Random Thoughts of the Day

There are plenty of reasons Trump deserves criticism. I get why many don’t want him as president. Even his most loyal supporters occasionally roll their eyes at some of his words and actions. However, the media and tech companies, through their actions, have effectively given him a lifetime get-out-of-jail-free card. Why? Their bias, corruption, hypocrisy, double standards, hostility, and outright dishonesty have reached staggering proportions. They’ve decided it’s more important to destroy Trump then maintain any shred of journalistic integrity or 1st Amendment freedoms. Consequently, they’ve lost all credibility with 2/3 of the country. Thus, any new Trump criticism or “scandal,” no matter how legitimate, will be ignored. In fact, about 45% of the country now reflexively defends him and believes the opposite of anything they cover. I believe his supporters grow more loyal & intense with every new hit piece. Most of the remaining 1/3 of the country hate him so much, nothing covered by the media really is going to change their opinion. End result: this check-and-balance on Trump is now rendered meaningless.

On the flipside, we know that any negative story about Democrats like Biden, Obama, and Hillary will simply not be covered, except maybe briefly to mock or discredit the story with anonymous sources and unevidenced conspiracy theories like “Russian disinformation.” So the check-and-balance on Democrats is therefore meaningless also.

Taken together, the free, accurate flow of information no longer exists in America. Billionaires, tech giants, and the political establishment leaders will continue to enhance their unchecked power. When will the majority of the country say enough-is-enough and start fighting back?
