Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! Part V

“For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires to honor the truth first.” - Aristotle

Ken Starr, the Special Prosecutor in the Clinton case, was vilified and made to look stupid by the media constantly.  Even stalking Starr outside his home and asking him questions when he went outside to throw out the garbage in his bathrobe.  

Starr in effect admitted his naivete saying the optics never occurred to him as he didn't want to be rude, as the reporters were just doing their job.  Now that's naive, true, but that's  how descent people act.  

The media isn't descent, they're not honest, and they're corrupt to the bone.  Why did it take so long for everyone to grasp that?  And Walter Cronkite, "The most trusted man in America",  was just as guilty.  He was a secret globalist, and the Pravda media, aka, the Fourth Estate still is.

Dr. Michael J. Hurd published this article, What Makes a Person “Suggestible” and Why It Matters, saying: 

Far from being something mysterious, the power of suggestion is often a part of everyday life.....Simply put, a person is “suggestible” if he or she accepts and acts on suggestions by others. Suggestions can range from lies to misunderstandings to incorrect perceptions (like the caffeine example). In other words, your mind, and in some cases, your body, will trick you into believing that something is – or isn’t – true.......

He goes on to say:

Researchers warn against confusing “suggestibility” with “susceptibility.” Susceptibility refers to a physical weakness or predisposition, like being susceptible to colds. Though suggestibility is more mental......The famous saying, “There’s a sucker born every minute” may be true — but only where critical thinking is ignored, discouraged or outlawed.

The Pravda media has knowingly and corruptly spewed out lies of commission, lies of omission, misinformation, and fake news for decades placing a mammoth thumb on America's election scales.   

The bias, from both the mainstream media and the tech/social media is mind-boggling.  The problem isn’t that Democrats openly and habitually lie about Donald Trump on a regular basis.  The problem is that the media uses subliminal messaging to reinforce those lies. They are not fair, neutral arbiters. 

The media are Democrats, by and large. For example, Democrat strategist Aisha Mills recently appeared on Erin Burnett’s show on CNN [whose] insane rant naturally invoked Hitler, but ranged from eugenics (What? Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger are icons within the Democrat party, and she wants to complain about eugenics?) to her personal belief, based on nothing but her own emotion, that Donald Trump considers himself superior to her because of her genetics due to her identity a black lesbian. ...........

Well, I'm betting tree moss is superior to her, and they wonder why they're swirling down the drain.   MSNBC, CNN are disintegrating, and left wing outlets are utterly stupefied as to why!

 The fact is the real reason Trump is so popular is because of the internet. So many alternative news site popped up overnight, like American Thinker, all of which what's called the "Fourth Estate", and is in reality the Pravda media, arrogantly, smugly, and dismissively called the alternative media the "Pajama Media", and that's now morphed into the 'Fifth Estate" because as more and more Americans read what was being said they realized just how badly they'd been lied to by the Pravda Media. 

And Little Georgie isn't alone.   Joy Reid, "We Are Not Having Thanksgiving with You — ‘Make your Own Dinner, MAGA", who never fails to demonstrate what an abysmally disgusting human being she is, even blaming the Muslim terrorist attack in New Orleans on America, is either going to be booted off MSNBC, or take a pay cut.  I would choose the boot, but that's just me.  When you read the idiotic, nasty things she says you have to ask, Why on earth does MSNBC keep Joy Reid?, but then, why does MSNBC continue to exist?  Then there's Rachel Maddow, MSNBC's "star", who will have to now survive on a mere 25 million a year instead of 30 million.  And they wonder why they're going broke? 

Viewers Abandoned CNN, MSNBC After Election.  In the aftermath of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Fox News experienced significant gains in viewership. The network captured 62 percent of the overall cable news audience, marking its highest cable news share to date. On Election Night and during Vice President Kamala Harris's concession, Fox News was the most-watched network. ( More Here, and Here) 

Even the Food Network is doing better than CNN, and Silvio Canto says he understands why, "their chefs and recipes must have more credibility than the news readers" at these networks.

