    The Two Bents Of The Media Are An Illusion Of Choice: “All Of The Mainstream Media Is Liberal, Marxist, Biased, And Profit-driven”

    mainstream-media

    Bret Baier conducted an interview with Senator Mitch McConnell on Fox News recently.  Of itself, this is no big news.  What was noteworthy, on the other hand, were two points that are indicators of the “sea change” that has been made with the new administration under President Trump.  Firstly, McConnell was far from his usual wishy-washy, middle-of-the-road self, and secondly, Bret Baier took a stance that was so antagonistic toward the Republican Senator as to make Baier appear to be a Democrat.

    Now that Donald Trump is President, the Mainstream Media (MSM) have been pulling out all the stops, and the allegedly conservative Fox News was no different.  Baier was badgering McConnell over the President’s selection for a new Supreme Court Justice and pressured him to say whether the Republicans would push it through.  McConnell told him no less than three times [para.] “the judge will be confirmed,” and each time Baier badgered him akin to a prosecuting attorney.

    Baier asked about Obamacare, and McConnell said that it would be “repealed and replaced.”  Baier grilled him about whether the President would allow Obama’s executive orders to stand, and McConnell flatly informed him that the President would utilize executive orders of his own to remove those of Obama.  The interview was conducted Tuesday, January 31st on Fox News, and you must see it to believe it…on both sides.

    McConnell (nowhere near a true supporter of the President prior to the election) is now firmly “toeing the line” that is being set by the President.  Such matters in no way exonerate McConnell from his past behavior throughout the “Dark Ages” of Obama’s tenure: many an opportunity he had to stop Obama in his tracks over a myriad of issues and did not do so.  What this interview revealed was that if a “yes” man such as McConnell sat in front of Bret Baier and did not back down from supporting the changes that are being made by the administration, then the President has the “juice” and is going to continue to shake up the establishment and clean it out.

    To be clear: it is not out of altruism or party loyalty that McConnell took a firm stance.  McConnell is for McConnell first, but with a strong President who doesn’t waver?  He won’t have to stand firm: The President is standing firm for him.  More importantly, he’ll comply with the pace set for him.

    The disturbing part was how Baier was in the interview.  With all the other MSM stations full of liberals and Marxists (CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, etc.), you would think Fox would remain conservative.  The Megyn Kelly fiasco with her little temper tantrums and subtle support for the Democrats punctured that bubble of illusion.  One would have thought that Fox would jump “on board” the McConnell-Ryan “coracle” and at least support conservatives.  Far from it, Fox has been lambasting the conservatives in and around the administration…while merely pretending to support them.

    The two parties (Democrat and Republican) are the illusion of choice.  The difference now is that we have a President who is not instituting policy according to the Republican party: he is initiating changes according to the will and needs of the American people.  The two bents of the media (liberal and conservative) are an illusion of choice, because all of the Mainstream Media is liberal, Marxist, biased, and profit-driven.  The FCC ran roughshod and rampant across the country with “fair reporting” and “equal time” clauses and standards that (in truth) further denigrated an already non-objective news and reporting industry.  The very standard they enforced by bureaucratic fiat was an infringement on the 1st Amendment and a method to squelch conservative, objective reporting.  There was nothing fair about their “fair reporting” doctrine (or “plank” may be the better term).

    One of the reasons they agitate (as Fox did the other night) is to stir up controversy and pretend to be the “underdog” in an issue.  Well, Fox doesn’t have any “wiggle” room on this one: Conservatives have been the underdog for eight years.  Obama forced the cringing media to cower under their chairs instead of reporting the events.  Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the U.S.-orchestrated coup d’état in Ukraine…none of the media did their jobs…to provide objective, factual reporting to the American people…even though it went against the edicts of the “ruler,” Obama.

    Truth in reporting and grass-roots journalism is anathema to the MSM in the manner of sunlight to vampires.  The other night Baier may have scored big “brownie” points with Democrats, however, after eight years of faux indignation and half-hearted reporting, it’s time for those stations that call themselves conservative to follow after it.  McConnell and Baier were great “barometers” the other night: the former’s position showed the strength of the President’s stance and policies, and the latter revealed the vampire of badgering for sensational effect by a media network that is conservative in name only.

    1. Old Guy says:

      And we have a Kennedy who will be elected POTUS in 4 years and undo every positive thing Trump has done. Its Likely we haven’t did anything but postpone SHTF? No real net gain. In two years when the new governor of Ill announces his intention to run for president. President Donald Trump will be neutralized. So It might be better for SHTF to occur sometime in the next couple of years?

      • Smokey says:

        Don’t you think that’s just going to neutralize things?

        Wait until Trump and Pence are out, then let it happen on some dingbat leftist’s watch.

