Why The Liberal Media Hate Trump
Submitted by Patrick Buchanan via Buchanan.org,
In the feudal era there were the “three estates” - the clergy, the nobility and the commons. The first and second were eradicated in Robespierre’s Revolution.
But in the 18th and 19th century, Edmund Burke and Thomas Carlyle identified what the latter called a “stupendous Fourth Estate.”
Wrote William Thackeray: “Of the Corporation of the Goosequill — of the Press … of the fourth estate. … There she is — the great engine — she never sleeps. She has her ambassadors in every quarter of the world — her courtiers upon every road. Her officers march along with armies, and her envoys walk into statesmen’s cabinets.”
The fourth estate, the press, the disciples of Voltaire, had replaced the clergy it had dethroned as the new arbiters of morality and rectitude.
Today the press decides what words are permissible and what thoughts are acceptable. The press conducts the inquisitions where heretics are blacklisted and excommunicated from the company of decent men, while others are forgiven if they recant their heresies.
With the rise of network television and its vast audience, the fourth estate reached apogee in the 1960s and 1970s, playing lead roles in elevating JFK and breaking Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.
Yet before he went down, Nixon inflicted deep and enduring wounds upon the fourth estate.
When the national press and its auxiliaries sought to break his Vietnam War policy in 1969, Nixon called on the “great silent majority” to stand by him and dispatched Vice President Spiro Agnew to launch a counter-strike on network prejudice and power.
A huge majority rallied to Nixon and Agnew, exposing how far out of touch with America our Lords Spiritual and Lords Temporal had become.
Nixon, the man most hated by the elites in the postwar era, save Joe McCarthy, who also detested and battled the press, then ran up a 49-state landslide against the candidate of the media and counter-culture, George McGovern. Media bitterness knew no bounds.
And with Watergate, the press extracted its pound of flesh. By August 1974, it had reached a new apex of national prestige.
In “The Making of the President 1972,“ Teddy White described the power the “adversary press” had acquired over America’s public life.
“The power of the press in America is a primordial one. It sets the agenda of public discussion, and this sweeping political power is unrestrained by any law. It determines what people will talk and think about — an authority that in other nations is reserved for tyrants, priests, parties and mandarins.”
Nixon and Agnew were attacked for not understanding the First Amendment freedom of the press.
But all they were doing was using their First Amendment freedom of speech to raise doubts about the objectivity, reliability and truthfulness of the adversary press.
Since those days, conservatives have attacked the mainstream media attacking them. And four decades of this endless warfare has stripped the press of its pious pretense to neutrality.
Millions now regard the media as ideologues who are masquerading as journalists and use press privileges and power to pursue agendas not dissimilar to those of the candidates and parties they oppose.
Even before Nixon and Agnew, conservatives believed this.
At the Goldwater convention at the Cow Palace in 1964 when ex-President Eisenhower mentioned “sensation-seeking columnists and commentators,” to his amazement, the hall exploded.
Enter The Donald.
His popularity is traceable to the fact that he rejects the moral authority of the media, breaks their commandments, and mocks their condemnations. His contempt for the norms of Political Correctness is daily on display.
And that large slice of America that detests a media whose public approval now rivals that of Congress, relishes this defiance. The last thing these folks want Trump to do is to apologize to the press.
And the media have played right into Trump’s hand.
They constantly denounce him as grossly insensitive for what he has said about women, Mexicans, Muslims, McCain and a reporter with a disability. Such crimes against decency, says the press, disqualify Trump as a candidate for president.
Yet, when they demand he apologize, Trump doubles down. And when they demand that Republicans repudiate him, the GOP base replies:
“Who are you to tell us whom we may nominate? You are not friends. You are not going to vote for us. And the names you call Trump - bigot, racist, xenophobe, sexist - are the names you call us, nothing but cuss words that a corrupt establishment uses on those it most detests.”
What the Trump campaign reveals is that, to populists and Republicans, the political establishment and its media arm are looked upon the way the commons and peasantry of 1789 looked upon the ancien regime and the king’s courtiers at Versailles.
Yet, now that the fourth estate is as discredited as the clergy in 1789, the larger problem is that there is no arbiter of truth, morality and decency left whom we all respect. Like 4th-century Romans, we barely agree on what those terms mean anymore.

The horror . . . the horror
Hate America?
Christ, they love bleeding dry the smoldering ruins you call America.
6 oclock news is still what people turn to for local events, weather and seasonal alerts > "burn day."
Element of surprise is essential during a Silent Coup and it's pretty fucking obvious the US govt has undergone a silent coup. The very policies designed by US govt officials elected are destroying the nation within by outsourcing manufacturing, destroying asset value, and transfer of weallth through squeeze-release bleed of gains.