America is now acutely aware of how badly they've been lied to and have walked away from these networks.  Once that happened, they never went back, and those numbers have increased yearly, until now,  Now those numbers are massive, and to the point the Pravda media, both print and television, are going down the sewer, and are on the chopping block to be sold, and soon, probably at fire sale prices, and for two reasons. 

1. Their viewership is far left and they will not tolerate conservative views being shown, so they can't change who and what they are to expand their viewership, and very soon they're going to lose all that lovely, lovely bundling money.
2. Streaming is going to bankrupt cable.  Cable is dying and being taken over by streaming, and when cable dies, all that lovely, lovely, bundling money will dry up, and worse yet, their ratings as bad as they were, nosedived after the election.  They tried streaming with MSNBC+ and it failed almost overnight, so they know with their message they can't generate sufficient income on their own.  They're toast.

MSNBC Continues to Crash and Burn, With No Idea What to Do.  Now, ya just gotta see the humor in all that panic, and the Trump people are going after the media from now on, as ‘The View’ Host Sunny Hostin has to issue another legal statement for lying about Pete Hegseth claiming he mistreated his wife.  

• Report Reveals the Reason Why Neil Cavuto was Ousted from Fox News as President Trump Responds to His Departure
• Lesley Stahl Can’t Figure Out the Decline of Legacy Media 

Now little Georgie Stephanopoulos, the dwarf who roared, has had to settle with Trump for big bucks, apologize to him, and ABC has to fork over $15 Million directly to Trump, and another million to his lawyers.   And the dwarf who roared is in a rage, and is allegedly ‘Apoplectic’ over Trump Lawsuit Settlement, but what must really hurt is he's had to take a pay cut, who is still grossly overpaid.  

Poor Jim Acosta, a virtual lava flow horsepucky is in a panic over this settlement as he fears getting sued, and if he does, he want's the company to bail him out.  It never occurred to them all their lies would constitute "actual malice" under the New York Times V. Sullivan SCOTUS ruling that I think is a disgraceful decision that has absolutely no basis in the Constitution and unleashed onto America corrupt media liars who worked to destroy the lives of people they disapproved of, and it's time to end this insanity and force the media to live by the same standards as the rest of America has to live by.

Then we have the fall of RINO Never Trumpers like Peggy Noonan, who was lauded a lot in years gone by and even then I had no idea why. I read her stuff, and even at that much younger age, with much less experience in life, and much less knowledge, I wasn't impressed. I always came away with the thought I had no idea what she was trying to say, and neither did she. This piece explains why. She wants it both ways, always needing an out, always needing an excuse for failure, just like all the "it's not my fault" leftists they hobnob with.

She's like so many of these faux conservatives, they like the attention, the parties, the ability to rub shoulders with prominent leftists of the media, presenting themselves as enlightened, but they've never they been warriors. Jonah Goldberg came close and then capitulated. George Will,  Krauthammer, and Bill Kristol, whose father Irving was a communist/socialist at one point and became the "godfather of neoconservatism", which explains a lot about the views of his son, all of whom had the same problem that afflicts so many "intellectuals", a sense of elitist privilege. 

I've seen this type in a thousand places and a thousand faces, but they're all the same, they present a face of arrogance and smugness to hide their inadequacies, and are totally uncomfortable in the presence of the peasantry as they live in a echo chamber of head nodders.  

As has been quoted so often, "There are liars, there are damn liars, and there are statistics",. so when you combine a political persuasion notorious for lies, and can only subsist on lies, a corrupt media that loves those lies, and pollsters who corruptly know they're lies and yet work to make lies those truth, we had a public that was been beguiled for decades.

