I believe in the First Amendment. Overwhelmingly Americans believe in the right to and the necessity of a free press.
But implied in that is that the press are objective or impartial tellers of truth.
A free press is vital to a free society and the press should serve as a bulwark against tyranny by holding the powerful to account and shining the light of transparency on the government.
We have known for a while that the press had a bias, but what has happened in the last year or so is so extreme it’s hard to fathom.
We found out that NBC torpedoed a Pulitzer Prize winning story about the sexual misconduct of Hollywood producer and Democrat kingmaker Harvey Weinstein.
NBC is also the broadcaster that covered up the acts of its own in-house sexual predator, Matt Lauer.
We just found out that ABC shelved a similar story about Democrat donor, political powerbroker, sex trafficker, and pervasive pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.
Then CBS and ABC worked together to identify and punish the employee that leaked the story of the report cover up.
CNN has refused to even acknowledge the ABC Epstein story.
These are all the same media organizations that breathlessly covered every last unfounded accusation against Brett Kavanaugh, no matter how far fetched and ridiculous.
CNN has Kavanaugh proxy-accuser and scumbag, Michael Avenatti on daily and even endorsed his premature presidential ambitions.
These are the same media organizations that pushed a provably false lie against some students from a Catholic School for wearing MAGA hats.
CNN threatened to doxx a rando on Twitter for making a meme that made fun of them and accosted a retired woman for posting about Trump on Facebook with the accusation that she was a Russian agent.
The latest was a despicable smear job on a Mormon community that endured the murder of nine people, six if them children, at the hands of a Mexican cartel, because they were Mormons.
One would think that in traditional capitalism, as these news organizations lost money and viewership, they’d figure out that this hyper partisan mendacity was not a good business model and change.
This is malevolence.
But like every anti war movie that spit on the US military made during the GW Bush administration, the purpose was not to make money but to prosthelytize Lefist values.
There are always interns that can work for free. Jeff Bezos can find the Washington Post out of his own pocket. They will push this regardless of how much money they lose because this is ideological zealotry for them.
This tactic of destroying nobodies with the weight of multi billion dollar media empires is untenable.
Our Founding Fathers were worried that the press would be forced by government to toe the party line.
I don’t think they expected that the press would toe the line out of ideological conformity.
What happens when CNN and NBC become Pravda and Izvestia because they wanted to?
This situation cannot go on forever.
