30 days ago the mainstream media blatantly lied to your face that Joe Biden was fit and anyone who said otherwise was a “deepfake”.
Now not only are they denying their own words about Kamala Harris:
But their actually editing their own stories to erase them from history:
The normally calm and restrained Elizabeth Scalia is beside herself
When people tell you they are not to be trusted, believe them.
Well I guess we won’t be hearing Democrats talking about the threats to Democracy and the sancity of the vote now that the only person who the left allowed Democrat voters to choose in the primary has now been forced out.
To paraphrase Archie Bunker, I’m sure that Kamala will do a hell of a job for a person no primary voter voted for.
It didn’t even take a full day for the left to start attacking Trump over his age now that Biden is gone.
Of course that likely would have been a much stronger attack if Trump hadn’t survived an assassin’s bullet in a manor that screams testosterone.
Another thing that came instantly to mind was that the steal is on.
I had argued that if Democrats were resigned to losing this election you might as well leave Biden on the ticket as you don’t want to tag an up and comer with defeat.
But on Twitter a few days ago I saw the best Democrat case for getting rid of old Joe:
I guess the steal is on, but does Kamala have the polling numbers they need for this?
At least one positive thing for Democrats, it’s being reported that now that Biden is not running donors have opened their spigots wide.
They might have one of their best fundraising days in a while and yet we still don’t know for sure if Harris is the nominee.
Hey the consultants will be happy anyways.
One thing that the GOP should do is fight fight fight.
If there are laws in various states, particularly ones that the left want to steal, that might prohibit Biden from being taken off the ballot or keeping Kamala or another Democrat from getting on the GOP should go full lawfare on all of this.
Don’t give them an inch!

I’ve written a lot about how things changed on June 27th because the media was shown to be either willingly incompetent: We didn’t know that Biden had elder issues or lying through their teeth: We knew what shape Biden was in but we weren’t about to tell you and disrupt the Democrat narrative.
This was a solid crisis for the MSM/left because the debate which apparently the Biden campaign figured Trump would duck due to the insane conditions that were set showed every single person in the media and government who INSISTED that those who said Joe Biden had elder issues. It was a real 2 Book of Samuel chapter 12 verse 12 moment when the Prophet Nathan says to David concerning his arranging the murder of Uriah the Hittite
You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'”
And thus for the last 16 days we’ve had report after report from the MSM concerning the mental health issues of Joe Biden from the same people who denied it for years.
The reaction from the MSM was panic as not only was this going on, but Donald Trump wasn’t stepping on this story media site after media site kept asking why wasn’t Trump stealing the spotlight? Even Meta & Instagram suddenly revoked the bans on Trump’s use of those accounts in the last 48 hours in the hopes that there might be a statement or image to change the story of Election 2024 from Joe Biden and return it to Donald Trump.
Before I say another word let me give a shout out to this photographer who as this video shows, ran to the point of danger to get this shot. He showed the same guts under fire that Trump did.
Almost as soon as this assassination attempt took place all over twitter leftists complaining about the assassin missing were trending.
It reached the point where leftist’s online were urging other leftists to shut the hell up.
Suddenly the media turned on a dime. The same media who has for weeks been telling everyone that if Trump is re-elected it would be the end of democracy as we know it, who said Trump must be stopped at all costs, who have compared him to Hitler and INSISTED the comparison was apt.
That same media were not only Shocked SHOCKED that this thing could happen but were doubly shocked SHOCKED that attendees were blaming them:
And of course those who had been calling literally calling him as bad as Hitler
suddenly called for calm and a return to civility.
and were very disappointed that some republicans were upset
Never mind that we had stuff like this for a long time that wasn’t called out by the MSM:
Scott Jennings on CNN who called them out after the debate AGAIN called them out on air.
And the Babylon Bee absolutely nailed it
So once again the media has to turn on a dime and go from:
Trump is the most dangerous person on the planet!
to
Can’t we all just get along?
while pretending they never suggested this was the case. As Ladd Ehlinger put it:
And by an odd coincidence Joy Reid of MSNBC has locked down her twitter account.
Make of that what you will.
I suspect Drew Holden will have a collection of the MSM’s Trump comments in a day or two but here was my question in reply to a George Conway tweet.
