Inside the media’s relentless crusade to destroy President Trump
The New York Post ^ | October 13, 2019 | Kimberley Strassel

Posted on 10/12/2019 11:40:25 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Since Donald Trump’s election in 2016, the mainstream media has shed its once-noble mission — the pursuit of the truth — and instead adopted a new purpose: to take down the president. In an excerpt from her new book, “Resistance at All Costs: How Trump Haters are Breaking America,” out Tuesday, KIMBERLEY STRASSEL examines how far the press will go in its relentless crusade . . .

Last week The Washington Post revealed the alarming news that House Democrats were considering having their anonymous “whistleblower” testify from a remote location, and in disguise. Just as shocking as the details of this plan was the justification the Post ladled on this Democratic effort to hide impeachment information from the public.

It explained, high up in the story, that the cloak-and-dagger approach was merely Democrats expressing “distrust of their GOP colleagues, whom they see as fully invested in defending a president who has attacked the whistleblower’s credibility and demanded absolute loyalty from Republicans.”

This, from a newspaper with a tagline of “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”

Maybe the better journalistic epitaph is: Democracy dies in bias. How did journalism get here?

I’ve never engaged much in media criticism, because it’s almost too obvious. Yes, the mainstream media is liberal and biased. But at least in the past, that bias was largely a function of insularity. Most reporters weren’t even fully aware they were prejudiced politically; everyone they worked and socialized with held the same left-of-center views.

Aaron Klein, investigative reporter, had a TERRIFIC show tonight on 970 AM from 10 p.m.-12 a.m. Saturday night. He had various guests and presented his own airtight research which linked the whistleblowers to shell organizations financed by Soros, and very revealing stuff about Hunter Biden, etc., etc. The podcast isn’t out yet, but this show was outstanding!

The insane democrat media is so sold on their partisanship that they can’t even see they are killing their own industry with their constant, ridiculously unfair agitprop. The public is starting to wake up to the fact that they’re only playing for one team and that that team is nothing but a pack of rabid liars.

Every single day Trump must rise above a nest of vipers, serpents and wolves put to destroy him s he does so with wit and style.

Trump is the bravest man, the wisest man and the most inspiring man the Republic Has known since Washington.

Trump is sustained by the prayers of many and the favor of God almighty.

God doesn’t pick perfect people. He knew what he was doing in appointing Trump and at this moment of all moments.

Many great men of God have said they have never felt the Lord’s presence stronger than whilst in Trump’s presence.

The light of the Divine shines strong on our President.

True story: A pastor who is a friend of the President told him after her was elected, “You know you were selected.” And the President replied, “I know.”

Trump is not perfect, but the Lord has a pattern of picking imperfect people to carry out his will.

The problem so much of the media seems not to consider is the last line of the excerpt. “I’ve never engaged much in media criticism, because it’s almost too obvious. Yes, the mainstream media is liberal and biased. But at least in the past, that bias was largely a function of insularity. Most reporters weren’t even fully aware they were prejudiced politically; everyone they worked and socialized with held the same left-of-center views.”

How can any reporter after the last 4 years claim that the LSM are not biased? Is there anyone in a position of power in any of their organizations with an interest in maintaining an appearance of impartiality?

" — the pursuit of the truth — "

The once noble US free press has lost all interest in the pursuit of truth or of truthfully informing the public. It has become a political propaganda machine, designed to protect the corrupt and their interests.

American journalists have lost their way. They have cast their lot on the side of evil and hatred, their objective: to destroy him who would make America great and shine the light of truth.

America truly teeters on the brink of the abyss of evil, hate, decadence, and destruction. President Trump and his supporters believe that they can bring America back from the abyss and send her soaring once again into ascendency, truth, and godliness. Pray that they are right. Pray that they succeed.

GODLESS NATIONS FALL!
MAGA!

“What happens next?”

It’ll get worse. Election wins and loses. But Leftists’ propaganda and division continues until outright persecution of conservatives occurs.

Unless the media is completely destroyed by unequivocal truth that can be seen and understood by the 60-70% that hasn’t taken sides yet. Declas information, if it exists, for example.
