Media Whores
For well over 75 years, Americans have naively
trusted that the people who bring them the news every
night—and today, 24/7—are highly informed, deeply
sincere, remarkably unbiased public servants.
After all, why would anyone go into a notoriously
low-paying profession if he or she was not at heart
an idealist?
For well over 75 years, Americans have naively
trusted that the people who bring them the news every
night—and today, 24/7—are highly informed, deeply
sincere, remarkably unbiased public servants.
After all, why would anyone go into a notoriously
low-paying profession if he or she was not at heart
an idealist?
Motives, of course, vary. Some are attracted to the
“profession” because they are news junkies and want
to be where the political action is. Others seek the
limelight because the narcissist in them likes to be
on camera.
Then there are those who genuinely believe that
their exposés and hard-hitting reporting can make a
helpful difference in people’s lives. Finally we have
aspirants with money signs in their eyes, hoping that
they will be among the few who actually rake in
the big bucks.
But for a public who still believe the “news” they
read and hear and watch is even remotely related to
“the truth,” allow me to burst that bubble.
As ace journalist Ashley Lutz scrupulously documented
in a Business Insider report last year, in 1983 there
were 50 media companies, but today only six
organizations are now responsible for 90 percent of
all the “news”
we read, watch and listen to! They include:
GE (Comcast, NBC, Universal Pictures, Focus Features,
et al). NewsCorp (Fox, Wall St. Journal, NY Post, et
al). Disney (ABC, ESPN, Pixar, Miramax, Marvel
Studios, et al) Viacom (MTV, Nick Jr., BET, CMT,
Paramount Pictures, et al) Time Warner (CNN, HBO,
TIME, Warner Bros., et al) CBS (Showtime, Smithsonian
Channel, NFL.com, Jeopardy, 60 Minutes, et al)
Make no mistake, the CEOs of these
multibillion-dollar businesses are
all leftist globalists—not a conservative among
them—except perhaps for Rupert Murdoch (Fox, Wall St.
Journal, NY Post, et al) who recently gave control of
his empire to his leftist sons Lachlan and James,
hence the distinctly leftward tilt of Fox and
the WSJ.
Over the years, these globalist business titans have
all made massive investments in the global economy,
thanks largely to the leftist con men and women—the
Clintons and Obamas; the communists, tin-pot
dictators and America-haters of the United
Nations; the leftist billionaires who thrive on and
denounce capitalism at the same time—who wined and
dined and charmed them into believing that America
was on the decline and that the open-borders,
one-world-government crowd was in imminent ascendance.
But big ideas, like the notion of a diminishing
America, are never successful without the full-time
help of a media that is run by—at DA—the globalists
themselves!
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS
Ms. Wide-Eyed idealist and Mr. Upwardly-Mobile
go-getter apply for jobs at their local or national
radio or TV stations or newspapers. Or they “know
someone” who facilitates an interview that leads to
being hired. A good
example of the latter is the nice-enough but
remarkably untalented Chelsea Clinton, who landed an
astronomically high-paying job with NBC that,
mercifully for viewers, lasted about a minute.
Once hired, these wannabe journalists are thrilled to
be on their way, until it dawns on them that their
bosses don’t give a damn about anything they think or
believe or want to convey to a hungry public. For
most media
employees, it soon becomes clear that they are
expected—indeed, mandated—to reflect and convey the
belief systems of their employers. And unless they do
that, they are completely DISPENSABLE!
My favorite example is Alysin Camerota of CNN. When
she was at Fox, she was Ms. Reliable Conservative, or
at least fair and balanced. But the very millisecond
she moved to CNN, she became as rabidly partisan as
any leftwing
fanatic has ever been.
Why? Because Ms. Alysin knew immediately that she was
dispensable. That’s how big business works. Toe the
line or you’re out! The same can be said of all of
the self-important newscasters who are literally
given their marching
orders—or more accurately, their talking orders—by
their media bosses.
Not just talking orders, but word-for-word memes,
which is why no matter which lefty network or cable
show you turn to, they’re all using the same
vocabulary, expressions, key words. I first noticed
this when Dick Cheney
was chosen as a VP candidate by George W. Bush. All
of a sudden, the media talking heads discovered the
word “gravitas”!
