Why media will never recover from Trump shock
wnd.com ^ | 8/25/2017 | Mason Weaver

Posted on 08/25/2017 7:24:44 AM PDT by rktman

It is fascinating to watch the Trump Phenomenon! The old guard, New World Order folks and those who have become successful the way things are expect things to remain the way they are. They expect to be in charge of what you love, hate, distrust and depend upon. They have been able to control your passion, interest and actions. We have all become influenced by what they call mean, intolerant, right and wrong. But no more will we follow losing belief systems.

Black Americans were never bothered by a Confederate flag, until we were told to be. No one, I mean NO ONE cared about a statue of a general in a park, until we were told to do so. How many of you needed a safe space before safe spaces were invented? We are playing follow the leader with folks who admit they cannot lead.

It has all changed and changed rapidly. They have not even caught on yet, but it is over. They will look back at pre-2016 as the “good old days” back when they were relevant. After decades of training our children in indoctrination centers (public schools), entertainment, social activism and political beliefs, how did it all go wrong so fast?

The media declared Hillary a historical figure, but her own party looked at her as hysterical. They brushed Trump away as the last candidate of the dying Republican Party, but he grew more and more powerful as they attacked him.

Thanks Mr. Weaver. Of course they're PO'd. Someone tossed a square peg in to their round hole and they haven't a clue how to deal with it. Their only idea is to attack the round peg. And of course gin up hatred and try guide the story the way they want it.

Also, maybe we should put a “DNR” tag on the toe of the msm.

The same way the Soviet Union collapsed and the Berlin Wall came down. Sooner or later the music stops, and there are far more lies than chairs.

One of my favorite quotes from the day after the election:

"The mainstream media is in a state of shock. Liberals are having fits. And the ocean is still rising, as one of my Twitter followers observed, only it’s because of liberal tears."

Joseph Goebbels would be proud of the ultra-left media... The Nazi’s may be gone, but their manipulative media tactics and core values continue on in the form of CNN, CBS, MSNBC, etc., etc.

One quibble. I don’t think Trump plans to pardon sheriff Joe, at least at this time. He’s hoping Joe will be exonerated through the appeal process, which is cleaner.

That’s why Trump said he’s not pardoning him now but he should “feel good”. If Joe loses his appeal, then Trump might pardon him.

“But no more will we follow losing belief systems.”

This would be a great situation but it won’t maintain. The people of the US have been listening to the evening news since the invention of the radio. And the public as a whole, is never going to give up the convenience of letting someone think for them. Their time is too valuable to waste determining what is in their best interest.

So when Trump wears out his message of the media lies, calling it by a softer name of fake news, and no one is in the wings ready to continue the attack upon them, it will slide back into what it was. That has been the history of this country since it’s creation in the late 1700’s.

Enjoy it while you can. The media will continue long after the message does. Especially since the media can bury it and keep their jobs of destruction to sell their news(?) with more lies and mirrors. Most of the public doesn’t care and doesn’t want to know as long as they are fat and sassy. Look at the damage that has happened in just the eight years of Obama? And all he had was the lies supported by the media that sold it. But that’s all he needed.

Their “rent a mob” agitators are funny and fake.

Their looting will not persuade us.

We will handle their traveling bands of uninformed, masked clowns, and the lewd left will submit to us.

I know they are dangerous and highly motivated, but I also know who we are. We are Americans

The media has tripled down on the Trump criticism, but all it is, is more cowbell.

The media are full of liars who have an agenda … ALL OF THE MEDIA. I think that is why Steve Bannon left the White House, to head up the patriots’ resistance to the mainstream press. Bannon is retuning to Brietbart to head up the real resistance. Brietbart will soon become one of the few primary sources for truth and information. Trump is now openly challenging the GOP leadership and campaigning against them in the primaries and within their districts.

What you're overlooking here is that every form of traditional media has been losing readers, viewers, etc. for years.

What you're seeing with these AntiFa riots and these silly monument protests isn't the result of people following what the media is telling them. It's a bunch of misfits and losers who will listen to anything they want to hear.

“........gin up hatred and try guide the story the way they want it.”......

Clearly describes exactly what is the present method of attacking Trump. We have all seen in before as its the name of their game, destroy your opponent with hatred words, paint the bleakest and most negative picture you can, riot against anything, cause disruption when and wherever. IT”S WHAT THEY DO and have done forever. “Throwing” everything at your opponent takes the camera off of YOU. Well, “It’s over!”

Honesty is the best policy, the media does not understand why this is true - they soon will.