So let’s repeat my question and address it to the MSM:
When you kept insisting that Trump was a threat to Democracy, worse than Hitler, a person waiting to become dictator of America were you lying?
And if not then why do you:
Regret the attempted assassination and/or call for the rhetoric to be tempered?
I think we deserve an answer.

You might recall about four months ago (was it really that recent?) the absolute outcry when NBC signed former RNC chair Rona McDaniel as a commentator. McDaniel as you might remember had a success rate electing GOP candidates and promoting the conservative cause comparable with Luigi Vercotti attempts to get Ron Obvious to jump the English Channel or eat Chichester Cathedral and her popularity with the GOP base corresponded to that success making her seemingly the perfect choice as the GOP voice on NBC. But alas the NBC/MSNBC faithful were having none of it:
She’s no Douglas Murray but the slightest possibility that she might threaten the bubble of silence surrounding MSNBC viewers was simply too much for leftists to bear.
You see the MSM decided a while back that they were going to choose as their niche market the far democrat left and a problem with choosing a group of people who primary pushes are for abortion, homosexuality and transgenderism is such a group tend to shrink.
Furthermore when the loudest members of said group are the most radical you find yourself hitting demands to exclude anything that might contradict said groups thus moving farther and farther into a direction to satisfy them and becoming more and more niche till you find yourself locked in an every shrinking bubble unable to to deal with or even unable to acknowledge any reality outside of said bubble.
And when powerful people with a lot of money and influence you know the ones who decide who is welcome at the beautiful parties with the beautiful people who might give you advancement and on whose word your salary is based it becomes easy to rationalize life in the bubble let it harden around you to keep all that unwanted information out.
At least until June 27th 2024 at 9:05 PM EST when reality takes a sledgehammer to the bubble and the walls come crumbling down.
We’ve been writing about the sheer panic among those who saw, particularly among the media who have guarded the bubble diligently (Drew Holden has a detailed post showing HOW diligently) and are now trying to convince people that they were duped idiots rather than collaborators.
This has been punctuated by people suddenly coming out with a whole plethora of evidence of Joe Biden’s decline that they previous withheld.
All of this has become a problem, because now the niche is split and the media doesn’t know which way to go.
Now let me clarify one thing. The niche isn’t split about Joe Biden’s mental acuity all but the most fanatical or ignorant leftists know he is no longer fit to lead, that’s not in question but as I’ve noted that consideration which would be the primary one if they actually cared about American Democracy doesn’t matter. As Alex Berenson put it:
But that’s not the debate among the media trying desperately trying to retain credibility while serving their niche a niche which is now split between those who think the Democrat party’s chances of winning in November are better with Joe Biden on the ticket and those who think keeping him on the ticket will destroy their chances of winning.
THAT is the only thing that matters and the media is desperate to be on the “right” side of that argument, that being the side of the argument which will prevail.
This brings us to yesterday’s news conference.
What the Democrat left and the media really needed was either a commanding Biden demonstrating strength or a slobbering Biden unable to function which would give them a clear direction and reunite their niche. As Frank Fleming put it:
And that is what happened.
It was a lot like the debate, Biden started weak but got stronger and one of his answers on China and chips was actually not bad, however starting on a teleprompter didn’t help and had questioners pre-selected suggests he knew what was coming.
But there were two defining moments that everyone will remember. The first being this:
and after Trump responded online
a second moment when he actually took a shouted question as he was leaving:
Mart Margolas at PJ Media absolutely nailed it:
Make no mistake about it: this was not a great press conference, but it was better than his performance at the debate and his interview with George Stephanopoulos. And that’s a problem for the Democrats. From the perspective of Biden’s campaign, that’s good enough for him to stay in the race.
Joe Biden’s campaign is cratering, and this press conference won’t convince the naysayers that everything is fine — and it won’t convince the holdouts that Biden should go. The situation remains at a stalemate, which means the Democratic Party will continue to be divided over what to do about Joe Biden.
In short it’s the worst of all worlds for the media as every day this isn’t resolved is a day when they have to pick a side which is the worst possible situation for the democrats because as long as this election is about Joe Biden, Trump wins.
Prediction: As soon as one side or the other wins the media will pivot to that side and within a day or two of that moment and by end of whatever week it happens you will never know they thought otherwise.