Today, vis-a-vis Hurricane Harvey, the buzz word is
the “empathy” that President Trump supposedly
lacks—this in spite of an entire nation watching the
people of Houston embrace and thank him. But
objectivity has never been
part of the media whores’ repertoire, only slavish
obeisance to their bosses.
Watch for yourself… in fact, take notes. There is a
remarkable absence of originality in today’s
political reportage; it’s all an echo chamber of
talking points and leftist propaganda that the
anchors and reporters have
received beforehand and literally been commanded to
utilize at risk of their job.
And watch these [dispensable] media whores try to
impress their bosses by competing in the categories
of “best gotcha question,” “most [feigned] outrage,”
most blank-faced faux objectivity,” “most
vilification toward President
Trump,” who these disrespectful [dispensable]
employees insist on calling “Trump.” Again, watch for
yourself.
But the question still remains: Why the ferocity
against President Trump? Why the fanatical mission to
depose him from office, to bring him down? The answer
is quite simple: in every single case of what used to
pass for
politics as usual—he has single-handedly destroyed
and brought down the prevailing powers-that-be: the
Democrat Party, the Republican Party, the globalist
agenda, treaties that were bad for America, the
open-borders fetish, and the monolith known as the
American
media.
How? By giving voice to what the American people have
known and been angry about for decades, i.e., that
they are all corrupt, permeated with bribes and
payoffs, self-serving, and in too many cases
anti-American, anti the
U.S. Constitution, and anti the Judeo-Christian
ethics upon which our exceptional nation was founded.
PAYING THE WHORES
What we’ve been witnessing since June of 2015, when
billionaire real-estate mogul and TV celebrity Donald
Trump announced for the presidency is a three-part
phenomenon.
The first gear was based on the arrogance of the
establishment media poohbahs—the globalists—who spent
over a year believing that the directives they gave
to their [dispensable] media whores to deride,
insult, sneer at,
defame, vilify and laugh at candidate Trump would
destroy him.
But they failed! And as candidate Trump succeeded in
vanquishing not five or 10 or 14 but 17 formidable
opponents and gaining the nomination, the globalists
shifted into second gear.
Second gear involved the vast expenditures the
globalists were willing to make to stop Mr. Trump’s
presidential campaign in its tracks, the kind of
money—including, I suspect, huge payoffs—to polling
firms to literally
lie about the numbers.
Every poll showed the worst candidate in American
history, Hillary Clinton, ahead of the charismatic
Mr. Trump. And every poll in every state that
historically has been a reliable slam-dunk for
Democrats—Wisconsin, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Minnesota, etc.—showed Ms. Hillary far
ahead. And let’s not forget that every lying poll was
reported earnestly as the gospel truth by the
globalists’ reliable but [dispensable] media whores.
I don’t have to guess about the, ahem, contributions
made to the poseurs who call themselves Republicans
but who we now know are really in the thrall of
anyone who puts money into their bottomless pockets.
Those windfalls
include—according to opensecrets.org and Matthew
Boyle of Breitbart.com—the hefty largesse from
hedge-fund billionaire and mega-funder of all things
leftist, George Soros, whose name is attached to no
fewer than 206 leftwing U.S. organizations, according to
Dr. Eowyn. Here is the short list of sell-out
Republicans who accepted Mr. Soros’s, um, influential
money: Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, presidential
candidates former governor Jeb Bush and current
governor John Kasich; senators Lindsey Graham, John
McCain,
Ron Johnson, Chuck Grassley, and senator and former
presidential candidate Marco Rubio, the list goes on.
It is noteworthy that, as reported by Jim Hoft of
Gateway Pundit, Mr. Soros has also funded every major
protest since the November 2016 election, including
the Women’s March on Washington (see my article, “The
March to
Nowhere”), the protests in front of Trump Tower in
NY City, the thug-fests at Berkeley College and
elsewhere, and of course the fascists-on-display
demonstrations of the anti-American, anti-Semitic
Black Lives Matter and Antifa, where bought-and-paid
for miscreants—dressed
up like and imitating ISIS terrorists and Hitler’s
Brown Shirts—proceeded to smash windows, light cars
on fire, and brutally attack supporters of President
Trump.