THE BRITISH ARE SORE LOSERS
"Paul Revere was a man who wore many hats. He was well known throughout New England for his engravings, his silver work, his Masonic fellowship and his political activity. Plus, in 1774 and early 1775, Revere worked as an express rider for the Boston Committee of Correspondence and the Massachusetts Committee of Safety. He frequently carried letters, newspapers and other important communication between cities, including Boston, Hartford, New York and Philadelphia. Revere’s early dispatches related to some of the biggest American events of the eighteenth century, including the destruction of the tea, the Boston Port Bill and the Suffolk Resolves.
In December 1774, at the age of 39, he rode to Portsmouth to alert local Patriot leaders that the Royal Navy was on its way to seize gunpowder and arms from Fort William and Mary."

The Rhino's in the RNC can't stand Trump either; and have almost as much contempt for him as they do their base.
Maybe folks are starting to notice. These days, even so called hard liners in the RNC are soul mates with the left most wing of the DNC. Both parties push police state so fuck them both.
NWO Delende Este
So then you are well aware Trump is the only hope.
I'm gunshy of the word "hope". The last time it was used in an election context, the results weren't so good.
I recall being torched by saying McCain was a traitorous old fool. People did not want to hear a negative peep because they believed in magical thinking. As if bad word about "our guy" can shatter the illision and make him lose! If he is a fraud, an illusion, woudn't you want to know? The king has no clothes?
The rise of Trump reminds me of King Saul. People wanted a king to rule over them like other countries so they got King Saul. It did not turn out well at all. He protected and served them to death.
Trump is a reflection of the spiritual condition of our country and the world. A twisted man for a twisted nation. We will walk across the street to ignore and blaspheme God but we think a fellow fallen fool like Trump will somehow save us from ourselves.
The answer to our problems is not found in man.
And the contempt is fully reciprocated -- by Trump and by the base.
IMHO if Trump is not on the November ballot, whoever the Dems nominate is IN.
I sometimes visit "republican-oriented" sites such as National Review, and large numbers of posters say they'd vote for Hillary before they'd vote for Jeb-Rubio-et-cetera.
Of course, the Republican elite would prefer to take their turn at the presidency, but I think most ZHers would agree that the Rep elite would much prefer a President Clinton to a President Trump. FWIW I don't think much of Trump myself, but perhaps he's the best horse at the glue factory.
Do not discount these media guys, they will not go down without a fight. And like 2012 when BAM got re-elected it was because Romney would not fight back against the lies told to him in those poor districts of SE Ohio where by some estimates over 97% of the political ads were neagtive attacks on him by BAM's Pacs.
Maybe the Donald can pull it off, we can hope so. But this is a war, and winning poll numbers a year before the election is not the same as the withering attacks he will face in Ocotober, 2016. Does he have the stomach for it? Or is he just going to slink away when the gloves come off, which we can know will happen? The dirt they have and will publish on him would make anyone blush. Again, is the Donald tough enough?
sschu
The Donald. He is a bad guy.
Wow. What incisive analysis!
Trump is the solution. TY For teh Donalds.
Romney was a wimp, willing to bend his knee to the MSM. Trump is just the opposite.
Attack Trump and he hits back harder. Attack Romey and you got "I apologize, please forgive me MSM".
And the media has been fighting desperately against Trump from the outset. But like a jujitsu exponent he uses their moves against them so each attack increases his support.
Oh, Pat Buchanan, one of the few who might actually believe there's a liberal media. In case he's not paying attention, the conservative media hates Trump.
You are correct. The notion of a conservative and liberal media is a logical extension of the false choice principle.
They all work for the same masters and Trump is not one of them.
Do you think that Trump could not be one of them, indeed an important qualification, and ALSO be completely unqualified to run the US government?
Qualified seems to mean one who follows orders from the shitheads above. In that sense he is not qualified.
As a detail consumed businessman who knows how to play hardball with his adversaries, I would say Trump is very qualified compared to the entrenched morons ruining the country.
And any New Yorker will tell you that all the shithead globalists over on Park Avenue and Central Park West, absolutely despise Donald Trump.
He was never considered one of them and he constantly thumbs his nose at them.
So far, we can all thank Donald Trump for blowing apart the Jeb versus Hillary false choice.
The New York City elite has despised Trump since the 80s. Anyone old enough can remember the Spy Magazine covers mocking The Donald, gleefully characterizing him as a "short-fingered vulgarian".
When he gets to the white house I can't to hear him say "your fired" about 60 thousand times a day for his first term.
Agreed.
There is not a "liberal media"...by and large there is a nationalist socialist media and the Establishment Media (comprised of Nationalist Socialists by the way) wants Hillary!, Jeb!, Rubio or Kasich.
They would settle for a doddering old Marxist fool like Bernie but he's not their first choice.
Buchanan is a bought and paid for shill just like the rest of them. Looking back on the days when Pat Buchanan was a lightning rod on CNN cross fire, back when I thought all the shit he talked about was real. I was tricked into thinking he was throwing mud on the guys I didn't like. Now I see he was getting paid to fool me. Fuck him.
try reading Suicide of a Superpower by Buchannan. It's a pretty good read and spot on what we're seeing today.
Believe me - I read every word the guy wrote for many years. He suckered me in. Now I'm out and ring the bell so others don't get suckered too.
