We all know that because Donald Trump was able to
win the last election those in our state-controlled media complex have had
their panties in a twist ever since. And
it would appear that the fact the Republican won Thursday’s special election in
Montana has only served to cause those panties to become just a bit more
twisted. Republican Greg Gianforte won
Thursday’s special election for the U.S. House in Montana, defeating Democrat
challenger, Rob Quist despite being charged with misdemeanor assault the day
before the election. Mr. Gianforte will
now take over former Navy SEAL Ryan Zinke’s House seat. Zinke vacated the seat when he accepted the
post of Secretary of the Interior in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet.
The election results, with Gianforte winning over
50% of the vote and leading by a seven-point margin, were a major blow to
Democrats’ anti-Trump efforts, and to the media’s rather high expectations,
after Gianforte had allegedly body-slammed a ‘reporter’ before his final
campaign event on Wednesday. So once
again Democrats’ hopes of being able to turn the race into a referendum on
President Trump’s performance as president, fell flat. Because despite national attention and
considerable outside funding, as well as Trump’s recent controversies in
Washington D.C., Democrats were once again unable to turn the anti-Trump
“resistance” into a victory at the ballot box, a bad sign for Democrat chances
in the 2018 midterms.
Democrats had also been handed the gift of a
last-minute controversy when the UK Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs was allegedly
assaulted by Gianforte. Jacobs said that
Gianforte had “body-slammed” him in response to questions about the
Congressional Budget Office score of the GOP health care plan. An audio recording released by the Guardian
showed Jacobs asking Gianforte a question, before a loud crashing noise was
heard, followed by Jacobs saying Gianforte had attacked him and broke his
glasses. Gianforte’s campaign pushed
back against Jacobs’s claims, saying that the reporter entered the office
without permission and “aggressively shoved” a recorder in the candidate’s
face. So Jacob’s being disrespectful, likely
got him what he deserved.
And as expected many members of our state-controlled
media complex began placing blame where they thought it rightfully belonged and
where else but squarely on President Trump.
According to several ‘journalists’ appearing on CNN, as well as on MS(LSD),
President Trump is the one to blame for Gianforte’s bad behavior because of his
negative rhetoric towards the media. One
such ‘journalist’, Matt Lewis, said “I think it’s pretty clear that Donald
Trump has contributed to what I would call a hostile work environment for
reporters.” Before going on to say, “My
fear was that there might be some person out there, like an unstable person,
who might hear what Donald Trump was saying, hear this rhetoric, and do
something stupid.”
And it was Fox News reject, and now CNN host Alisyn
Camerota who went on to suggest, “We can look at [the incident] as sort of
growing aggression against the press.” And then of course not be outdone it was
Washington Post reporter Karoun Demirjian who chimed in saying, “You’ve got
this kind of culture, you know, the reporters are the enemy going on…you see a
lot of Democrats pointing the finger at the president right now saying you’ve
created this culture where people consider reporters to be the enemy.” She finished up by saying, “It creates a
culture where there is somehow okay.” Never mentioned anywhere in the conversation
is how this ‘reporter’ actually contributed to the events that took place.
And then we had MS(LSD) host, and supposed conservative,
Joe Scarborough joining in on the action, arguing “you can draw a straight
line” between Trump’s rhetoric about journalists and Gianforte’s body
slam. A rather unhinged Scarborough
said, “When you have Donald Trump berating reporters…using the Stalinist term
‘enemy of the people…’ it’s dangerous for CNN reporters!” And it was according to Scarborough’s inane
theory that he went on to say, “Trump is whipping people into a frenzy. This is
not a big leap from what the head of the Republican Party is saying and what
happened last night in Montana.” And it
was MS)LSD) contributor Mike Barnicle who very enthusiastically agreed, saying,
“it leads inevitably to something like this.”
And then of course there was CNN host Don Lemon who,
to the point of being somewhat comical, literally exploded on his guest Paris
Drennard Wednesday night when Drennard refused to assign blame to Trump. Lemon said, “All of a sudden we’re having
incidents like this now…you think it’s just a coincidence?” Drennard tried to
explain that reporters have been assaulted since before Trump was a politician,
but Lemon was having none of that. He
said, “I’m telling you I am [making a connection with Trump]. I’m just saying I
can’t believe that you believe the words that are coming out of your
moth.” Before going on to say, “You feel
that you have to defend everything about this particular person in office.”
Look, the fact is the American people have now grown
tired of what many now view as being little more than ‘fake news’ we now hear
coming from the media. And it’s those in
the media who seem determined to take no responsibility for the fact that we
can no longer trust them to give us the honest and unvarnished truth. And because we can no longer believe what they’re
telling us, we have been left to our own devices, forced to ferret it out on
the internet what these supposed ‘journalists’ refuse to tell us. We are DONE with the slobbering press looking
for the next "gotcha". Gianforte
is simply our answer back, STAND YOUR GROUND does mean something. I'd say the "body-slam" may have actually
helped Gianforte win.
Today’s state-controlled media types differ very
little from those who had nothing to say regarding ‘BJ’ Clinton’s perverted
behavior in the Oval Office, as well as the numerous accusations of rape or the
fact the Teddy Kennedy got away with murdering a young woman. Today, Barry’s illegal wiretapping on
citizens goes ignored, as do the illegal activities of Hitlery. While I do not condone what Mr. Gianforte did,
I can most certainly understand his frustration given the situation. There was a time when the press actually
reported the news rather than try to create it to serve the Democrat Party.
When, if ever, we have a free press again, instead of the Democrat propaganda
machine it has become, perhaps then we'll talk about treating them more civilly.
