No news is......no news......


No news is no news.

Do you have any idea what is going on in our nation today?  Can you speak intelligently on BREXIT?  How about the UN or NATO?  What is happening in Iran, or Afghanistan which continues to be a centuries old, non-useful, pain in the ass muslim shithole?  When did you last read about the Hawaiian volcano?  Global climate change?  Any idea on what is happening with the southern border?

Probably not, and there are two main reasons for that.  One is first and foremost this; we are a country full of un-learned jackasses.  And the left and the schools and the media know that….and play on that.  How many dollars must we poor down our “education system” drain in the effort to graduate a student after the 12th year that can read at greater than a 3rd grade level.  Chicago, Detroit, LA, Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, NYC…..Saint Louis……..how many stories of the “inner core” graduates not being able to function in the world must we read before we realize that we just aren’t firing intelligently.  In plain language….we ain’t doing something right.

The other is that, about three years ago, the raison d etre for the media became discrediting Trump, propping up the left, and nothing else.  It seems as if a big meeting was held by the heads of MSNBC, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, the NYT, Chicago Sun-Times, LA Times, WAPO, Vox.com, HUFFPO, Slate……blah, blah, blah………blah, and they all agreed that NEWS was something that they could get around too IF they were able to dispatch Trump, the Constitution and about 51% of the voting public.

You have, I have, we have, been done no service by our mainstream media for three years.  No news story…..scratch that….no story that is not negative about President Trump, lasts more than a few days.  The soccer team in Thailand….the last kid out was still wet before the media was back at bashing Trump.  I am just ASSUMING that Hawaii is still intact….actually some co-workers just got back from there, so it is….but you wouldn’t find that in the news.  President Trump goes to the UK and you get a story on a Trump blimp.  He indicts NATO and the media attacks him for pointing out that the NATO nations are not living up to obligations that they made, ignoring the story that NATO countries themselves have hollowed out the alliance. 

If it doesn’t cast a negative light on Trump, and promote the leftist agenda, the media simply ignores it.  It has gotten so bad that the media promotes stories, without a shred of hypocrisy, that cast the left in a horrible light, then high five one another when the story takes wings without criticism.  The New York attorney general is suing the Trump administration for changing the law across the board, allowing only $10K in state taxes to be exempted from federal taxes.  And this story got traction even though it exposes New York for the robber baron it is; nobody sees anything wrong with it.  Following the Finland summit, word leaked out that Putin informed President Trump that Hillary had benefitted from hundreds of millions of dollars, donated by an international crook who made the money in Russia without paying taxes, and who was assisted in funneling the money to Hillary by US intelligence operatives.   And you are not hearing shit about this in the news.

If you listened to the sources I listed above, you would think that Trump is at the center of the known universe…..that there is nothing else out there.  Think about that for a minute….our free and open press, which is plenty free but increasingly far from open, has forsook their obligation to do news stuff in order to campaign against President Trump from the time he was a candidate until now….approaching three years.  Unless it is negative, and unless it can be linked to President Trump, you get almost nothing of the news from our media.  It is no joke to say that if Trump himself cured cancer, the left would bitch about unemployed oncologists, that if he solved poverty at home, the section eight slums would be his fault.

And, if that abrogation of their responsibility is not sufficient, the media insults us further by broadcasting and quoting Obama, Schumer, Pelosi and the rest of the leftists and their rhetoric, when AMPLE evidence exists that the people being quoted are lying, have changed positions because President Trump is the President, and making no effort to hide the fact….why should they?  The media will do their bidding.

Trump once described fake news (which is now virtually all news from our media) as an enemy of the people, of the country.  But the truth is worse than that.

We can now say for sure that we don’t have a media in this nation; we have a propaganda ministry.
