Could We Be Witnessing the End of Liberal Media?

For years, the liberal media has been a dominant force in shaping public opinion; whether parroting the Democratic Party's talking points, attacking conservative figures, or downplaying major scandals that could harm their favored candidates, they had a virtual monopoly in the field of journalism. Things have changed. From the rise of conservative networks and independent journalists, people have more choices now, and it could spell the end of the liberal media. It’s not just me saying it. Jim VandeHei, the co-founder of the USAID-funded Politico, also believes the heyday of left-wing media might finally be over. And not just because they’re losing the slush fund money.

In economics the term 'Destructive Innnovation' comes to mind. When Henry Ford made use of the assembly line for production the largest company in the US was the Chicago Buggy Whip Company. Podcasts and X have changed everything. Thank you Elon. There's still a ton of junk out there to sift through, but it is possible.

Margolis pretty exhaustively analyzes the reasons the Left media are withering away. I have often ended my postings with an exhortation to wake up, the time was running short, we’re careening toward the precipice, understanding that those words were spoken largely to the whirlwind because the lefties (Dem/Left) weren’t coming here, which is part of the reason the gunk still gummed-up the eyes of their understanding. A couple of huge factors came to mind: Remember when Bill Clinton was whining and complaining that our great Rush had three whole hours every day to get his message out? It was ridiculous of course, Clinton was a popular POTUS. However, there followed a myriad of efforts to compete with Rush. Those efforts other than in the big newspapers weren’t financially successful. Actually the papers were also struggling, and new media were adding more competition. So why wouldn’t the Dems in DC figure out how they could get their hands on some of the billions coming into the Treasury?!? Just speculating on the origins or acceleration of agencies like USAID, and avenues cut out of HHS and others, to sponsor journalism or culture or —good grief! Remember the PSAs? Environmental, health WHO, CDC, on and on ad infinitum! There appears always to be a carve out for “journalism” “information” deemed essential for “The Peeeople”. So the money flowed, the good press for Dems and for all those burgeoning departments and agencies and a gazillion lawyers in DC (et alia) to keep the whole operation chugging along. AND THEN: Donald J. Trump… It seems to me that the dreadful day in Butler when he came millimeters from death, seemed to sharpen his focus and mission. A miracle had occurred. Now the Dems are flabbergasted. Carry on, DOGE! Thank you, President Trump.

For me, it ended shortly after the coronation of the Kenyan and the first scolding from his lovely wife. We were told that a skinny, weak, effeminate, communist, gay, intellectually-challenged, pot-smoking student of affirmative action creation, was going to bring America to her senses. How did that work out?

The media thought no one could touch them, hold them accountable. That may be true for government but they DO have a boss, the American People. Their downfall started when they decided they could tell us what to think, instead of providing information and letting us make up our own minds. They were sneaky about it at first but then became arrogant. Then alternate information streams became available, ones that were better aligned with truth. Now we know we have been lied to, like a used car salesman trying to sell is a junker. That is all they are to us now.

I see from this and other posts on this subject, that I’m not alone in thinking of our beloved Rush Limbaugh during all of this Winning. He was very instrumental in making all of this possible. I’m so thankful that President Trump came to power in Rush’s lifetime, and recognized and rewarded him for his part in Making America Great Again. I wish that he was here to see what he always knew was possible. I‘m so thankful for EIB, and all that he did toward this time, and for his established place in American history among other great patriots. Rush is loved and missed much more than I can say!

I remember when the communists tried to get into talk radio. It was pathetic. They tried so hard not to offend anyone and their statements were so full of disclaimers I never figured out what the message was. It was every bit as pathetic as David Hogg's lame attempt at selling pillows to compete with Mike Lindell. back then my day was filled with Rush, G. Gordon Liddy, Michael Reagan and Hannity. It was a good time.

One of the key factors in the MSM collapse is that Trump and his allies are holding them accountable for their lies via lawsuits. Throw in the fact that younger folks get their news from social media types, and you have the MSM market share dwindling away.

If we all answer yes, will that make it so even quicker? Hey, as long as it happens. When more people learn about how taxpayer money has been stolen, and we're in trillions of debt for it, the liberal media and all the left will be done. The rats are talking about shutting down the government in March to hurt Trump. I say shut it down along with a lot of media orgs. Start confiscating stolen money from every last one of them, get the prosecutions going, and get the spending right. It can be easily proven that they received money; that part shouldn't take that long; and there's a whole bunch of money allocated to USAID to get it done. Me too, poster #5.

Well, we've wondered how the Enemedia keeps going on with an ever shrinking audience, and we now discovered that evil USAID was funding it. Now that USAID is cut off, maybe they'll actually be subjected to market forces, and without an audience, no money, no Enemedia. But, NYT is propped up by a Mexican billionaire, Carlos Slim, almost guaranteed funded by the cartels, so who knows what other corrupt, criminal, crooked folks will step in to fund the Enemedia propaganda.

