The media continues to slit their own throats with the American people.
The latest tempest in a tea kettle is their willful misrepresentation of Trump’s statements regarding Liz Cheney.
Because I’m actually paying attention. Because I really want to know if Trump is the monster he’s consistently made out to be. Because I’m kind of interested in how these horrific misrepresentations get started, then gain a life of their own. And because I have a fair understanding of the English Language and believe words have actual meanings.
I listen carefully to what Trump says.
Painful as it is, I also listen very carefully to what Biden and Harris say as well.
Joe Biden did in fact call 1/2 of the country “Garbage” he didn’t stutter, he didn’t have an apostrophe in supporters.
Trumps actual Cheney comment was something every single one of us who is honestly anti-war has said at some time or another. I’m a hot head, when someone messes with my country, I tend to shoot my mouth off. Which is why I’m on record in this blog saying that I believe the joint chiefs and military advisors to The President should be men and women who have actually seen combat.
I believe this is especially true if the sitting President has never been in the military.
My reasoning is simple. Military people who have seen combat are likely to want to seek diplomatic solutions before sending troops to war. They’re not afraid of war, but understand it is inherently wasteful and horrific.
I say that as someone who’s never served and I might be talking out my ass.
So I might shoot my mouth off and say something stupid like “Kill ‘em all” of our enemies, upon reflection I come back to my generally anti-war stance.
I do believe when dumb fucks, even me, start shouting for war, they should be willing to pick up a rifle and march into battle right along with the actual troops. There should never be rear echelon motherfuckers or desk jockeys that never pissed themselves under fire.
I could be wrong about that and welcome comments from actual soldiers.
The Trump comment every news media outlet ran with came during an interview with Tucker Carlson. Prior to the “Actual” comment, Trump was detailing his anti-war stance.
What Trump actually said is:
“[Dick Cheney’s] daughter’s a very dumb individual, very dumb. She’s a radical Warhawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face. You know, they’re all Warhawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, “Aw gee, well, let’s send ten thousand troops into the mouth of the enemy.” But she’s a stupid person.”
In other words, Trump called out Liz Cheney for being pro war, just like her father Dick Cheney who made a shit ton of money via the Military Industrial Complex and his Vice Presidency.
Nowhere in Trump’s comment did he say anything about a firing squad, or any of the bullshit the media was spewing on Thursday and Friday.
In other words the media lied…
AGAIN!
Not only did they lie, they all parroted the same damn story pretty much verbatim and not one of these outlets had the integrity to fact check. Perhaps it’s the fault of their DEI hires who can’t read, write, add, or subtract, but whose college loans were paid for, by Biden violating a Supreme Court Order.
It’s only this morning that even the most radical of these organizations are saying, “Nah, he didn’t say let’s execute Cheney.” But they’re doing it quietly and the damage is done.
The news cycle has ended for the week. This was nothing more than a blatant attempt to screw Trump one last time before the election. It should be called what it is and the punishment should be liberally applied. This is/was election interference. The talking heads, wags and pundits should all be held to account for it.
CBS, ABC, FOX, & NBC should be fined because they allowed this unchecked unverified lie to be broadcast over the public airwaves in violation of their broadcast licenses.
The thing is, there are people who heard a 15 second sound bite on the boob tube on CNN and thought “Typical! Trump is gonna be a dictator so he’s working on his list of political prisoners.”
Those are the folks that believe all the other now debunked lies about Trump. From “Very Fine People” to Trump will institute a Nation wide Abortion ban, or as Whoopie Goldberg spewed the other day Trump was gonna reassign white men to white women when he deported the people of color.
She’s completely insane and should be taken off the air for any number of reasons so I didn’t bother to write about her wacko rant this week. I assume my readers know insane & stupid when they see it.
These are people who believe that the Hunter Laptop is the work of a Russian disinformation campaign. (I knew the laptop was real and explained my reasoning in a post in 2022)
I’d looked at it as soon as the data on the drive was leaked in 2020. Then the data got scrubbed and I hadn’t backed up the filth. The 2020 analysis was a pithy expose about the lies from the intelligence community. But since I hadn’t finished the analysis and no longer had the data I deleted the original piece. I do have some standards & honestly was a bit afraid of the FBI kicking my door down.
After 8-10 years of lies mixed with the occasional bit of truth about Trump we’ve come to the Joseph Gobbels point in our program.
“Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will.” — Joseph Gobbels
I think at this point we can objectively prove that the media is the propaganda arm of the Democrat party and that it’s very possible the Democrat party will be rebranding itself and the Democratic Nationalist Communist Party any day now. That last bit is probably incorrect, however at this point I wouldn’t be surprised.
The Democrat party “Feels” a lot more communist than I can recall in my lifetime. But it’s worse than that, there’s an almost religious dogmatic feel that I find extremely disturbing and uncomfortable.
I’d fearlessly walk into a Republican Party convention or meeting and disagree with a point or points.
I wouldn’t dare do the same at a Democrat event. They have literally become the party of Karens and Scolds who thoughtlessly shut down, or more properly shout down, dissent.
That’s a lot closer to communism or religion than actually being concerned with governance for my tastes.
The media does a great job of reenforcing the propaganda. They literally tell us what we’re seeing isn’t happening and stunningly, people believe what they’re told instead of what they see and experience.
This coming Tuesday will be interesting.
Will the propaganda machine be powerful enough to overcome a Trump win? Will enough people believe it? What if Kamala actually does win? How much effort will the Propaganda machine exert to prop her up, as unlikeable as she is? If Trump wins how many celebrities will follow through on their threats to leave the country?
I guess we’ll have to wait on the “Film at 11” Tuesday evening.
In no case though will we ever have an apology or contrition on the park of our News Agencies. I guarantee they’ll pull the “We were only following orders” defense.