Then the internet appeared and then, "Shazam" the "Captain Marvel", alternative media appeared, AKA, the pajama media, now the new "Fifth Estate", which the Pravda media smugly and arrogantly smirked at. Well, that's over with, the smirk is gone, the smirking turned into hate mongering, their network programs are swirling down the drain, and now the corporate Pravda, Fourth Estate media, is irrelevant, and it's clear the new administration is going to open things up that will place the "Fourth Estate" in a back row seat, where they've belonged for decades.

 He who laughs last laughs best.  Schadenfreude!

Two more points. 

First, this attack against a corrupt media is going to continue, as "U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shared details about her plans for a brand new House subcommittee tasked with cutting wasteful government spending and redundant bureaucracy", saying among the things, they'll be addressing taxpayer money being used to fund NPR or any media outlet for that matter.  

Secondly, for those who may doubt the vile corruption we're seeing from the Pravda media is something new and novel, I would like to draw your attention to an article I originally published in 2011, The Lady is a Hag.

Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! Part IV

Back in June of 2018 Patricia McCarthy published this piece, The Barrs and the Bees: Leftists' rancid indecency saying: 

From the moment Roseanne revived her '90s sitcom as a Trump-supporter, the left was apoplectic..........Roseanne tweeted something crude about Valerie Jarrett, and the mainstream media lost their cookies. She's racist. She has to go. And so Roseanne was fired. Her show did not even air that night. That is how offended the "public" was meant to be. People had to be protected from Roseanne.

But then the previously unheard of Samantha Bee committed an even greater verbal crime. She used a lovely photo of Ivanka Trump and her son to vilify Ivanka on the basis that her father is responsible for the plight of illegal immigrant children streaming into the U.S. A giant leap if there ever was one. But that's how far the left has descended into madness since the 2016 election.......

 

The Samantha Bees, Kathy Griffins, Keith Olbermanns, Bill Mashers, etc. are offensive in every sense of the word, but they keep their jobs...............The entire display was an embarrassment to all Americans. Only the media love this kind of scandal. They live for, thrive on, this kind of verbal debauchery. Our media, most of them, are as indecent as Barr, Bee, Olbermann, Maher, and the rest of them aching for the death of the west....

 

More on this.  On June 3, 2018 Ethel C. Fenig posted this piece, Falling through the liberal looking-glass, noting the "bizarre alternative universe" the left lives in.  Rosanne's show was cancelled, even after she grovelled and apologized, over something she shouldn't have apologized for in the first place, but the word's "proudly vomited" out by Bee got a "Television Academy Honors award for advancing social change", and she was "rewarded with applause" from the audience. 

I posted these two "blasts from the past" because I wanted to demonstrate just how vile they've been and for so long, and what they've gotten away with.  Now, those days are gone.  The Pravda media is despised, vilified, and they're being ignored.  They're toast, and they're scared.  Their smug haughty arrogance is disappearing, but their outrage will never disappear. 

• How dare the public not grovel before them? 
• How dare the public question their unfounded claims?  
• Doesn't the public know they're too stupid to think for themselves?  

It's Whoopie's job to do that for them.  

 

Well, not any longer as both CNN and MSNBC's ratings are cratering.  They're going down the tubes financially.  But Rachel Maddow is willing to do her part to help.  She's taking a five million dollar a year cut in pay.  Now she's going to have to survive on a mere twenty five million dollars a year.... to do a show once a week.  Ya gotta see the humor in that, especially since she may not have a job much longer. 

What boggles my mind is what ever possessed the nitwit leadership at MSNBC to pay her anywhere near that kind of money.   Get real, they're talking heads, but the argument is they get ratings, and ratings generate advertising. Well, maybe they wouldn't have needed so much advertising if networks hadn't been so stupid paying nitwits like Rachel Maddow and Chris Wallace obscene amounts of money.  

