On the media – yes, I chuckled too

It is no secret that I hold most of the MSM in rather low regard as they make themselves to be objective, non-biased – and of course, smarter than the rest of us – especially those of us of the “fly over country” persuasion (if not geographically, then sensibilities-wise).  Oh, the faux outrage, the horror that, oh my gosh, someone is insulting them:

Journalists reacted in horror Sunday morning after President Trump tweeted a fake video that showed him body-slamming “fraud news” CNN in a fake wrestling match.

While many of the president’s supporters online reacted to the video with humor, the consensus among journalists seemed to be that Trump was inciting violence against the media.

“It is a sad day when the President of the United States encourages violence against reporters,” CNN said in a statement responding to the tweet.

Humorless.  Utterly humorless – and too self-important.  And goes down hill from there:

ABC News’ chief political analyst Matthew Dowd claimed Trump is “advocating violence against media” and demanded Republican leaders “put country over party” in response to the fake video of fake wrestling.

“Around the world, journalists are murdered with impunity on a regular basis,” Poynter managing editor Ben Mullin gravely stated. “This isn’t funny.”

CNN commentator Ana Navarro called the tweet “an incitement to violence” in an appearance on ABC News. “He is going to get somebody killed in the media,” she claimed.

None of them actually believe that, of course. What the DNC-MSM is actually angry about is that those enjoying the president’s tweet the most are millions of those same voters whom they’ve trashed for years, not least of which those residing in “downtown Arkansas,” as the New York Times embarrassingly tweeted yesterday. Just this past week, CNN producer Jimmy Carr was caught on hidden camera by an associate of James O’Keefe saying, American voters are “stupid as s**t.”

Go to the link – I chuckled.  I chuckled more that these bunch of self-important incompetents (really – downtown Arkansas?) are now getting the same treatment they’ve done to us for decades.  It seems that they really hate getting picked on – even when they deserve it.

And no, its not “fascism” or “violence” – it’s just one application and than another of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals Rule #5:  “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

Heh!
