It’s pretty apparent to me that Trump is one of the few Republican presidents who is actually working hard to deliver mid-term victories.
There's no question about it. Omarosa was one of many hires who will wind up fired or otherwise out of a job. It happened during the campaign, during the transition, and during the administration, to a lot of people, and there's nothing wrong with it. Candidate Trump said he was going to generate more publicity and attention than anyone has ever seen. The PMS have figured out that they've been doing his work for him no matter what he does or says or what they try as a smear. After the November BBQing their fellow Dewmits receive, the PMS are going to purge their own ranks, the same way they've been trying to purge new media.

Yes, SunkenDiv.  I smell the juicy fat cooking on that Barb-B!  The big question is: exactly how will the PMS media thin its own ranks?  These are nasty cats and if you try to lift them up by the tail, they could scratch you half to death.

There's a long history of publishers who have tried to "reform" the ideas of editors and reporters.  Remember the famous maxim: "never argue with someone who buys ink by the barrel".

Take Newsweek.  In print, they are officially "out of publication", but the rag lives on in special editions and on its website.

At my local library, I see Christian Science Monitor still on the shelf.  Never seen anybody read it. The magazine today is thoroughly Leftist infested.  But it lives on because magazine printing is so cheap and libraries consider it an automatic renewal subscription.

Consider too, the Leftists are deeply divided among themselves.  So who gets purged first?  The Moderate Liberal commentator or the Bernie Communist?

Another weird dynamic is #MeToo.  I subscribe to Fortune Magazine because I'm a tech journalist/analyst myself, and the magazine has for decades been the standard of lively business writing.

But when I read Fortune magazine these days, maybe two thirds of the stories are slanted toward virtue signaling for women in business, leftist politics, a strong bias toward the tech companies and environmental issues, etc.

So I seriously question whether the #MeToo females are holding it over the heads of the editors of Fortune.   Look what happened to Matt Lauer.

The very best way to destroy the Fake Media is exactly what Trump is doing.  Put the pressure on them through Twitter.  Drive the growth of conservative social media, and call out the PMS for their hypocrisy.

In short, to thin the ranks of the Fake Media, it must be done from the outside.  Internal change is near impossible. Destroy their advertising base.  The publications will live on, but they become irrelevant.

Hey, I just posted a new meme called The Donald's 101 Walk Aways.