But, the worm is turning, and streaming is going to take all that lovely, lovely cable bundling money away.  The consequence of that?   It seems to me both MSNBC and CNN will be sold at fire sale prices,  and if that happens it seems to me Whoopie and company will be gone, and they won't be alone in the unemployment line.   Now's the time for all these wealthy so-called conservatives to stand and deliver.  Buy them up, turn them around, make them successful, and Elon Musk might actually buy MSNBC.   But even if no one buys these networks and fires these vile nitwits, it seems clear they'll be out of a job anyway, because there will be no job.

Greg Gutfeld claims MSNBC now stands for "Must Sell Network Before Christmas".  The executives at these networks are running scared, even forcing a co-host on 'The View' to "read four legal notes" during the episode on Friday.  Something they'd not have done if  Trump hadn't won, nor would they done so in after his 2016 win.  This victory changed all that!  This victory was different!  They're disgusted the public with their intellectual corruption, their vileness, their lies, their smug arrogance, and it "signals the end of the left’s control of the mainstream media [and] advanced the demise of MSNBC and CNN for good reason".  And this includes the print media as WaPo fires the senior politics editor.

Schadenfreude!

Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! Part II

CNN has been tanking for years, it's continued existence is in question, and they're facing a major defamation fight with James O'Keefe they're most like to lose as the judge who ordered this case to be continued said:

"If you stay on the bench long enough, you see a lot of things. Still, I never thought I'd see a major news organization downplaying the importance of telling the truth in its broadcasts. But that is what CNN has done in this case."

 

If CNN had issued a retraction, which is what was originally asked of them, this could have been avoided, but they didn't because they deceived themselves into believing they could deliberately lie and get away with it by hiding behind the New York Time v. Sullivan decision, since actual malice is hard to prove, and it's long overdue for Sullivan to be overturned.

CNN has it's troubles, and the nation can smile.   At CNN they're going to chop hundreds, including network stars off the payroll.  

"If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they're not reading any of this media, and we've lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form."..........The report cited Nielsen ratings for CNN, and also MSNBC, that revealed the networks' audiences have vanished. They're down by 40% or more. "Insiders told Puck the new round of firings will likely see on-air talent like them affected, as the network's new CEO looks to free up finances amid waning ratings," ............

In the midst of this Chris Wallace has decided to forego his seven million dollar a year salary in order to podcast.   Chris Wallace is leaving because "at 77, is eager to see what a transformed media environment has to offer, and neither he or his family want him to retire, and he wants more control over what he produces, which will be "unbiased".  Yeah right!  While I'm sure he's more than financially secure, it still comes down to this.  If he couldn't carry the freight at CNN, what makes him think he can carry the freight on his own.

Wallace, who CNN thinks is "one the the most respected political journalists int he news business" was hired at CNN to be their lead guy at CNN+ streaming service which lasted a month. 

• Even CNN’s Star Personalities Won’t Be Safe From Firings Amid Massive Ratings Drop-Off

One of the things I found interesting is all of a sudden we're seeing the worm turning on air.  In times past they made sure everyone was in lock step. No on dared dispute the leftist meme of the moment.  All over the Pravda media they played the bully boy making sure no one dared to defend conservative views, and big tech censored any one who did.  

All the panels were rigged, just like The View with one weak conservative and multiple mouthy leftists who interrupted and talked over the "conservative", constantly spewing out red herring fallacies in order to altering the subject at hand. 

But what happens when a bully has been shown to be a punk?  We're now seeing their own defending those they hate.  And even proclaiming their constant far left drum beat helped elect Trump.  Why?  Because they see the handwriting on the wall, and the bully is almost down and out.   

• Update:  CNN's Scott Jennings: I Did Not Expect Hitler to Get So Many Meeting Requests

Paraphrasing Daniel Greenfield:  "all this reflects the larger reality that most leftist organizations are interchangeable pieces of the same movement with the exact same politics who use different brands to appeal to different demographics."   For the media this is like an infectious communicable disease, and they're all collapsing together as a result.   Let's hope they continue on down that dark path.
