The fakeness of the fake news fakery story.
Apparently the new face of legitimate news in the hammering
of “fake news” is none other than Lord Fakenroy himself; Brian Williams. You remember him……he of the RPG attack on the
helicopter he was in (we think he was in a helicopter but like the sniper fire
on Hillary that wasn’t, we KNOW that Williams was not attacked in a
helicopter). After what NBC considered
an acceptable banishment from his role as head of the nightly news, less than
most in-patient rehab treatment programs, Williams was relegated to the
hinterlands of MSNBC…..the premier cellar dweller of leftist propaganda, where
open lying and hyperbole is the order of the day.
Now, this whole fake news movement is astonishing. It is mostly disturbing in that the media,
the founders and developers of fake news are keeping this alive as a reason for
the left losing the election. Now think
about this….the media, and the democrats think that FAKE NEWS caused an
electoral college landslide, caused record numbers of states to turn red in
their state legislatures and governorships.
The media and the democrats (and I do NOT know why I make the
distinction) think that YOU the voter are so intellectually stunted that “fake
news” fooled you. You didn’t make your
decision based on realities, but on “fake news”.
There are a few remarkable things involved here, and we
will continue to use Brian Williams as an example. One is that the media is SO shameless that
they not only tolerate a proven liar, but give him a second chance (albeit a
step further down the lying food chain at MSNBC) and FULLY expect the viewer to
just believe the shit that he spews. I
can barely get my head around the acorn that the media thinks so little of the
consumer that they would continue to give Williams, and people like him, a
venue. Face it, as a former Army aviator
and a combat veteran I can assure you that a near miss in flight from and RPG
is NOT something on which you “misspeak”.
In the real world, in real news, he would be selling pencils on the
street corner. And nobody comments on
this incredible hypocrisy.
But even more amazing is the fact that Williams would be
given the platform to decry fake news.
Wouldn’t this be a little like Himmler decrying the death camps? Allah decrying beheadings? Jill Stein decrying math? Face it, real news, where a medium presents
the facts and the consumer forms an opinion is as dead as a democrat voter in
Chicago, or support for the police by NYC Mayor Deblasio. “Fake News”, as Harry Reid has said (and it
may likely be the only honest thing Reid has said in the past four years) is
owned by the democrats. Social media has
made it easy for almost anybody with a computer and smart phone to make up some
crazy shit, post it on FB and Youtube, send it viral and it is every bit as
believable as something REAL that actually happened. Use for example the notion that the Russians
hacked the US election and are responsible for putting Trump in the oval
office. Sounds crazy right, and there is
no evidence that Russians hacked the non-networked voting machines in
question. What IS a fact is that voter
fraud is part and parcel of the modern democrat party, and BECAUSE of that (and
maybe a host of questionable dealings between the Clintons and the Russians),
the consumer has to spend time parsing through what they saw on Youtube, or
read on FB, and compare it with what they see in the NYT and Time and the
Chicago Trib and Huffpo and a host of other sources. The legacy media is no longer THE source for
news but for many it is merely A source, a source that is no more sound than
some craziness on the internet. And Reid
is right; the democrats, and their propaganda arm the main stream media, own
that….because their stories and their reportage is often no better than
occupydemocrat.com. Nobody can tell what
is or is not “fake news”.
Though, if you have Brian Williams reporting it, chances
are it is NOT real news.
Brian Williams, fake newsman, purveyor of fake news about
fake news stories.
Is this a great nation or WHAT?
IT IS a great nation, in spite of the left.
ReplyDeleteI find it hilarious that so many idiots in Congress want to get rid of fake news.... the only way to do that is to shut down all SOCIAL media - right after they outlaw the joke that the mainstream media has become. I know that would certainly help my blood pressure!
I thought your line was going to be to shut down ALL traditional media......but you saved yourself. I like it.
