President Donald J. Trump held a campaign style rally last weekend
in a huge airplane hangar in Melbourne, Florida, and despite a wildly
enthusiastic capacity audience that overflowed to the outside, his words had
barely ceased resonating inside before the media caterwauling began.
"He wasn't 'specific' about terrorism in Sweden; he called
us the enemy; his wife said the Lord's
Prayer and had to read it!
Trump is not 'qualified,' his White House is a study in 'chaos,' he isn't
getting anything done!"
The left-wing media and its associated fifth-columnist
saboteurs are literally in a frenzy of character assault, spewing non-stop misinformation
yet clueless as to why their fellow-traveling saboteur methodology is not
working this time. The primary focus of the most recent round of hand-wringing
and self-absorption that has sent the left into spasms of angst is Trump's
defining the media as the enemy of the American public.
But Trump isn't necessarily wrong here. The media as it is
known – particularly that sector describe as "Main Stream" – can not
be compared to true journalists, whether print or electronic, and that has been
the case for decades.
"The media" is in fact a conglomeration of propagandists
that has its origins back at least as far as the 1930s when a
"famine" in Ukraine imposed by Russian communists' killed up to 10
million people by starvation, torture and execution in one year, but was
horribly under-reported in the west. The modern-day offspring of those first
propagandists work for the power brokers behind the Democratic Party, which no
longer represents people who believe in democratic principles. They are
self-anointed "elites," people who want the US to fail because it is
a symbol of successful nationalism.
Those earliest propagandists posing as journalists were followed
by an all-out assault on the truth during the Vietnam War that ultimately was
successful in convincing the US Congress to withdraw all aid to South Vietnam.
That in turn led to communists rampaging throughout Southeast Asia for years,
slaughtering an estimated 3 million civilians, displacing millions more and
enslaving the remainder.
Kudos by the way to conservative talk radio host Tammy Bruce
who pointed out earlier this week that the Vietnam era faux journalists were
led by Walter Cronkite, the disgraced CBS anchorman who was discovered to be a
communist sympathizer – meaning he was a communist – after the war ended. Bruce
was responding to a question concerning Cronkite's protégé and replacement at
CBS, Dan Rather, himself a disgraced "journalist" who went so far as
to falsify documents in an attempt to prevent the election of George W. Bush,
but has emerged from exile to exhort his fellows to stand fast in their
deceptions.
Regarding Trump's actual performance during his first month
in office, there are two issues that display the ignorance and incompetence of
the "media," and go a long way toward explaining the ongoing climate
of hostility toward him. First, as any business or military person knows, you
must make a plan to achieve your goals and objectives, and then you must have a
backup plan in case the first one goes awry, which it will.
The so-called media generally aren't aware of real-life
obstacles, and can't handle, physically, mentally or emotionally, any deviation
from their self-anointed destiny. In their world, Donald Trump was not supposed
to win the presidency, it was supposed to go to Hillary Clinton by default and
since it didn't they will yell, scream, throw tantrums, stamp their feet and
hold their breath until they turn blue – all of which we see on a daily
basis.
Second, many media representatives are simply reflecting
their instant gratification generation upbringing. They don't understand
concepts that don't align with fast-food burgers, over-the-counter coffee, and their
addiction to instant and public communication even if it others are put in
danger during its application, such as texting while driving. They have no
concept of percolated coffee, long simmering meals, or hand-written letters
that require thought and the ability to correctly spell our native language.
They can't get over not receiving a participation trophy for
doing everything they could, fair and foul, mostly foul, to get Clinton
nominated, including sabotaging Bernie Sanders, and then elected by similarly
sabotaging Trump. They keep waiting for someone perceived as an adult to show
up, pat their heads, tell them everything will be okay, and put them on the
path to driving Trump from office. And if Trump doesn't finish four years worth of work in the first 100 days it is failure and he owns it, or so they believe.
Yet, Trump is prevailing, day by day, issue by issue. If one
initiative is temporarily delayed, he adapts his initial plans to reflect the
new realities while simultaneously pressing onward with others. This happens in
business and the military every day. It is not unusual or a symbol of failure,
it is reality and most of us deal with it.
Even though Democrats in the US Senate are hell-bent on
disrupting what should be fairly routine approval of Trump's cabinet he still
is moving forward. Even though repealing and replacing Obamacare, the poster
child for bureaucratic overreach, ineptitude and conceit, is akin to playing
Pickup Stix with an octopus, requiring elimination one suction cup at a time
without disturbing other areas, it is getting done.
Despite a plethora of fifth-columnists left behind by
departing president Obama
to sabotage Trump's agenda, it still is moving forward. Look at what he managed
to do with immigration.
His initial executive order to temporarily halt immigration
and unvetted refugees from countries that have been identified as state
supporters of terrorism was sabotaged first by then-acting, and since fired,
Atty. General Sally Yates, and then by leftover Obama appointees in the Justice
Department who couldn't win a court challenge if they were tasked with proving
the sun comes up in the east.
They were successful in delaying Trump's policy initiatives
but he has retrenched and has issued a new immigration directive, as well as
ordering the hiring of 15,000 immigration agents and border control officers.
When those people are in place, if each of them is responsible for the
deportation of just one illegal per day, more than 5,000,000 illegals will be gone in
one year, which should go a long way toward reducing crime and welfare
abuse in that sector.
Trump was right about the media, especially those he named
and several others as well. They no longer represent an unbiased search for the
truth, and the stories they broadcast and print often aren’t news at all. But we
should not be disheartened; there still are occasional glimmers of real
journalism left in America.
Conservative talk radio has many outlets, independent blogs
that cover real news in-depth, completely and accurately are many and diverse,
and news outlets such as One American News and CRTV are shining lights in the
new journalism. But as far as the so-called mainstream media, they are indeed
an enemy to the American public, perhaps the worst and most dangerous we have
ever faced.