        • apache54 says:

          we will not have choice of when it will happen (SHTF) and you know they adjust there plans on a daily basis, so we will have to see how Trump progresses, they will fight him on ALL levels and that is what might cause a (shtf) earlier. IF they think they can win, right now the NWO see how many thousands (millions ?) they would have to deal with and they know they cannot win in a head on fight, so they are back to lies, corruption and back-door stratagies!!

          • The Deplorable Braveheart says:

            Apache54, damn right we don’t get to pick and choose when SHTF happens. The way things are going it could be as early as spring. The libturds will have Trump jumping through all kinds of hoops to achieve any part of his agenda. Once it starts warming up, the turds will become more active and there will be more riots. My next trip to the BOL is April. I’m doing my best NOT to be in a city when riots start up. If/when I’m confronted by any libturd rioter, I know I’ll have to put him/her down like a rabid dog.

      • Kevin2 says:

        “And we have a Kennedy who will be elected POTUS in 4 years and undo every positive thing Trump has done.”

        It that plays out there is one VERY important exception. The Justices President Trump gets on the US Supreme Court. Despite every effort the Founding Fathers created a system of government that puts roadblocks in place to thwart totalitarian rule; at least so far.

        • The Deplorable Braveheart says:

          Kevin2, as I mentioned in my response to Old Guy, we can rule out the Kennedys. They don’t have the kind of clout they once had. With the Clinton Foundation being on shaky financial ground, the Clintons are also losing clout. My most immediate and primary concern is the HERE AND NOW. We’re inching closer and closer to civil war 2 as early as spring or summer at the latest. My next trip to the BOL isn’t until April but that could change if necessary. If Trump can get enough Justices on SCOTUS for a majority, that would make a helluva difference for decades to come. But you still have to get to the bridge before you can cross it.

      • The Deplorable Braveheart says:

        Old Guy, a KENNEDY? Nope, I doubt that one. With Teddy dead and gone, the Kennedys don’t have that kind of clout anymore. They’re not even in the news like they used to be. Some say the hildbeast will try again in 2020. I doubt if she lives that long with her health issues. The Clintons seem to have lost some clout sicne their foundation is sinking and they don’t have any political office to sell. They don’t even have ‘contributions’ coming in anymore.

        • Old Guy says:

          John John kennedy would have been president. Except he was planning on running for the Senate seat Hellery wanted. And he died when his plane crashed. hellery is done. The Klintons are toast. They don’t have any clout. So probably they will not kill off Robert Kennedy like they did his father, Uncle and cousin? and Trump barely won. I don’t really like Trump myself. I really believe The Public and Media will swoon at the prospect of another Kennedy in the White House. Nope the powers that be will collapse everything on Trumps watch. Or go into a holding pattern for a few years. Yes lets hope Trump can put some good Justices on the Supreme Court.

          • Kevin2 says:

            JFK Jr started George Magazine. That is the springboard to both get anonymous information regarding his fathers assassination. His mother warned him to not go there and he complied while she was alive. JFK Jr was probably the last loose end to tidy up regarding the second greatest secret in US history.

    2. Smokey says:

      I worship the quicksand Senator McConnell walks upon.

      Of course it is … nothing new here – MSM reports … what they are told and nothing more. Haven’t watched any of that garbage in over 3 years.

      Though … there were times I would watch it … just for some humorous entertainment. Then it just got to a point were this kind of humor … just wasn’t funny anymore.

      Now for my humorous entertainment … I just scroll through “Before It’s News Dot Com … funny and twisted stuff over yonder. ツ

      I think Megyn Kelly is related to Lurch. They have similar jawlines.

    6. eagle1 says:

      People generated news is better. Like this very site! Been a reader since 2012 election results, somewhere in there.

      Lots of good sites from you tube blogs and websites these folks are actually doing investigative journalism etc….

      MSM is just for opposition review of narrative!

    7. eagle1 says:

      GOP conventions all over country this weekend. Lots of Trump Deplorables and Mediocre’s stepping up to the plate everywhere! I suspect we shall see deep changes.
      GOP RINO Estab. types feeling pressure and stumbling.

      No protesters anywhere in sight and saw MAGA wear! FUNNY, GOP was panicked. If pressure remains with advances (party internally split) Super chance to make lots of ground!

      RINOS have but one of two exit doors to choose from, I think tehy know it too.
      However, The most powerful seat beside POTUS is Precinct Chair. Also a great way to meet neighbor if you live out in the country!

      People are tired of liars and angry ready to through out RINO’s! MSM in denial pushing narrative. RINO’s on short leash and trying to not look panicked!

      Top Congressionman ?’s.
      REPEAL OCare, ARREST Soros, STOP Importation of Terrorist and Build the Wall, Vet Admin.is Crap Help VETS! Get your azzez in gear!
      Keep up with POTUS. RYAN not trusted look to replace as well as McConnell with Cruz! 100 days! BRUTAL!

