The Media Still Turn Tricks for The Democrat Party
By Joan Swirsky
There’s a good reason I wrote about the media’s
prostitutes a few years ago, actually,
seven years ago, with a preface that apologized to
legitimate prostitutes who made an honest living.
What I reported then was based on the formidable
work of ace journalist Ashley Lutz, who scrupulously
documented her findings in a Business Insider
report.
Lutz reported that in 1983, there were 50 media
companies, but early in this century, as well as
today, only six
organizations are responsible for 90
percent or more of all the “news” we read, watch,
and listen to! They include:
-
GE (Comcast, NBC, Universal Pictures, Focus
Features, et al)
-
NewsCorp (Fox News, 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).
WHAT HAPPENED?
It used to be that, of those six gigantic
corporations, only one of them was politically
conservative—specifically, Rupert Murdoch’s
NewsCorp. The rest were uniformly left or far-left
propaganda machines.
Why? Because their bosses—Chief Executive Officers
and billionaire owners—were all globalists,
idealogues who fervently, passionately,
megalomaniacally, and narcissistically believed and
believe to this very nanosecond that it is they,
these self-appointed Masters of the Universe, who
should be running the world, and not the idiotic
morons who continue to procreate, take up valuable
space, drive gasoline-fueled cars, and waste
fortunes of money on antiquated concepts like
religion, the belief in two-parent families, the
value of the 1st and second amendment rights of free
speech and gun ownership, and so on.
And then, in 2015, Murdoch ceded a great deal of
control of NewsCorp to his RINO son Lachlan and his
leftist son James, who have moved their most
reliable conservative media outlets significantly to
the left, although not completely. Follow the money!
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS
Ms. Wide-Eyed Idealist and Mr. Upward-Mobility apply
for jobs at their local or national radio or TV
stations or newspapers, or maybe they “know someone”
who facilitates an interview that leads to their
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 they learn that their
bosses don’t give a damn about anything they think,
believe, 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.
If they don’t do that, they are completely dispensable!
One example is Alysin Camerota of CNN. When she was
at Fox, she was Ms. Reliable-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 business works. Toe the line, or you’re
out! The same can be said of all the self-important
newscasters, anchors, and hosts whose media bosses
quite literally give them their marching orders—or,
more accurately, their talking orders. 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, the
same expressions, and the same keywords.
I first noticed this when Dick Cheney was chosen as
George W. Bush’s VP candidate. Suddenly, the media
talking heads discovered the word “gravitas”! We
still witness this echo chamber every day.
Objectivity has never been part of the media’s
agenda, 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
have literally been commanded to utilize at the risk
of their jobs. There’s not an original word, phrase,
or sentence!
And watch these [dispensable] media shills try to
impress their bosses by competing in the categories
of “best gotcha question,” “most [feigned] outrage,”
most blank-faced faux objectivity,” and “most
vilification toward President Trump,” whom these
disrespectful [dispensable] employees insist on
calling “Trump.”
WHY THE FEROCITY?
The question still remains: Why the fanatical,
obsessive, literally crazed hatred of President
Trump? The answer is quite simple: In every single
case of what used to pass as politics as usual, he
has single-handedly identified and challenged the
following as bad for America:
-
The prevailing powers-that-be and their
collusion in the global agenda
-
The Democrat Party,
-
Treaties like NATO and others,
-
The open-borders fetish,
-
The global warming hoax,
-
The rigged voting system,
-
The irrelevance—and malevolence—of the United
Nations,
-
The monolith known as the American media.
How? By giving voice to what the American people
have known and been angry about for decades, namely,
that these institutions, events, and ideologies are
corrupt, permeated with bribes and payoffs,
self-serving, and, in too many cases, anti-American,
anti the U.S. Constitution, anti the Judeo-Christian
ethics upon which our exceptional nation was
founded, and, quite openly now, virulently
anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, and anti-Jew!
WHAT’S NEXT?
For eight long years, the Left has conspired against
President Trump, fabricating—and this is the short
list—a Russian-collusion hoax, the Stormy Daniels
fiasco, the preposterous impeachment attempts, the
phony January 6 “insurrection” fiction, the
classified documents at Mar-A-Lago scam, and an
avalanche of lawfare suits pursued by career leftist
prosecutors and decided by career leftist judges.
Nothing worked!
And then it was mid-July 2024—less than four months
from the election—and the left’s arch-nemesis was
not only still standing but commanding massive
crowds in weekly rallies around the country and
demonstrating an ebullient optimism about the future
of America, which is tantamount to arsenic to
Democrats whose glasses are always half empty and
whose sky is always falling.
What to do? It’s probably not a coincidence that a
cascade of inexplicable Secret Service failures
paved the way for an almost-successful assassination
attempt against Donald Trump. Indeed, Cherie
Zaslawsky (and many others) theorize that our
own intelligence services, rather than
displaying a Freudian level of incompetence guarding
a man many despised, may have facilitated the
attempt.
To demonstrate just how craven and dishonest our
media are, here is a small sample of the headlines
that followed this history-altering assassination
attempt:
A word of advice. Don’t believe anything you hear,
read, or listen to on the so-called mainstream
media—not a word, not a phrase, not a suggestion,
not a theory. Their agenda, as we’ve learned over
the past eight years, is to obey the moneybags’
globalists who prefer socialism-cum-communism to the
glorious freedom that the Founding Fathers of
America envisioned and actualized almost 250 years
ago.
Yes, the media whores will still be with us, but
when you decide to turn them off, they, too, will go
the way of the dinosaurs they have always been.