All the while, the media honchos have kept up the
negative drumbeat to defeat the president—to find
something criminal to pin on him, to impeach him—even
exhorting their [dispensable] media whores to ramp up
the attacks.
In fact, a Harvard study released in May by the
Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public
Policy revealed that in the president’s first 100
days in office, 10 major TV and print outlets
reported negatively 98 percent
of the time!
Third gear is what we’ve been witnessing since the
election on November 8, 2016, when the globalists and
moneybags who control both the media and the
politicians realized that all of their efforts to
stop the Trump Triumph
had failed miserably. Every last dollar down the
drain. Every “news” report for naught. Every article
worthy only of lining a thousand birdcages.
DESPERATE MEASURES
What to do? First the media whores created the
colossal fiction that the Trump camp had colluded
with Russia to rig the election. For days and weeks
and months on end, these [dispensable] prostitutes
studiously eschewed
actual news, instead robotically intoning their
anesthetizing talking points: Russia-Trump,
Trump-Russia, Russia-Trump, Trump-Russia. That was
it. No evidence, no first-person testimony, just the
feeble attempts by their supposedly intelligent
bosses to accomplish
what they had failed at in the first place—getting
rid of Donald Trump.
After that huge fizzle, the now-desperate get-Trump
cabal trotted out the über-corrupt head of the FBI,
James Comey, who astonishingly admitted that he used
a Columbia professor to plant an article in The New
York Times
so that President Trump would be forced to appoint a
Special Counsel. Sure enough, it was Comey’s close
pal, former FBI director Robert Mueller, who got the
job and has now appointed 17 attorneys, seven of them
contributors to Ms. Hillary’s Presidential campaign
and/or the Clinton foundation.
But again, this witch hunt went nowhere, and so the
[dispensable] media whores launched into their next
mantra. While both domestic and international news
demanded coverage, the American media’s globalist
bosses ordered
their lackeys to keep up their anti-Trump mantras in
the preposterous form of Breaking News: “obstruction
of justice,” Jared Kushner’s ‘illegal’ business
dealings with Russian companies,” the supposedly
nefarious goings-on of POTUS advisors Steve Bannon and
Sebastian Gorka, Charlottesville and their bogus
claims of “racism, racism, racism,” and now Melania’s
stilettos!
THE NET RESULT
Adding it all up, we have a president who is zooming
along at warp speed, amassing unprecedented
accomplishments for the American people (See my
articles, “The Juggernaut & the Jerks” and “The
Unstoppable Trump Train”).
The [dispensable] media whores have had zero effect
on President Trump’s performance or his continuing
popularity with the American public, as attested to
by the huge and enthusiastic audiences he attracts
wherever he goes.
Or, for that matter, his mood, which is clearly and
consistently ebullient, upbeat, enthusiastic, and
optimistic about America’s future.
In addition, the mass gatherings of thugs,
malcontents, anarchists, and basement dwellers have
had zero effect on convincing our citizens that the
left’s fairy-tale vision of America—a free lunch (and
breakfast, dinner,
education, housing, cell phones, etc.), socialized
medicine, open borders, sanctuary cities, high taxes,
a nanny government, et al.—is even palatable, much
less preferable.
Still, President Trump—an upright citizen his entire
life, an incredibly successful businessman, the
bestselling author of over a dozen books, a
philanthropist, the father of five respectful and
loving children the eldest
of whom are also impressively contributory members
of society, the representative and now enactor of
every value Republicans and conservatives
traditionally stand for (low taxes, fewer
regulations, secure borders, a strong military,
strict conservative appointments
to the Supreme Court, et al)—continues to be the
target of a “system” that clearly prefers their
longtime habit of cozy corruption.
The fact that he CANNOT. BE. BOUGHT. drives them
crazy. And the fact that the entire media
establishment, for all their blitz-like attacks, has
not dented his energy, resolve, or the respect of our
nation’s citizens, is
clearly too much for them to take…hence the
continued onslaught of lies, defamation, and attack.
This, of course, is where the media whores differ
from the more respectable prostitutes in our culture,
who simply do their job, collect their fees, and
express their personal opinions and biases to their
friends, colleagues
and families.
The media whores could learn a lot from them.
