The Trump Nail in the Media Coffin

Mainstream news sources exposed their own long-held biases through their extended meltdown over Trump. President-elect Donald Trump probably will not often communicate with the nation via traditional press conferences. Nor will Trump likely field many questions from New York/Washington journalists. What we know as “the media” never imagined a Trump victory. It has become unhinged at the reality of a Trump presidency.

No wonder the fading establishment media is now distrusted by a majority of the public, according to Gallup — and becoming irrelevant even among progressives. Once upon a time in the 1960s, all the iconic news anchors, from Walter Cronkite to David Brinkley, were liberal. But they at least hid their inherent biases behind a professional veneer that allowed them to filter stories through left-wing lenses without much pushback. When Cronkite returned from Vietnam after the 1968 Tet Offensive and declared the war stalemated and unwinnable, no one dared to offer the dissenting viewpoint that Tet was actually a decisive American victory.

Hence, the urgent need for the MSM to attack all internet news services as FAKE NEWS reports, even though it has ALWAYS BEEN MSM who reported fake events to the public.

We have been lied to our entire lives about this rotten government and all of its illegal and immoral dealings abroad. This includes the fake terror events of recent, as well as the bogus wars of aggression fought in foreign lands for the financial benefit of American / Western corporations.

Finally, some of the sheeple are waking up to the lies of this government and the propaganda pieces which MSM represent.
