The Scold War the mainstream media and the president are
fighting has escalated yet again, and is unprecedented due to the unanimity of
the Fourth Estate. The media is conducting the battle on all fronts, with
stunning breadth, depth, and intensity. It is engaging in overt and covert warfare, both bold and up
front and via a guerrilla campaign in the shadows. The elites’ War of the Noses
(indignantly and haughtily thrust skyward, far above the Deplorables ability to
even perceive them) is on a scale such as we have never seen before. In days
past, the fledgling nation had a number of Federalist papers and a number of
Democratic-Republican papers, each of which may have engaged in hyperbole and
even character-assassination now and again. Later on they were joined by a Whig
newspaper or two. There were also, of course, abolitionist papers in the North
and pro-slavery papers in the South prior to and during the Civil War, but
nothing remotely close to the politically-correct group-think and non-diversity
of opinion that has seized virtually the entire mainstream media today. This is
dangerous.
For his
part, President Trump recently called the media “the enemy.” Was that accurate or smart? A free, open, inquisitive, and honest media is a great
boon to a democratic republic. Indeed, a necessary one. But, an angry,
close-minded, intolerant media determined, at all costs, to bring down a
president with whom they disagree politically, is a grave danger to that
republic. An “enemy,” if you will.
“Journalist”
and author Carl Bernstein told CNN that “There’s a history of what ‘enemy of
the people’…means as used by dictators and authoritarians, including Stalin,
including Hitler.” CNN’s Chris Cuomo opined, “Somebody’s going to get hurt.
It’s just a question of time, because just like in every other dynamic in life,
if you take somebody who’s got a legitimate reason to be upset in the first
place, and you pump them up and it starts to become a call to action…somebody’s
going to get hurt.”
Is that
a threat, Chris? Is your side gonna’
fit your “opponents” for cement shoes? That’s the role of the media, today?
I’ve got news for you, dumbass, “somebodies”
have already gotten hurt. Numerous
Trump supporters have gotten physically assaulted in numerous venues. Anti-Trumpers
are typically vile thugs, societal refuse oozing down the streets of America’s
inner cities, leaving everything worse off than when they found it, their
putrid stain hard to cleanse from streets, structures and memories alike.
I’ve got news for everyone who isn’t
robotically marching in lock-step with the likes of the New York Times and NBC:
The mainstream media vehemently, virulently detests Main Street America.
