Ya know, it really pisses me off when I hear from so
many in both the Democrat Party and in our ‘news’ media about how there is
simply no such thing as ‘fake news.’ And
it’s these very same people who also accuse President Trump of saying that the
‘news’ media is the enemy of the people.
And yet who is it that seems to go out of their way in an effort to
leave no doubt that, yes, there is actually is ‘fake new’ and also that yes IT is
the enemy of the people. Oddly enough it’s
the very same people who still continue to deny that ‘fake news’ even exists in
the first place.
For instance, NBC News was recently forced to admit
that it aired a deceptively edited clip this past Sunday of Attorney General
Bill Barr talking about former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s
case. The clip, which aired on Chuck
Todd’s “Meet the Press” program, showed Barr being asked by CBS News’ Catherine
Herridge (formerly of Fox News) how the decision to dismiss Flynn’s case will
be viewed upon looking back. Todd played
a clip that showed Barr responding by saying that “history is written by the
winners, so it largely depends on who’s writing the history.”
Todd immediately chastised Barr for the comment,
saying he was “struck by the cynicism of the answer – it’s a correct answer,
but he’s the attorney general. He didn’t
make the case that he was upholding the rule of law. He was almost admitting that, yeah, this was a
political job.” However, the clip that
NBC News played did not show that Barr did, in fact, say that the decision
“upheld the rule of law.” The network
was immediately called out on the deceptively edited clip, and NBC’s “Meet the
Press” Twitter did eventually admit wrongdoing in a reply tweet.
It was after Department of Justice spokeswoman Kerri
Kupec trashed the clip in a tweet that NBC ‘News’ took the coward’s way and
simply tweeted, “You’re correct. Earlier today, we inadvertently and
inaccurately cut short a video clip of an interview with AG Barr before
offering commentary and analysis. The remaining clip included important remarks
from the attorney general that we missed, and we regret the error.” I think we all know that there was absolutely
nothing ‘inadvertent’ about it. It was nothing
but another example of ‘fake news’ that supposedly doesn’t happen.
The network and the show have not yet said if they
will issue any sort of an on-air correction, but don’t waste your time waiting for
that to happen, because that’s simply not how these faux journalist-types
operate. The Justice Department moved to
drop the case against Flynn Thursday after internal memos sparked red flags
regarding the investigation into him. White
House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was just one of many who called NBC News
out for the clip before the network commented. McEnany called it “completely dishonest
editing” in a tweet Sunday.
President Trump, too, tweeted that Todd “should be
FIRED … for this fraud” Sunday evening. President Trump tweeted that Todd “knew
exactly what he was doing” and called the network “Fake News.” The president’s tweet was in response to one
from Mollie Hemingway, a senior editor at The Federalist, who criticized the
network for admitting the error in a tweet. Curtis Houck, the managing editor of
Newsbusters, added that the tweet was “merely a reply” and therefore “doesn’t
appear on their main timeline.” Houck
tweeted that NBC’s tweet was, “Absurd and cowardly.”
Look, this is the very reason why a majority of
Americans no longer trust what they hear from those in the media. It has been over the course of his presidency
that Donald Trump has repeatedly described the ‘fake news’ media as being the “enemy
of the people,” and he’s right. And here
too he has been misquoted by those like Todd who have accused the president of
calling the media, in general, an enemy of the people, and that’s not at all what
he said. Those in the media have always
leaned a bit to the left, but there were, once upon a time, bona fide
journalists. No more!
Todd is a dishonest turd who possesses zero
credibility regardless of the topic being discussed. The abuse against General Flynn isn't even a
close call. It's disgusting, and that
Todd and the other Russian collusion-delusion hoaxers can’t bring themselves to
admit that an injustice has now been corrected speaks volumes about just how
dishonest they are. Todd is a Democrat
activist masquerading as a journalist. The
guy didn’t even graduate from college. He’s a pompous elitist clown who thinks
he knows more than do the people around him, and he knows absolutely nothing.
This vile and gross abuse of news
reporting/commenting is very disturbing and has been disturbing for a long
period of time - especially from exceedingly deceptive, biased and dishonest
people like Todd. But remember, leftists
like Todd always claim they are purveyors of truth which is why they have to
continually lie, mislead, or censor.
Todd is a mindless news reader who spouts words written for him by
someone else. What he doesn’t read is
told to him through his earpiece. While
he didn't edit the video he was only too happy to run with it as it fit the
narrative exactly.
We know that the Democrats, as well as their many minions
in the ‘fake news’ business, will do whatever it is they feel is necessary to
‘win.’ And that, of course, includes telling
all manner of lies, spreading all manner of propaganda, taking part in all
manner of fear-mongering, cheating, and misrepresentation. And when caught taking part in any of these activities
they are always very quick to claim that it was totally inadvertent, was just some
sort of a “mistake,” or they will claim that they did it “for a good and just
cause” as if these excuses are actually to be believed.
Todd reminds me of a disgusting rat and I must admit
that I’m confused why there are still people who continue to watch him or any
other of our faux journalists? There is
nothing they say that can be believed. During this ‘Chinese virus’ they have harmed
this country materially and on a daily basis by fomenting fear and hysteria. Those like Todd have pushed the Russian collusion
campaign, covered for Hitlery, defended ‘BO’ and have actively spread all
manner of lies on a daily basis. Their
hatred of President Trump and those who voted for him is pure Trump Derangement
Syndrome (TDS).
This is simply the way these people operate today,
knowing full well that those who remain stupid enough to watch them will simply
run with whatever they’re being told without bothering to do any due diligence
whatsoever regarding the truth of what they’re being told. These supposed ‘journalists’ don’t, nor will
they ever, mind apologizing profusely after whatever damage has been done. Because they know people will never remember their
‘apology,’ because most will likely never hear it. So all that ends up sticking in anyone’s mind,
is the attention grabbing BIG LIE.
The only ones who are really able to hold these
‘fake news’ spewing outlets to account are those of us who are considered to be
their consumers. We need to accept as fact
that we are being lied two 24/7/365. Perhaps if we were to let them know that we
know we’re being lied to and that if they persist in expecting us to believe the
drivel they insist upon peddling we will simply choose to take our business
elsewhere. We also must make them
understand, and in no uncertain terms, that we are most definitely not near as
stupid as they seem to think that we are.
The rule under which so many in today’s Democrat Party as well as those in the ‘fake news’ media now operate says: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” We all need to be aware.
