The Media Hates You And Is Shocked That You Hate It Back
It's Kurt
[Townhall] I guess we’ll be told we’re unseemly if we giggle at the cancellation of useless stooge Don Lemon’s low-rated airport lounge video muzak,
...sadly, when he announced last week his show would be cancelled, he also said he would be appearing the next night at the same time. The new show is Don Lemon Tonight, to differentiate from the pathetically rated CNN Tonight with Don Lemon...
or at how the Israelis leveled the Gaza high-rise housing the AP and Al-Jazeera. Well, color us unseemly, because when the media suffers, we celebrate.

And we’re not going to apologize for it. Half of America, at least, now cares about the media precisely as much as the media cares about us — that is, not at all. In fact, we actively wish it ill. We cheer when some trash website or paper folds. The frequent layoff announcements make us giddy. Sad journalists whining about how people on Twitter dare criticize them cause us to howl in delight.
For me the turning point was Intifada I - in my reserve service I've seen that riots don't start until foreign journalists arrive.
...the media hates us and actively sides with our enemies. It’s always amusing how these hacks do not even bother to hide their full-throated collaboration with the people who want us silenced, disenfranchised, and/or dead, yet get all huffy when we refuse to treat them as the neutral truthtellers they aren’t. The most active supporters of censorship in our culture are members of the news media itself, bar none. They cover up Democrat perfidy and invent Republican scandals. They try to police our language. They condescend to us. They dox innocent citizens. They lie all the time. They carry water for liberal leakers. They try to get our own (real) reporters, like Townhall’s Julio Rosas, killed for refusing to follow the narrative.

#2 I used to watch David Letterman and never missed one of his shows. Then I realized he hated conservatives like me. What a putz, I hope his huge white Santa Claus beard catches on fire.
