I’ve been referencing DaTechGuy’s Laws of Media outrage for a while and I think it’s really past the time that I had all four of DaTechGuy’s Laws of Media Outrage in a single post for reference. With this laws you can, with virtual certainty, predict how the MSM will react to almost any story because these are the laws under which the National Mainstream media function in America.
So here are DaTechGuy’s laws of media outrage for your future reference , so that this post will not be merely a flashback I will note of how they apply to the biggest current story that they apply to, namely Tara Reade accusations against Joe Biden.
DaTechGuy’s 1st law of media outrage:
The level of Outrage or interest of the media and their allies on the left concerning any insult or prevarication concerning a person or thing will routinely be equal to the inverse of the degree of the political distance between said media / leftists and the target of said insult or prevarication at the time it is made
Tara Reade application: You saw no interest in the media on this story. You saw no outraged members of METOO no groups of angry feminists on shows and no columns denouncing Joe Biden as a misogynist because the distance between the media folks and the Joe Biden campaign is non-existent. Contrast this to the outrage over the debunked accusations vs Brett Kananaugh.
DaTechGuy’s 2nd Law of Media Outrage:
The level of acceptance of the positions and/or actions of any group or organization by the left and media is directly proportional to their current or potential value in electing liberal Democrats.
Tara Reade application: The idea that a political campaign would be able to force an edit of a story or the deletion of a tweet by “America’s paper of record” would be considered nonsense, however because such an action was consisdered necessary to help the effort to elect a Democrat, the NYT allowed the Biden campaign to surpress this story even to the point of editing a New York Times piece without complaint.
DaTechGuy’s 3rd Law of media outrage:
The MSM’s elevation and continued classification of any story as Nationally Newsworthy rather than only of local interest is in direct correlation to said story’s current ability to affirm any current Democrat/Liberal/Media meme/talking point, particularly on the subject of race or sexuality.
Tara Reade application: During the Kavanaugh hearings any wiff of a word by any woman anywhere concerning Judge Kavanaugh became national news that was to be rushed to the headlines and endlessly treated as the biggest story of the year. However because this new potential accuser is accusing Joe Biden of assault well it’s just some story on a blog. No substance, nothing to see here.
DaTechGuy’s 4th Law of Media Outrage:
The degree of media exposure of the corruption or illegality committed by any individual or organization under investigation is directly proportional to its distance from the media’s ideology.
Tara Reade Application: If the Larry King clip of Tara Reade’s mother calling in to talk about a sitting senator in 1993 and her daughter had been a 20 or 30 year old clip of Christie Blassey Ford’s mom calling into a Fox talk show about drunken parties a privates schools it would be playing on a loop on every network instead of being pulled from Googleplay to try to keep it under wraps.
Just about every day since the Coronavirus crisis began I’ve seen progressive politicians voice the disturbing notion that this is a perfect opportunity to transform the United States in some way. Always their proposals will make the United States a more progressive nation. These politicians are nothing but shameful opportunists. We should resist these calls very strenuously.
Several progressive elected officials and Hillary Clinton have proposed that enacting Medicare for all would be a perfect solution our current crisis. They are living in a fantasy world. Socialized Medicine has an abysmal track record. Check out how nations with socialized medicine have fared during this crisis. The US has preformed far better. Nothing would destroy the United Sates medical system, which is by far the best in the world, faster.
Joe Biden, and others, have, proposed enacting the Green New Deal because of Coronavus. That would destroy our energy sector, which thanks to the efforts of President Trump, made the US a net positive producer of energy.
Universal basic income has been proposed many times, including recently by Nancy Pelosi, as a temporary solution to our crisis. Once enacted that new entitlement would quickly become permanent. Nothing would trap generation after generation in poverty more securely than this.
Changes to our electoral system such as voting by mail and vote harvesting are the most dangerous changes proposed by progressives. If they were enacted progressives would win election after election because of their willingness to use fraud and to deceit to win elections.
Getting everything back to the way we were before the Coronavirus crisis as quickly as possible is the best and quickest way to restore our economy and standard of living.
I’d have called them a liar.
Who would have though he’d actually out MSM Chris Hayes?
Update: I’ll be discussing this and how DaTechGuy’s Four Laws of Media Outrage apply to the Tara Reade case tomorrow on DaTechGuy Off DaRadio DaTechGuy’s AM Court Livestram at 9:30 AM EST.
