blaming the victims.

    1. In a world where you can make any infographic look really cool; you may confound the dumbest among us to think the graphics complexity illustrates a truth that doesn’t exist.
