How Trump Turned the National Media Into Impotent Hecklers
2016-12-04
[DAILYWIRE] Savor it. It finally happened. The national media no longer matters. The entire institution has been rendered as irrelevant as a drunken fan in the cheap seats pretending to know more about the game than Kobe. Sure, the media might still have the power to annoy. But as far as how the players play, the institution is now just, well, belligerent jerks with no power, no sway, no influence.

Much of the credit does not belong to President-elect Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
. The media did this to themselves. What Trump does deserve credit for -- and I'll get to this -- is realizing that the Emperor has no clothes and firing the kill shot.

#8  Yes Jeling. We curtail our habits. Cut off the monies.

We may now search Truth on our own and discard the juice drink / snack pak media for 5th grade information flows.

Life is so much better without them for me.
The best thing about not being antagonized and challenged by idiot cultural marxist fellating democrats at the dinner hour.

Rather, I like the scrolling "on the ground" field reports from people actually there to deliver snark about the new strawman story nbc pulled out of their ass.

They are a disgusting shame and anger me that people even ask me about subjects they cynically deliver to the DumbMasses.

These people have been brainwashed into thinking that what is important is on the evening news shows.

It is all agit-prop. All of it.

#7  I recommend that you get your information from blogs such as this one and drudge. Watch your local TV stations for morning news and turn them off when they switch away to network programming. If you watch the weather channels keep the sound off so that you don't get the global warming BS in your head. I used to recommend FOX but now not so much. Stick to Rantburg.

#6   I do believe this has been especially so during Democrat administrations.

You can go as far back as Woodrow Wilson.

#5  Do t forget it took the National Enquirer, of Bat Boy fame, to break the John Edwards bimbo boinking story. The media knew about it but sat on it.

#4  I don't believe they have ever been honest. The government has always fed us bullshit and the media has always given the government a pass. Roosevelt got away with all kinds of crimes and they never called him on it. I do believe this has been especially so during Democrat administrations. Remember how they fawned over Kennedy? The guy was slime but you'd have thought he was Jesus Christ. They kept calling his administration Camelot. But they knew about the women and kept it quiet for him. If not for Drudge they would have done the same for Clinton. Lazy, dishonest, drunken bastards. They will never rouse themselves to follow the money or dig into courthouse records. Never have, never will.

#3  I regret to say they have learned nothing. I claim they have been this way since Watergate. Then before that with Vietnam with Walter. Then for them to change would mean to admit failure. That will never happen. They will continue to lose money as ESPN is now. New media must step up to the task. Alternative media will lead the way. Main stream will be smoked.

#1  Beat these ignorant know nothings down with the Truth until they learn from the "Election".

It is not about an Election. It is about serving a meaningful purpose by being the most professional in any profession you were in. ( not saying I have been any gift myself)
But do not distort things to try to make them your way.

Rather, stay out of judgeship when you are media.

Read up. Know the Law somewhat, Read the Bill of Rights, Constitution, and understand that no public will permit being lied to for too long.

You are US Press, not the media of the world. You may carry broadcasts there, but you in no way share in the Grace of other Nations by lying to them too.

Some would not appreciate knowing that all US "news" channels you have are all bullshit pravda from commies just like the Soviets fed you.

Screw that, You are toast. The Gig is up!.

Stop accusing everyone of being something. I really hate that shit.

Bearing False Witness - It is not a thing to do.
