Do you ever wonder if the mainstream media is actively rooting for the Democrats? Did you think that was an exaggeration? Well, think again! Let me break down why your suspicion might be dead on.
First off, let’s face it, the national media hires people who fit their mold. Recruits generally come from liberal journalism schools where conservative values are as welcome as a fly at a picnic. They don’t just dodge conservatives; they explicitly say these views are “detrimental to our newsroom.” And that’s not fiction – it’s a verified quote from a newspaper editor.
Next, the lily-white backgrounds of many media professionals. It’s almost like a country club out there! Many of them grow up in privileged bubbles where conservatism is scoffed at over brunch. Journalism, after all, isn’t known for its hefty starting salaries. Internships are unpaid, creating a barrier for anyone who can’t rely on Daddy’s wallet to get by. With wealthier folks dominating the scene, they naturally drift to the left, giving Democrats the benefit of every doubt and labeling Republicans the bogeymen at every chance.
Living in Echo Chambers
Media types rarely engage with real Americans. They’ve admitted, “We don’t know any real Americans,” but they can’t see how this skews their reporting. This is why the 2016 Trump victory hit them like a meteor – they couldn’t fathom it. So they spun tales of Russian boogeymen instead of considering any legitimate reasons for the win.
The Media’s Blind Spots
- ✅ Conservative values
- ✅ Middle America concerns
- ✅ Economic realities for average Americans
- ✅ Traditional family values
- ✅ Second Amendment rights
At journalism gatherings, the anti-Trump sentiments would make your head spin. They “hate” Trump (their words, not mine), vilify Fox News, and would do anything to de-platform anyone even moderately conservative. And believe me, this isn’t speculation; they’ve brazenly announced it at their pompous events. It’s like a twisted episode of “The Twilight Zone.” One year, they griped about Trump before an audience and anticipated that “99 percent of those in this room are supportive of the other candidate.” They might as well have taken a poll then and there.
The Day After: A Media Meltdown
The day after Trump’s election win, every article in every media magazine was a hit piece. Every. Single. One. It’s like they were all written by campaign staffers for the DNC. Their shock and resentment echoed across the faceless, monolithic institutions of the mainstream press.
Remember how they acted when Hillary Clinton lost? It was like watching a toddler’s temper tantrum in slow motion. They went through the five stages of grief faster than you can say “fake news.” First, there was denial: “This can’t be happening!” Then anger: “It’s all Russia’s fault!” Bargaining came next: “Maybe the Electoral College will save us?” Depression hit hard: “Democracy is dead!” And finally, acceptance… Oh wait, they never quite got to that part, did they?
Local vs. National: A Tale of Two Journalisms
By contrast, local journalists often exhibit a hint of common sense, understanding their audiences – predominantly conservative, blue-collar folks. Why? Because their readers can hold them accountable. Readers in smaller, more conservative towns don’t hesitate to pick up the phone or write a pointed letter to the editor if they detect any bias. Local journalists know they need to play it straight or hear it from their community.
National newsrooms, cushioned by impersonal areas and liberal strongholds, avoid the direct backlash from the populace. They live in a world apart, a bubble. Their sheltered lives, financed by hefty backing, let them bash Republicans with impunity while they praise Democrats to the high heavens.
Biden-Harris Fumbles: A Comedy of Errors
So, it comes as no surprise when the mainstream media sheds tears for every Biden-Harris Administration fumble and hypes every so-called “accomplishment”. Don’t forget, these are the same folks who cheered on Biden’s mishandling of the Keystone Pipeline, which left Americans high and dry while handing out pink slips like candy. They clapped as Biden reinstated funding to the WHO without demanding reforms – yes, the same WHO that botched the COVID debacle (twice!). It’s almost as if they are reading a script.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the Biden-Harris administration’s greatest hits, shall we? There’s the border crisis they created and then pretended didn’t exist. It’s like they’re playing a game of “Hide and Seek” with illegal immigrants, except they’re really bad at the “seek” part. Then there’s inflation – they’ve managed to make the dollar about as valuable as Monopoly money. And who can forget the Afghanistan withdrawal? It was so smooth, it made a car crash look like a ballet.
Biden-Harris Greatest Misses
- Border crisis denial
- Inflation explosion
- Afghanistan withdrawal disaster
- Energy independence reversal
- Critical Race Theory promotion
Trump’s Triumphs: The Untold Story
Meanwhile, let’s not forget what the Trump administration managed to achieve amidst the chaos. Jobs for all backgrounds skyrocketed, unemployment reached historic lows, and regulations that suffocated small businesses were axed. The national media buried these stories, favoring endless gossip on lesser matters instead. One might say they had a blueprint – all criticism of Trump’s actual policy successes got shuffled to the back pages, if mentioned at all.
Remember the time Trump brokered peace deals in the Middle East? The media treated it like it was less important than what flavor ice cream he preferred. Or how about the COVID vaccine development? Operation Warp Speed lived up to its name, but you’d think it was a slow crawl listening to the mainstream media. And let’s not forget the booming pre-pandemic economy – it was so good, even Democrats were quietly enjoying it while publicly complaining about it.
The Unvarnished Truth
In the end, it’s clear that the media operates within a snug ideological bubble. They are glaringly out of touch with the average American and more attuned to the sensibilities of their elite coffeehouses and exclusive cocktail parties. The plain truth is, unless you venture into alternate viewpoints like conservative talk radio, certain independent online platforms, or even just speaking with your fellow neighbor, you’ll mostly encounter news filtered through liberal spectacles. It’s a sad state of affairs, and all the more reason for an informed public to look beyond the headlines.
So next time you’re watching the news, remember: you’re not just getting information, you’re getting a worldview. And that worldview comes with more spin than a washing machine on the heavy cycle. It’s up to us, the discerning viewers and readers, to separate the wheat from the chaff, the facts from the fiction, and the news from the narrative. Because in this media landscape, finding the truth is like trying to find a conservative at a Hollywood awards show – it’s there, but you’ll have to look really, really hard.