He is a disinfo agent. He is a traitor and an enemy of God.
Do you get paid by the word or the comment?
Either way you're incompetently overpaid.
Link and detail your assertions or live with the assessment of being a lite weight, drive-by inciter
So name calling and disagreeing with me requires no supporting link? I made a claim - refute it.
It wasn't name calling it was categorizing your behavior based on the action.
You made the initial allegation that he is a disinfo agent. Link supporting evidence to this allegation so the submission can be examined. Otherwise it is simply name-calling.
And no where in my comment did I say I disagreed with you.
That makes you 0 for 3.
Your move
Führerprinzip will see to the arbiter of truth, morality, and decency.
Kudos to the Don for not apologizing those rat bastard, two faced, scum sucking, lying whores of the media. I hope he tells them to kiss his ass at Park Avenue & 38th.
The President is just the assistant manager, it doesn't really matter who it is. If you've got a problem, you need to talk to the manager, and guess what, you can't.
I agree. As soon as they get in, there will be three armies of advisors whispering in their ears. And the problem is, that these advisors do not only influence things in the USA alone but seek to play Führer.
Did Obama campaign on TPP and TTIP, does he have a mandate for pushing this network to rob outside countries as well as the USA of their sovereignty? If there really is nothing else to vote for than the duopoly, then maybe it is good not to bother voting. Your vote will only be counted as approval.
Agree with you that is the norm. But does Trump seem like a man to be controlled by advisers?
He is used to appointing advisers and executives and firing the ones that don't work out.
Look at his campaign. He has spurned the political consultant industry and lobbyists and is thrashing all their candidates, based on him determining the play. Watch a Trump rally. There are no teleprompters with speeches written by aides. He has some notes in front of him, which he does not follow closely, instead delivering a stream of consciousness flow that excites and energizes his audience.
Mediocre men are dominated by their advisers. Great men get input from advisers but dominate what is done.
It is not in Trump's nature to play second fiddle to anyone, which is why Trump is not a possible VP candidate.
The Presidents get gleaned before the important decisions come up. It is almost as if you can read the list of Presidents who were murdered to find out who were the good ones.
it is not how the people vote, only who counts them
Trump is going to ass bang the media just like that porn star rapist that's all over the news....OH MY GAWD...He fucked me in the ass...and there was BLOOD Everywhere.....! I'm getting a visual of Megan Kelly bleeding from where ever.....Slap that ass Trump.
. . . . now that the fourth estate is as discredited as the clergy in 1789, the larger problem is that there is no arbiter of truth, morality and decency left whom we all respect.
Yeah there is . . . . the commenters on ZeroHedge ;-)
Demographics are destiny. Stopping the demographic destruction of The USA by unlimited third world invasion must be the top priority. EVERYTHING else can be remedied over time.
GOOD DESCRIPTION. DEMOGRAPHIC DESTRUCTION
Your societal planning scheme is no better than leftists'. Give it up man. Learn individualism and drop racism and nationalism.
You actually think you are going to be allowed individualism under sharia law?
So it's submit to authoritarian A because I'm afraid of authoritarian B overwhelming me? I'd rather fight for myself against all authoritarians. Thanks for the offer though.
Trump is all we got to blaze a trail. There is no one else that is not part of the status quo. Maybe we will get some Truth. At the very least he shoves the MSM rhetoric down their throat. Yes there were THOUSANDS OF MUSLIMS CELEBRATING 911.
Trump - Nugent?
No, it would have to be Donald Trump - David Duke. With Ron Paul as Sec Treasury.
Actually David Duke would be my first choice as POTUS.
Ted Nugent maybe as Sec of the Interior.
Sure, it could happen...
Without the media, there is no Donald Trump, the public figure. He knows this and so does Pat Buchanan. The rest is just a bunch of playacting, scripted very similarly to Pro Wrestling and not much more sophisticated. It doesn't have to be any more sophisticated either. American corporate media and the people who consume it don't deal well with complexity. Both Trump and Buchanan know this, too.
So Trump knows how to manipulate the media. How is that a bad thing? Good for him, and fuck them.
I don't mean to say it's a bad thing Trump can manipulate the media. I mean to contest the notion that "The Liberal Media Hate Trump." Maybe some New York beat writers hate him. The National Media love him, can't get enough of him, can't plaster him all over the airwaves enough. He is them. He's ratings gold, as they well know and would even if he didn't say so all the time. It's all very well to say "good for him, and fuck them," but it's kind of a self-contradiction.
Pat Buchanan is the media too. He's perfect to keep pushing the story that Trump, he of the numerous media enterprises, is somehow in an antagonistic relationship with the media. It's a little less silly than believing that Rowdy Roddy Piper and Hulk Hogan were actually sworn enemies for a while, but not much.
Again, I'm not objecting. I'm just saying that being hostile to the media is the perfect approach to making a big splash in the media these days, especially once you're one of the top media personalities at present.
