Electing a Fake President, Undoing a Real One: The Power of the Media
American Thinker ^ | January 16, 2017 | Mark A. Hewitt

Posted on 01/16/2017 11:01:02 AM PST by Kaslin

Early last year, I interviewed for a senior editor's position with the Federal Aviation Administration. The supervisor of the group had done some research on my writings and asked if I would be able to maintain the government's narrative. The office did press releases for government officials and the public on the next-generation air traffic control system, as the FAA transitioned from a radar-based ATC to a global positioning system-based program. As senior editor, I would ensure our office's prime directive that the new GPS-based ATC program was vitally necessary to combat global warming. I write conservative novels and I wasn't a good fit.

The latest official narrative trajectory is that Russia interfered with our presidential election and that President-Elect Donald Trump is an illegitimate president. Americans are to ignore several facts – Hillary didn't campaign in Wisconsin or Michigan, the Russians couldn't have changed any vote tallies, Julian Assange said he didn't get John Podesta's emails from the Russians, etc. – and the list of excuses why Secretary Clinton lost grows every day. National newspapers and networks have picked up the newest and obviously false narrative that "Trump is an illegitimate president" and have run with it.

When the media desire, they can function like a swarm of bees or a pack of jackals to bring down their prey. Conservative radio stations and TV shows often create a compendium of sound bites from liberal sources to demonstrate to their audiences just how the media function like a swarm of drone bees and attack with "the word or phrase of the day." The goal of the demonstration is to convey that the media somehow receive some "approved" narrative or talking point, for it is widely and immediately dispatched and regurgitated on air, where it becomes de facto news.

These traitorous bastards have a lot of nerve saying the American people did not elect Trump. Push back at these turds.

The only reasonable explaination is that Director Comey is a Russian stooge.

"The only reasonable explanation." You didn't explain...explanation for what?

The only hacking that cost Hillary the election was that hacking eminating from her fat trachea which gave voters pause that she was physically not up to the job.

The limp noodle impersonation on 9/11 was the nail in the coffin, plus she was less a candidate than McCain, Dole, and Romney combined.

“As senior editor, I would ensure our office’s prime directive that the new GPS-based ATC program was vitally necessary to combat global warming. I write conservative novels and I wasn’t a good fit.”

You would think being an author of fiction would make one well qualified to talk about global warming.

What are they saying there, that radar waves causes global warming, but satellite radio waves to your GPS receiver does not cause global warming?

What about microwave radio towers? What about all the cars on the road with distance and blind spot detectors? What about all the government radio telescopes pointed at the sky?

That was the meaning of the headline.
Obama was never eligible to be President.
He is not a natural born citizen.
Hence, fake President.

Au contraire — this explanation seems reasonable and doesn’t require Russian scapegoating:

Well, with the current case, yes, they (the powerful media) got a fake president elected, but they can’t undue this real one.

They’ll keep trying, but they will not succeed.

And starting Friday the media will be by itself making up lies...they won’t have the apparatus of the Obama government aiding and abetting them.

Radio telescopes are receivers only -- not transmitters.

I know, just like the GPS receivers in all the airplanes and all the cars on the ground.
