| The Media Is Even More Garbage Than Usual |
| 2020-03-19 |
| It's Kurt [Town Hall] - It’s like the moronic mandarins of the mainstream media ‐ luminaries like Honest Dan Rather, Brian "Badass Like Buttigieg" Williams, and Zombie Cronkite ‐ got together to create a plan to make people hate the media even more than they already did. It was a daunting challenge, since people view the mainstream media as something akin to syphilis without the upside. But it’s as if they finally succeeded, accomplishing, against all odds, something besides failure, leveraging this pandemic to destroy the media forever. The Chinese Coronavirus Bat Soup Syndrome has taken what’s left of the media’s reputation, poured gasoline on it, then lit it on fire before flattening it with a bulldozer and finally having a Scat Francisco hobo download last night’s free bologna sandwich on the remains. ...I wish I was exaggerating. I wish my ability to generate hyperbole in the pursuit of critiquing our failed establishment was so great that I could construct a sublime image of allegedly serious reporters, in a time of national crisis, forgoing the chance to disseminate lifesaving 411 to the masses and instead, and on purpose, choosing to pursue the fevered SJW obsessions of daddy-issued Wellesley sociology sophomores. ...On Tuesday, the Chinese government decided to toss a bunch of American media types out of the country. Talk about a betrayal of one’s own friends. But it just goes to show that everyone hates the media ‐ and that even the damn communists think our media sucks. |

| #6 #1 If they complain, just tell 'em the Constitution is a "living breathing document" crafted by a bunch of dead white slaveowners. And hey, there was no social media or TV networks or streaming or radio or even a New York Times or Washington Post in 1787. According to one of their key arguments against gun rights, technological change somehow mitigates against strict adherence to the Bill of Rights, right? Apply their own rules to them. |

| #5 Shades of 2004 when the MSM dropped their masks and revealed their roles as willing agents of the Democratic Party. Remember all of those questions shouted at Bush to "Tell us what you did wrong (and give us a soundbite for the DNC ads...)"? Today it's yelling at Trump to "Tell us ...etc etc etc" reprising the 2004 election cycle. |

| #4 The penalties for malpractice should be as egregious and draconian for lawyers, journalists and financial executives as they are for physicians. Throw in aircraft and automobile manufacturing executives while we're at it. |

| #3 What P2P said. There's a point at which the media Shitshow becomes a Horror Show: when they incite panic by with lies that spread fear uncertainty and doubt. The media f---ers have passed that point. Their lies are creating real and present danger now. |

| #1 You know when some punk misuses a constitutionally protect item like a gun, we get loads of proposals for restricting the object. When the Legacy Infotainment Enterprises goes whole Chicken Little how about treating them the same. A SCOTUS opinion already states - you have no right to scream fire in a crowded theater. Just remove any protections for lies, misrepresentations, and libel that any other business is subject to. |
