Biggest Election Loser: Mainstream Media
“I’m interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of the working-class American, the anonymous American who has been crushed, insulted, condescended to,” he said. “They’re not garbage. They’re not Nazis. They’re just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids. And they feel like they have been told to just shut up when they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives.” – Scott Jennings, CNN Commentator

The 2024 presidential election is over and almost every press entity in the country is picking over the ashes and scraps in its aftermath. It is my observation the biggest loser on the night of the election wasn’t Kamala Harris or the Democratic Party but was instead the corporate big media. For the past eight years, the legacy media has been relentless in its effort to destroy Donald Trump. Nothing was too low or mean to say, nothing was above being twisted, and outright lying by the media was acceptable. Barack Obama said we weren’t ready to give up our God or our guns; Hillary Clinton called us “deplorables” and Joe Biden called us “garbage.” Describing Trump as a fascist and Nazi, it’s no wonder that he was targeted by two would-be assassins. Yet his opponents whined and the media howled when he hit back.
Clearly, there are enough Americans left in this country who are tired of the outrageous bias of the corporate media who haven’t a clue as to what it takes for an average family or person to live. Jeff Bezos came to the realization a bit late that his reporters at The Washington Post were out of touch with reality. That has been exactly the problem for the far left in this country for the better part of a decade, but it grew increasingly worse during the administration of Joe Biden.
A majority of Americans seem to realize the corporate media think we have the collective intelligence of a herd of swine and wish us all to meekly follow whatever narrative they offer, no matter how stupid, no matter how false or silly. They truly expect to control our access to information, as they did repeatedly with Big Tech. The Left and their media counterparts squalled that they loved democracy while trying to rule Trump off the ballot. The Left and the corporate media told us for 3 ½ years that Joe Biden was sharp as a tack and ran circles around his staff while falling up staircases and on stage with alarming regularity. Once that lie was exposed, they labeled Biden a hero and promptly removed him politically. In his place, they nominated by fiat a candidate who didn’t make it out of the Iowa caucuses four years earlier. Those democracy-loving leftists threw the candidate who got 14 million votes under the bus and backed over him for good measure in order to nominate a candidate who hadn’t received the first vote or won the first delegate. The elitists who now make up the Democratic Party raised $1 billion for Kamala Harris inside of three months, a new record. All across the country in the presidential race, the Senate and congressional races, they heavily outspent the Republicans. They had every advantage, a compliant and complicit media, money flowing from dark sources and corporate millionaires and billionaires.
The Republican Party has truly shed its image as the country club set and has become the political home to the working class and families. The once proud party of Andrew Jackson, Franklin Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy has become the home of self-righteous, smug narcissists who are entirely too pleased with themselves. Does anyone with a brain believe Taylor Swift goes to the grocery store, much less know what baby food or milk costs? Swift is someone who spends more on a dress than most of us spend on buying a car.
Does anyone believe George Clooney vacuums his own floors at his villa on Lake Como in Italy? Does anyone think Whoopi Goldberg knows anything about government or politics? Who in the world would take the political advice of a class of people who have forgotten where they came from and have none of the same worries of working people? Moreover, why would anyone take advice from people who disdain working families and their beliefs and values?
Their attitude toward working people was exemplified by that reporter who dismissed the concerns of the apartments taken over by illegal alien gangs by saying it was “only a few”; she never gave a thought to those who actually had to live there.
The same people who wailed about internment camps and Nazis were the very same people who stifled free speech, destroyed the lives of those who disagreed with them, and weaponized the Department of Justice. Do you suppose a majority of Americans believe the law student charged with the crime of “aggressively pointing” at a trans student should be expelled right before he graduates?
For 3 ½ years the Left and their media satellites lied to us about the crisis at our southern border. They refused to acknowledge there was a crisis until that, too, became impossible to deny. Americans were left beneath the flood waters as FEMA money was spent to house illegal aliens in hotels, provide them with telephones, feed them and provide them with free medical care. Were we supposed to believe the people who told us Kamala was never the Border Czar that she now wanted to secure our country’s southern border? Not hardly.
While Joe Biden was proclaimed to be a transformative president, he presided over an administration of extravagant waste; we spent billions and not a single internet connect was made and all we had to show for the money was 7 charging stations for electric vehicles. The corporate media ignored it, of course.
Yet the elites in the news media are out of touch with reality and likely don’t even know any regular people unless it’s their maid, gardener or personal assistant. Cossetted in their own cocoon of their own private worlds, they have no idea of what it takes to live. The voters ignored them all.
The Biden administration and the corporate media were complicit in yet another huge lie that the economy was booming and there was “transitory” inflation or none at all.
Americans were tired of the squalling by too many people who hate this country and insist America is a terrible place and must be torn down and rebuilt in the image of their own false gods. They touted a world where men could breastfeed and give birth, a new utopia where equity was the rule and diversity triumphed over merit while equality was smothered to death beneath a blanket of a new world order. Everything was to be determined by equity, gender and identity.
It was to be an America where free speech no longer existed and dissent must be stamped out at all costs. Only approved voices, those who chanted the mantra of the new world order could be and would be allowed to be heard.
Americans wanted change. Fully 70% of the American people said they believed the country was moving in the wrong direction. The only people who didn’t know it were the elitists and their fellow elites in the corporate media. One of the few things Kamala actually said was that she couldn’t think of a thing to change.
Yet the elites and their elitist counterparts in the corporate media were surprised they and all they stand for was rejected at the polls.
The final jury, comprised of the American people, have rendered their own verdict. They have declared the Biden – Harris administration a failure. They have also spoken as to why they hold the media in such low regard. The American people were not fooled. For those who tried to send Donald Trump to prison have instead caused him to be returned to the White House.
Welcome to the real world and God Bless America!