While Donald is a windbag and a bit of a nutcase his "raw-ness" and telling stuff like it is is a breath of fresh air. The media sold out long ago and no one gives a rats ass what they have to say about anything as its all commentary to support the political and socioeconimc narrative they were hired to uphold. Why anyone would sit through any TV news outlets drivel is beyond me unless you are looking for a good laugh or doing a paper for school.
If the media really hated Trump they would just black him out like they did with Ron Paul.
Instead they're doing the exact opposite.
If the media really hated Trump they would just black him out like they did with Ron Paul.
Exactly. A toothless distraction while they shoo-in the shadow government's first choice, the puppet Clinton.
You apparently don't understand the dynamics of competition.
Trump goes on one show and their ratings boom. So all the competitors are desperate to have him to boost their ratings.
Without taking anything away from Ron Paul, who is a very decent man, the reality is he was never a ratings bonanza for any mass media so they could afford to ignore him.
Trump is also an exceptional user of social media, so the MSM know even if they try to ignore him he'll get through and when one breaks ranks (as they have) the others are forced to follow.
The MSM also cannot cut him out of the RNC debates, since he is and has long been the front runner in terms of support. And all the MSM know Trump has brought huge ratings for the RNC debates, while the Dems with Hillary has been a big snooze fest -- which might indicate something about public interest and support.
Their only option is to try to attack him which, for the reasons mentioned by Buchanan, actually reinforces his support.
Exactly. Trump turns the media against its own political commissars. The business side of the media loves him for the ratings and advertising bonanza he brings, but the commissars hate him for his politics. Consequently Trump breaks their power by turning them against each other. They don't know whether to run, shit, or go blind.
Ron Paul, on the other hand, was ignored simply because he could be. Bad for ratings, bad for politics-- so on to the next thing.
Think if Andrew Jackson was running today. Like the Donald, he'd be all over the media for ratings.
"Tell us about your duels, Mr. Jackson!"
"No, we need to talk about Mr Biddle and his Bank."
Very few found Ron Paul interesting, ergo no ratings if they talked about him. Everyone, finds Trump interesting, ergo, high ratings. That is why the different treatment, it has nothing to do with the media hating RP but liking Trump. Personally I liked Ron Paul, but a ball of fire he wasn't. You're logic is all wet.
Trumps style is to toss out something outrageous, get everyone all excited, then get the airtime to make a more rational point. He is a showman for sure, maybe he's not a loose cannon, if he gets president we will see if he is a darkhorse intelligent cannon like how Putin is.
I would take Putin if we cannot have The Donald.
Putin actually loves Russia.
Bath House hates America.
Trump loves America.
Doesn't really matter who the president is - may as well be an egomaniac loudmouth born with a silver spoon in his mouth, who is such a failure he declared bankruptcy several times.
Ok Tard, I know this is hard for you progressive communist(DEM) lemmings to compre h e n d but Donald has NEVER filed for bankruptcy.
I just thought I would enlighten you a little tonight.
Indeed. Some of his business concerns have filed for bankruptcy, but not Donald himself.
He's a smart businessman who has used the substantial body of corporate law for his own benefit.
the internet has become the arbiter of the zeitgeist morality play. social media is the transmitter. it is an open source fluid morality loosely based upon the original google theme of do no evil to a more nuanced be good, do good, think good mentality. the most insensitive social faux pas is to call someone a liar even when they lie. the media has gotten away with lies until it consolidated into one lie(with a little right/left theater for fun). the people are finally getting the courage to call bs on bs. trump has tapped unto that pented up resentment.
whatis really funny is the zionazis are shocked people don't believe their lies so they double down on their stupidity like it will be more convincing, which only pulls the curtain back more.
Cant see the Donald getting anywhere near the WH. Hes a loose cannon, almost a sideshow. If, and I do mean, if, hes not part of the tribe, he will be put down by TPTB. Some rumor about him diddling a kid or bopping a hotel maid,aka Strauss-Kahn
What you fail to understand is that Trump has been in the public eye for a very long time and the public believes they know him and that the media is not to be believed because it is out to get not just Trump but them.
And any publication that gives currency to rumors like that knows they will be very quickly asset stripped by Trump's lawyers who are on standby.
You might remember they earlier tried on a claim that Trump allegedly raped his first wife. She quickly was on the media stating "not so and he'll make a great president".
You make a good point. However, Trump loves TV, teleprompters, not so much. Not a great fit for POTUS
If we've learned anything over the last 7 years, it's that being POTUS in the 21st century means never having to say you're sorry.
No, I think Trump will do just fine as President.
The media is desperate because they are a irrelevant group - they will slowly disappear just like shopping centers. The people that care about world events/current events will get it via the net, the rest of the people do not give a shit except about bread and circus. (fast food and reality shows)
I watched some Faux News coverage of San Bernadino the other day. It reminded me why the TV has not been on in about 6 months. I think I had it on when the market went whacky a while back.
No, the Legacy Media is indeed a useless source of real information. It is a great source of .politburo propaganda.
