If you look anywhere in the media you repeatedly see the MSM selling the idea that Trump’s first 100 days were a failure, that Pete Hegseth is getting ready to resign, that the trade deals are all failing and that Trump voters are deserting him in droves.
Alas none of this is true and more importantly Trump voters who can be confirmed as Trump voters and not as nameless trolls on twitter are all in:
Luntz focus group of Trump voters to a man were still with him and Luntz couldn’t believe it.
The media narrative has long since reached its sell by date to conservatives and are instead trying to convince voters of the left that the Trump administration is about to fall and to convince themselves that they are on the winning path.
They should instead take this advice from Robert Stacy McCain on covering stories:
To be truly objective, you have to be able to get enough distance from your personal feelings in order to concentrate on the Three Rules of Journalism: Accuracy, accuracy and accuracy.
In recent months, we’ve witnessed a parade of big-time journalists trying to explain how they somehow overlooked a rather important fact, namely that Joe Biden was far gone in a state of senile dementia. Oh, these journalists tell us now, they were deceived — victims of a conspiratorial cover-up in the White House — even while many millions of ordinary Americans were pointing to the obvious evidence of Biden’s senility and shouting the truth on Twitter, Facebook, etc. These same big-time journalists who, since the election, have freely admitted the truth about Biden’s decayed mental condition, had previously denounced the truth-tellers as agents of a Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy. We were told that videos of Biden’s bumbling and stumbling were “cheap fakes,” and yet now — when the election is over, and there is no longer any advantage to the Democratic Party lost by admitting that Biden’s was unfit to serve as president — these journalists expect us to take them seriously when they claim they had no idea about it, back when the truth mattered most.
They have sold their souls to the Democratic Party, and whatever the Devil paid them, it was more than their filthy souls were worth.
Have I digressed into another pointless tangent? Perhaps so, but my point is that too many journalists got into this business for the wrong reason. They think of themselves as secular missionaries with a pious duty to “make a difference.” Well, hey, sweetheart, how about you just try to get the facts right, collect your paycheck and go have a beer?
If you’re not out to report the facts, you’re not reporting you’re selling something and that why Scott Jennings can beat a room full of CNN psychopaths’ every time, because he doesn’t have to sell anything, all he needs to do is tell the truth.
