I'm surprised CBS actually allowed this to be published.

"Commentary: The unbearable smugness of the press

Last Updated Nov 10, 2016 12:01 PM EST

The mood in the Washington press corps is bleak, and deservedly so.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that, with a few exceptions, we were all tacitly or explicitly #WithHer, which has led to a certain anguish in the face of Donald Trump’s victory. More than that and more importantly, we also missed the story, after having spent months mocking the people who had a better sense of what was going on.

This is all symptomatic of modern journalism’s great moral and intellectual failing: its unbearable smugness. Had Hillary Clinton won, there’s be a winking “we did it” feeling in the press, a sense that we were brave and called Trump a liar and saved the republic.

So much for that. The audience for our glib analysis and contempt for much of the electorate, it turned out, was rather limited. This was particularly true when it came to voters, the ones who turned out by the millions to deliver not only a rebuke to the political system but also the people who cover it. Trump knew what he was doing when he invited his crowds to jeer and hiss the reporters covering him. They hate us, and have for some time.

And can you blame them? Journalists love mocking Trump supporters. We insult their appearances. We dismiss them as racists and sexists. We emote on Twitter about how this or that comment or policy makes us feel one way or the other, and yet we reject their feelings as invalid.

It’s a profound failure of empathy in the service of endless posturing. There’s been some sympathy from the press, sure: the dispatches from “heroin country” that read like reports from colonial administrators checking in on the natives. But much of that starts from the assumption that Trump voters are backward, and that it’s our duty to catalogue and ultimately reverse that backwardness. What can we do to get these people to stop worshiping their false god and accept our gospel?"

Seriously, go RTWT.

You will probably be surprised as well.

John Kerry tells media to stop reporting the news

"John Kerry: You Media People Should Stop Reporting on Terrorism So People Don't Know What's Going On

Speaking from Bangladesh Tuesday morning, Secretary of State John Kerry suggested members of the media stop covering (Islamic) terrorism so people won't "know what's going on." Kerry attempted to preempt his statement by implying media coverage creates copy cats and promotes more terrorism.

"If you decide one day you’re going to be a terrorist and you’re willing to kill yourself, you can go out and kill some people. You can make some noise...perhaps the media would do us all a service if they didn’t cover it quite as much. People wouldn’t know what’s going on," Kerry said." 

Don't they do that already?  They don't report on Shrillary's Scandals, they don't report BLM's backers, they just plain don't report what the DNC doesn't want them to.

The Mainstream Media has become the Fifth Column

The Fourth Estate  Is the Fifth Column

"While NBC’s Lester Holt was wondering before President Obama’s speech Sunday night if it would “be a defining moment for this presidency,” his counterparts on ABC and PBS picked up where he left off afterward by enthusiastically praising how “struck” they were by “a stern and direct” Obama “laying out" what Obama called "a strong and smart strategy” to deal with terrorism

ABC News chief anchor (and former Clinton staffer plus Clinton Foundation donor) George Stephanopoulos immediately gushed as soon as the President concluded how he was so “stern and direct” by “laying out what he called a strong and smart strategy to deal with the terrorist threat that has evolved here in the United States.”


While us members of the Fifth Estate are TRYING to tell you the truth.


Many of you ignore us.

Our so called independent news

V the K has posted something to show just how "Scripted" the media actually is.


The State of Our Media

Hmmm you'd think that maybe there is someone in an office somewhere writing these scriptfor ALL of the media.


I wonder who that person is?

ABC Propangandists at it again

SHAME ON ABC! They can’t find any Americans with justifiable anti-Muslim sentiment to report on so they use actors to play redneck ‘Islamophobes’

Hey ABC how about you go to Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt Saudi Arabia and see how non-muslims are treated there.

It will fill your if it bleeds it lead quota for a year.

Oh yeah, not during the election

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Robert Menendez employed as an unpaid intern in his Senate office an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender, now under arrest by immigration authorities, The Associated Press has learned. The Homeland Security Department instructed federal agents not to arrest him until after Election Day, a U.S. official involved in the case told the AP."


It sure would be nice if everything I had every screwed up in my life couldn't be brought up ever again.  Man it must be great to be a Democrat and have the DHS and the press cover for you all the time.

Media Silent on outrage

The media is silent on the fact that over twice as many U.S. Servicemen and Women have been killed in Afghanistan in the 3.5 years of Obama leadership versus 8 years of Bush leadership.

"Media Protecting Obama - 2x More Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan under Obama than 8 years of Bush - No Outrage

There have been 1954 U.S. soldiers killed so far in the Afghanistan war according to icasualties 1324 of those Deaths have occurred in less than 3 1/2 years under Obama while only 630 of those deaths occurred in 8 years under George W. Bush

WHY NO MEDIA OUTRAGE?

I remember when Bush was President the Liberal Media stations and news outlets had daily updates of the number of U.S. Soldiers killed with pictures and everything. Now It is almost hard to find out how many soldiers are dying every day because when a soldier dies now it is not on the front page or sometimes not even reported at all."

Click the above to read the whole story.

During President Bush's term, each and every casualty was paraded about by the media as a condemnation of his leadership. Every wounded and injured soldier was interviewed and broadcast world wide. With the various MSM pundits blasting President Bush's leadership. Yet their own messiah more than doubles the number of casualties and all you hear is crickets. Where is the outrage you so called scions of the press? Where is the reporting? The media establishment is so far in the pocket of the liberal/left political machine, they are the new handkerchiefs of the politicians and special interest groups. And you know what goes into a handkerchief? Mucus and Phlegm.

That is my new word for the MSM. Mucus and Phlegm.