Now, back in the day, you could not get far-away police and fire scanner xmissions. Today, with the Intertubes, you can indeed find a carrier of police/fire in most major cities. That is a great source! When I was LE, I always had a scanner covering my turf while off-duty.
The Media may hate Trump. But they love his ratings. The Media gives every Trump utterance wall to wall coverage for free.
Hah, I'd love to see me the US turned into a country with a leader like Chavez or Kirchner.
yeah right.. poor Nixon... took us off the gold standard by executive order (temporarily he said) and nothing has been particularly good since.
No - I think that the temporary income tax was the low point.
In fairness to Nixon, his predecessors had allowed the US to spend US fiat overseas which exceeded the value of US gold stocks while claiming the fiat could be redeemed for gold. When France called that bluff, Nixon was forced to cancel convertibility.
Blaming Nixon for that is like blaming those pols who at some stage are going to tell the public that SS is broke and people can't be paid what they expected, instead of blaming the pols who created and maintained the ponzi scheme.
I believe at that time the county still had sufficient resources to cover the convertibility - now we are toast. We should have bit the bullet then and learned a lesson so as not to repeat it.
Dear Vendetta:
Nixon's group also came up with the petrodollar at the same time which gave us a free living off the world's rotten back for a whole lot of years. A whole lot of dead wood in this country has him to thank. The petrodollar is about to take a major shit.
To give Nixon credit for all this is not accurate. It was Nixon's team. Nixon was insane. How nuts was he? He would take off all his clothes and run around the white house with the secret service agents chasing him. The secret service was scared he would get out into the yard and the public would see him. They (the white house staff) had a plan to (false flag) missile attack and call in the 102nd airborne to seal off the white house in order to keep the public away and thus not see a naked Nixon running around outside the white house. Tricky Dick would beat his wife's face into hamburger. The staff always managed to get her smuggled out and to a plastic surgeon for repairs. Thru all this she kept her mouth shut about it all. Bravo to her.
Source?
I knew he drank a lot.
He was also paranoid of his enemies- way paranoid.
But, he was also a creature of----- The Dulles Brothers!
I'm beginning to like this jackass. If you think about it....he makes outlandish statements then comes back and clarifies. The net result is that he gets outlandish press coverage during all of it. Brilliant, excellent and every other exemplary word you can think of. I need to ask Jack Burton what he thinks about this.
I can't wait to vote for Donald in Ohio!
Lost me at "In the Feudal Era.."
Well, we cartainly can't have a president Trump. All of his fancy shmancy negotiating and truthtelling downright terrifies yellen & co. I'm sure there are weekly meetings designed to discuss the progress of his campaign.
hmmmm Buchanon/Nixon/Trump neo-ZH'ers or Hildebeast...hmmm
nahh. neither. I'll take the paleoZh'ers
The biased pro-socialism pro-coercive collectivism MSM need to be the first ones under the guillotines because the politicians could not have been so successful in subverting the US government without the active support of the MSM.
> "His popularity is traceable to the fact that he rejects the moral authority of the media, breaks their commandments, and mocks their condemnations. His contempt for the norms of Political Correctness is daily on display."
Bullshit. Let's see Trump break the Two Great PC Commandments: 9/11 and the "Holocaust".
Trump won't do it. The true power of the media and the government rests on maintaining those two lies. Trump is as much a swallower and follower as Obummer and Bush.
Excellent article. Thanks!
Yeah, Trump is successful precisely because he thumbs his nose at a legacy mainstream media who have destroyed their own legitimacy.
I think a greater part of his success is due to his adoption of the talking points coming from the alternative media like ZeroHedge, Matt Drudge and Alex Jones. For better or worse, they are the new arbiters of truth and morality. They remind us of what we can be, what we used to be and what we ought to be.
One upside of a Trump run is that more people are being exposed to the bullshit and corruption. He's calling out the Red Douchebags so I wonder what he'll have to say about Hillary and the Blue Criminals given the opportunity. Could be epic TV.
If that's the only result then it may be a step in the right direction.
FWIW, I don't think Trump is a good guy. He's made some truly chilling statements, evidencing a frightening authoritarian streak. For instance, his statement that it's good to torture Muslims, even if it's not effective, because of "what they've done to us." I have every confidence that he will turn into a strongman who dispenses with the vestigial organs of democracy (like Congress) and consolidates his hold on power for the next dictatorial strongman to lead us deeper into tyranny.
Trump is the Netanyau of American politics. He even does campaign stumping for Bibi:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm5Je73bYOY
Trump is an oligarch. He's a good student to what Bibi is teaching.
All media is Jew media.
Clearly ZH is not.
Conservative-in-name-only Ross Douthat is reduced to calling Trump a fascist, which, of course, merely means someone who refuses to jump when Wall Street and Riyadh say hop.
Were he an actual fascist openly calling for the destruction of the Jewish nation, the Christian faith and the capitalist system, Wall Street and the MSM would be applauding his every word.
Fascist? Trump's a plutocrat and an oligarch.
