Media Firemen Scramble to Save Biden Candidacy
American Thinker.com ^ | October 27, 2020 | Jack Cashill

Watching the media scramble these last two weeks to save Joe Biden’s candidacy, I am reminded of a scene in Ray Bradbury’s 1953 dystopian sci-fi classic, Fahrenheit 451, 451 degrees Fahrenheit being the temperature at which paper burns.

In the novel, the state employs “firemen” to burn paper lest the few civilians who care about books avail themselves of information the state does not want them to have. During the Biden stretch run, the firemen on the left have shredded what is left of their reputations as journalists to destroy information the Deep State does not want their audiences to have.

Even before Hunter Biden’s laptop surfaced, the media busied themselves suppressing information that was readily available to the ordinary citizen -- montages of Biden plagiarizing, groping little girls, making racially insensitive comments, eulogizing exalted KKK cyclops, threatening Ukrainian prosecutors, even sexually assaulting at least one very credible Democrat -- and they did so with enough success that the Biden camp felt comfortable positioning Joe as the candidate with “character.”

The Hunter laptop was too tangible to dispose of subtly. Not since Joseph Goebbels urged the German Student Union “to commit to the flames the evil spirit of the past” has a western nation so flagrantly thrown in on the side of ignorance. Twitter has gotten most of the attention for its total blocking of the New York Post, which broke the laptop story, but the firemen at NPR were not far behind.

I think the reason the media hates Trump is because they no longer get invited to the swanky cocktail parties

I had to change the channel away from Fox this morning because I just could not stand Sandra Smith and her emphasis on how many Covid cases there are everywhere. She was sounding like and emergency broadcast system trying to scare everyone into hiding. I couldn’t stand it so I changed to Stuart Varney

Google does that. You can block any add by clicking on it and follow the instructions. It won’t show up again.

The Covid fear-porn narrative will turn out to have suppressed election day Democratic turnout (because Democrats _believe_ mass media narratives.

It is also crippling Democratic canvassing and other voter mobilizing efforts.

Think of the mass media as white southern sheriffs with German shepherds keeping terrified Democratic voters away from the polls.

Wait until they find out what they have done!

I hope you’re right with respect to fear porn affecting only Democrats. I attend a large, independent Bible church in the northern Dallas suburbs with a very well known pastor. Masks are recommended but not mandatory. Yet over 90% of church attenders wear masks in the church lobby. This is a church where Trump bumper stickers are on several cars. Too many of the members of my church have bought the MSM narrative.

And yesterday Sandra Smith felt the need to repeatedly point out that the President was hitting the campaign trail “trying to close the gap” with Biden.

Apparently, the woman has never heard of Rasmussen.

I wear a mask in public places for the same reason I don’t light my cigars in public places—not because of the fear porn but just because life is too short to antagonize folks for no reason.

I wouldn’t read too much into mask-wearing.

The mass media is so stupid they believe their own lies.

You can’t fix stupid.

Seems unlikely: Bannon and gang dropped some real bombs today on his podcast.

Near the end of the podcast, they play a damning audio of Hunter admitting his partner is a Chinese spy. He also mentions that Devon Archer named him and father as a witness in a criminal case. The clip starts about 1:53:00. Lots of juicy stuff starting about 53 minutes in as well. I suspect there were be shorter clips making the rounds later.
