The last scene in “Thelma and Louise” exemplifies what the Mainstream Media have done to themselves:
That description came fom Matt TabaII in the November 15th podcast after Walter Kirn spoke of the
denial that the papers trafficked in about the economy in which they all echoed this thought that things were great and people just had a faulty perception of their own financial condition. I mean, they did everything they could really to jump off a cliff. And they all jumped off a cliff holding hands, screaming Hitler.
Previously, Tabaii told of the drop in viewership:
primetime viewership at MSNBC has fallen 53% from October. If you go down, you’ll see The Rachel Maddow Show this past Monday had 1.3 million viewers, which is a million shy of her October average. So this coupled with some news about mass layoffs at some other papers, there are rumors about, let’s just say some of the bigger newspapers are about to take the ax to their staffs.
(Rachael Maddow, by the way, wrote an excellent biography of Spiro Agnew. Learning of his taking cash bribes from uncompleted contracts awarded when he was Governor–10% of the contract–while in his office in the Executive Office Building next to the White House, where I worked in the Bureau of the Budge shed a completely new view for the former Vice President.)
Tabaii compared now to after Trump’s 2016 victor:
you would expect this after an election loss, except that’s exactly what didn’t happen in 2016. What happened in 2016 is that the press rebranded itself as the resistance, right?
It was democracy died in darkness. And they turned upside down the traditional pattern of news organizations losing market share after elections. Because what normally happens is news companies make money on ads, election ads during the election years, and then they kind of gut it out for the fallow seasons.
But after Trump got elected the first time, they all made massive fortunes for 2017, 2018, all the way through the middle of 2019 or so until the Mueller report collapsed.
Kirn added, “They had Days of Our Mueller, the long-running soap opera to keep them going,” and
It was as though they could not consider the possibility of failure. When they reviewed the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden as some sort of Nazi rally and did so almost unanimously, I thought, well, this is their Thelma and Louise movement. They just sped up to, they went from 60 to 70 to 90, and here they are flying over the Grand Canyon, and gravity can’t be escaped forever. So I think you’re right. The night of the election, you wrote and said, “So many people are going to lose their jobs now.”
Sunday John Kass piled on
Fox News Washington establishment pearl-clutcher Neal Cavuto…pretends he’s worried and shocked about Trump’s proposed cabinet selections.
Cavuto clutched his pearls on Trump’s selection of Trump loyalist and firebrand Matt Gaetz as attorney general, Fox News host and decorated combat veteran Pete Hegseth as defense secretary, former Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy Jr for Secretary of Health and Human Services among others. They promised change and the establishment wants to weaken him and destroy them.
Gaetz exposed the Department of Justice and cross-examined corrupt operatives pushing the Russia collusion hoax. In turn he was smeared by anonymous sources in corrupt media that alleged he was involved in sex trafficking and other rumored crimes, but he was never charged...
Some of Trump’s cabinet nominees have driven the left beyond madness, into the insanity best expressed in padded cells. U.D. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., is facing backlash online for claiming that Tulsie Gabbard, President-elect Trump’s pick for Director of National Intelligence (DNI), is “likely a Russian asset.” That seems like a poisonous culture bred in Hillary Clinton’s large box of wine. And Gaetz makes them ill. But he’s loyal. And Trump needs loyalists around him or the election will be a failure.
He continues,
Trump’s landslide victory and the speed with which he’s made cabinet appointments might be too much for some to deal with. If so, I’d recommend everyone take a deep breath and realize that the corrupt and broken corporate legacy media is dying. Avoid them. The hunters have become the hunted. The Deep State is terrified. And that’s why their agents are squealing like cornered rats.
Kass suggest chekcing
out the Federalist magazine. Eddie Scary has a solid piece “Solid Rule For Trump Admin 2.0: Ignore Whatever The Media Are Mad About!”