Thats giving way too much credit to an insecure, narcissistic bully-ionaire demagogue with a hunger to be adored.
"Yet, now that the fourth estate is as discredited as the clergy in 1789, the larger problem is that there is no arbiter of truth, morality and decency left whom we all respect. Like 4th-century Romans, we barely agree on what those terms mean anymore."
How very true. THIS is the mark of a society in crisis -- a society which cannot agree on the most fundamental principles of right and wrong, acceptable and unacceptable. There is that which is preached by an increasingly disconnected Ivory Tower, but that has little relevance to the real world in which anyone lives. And the press quite obviously lost its independence long ago.
Still, I doubt that The Donald is going to provide us with a unified figure of moral authority. What he COULD do, is show how a leader can govern this country from a purely pragmatic approach of negotiation once certain absolutes of the political sphere -- such as the unquestionability of Israel and wealthy Jewish Donors -- are negated. I think Trump is a more skillful politician than the pundits give him credit for.
After Bill Clinton's tellecommunication act of 96, the mass media became consolidated into about 6 megacorporations.
Here is Bill Clinton signing the act:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1EfL8xQ5Ok
Jews who own the media:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O3eaXCxRUM
Sorry about having to point out the Jewish connection, but for those of you who refuse to admit this - you are whistling past the graveyard. You are doing yourself a disservice when you lie to yourself.
How do they own the media? In evolutionary terms, owning money power and the "power of propaganda" is an in-group strategy. Unfortunately this in-group strategy is not mutually beneficial to host societies.
Bill Clinton was a CFR agent corrupted early in his career (remember MENA?) Being a Cecil Rhodes scholar means he was selected early, and then promoted as a shabbos goy.
The megacorporations have two masters: Their license to broadcast and the income derived from advertisers. In other words, they are prostitutes because they are not independent.
Government, now enslaved to private money power, can pull broadcast license at any time. So, big media, big business, and government act on each other, to serve a false narrative to the sheeple.
+1,000 MEOFBILLS.....GREAT POST AND LINKS
Nothing more dangerous than a Jew who converts to Christ. I think Bro. Nathaniel is Orthodox Greek.
rejects the moral authority of the media, breaks their commandments, and mocks their condemnations.
Exactly...Fuck the lying BS media!
I wish Trump would still use this kind'a language to make a point...jump to the 8 minute mark. (This speech was back in '11)
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8rD1Je5uRo>
The fourth estate is now the blogs,the MSM has become the fifth estate, that grand whorehouse where liars and lies congregate to fornicate and provide sheeple pornography.
The guy is a fucking tool for the simple fact that his platform hinges on kow towing to the dumbest of dumb most easily manipulated within the US.
He just made a statement today saying he would "Take out the families of terrorists"...!
This whole SB thing smells like fermented horseshit, and he's appealing to every fucking cleatus who can't see through the lies.
Either it's an overblown marketing scheme (I wouldn't put it past him), or he really is hoping a silent majority of fearful cretins vote him in. Either way, he's a joke. Hillary will be your next Teleprompter-In-Chief. Book it.
Pretty much. Trump would win the white male vote by a decent margin but he would lose almost every other single demographic including white women. Romney crushed Obama (62-38) among white males and won the white female vote by a decent margin and still lost.
My favroite fact is that Trump during the debates so far speaks at a 3rd grade level (in terms of vocabulary) in his comments vs other candidates who speak at a 6th grade level. Really is pandering to the least common denominator who are watching the debates.
I am a white woman. I would vote for Trump.
As opposed to obama kow towing to the smartest of the smart? Just because you dont like the donald does not make those who do stupid idiots. The reality is, just as the article mentions, we hate the media and he outs it to them. We do not care what he has to say as long as he puts a big ol spotlight on the lying media. The damage he is doing to them is immeasurable and a joy to watch. Besides, anyone with an iq os 12 is better than any establishment crook lying and plundering what we have left. So, stop whining momma.
Yo Tyler,
Nice stab at re-posting a stunningly flawed theory that attempts to rewrite an historical narrative but you failed to mention:
1) Richard Nixon was charged with three articles of impeachment and resigned in disgrace. His crimes were revealed by OMG, the relentless efforts of your aforementioned wretched media;
2) Spiro Agnew, his shitheel veep was convicted of bribery and also resigned in disgrace;
3) This site is OWNED BY ABC MEDIA.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Stick with finance, dumbfucks.
Whether you love or hate the Tylers, the simply re-posted something from Buchanen.org. And whether you love or hate Nixon and Spiro, it doesn't matter. THey spoke some words of lies, and some words of truth. I don't think the words about the MSM were far off from reality. This has been going on for a long time. People knew it well back in the days, I think it was 1971, if not then it was close to that year:
The lunatic is on the grass.
The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.
The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!"
by the time of DSOTM, Pink Floyd had sold its soul to commercial AM radio friendly pop muzak-we hear it on the elevators, you dont hear PIPER/SAUCERFUL/ ATOM HEART or MEDDLE in your local SAFEWAY
Just give it another 10 to 15 years.