First: Rest In Peace, Rush! I have a framed print of McNaughton's Rush with "The Talent On Loan From God.... Has Been Returned" on my wall. To me, a good-size chunk of the credit goes to Elon. Think about it. Before 2016, the 'Rats had a monopoly on all the bigger media outlets, talk radio being the exception. In 2016, Trump used Twitter to blast a huge wall in the Lamestream Wall of Lies and get his message out. He would Tweet, and the Lamestreams had a compulsion to reply. Trump got his message out, the 'Rats ran the HildeBeast -a widely despised person- and Trump won the election. In 2020, the 'Rats kicked Trump -and everyone else who did not 'Toe the Leftist Line'- off Twitter, so that huge avenue to get information out was again monopolized by the 'Rats. Then Elon bought Twitter, renamed it 'X', and brought Trump and the rest of the free-thinkers back on. Trump again had a big platform to get his message out, and combined with the 'Rats running HeelZup (perhaps the only person more despised than the HildeBeast) Trump won. Just enough Pubbies also won to give them both houses of Congress- and the Rino Ryan from Wisconsin was not Speaker. Trump has truly 'hit the ground running' and I am hopeful that the Congress will waddle along in his footsteps. It looks like a lot of people are hearing the truth for the first time, or else they just want to be on the winning side', and as a result the Lying Leftist media is withering away... Finally!

Re references to Rush. I was born the same year as Rush, so his passing is that much more thought provoking. We don't have any idea how long we have on this ride.

CNN analyst Ashley Allison lost it on Wednesday night, launching into a tirade over DEI and essentially accusing CNN of racial discrimination. The comments happened during an exchange with Scott Jennings, who was offering support for the Trump administration's dismantling of so-called "diversity, equity, and inclusion" initiatives. Allison responded by claiming that as a "black woman in this country," she does "not have the same opportunity" as the others at the table. Well, that's awkward because if Allison has "always been the least-paid person on payroll at every institution" she has worked at, that would include her current employer.

Are Trump's Tariffs Really Tariffs? 7 replies
Posted by FlyRight 2/7/2025 4:59:56 AM Post Reply
Hysteria has erupted here and abroad over President Donald Trump's threats to level trade tariffs against particular countries. Both American and foreign critics blasted them variously as either counterproductive and suicidal or unfair, imperialistic, and xenophobic. Certainly, tariffs are widely hated by doctrinaire economists. They complain that tariffs burden consumers with higher prices to protect weak domestic industries that, shielded from competition, will have no incentive to improve efficiency. Their ideal is "free" trade. Supposedly a free global market alone should adjudicate which particular industry in any country can produce the greatest good for the world's consumers, whether defined by lower prices or better quality, or both.

East Hampton government officials are trying to quell wealthy residents’ fears that local police could deport illegal migrants from the tony town — many of whom work as maids, landscapers, and nannies to support the luxurious lifestyles of the well-off locals. Village and town leaders held a special community meeting on Tuesday to assure citizens of Long Island’s exclusive nabe — where the median property value is $2 million — that their hired help are not on their radar when it comes to deportation.

For thousands of years, going back to the Bible, women have wept and grieved and pleaded to God over their miscarriages. Indeed, it took all these millennia for modern-day pharmaceutical companies to develop solutions to this ongoing nightmare. In the 1940s, they were happy to offer doctors the ability to prescribe diethylstilbestrol (DES) to prevent miscarriage. “You can tell them you would give it to your wife,” the marketing mavens from Big Pharma suggested to physicians. And with good reason.

In a tit-for-tat move, President Donald Trump revoked former President Joe Biden's security clearance. Trump announced his plans to do so on Truth Social, saying "we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings." In 2021, shortly after taking office, Biden had revoked Trump's security clearance. Former presidents typically retain their security clearance as those in the very small club of past presidents have a unique perspective on domestic and global matters as well as on the rarified position that they each have held. "There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information," Trump said,

The report noted that what these three countries share in common is a strong need for US support, as Somaliland and Puntland seek international recognition, and Morocco has an ongoing territorial dispute over Western Sahara. Somaliland has been looking for recognition as an independent country.

CNN reported on Saturday that a federal judge halted Elon Musk’s government efficiency team from accessing a critical Treasury Department. US District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, who Barack Obama appointed, cited a risk of “irreparable harm.” The order temporarily stops access to a sensitive payment system that distributes Americans’ tax returns, Social Security benefits, disability payments, and federal employees’ salaries. Moreover, Engelmeyer ordered the destruction of any downloaded information from the payment system by anyone given access to it since January 20, the date Trump was inaugurated.