      SW, spot on. We all need a BS filter to find out what’s REALLY happening out there.

    10. I listen to Don Black Followed by Dr. David Duke on Rense Radio. I also follow YouTube and catch some interesting info.

      I’ve listened to James Wickstrum of Arcodeaus which is very different from my background; but I learn from anyone who knows something I don’t.

      Wickstrum pointed out that the obelisk in New York was brought from the Middle East and it is one of a pair. It was built by the Pharaoh to honor the sons of Joseph, who was the son of Jacob.

      Who would have thought. I thought it was built here!

      I don’t understand why anyone who can think rationally would watch a TV or a video. How many subliminal messages do you think get flashed at you continuously while you watch the idiot box especially. Think they might load the system on the sports channels or the news channels? I hope it’s not possible to do this on the internet, but if not I bet they are working on it. If you think this is not done, just turn on the TV tonight and turn out all the lights and go into another room and watch the bright flashes to stimulate your brain and very likely send you some propaganda message like go pop some more popcorn.HA! HA! This is my comment for this year.

      • Kevin2 says:

        “I don’t understand why anyone who can think rationally would watch a TV or a video.”

        Actually its good to see what they want you to believe. One day they just might crew my strategy up and tell the truth.

    12. Kevin2 says:

      Let the US beat the war drums regardless of the “evidence” (remember WMD in Iraq) and watch CNN through MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox line up, click their heels and salute with fully supportive reporting.

      The body politic has been hoodwinked into thinking that we have a free media unlike the communists who’s people knew that PRAVDA was anything but “The Truth”. I imagine many a discussion occurred in the offices of governments overseas that basically said, “Why can’t we do that”?

      • Precisely right Kevin2 –

        Next on the war machine’s agenda – Iran

        Much like he lies and drama about Iraq … the same will be used against Iran.
        The “business cycle of War” must continue … regardless … who is right … or wrong.

        Fk’da dumb shit … end all phony wars!!!

    13. fox news starting to look like rest of idiot news. will not be long before Hannity will be moving on. can not blame him, since fox is starting to lower its standards lower then use car salesman and way below the BUMBS we have in congress!

    14. nekahnetah3 says:

      J.J. asserts: “McConnel is for McConnel first,but with a strong President who doesn’t waver? He won’t have to stand firm: the President is standing firm for him.”

      That’s all quite correct of course. What JJ fails to address though is the fact that “standing firm” as an INDIVIDUAL (POTUS Donald J. Trump) emulates all that is historically best about American history; in fact, it directly parallels the mythology of scores of John Wayne films. The absolute independence of a single man! No longer swaggering with a cowboy gun and horse; instead directly in touch with the world via ‘shots’ of twitter and conveyed by Airforce One. Sure, there are a few blems and mistakes made; the opposition almost overwhelming. In sum though, I will predict both success and a second term!

      God Bless all here;in lieu of Eppe…”thanks Mac for a great site”

      • Don’t matter none nekahnetah3 –

        Trump rallied on the phrase “America First”.

        … but the reality is … “Israel First”.

        Watch and see … Israel once again will be First for everything.
        It is how American Foreign Policy works.

        As long as there has been a President in my 46 years of living.
        It has always … always … fk’n always been about Israel First.

        Nothing is going to change that … unless … some other country(s) give that government what they rightfully deserve.

    15. Kevin2 says:

      Glenn Beck originally started out well and then I heard him say, “Bulderberg Build A Bear”, making a mockery of what we know exists. I thought, “They got him”. I haven’t listened or watched him since.

      • Glenn Beck … is no different from a Presstitute or a Whoreaspondent or the typical Politician.

        Glenn Beck is the typical back stabbing, switch’aroo kinda guy.

        Whatever the agenda may be … sure enough … Glenn Beck will show is face to the public …

        “show those fake tears Glenn … cry for us” … lol

    16. TWO DUDES AT THE BAR

      Two buddies, Joe and Bill, are getting very drunk at a bar when suddenly Joe throws up all over himself.

      “Oh, no, Jane will kill me!”, Joe says. Bill says, “Don’t worry, pal. Just tuck a twenty in your breast pocket and tell Jane that someone threw up on you and gave you twenty dollars for the dry cleaning bill.”

      So they stay for another couple hours and get even drunker. Eventually Joe rolls into home and Jane starts to give him a bad time.

      “You reek of alcohol and you puked all over yourself! My God you are disgusting!”

      Speaking very carefully so as not to slur, Joe says

      “Nowainaminit, I can e’splain everything! Itsh not what you thinks, I only had a couple drinks! But this other guy got sick on me… He’d had one too many and couldn’t hold his liquor! He said he was sorry an’ gave me twenty bucks for the cleaning bill! ”

      Jane looks in his breast pocket and says “But this is forty dollars!”

      “Oh yea…” says Joe. “I almost forgot! He shit in my pants too!”