YO...Rook...depunker
ABC MEDIA is NOT the "abc" that you are thinking of. A COMPLETE SEPARATE ENTITY....check the "LTD" at the end...DUMB FUCK
NOW BACK TO BED....
Hey Jamjim-- BFD, re-owners. Untwist your panties, read the article and then try to digest what I said about it.
so what are the details about ABC Media=part of the Military Industrial Complex? Zero Hedge? really?
Who owns the shares? Good luck finding out. Who owns the shares of the private corporations like RNC, DNC, IRS, Washington DC etc?
The media being "liberal" is a tooth fairy myth=all media is owned by 6 companies in the MIC=Military Industrial Complex-and they are Republican/Jewish-they have their agendas and all the fools ready to play the game, be it Hillary or Trump-and all in between
Patrician Pat is lately come to the study of History.
But I fear his conflation of the Roman Empire and the French ancien regime with the today's polyglot Empire of the Asinine takes no account of exceptionalism and indispensability, and is an Empire too far.
William F Buckley was a supporter of the NWO also.
When Obama was on the Jay Leno Tonight Show .... he sat plumped up on his cushion .... his back erect .... and his legs crossed .... looking at Leno .... and leading with his breasts .... what a lady ?
ZERO HEDGE, CAN YOU PLEASE STICK SOME MORE FUCKING ADVERTISEMENTS IN i CAN STILL SEE THE ARTICLE.
ABP
We all know what happened to the elites of the Ancien Regime.
Now we have the fifth estate; altermedia and whistle blowers to represent the interests of the Commons.
As the fourth MSM is OWNED by the Oligarchs in Inverted Totalitariansim.
And do you know WHY the Liberal Media hate Trump?
'Cos Both the liberal media and Trump's sponsors (like tricky Dicky before him working for the MIC, and good ole Ronnie for the WS supply sider plutocrats) are just the FRONT men for the Oligarchy; now divided into two clans : the Private sector Oligarchs of OIL/MIC/Banksta cabal and the Statist cabal who also have their banksta Squid and Hi-tech Oligarchical lobbies.
Bottom line : the Oligarchs, like in the old days (Sparta/Athens or Optimates/Populares in Roman Republic's civil war battle after Rome killed off Carthage and became top dog), fight for the remains of the day and use the Commons as cannon fodder in their battles.
Our neo-feudal society has put the world controlled by Pax Amercana's Oligarchs right there, in perpetual war scenario.
Donald is just the false nosed populist of ONE Oligarchy group against another.
Both groups are now in a race to debase the foundations of their Republic : via its money line all torn to shreds. WHen the Greenback God falls so falls Pax Americana and its colossus of Rhodes (its Oligarchy clans with clay feet).
History rhymes and sends its daughter Nemesis to kill off those who open Pandora's box in name of : we are making you an offer you can't refuse as our way of life is NON NEGOTIABLE.
Amen...
Well. Ok then. Alrighty. Please step away from the bong slowly.

You are an accomplished thinker Falak!
I believe Trump's popularity stems from all those that hate him . . the left, the establishment far right, Bush, Clinton and all career politicians, Fox, CNN . . . my liberal mother -in-law . . . . I love the guy for the fact that he pisses off everyone that I despise . . . with the exception of my mother-in-law, she's really a sweet lady.
The truth is, the old media is dying and they know it. Their revenue sources are dyring up. Their viewership has plummetted along with their ad revenue, the internet has destroyed their monopoly cable subscriptions are melting away, people are sick of hollywood and have stopped going to their movies, the new media is dragging them kicking and screaming into irrellevancy. The last thing the have to ensure their coffers are full every two years os the political machine and now Trump and Cruz have shown that they are not needed. The old media stands before us all bare naked with nothing left but stupid shit like dancing with the stars and....the voice or some other singing competition. They are done for. Their credibility is shot. Kaput. Sure, they can still make a little noise, but nobody listens or cares. They are proven liars in support of their own cause. Truth is everywhere. We just have do decide which truth is the truth. Which, is prettty easy to do. If it comes from anything related to the political establishment or media, it is a lie. Awesome and wonderful times. The party is over for them. We just have to figure out how to salvage the train wreckage.
Bravo! Damned straight.
The liberal media hate everything, including themselves, prefering only the most short term hedonistic pleasures to salve their self induced misery.
That's the unvarnished truth.
In that light their hatred of Trump is nothing special, meaning only that he suggested hedonism and hatred don't make greatness.
Whether Trump is sincere or consistent is an entirely different question.
LIBERAL media??? Give me a break! Anyone calling this media "liberal" is nothing more than a status quo "divide and conquer" propagandist
Where do you find this so called "liberal press"? The media are all card carrying members of the CCCP and I don't mean the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics but the Corporate Controlled Conservative Press!
So absent the Press Morality Police we now have no "arbiter of truth, morality and decency". Give me a break.
The promotion of diversity balkanizes, divides and weakens any single unified ethnic and soverein opposition to the globalist World Takeover Agenda.
This shaming campaign has nothing to do with supporting minorities and everything to do with eliminating unified opposition, dividing and conquering and controlling the world.
"Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters"

For the last 40 years of my adult life, I have read, watched and listened with bewilderment at “news” the MSM deems worthy for us masses to consume. These so called “reporters” are liberal products of liberal journalism schools. Set loose on the world to enlighten us about the superior qualities of Fascism and I do not use that term lightly.
Again I seem to be caught in the middle as a hard working independent.
My neighbors, those both above and below my station in life, seem to have swallowed the “Obama/Hillary/ free shizzle/watch your words/open boarders/tax out the butt” American society.
But there is a growing number of us who have been, mostly quietly, preparing ourselves and our families. Not to offensively fight the shizzle storm forming in society, but to get out of Dodge and let the Fascist feed on each other.
The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.
I have not picked up and read a paper in more years than I can count. The network TV news ended for me after Walter Cronkite. The internet has all my news sources – including foreign news. I temper these sources with word-of-mouth comments from the blogs. I suspect a multitude of others have done this also. This ground swell is the driving force changing the political landscape…
I know why lib media types hate Trump. Libs, who comprise 90+% of media payroll, gravitate to media in an effort to feed their overwhelming need to control, thinking that if they can control the message (propagandize) through their 'work', they can help effect the change they seek, thereby temporarily satisfying their control needs. Now, leftist pols are more than happy to accept this assistance from lib media, and in fact unofficially effectively make lib media a part of their cabinet, an organ of the state. Effectively tacitly joining the administration of leftist POTUS in this manner is of course a wet dream for lib media control freaks. It goes without saying that they find coordinating with adminstration officials and staff in the production of the 'news' highly titillating and sating. Naturally, Trump as POTUS is a deeply disturbing prospect for lib media types, as Trump will of course not utilize their services as propagandists. He would tell them all to fuck off. Trump as POTUS? - then its back to simply writing hit pieces and climate change misinformation pieces, and no more daily propaganda coordination with White House staff = BORING....
This "right/left" thing has lost all meaning. Both left and right (as defined how?) seek control. The left (as defined how?) are now in control. In the 50's the right (as defined how?) was in control. That's when we got the god stuff splattered all over our money, pledge to flag, etc.
If you go back to the turn of the 19th/20th century, the media was divided into two (or sometimes three camps). Each town had two papers ... and their editorials argued against each other. In time, the papers couldn't survive economically, and one took over the other. Then they couldn't survive without syndication, and syndicates engaged in taking over each other. In the end only one philosophy remains.
But we know collapse soon follows. We've seen it in every industry ... and the propaganda industry will be no different. The real problem is that this happens so slowly. If you're born into the wrong window your chance of an enjoyable life can be greatly diminished. And then you die.
If we ever want to relieve ourselves of this, we must break up into ever smaller and smaller groups (rather than consolidate into larger and larger groups). That gives each of us a chance to find a flock that suits our feathers.
Liberals... you can't live with them, and until the laws change, you can't guillotine them...

Donald Trump Tells Pro-Israel Crowd He Can’t Be Bought, Gets Booed
What a load of SHIT, pure, unadulterated, stinky shit. There is no such thing as mainstream "liberal" media. ALL of the mainstream media is owned by massive companies, and all are in bed with the Right Wing/Republican Party. The sad thing is that all of the MSM (except Fox) will occasionally pretend to be fair, honest and independent, which immediately results in wailing and gnashing of teeth from the RightWingNuts. In other words, unless every news report toes the conservative line, the source is branded as liberal.
What a fucking joke. What a colossal fucking joke.

Re: "Political Correctness": GROW THE FUCK UP. The RightWingNuts require the same "political correctness" as they whine about from the WeakAssLeft. Try saying "Happy Holidays" and watch the Right Wing Crazies come out of every crack in the wall decrying a War on Christmas. What a total load of shit. First of all, "Happy Holidays" refers to that season of holidays between and including Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, and 'Little Christmas' (look it up, idiots). It is a term that goes back decades, witness for example, the 1960s Christmas standard by Andy Willams entitled "Happy Holidays."
War on Christmas...pfffttt. The same people who whine about that fake ass issue have no problem with Santa Claus, flying reindeer, and talking snowmen. Hey, guess what...Christmas trees were considered heretical by most of the pilgrims who settled these silly United States.
Political correctness? There is no law that says you have to stand for the national anthem, or when a flag passes in a parade...but watch the RightWingNuts erupt if you don't do so! Why, the horror!!! STAND UP! TAKE YOUR HAT OFF! Men died to give you the right to sit there with your hat on, so stand up and take your hat off!!! Did you catch the absurdity of that right wing offering? If they died to give me the right to sit on my ass when a flag goes by, the by golly, I'm gonna honor their sacrifice and sit on my lazy fucking liberal make-war-on-Xmas ass.
If this pisses you off...good. I can always tell which rabid dog I hit when I throw a rock...he yelps and whines and cries.
