Electing a Republican president is as close to a miracle as Americans can expect in 21st Century America. Why do I say this? President Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961) was the last GOP president that the media did not daily malign, daily lie about, and daily denigrate. Since the 1960s, Big Media has fallen all over themselves to twist news coverage to help Democrat candidates & presidents, AND lie about & make fun of GOP candidates & presidents.
GOP presidential candidates have long had two adversaries: the Democrat candidate and his Public Relations firm, AKA Big Media. They now have a third opponent, the Deep State.
Big Media spent two years hounding President Richard M. Nixon (1/20/69 -8/8/1974) out of office because he may have been involved in a coverup of a botched burglary of a DNC office. Back then, they pretended to care about the honesty of the man in the Oval Office. Fast forward to now: For the last four years Big Media has manipulated, maneuvered, and lied to the public to hide the fact that the current occupant of the White House has received millions of dollars selling influence to foreign countries & foreign businesses. America has never had this much corruption in the Oval Office. Never. Not even close.
BIG MEDIA & DEMOCRAT PARTY: A VERY SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP
Volumes have been written about the symbiotic relationship between Democrats and Big Media. Below is just a small, small, tiny, tiny, short, short list showing how Big Media and Democrats have been in bed together for decades. This reciprocal relationship has been going on since at least the FDR Administration (1933 -1945),* but I will begin thirty years ago:
1992: During the election, Big Media refused to investigate & report on Democrat Bill Clinton’s ferocious sexual appetite, his numerous former mistresses, and the multiple rape allegations against him. They concentrated on portraying Bush 41 as an out-of-touch rich man because he drove a small inboard motorboat on vacation in Maine. Big Media called it a yacht!
1996: Knowing full well that President Clinton was sexually abusing a 21-year-old unpaid intern in the Oval Office, Big Media hid it from the public to get him re-elected. At the same time, they went to some lengths to portray Senator Bob Dole, the GOP challenger, as a dark, mean man. This, even though his colleagues in the Senate have long reported he had a delightful, warm personality & great sense of humor. The media even went so far as to dig up a black & white photo of Dole as a toddler, wherein he was apparently having a terrible-twos temper tantrum. Now, there’s proof he should not be president.
2000: Election day lasted FIVE WEEKS when VP Albert A. Gore, Jr. (D) and Texas Governor George W. Bush (R) competed for the presidency. Big Media had the public believing that Gore would win hands down. They did not report that the Gore campaign had election attorneys stationed in five battleground states days before the election, ready to challenge any results that were close.
The Gore campaign wound up choosing Florida because Bush’s brother was governor and the popular vote there was close. With Big Media’s help Democrats screamed 1) voter ignorance (voters really wanted to vote for Buchanan, not Bush), 2) machine error (despite the fact that the same manual devices had been used without problems in multiple states for decades) and 3) vote manipulation (because the Florida Secretary of State was a Republican).
Of course, this was entirely bogus, but Big Media and Democrats managed to make a five-week circus out of it, desperately trying to put Gore in the White House. Over the months following the election, eight news organizations commissioned studies, and all found that George W. Bush did, indeed, win Florida, and thus won the presidency, fair & square.
2004: During the September leading up to the presidential election, the long-running CBS show “60 Minutes” used forged documents, to help Democrat Senator John Forbes Kerry beat Bush 43. Sharp-eyed viewers caught on quickly and a scandal ensued wherein long-time Leftist broadcaster Dan Rather was disgraced and forced to retire. I doubt this was the only time that “60 Minutes” manipulated facts or just plain made-up stories to hurt GOP candidates and/or help Democrat candidates.
In addition, Big Media never challenged and never corrected the big whopper Kerry repeatedly told: he called the Vietnam War “Nixon’s War.” President Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat, got the USA into Vietnam, and Republican Nixon got us out.
2008: Desperately wanting a Democrat black man in the Oval Office, despite his lack of experience, hatred for America and ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization, Big Media created a “love child” story about the GOP candidate, John McCain, without any evidence, without any woman claiming this and without any “child” coming forward.
2012: Big media tried to turn Mitt Romney, the mild-mannered, kind GOP challenger, into a bully. They dug up a story about a college prank that several boys (Romney may or may not have been involved) had pulled on a classmate. No one was injured, but Big Media pushed this false narrative for weeks. At the same time, they refused to report on how the Obama Administration was intentionally keeping the economy down, flooding the USA with Muslims from terrorist countries, exacerbating racial tensions, and diminishing the middle class.
A PARTNERSHIP OF THREE: BIG MEDIA, DEMOCRATS & DEEP STATE
2016: I will not repeat the journalism malpractice that was committed by most of the print and TV “journalists” since it is still fresh in Americans’ memories. The Russian Hoax was exposed, many of the traitors are known but go unpunished, and Big Media has completely lost all credibility. But, the public learned for the first time, there are now three adversaries against Republican presidential candidates.
The Deep State partnered with Big Media and the Democrats to destroy the Trump presidency, and to ensure only Democrats occupy the White House going forward.
2020: Both before and during, Big Media & the Deep State were active partners in helping the Democrats rig this presidential election in favor of the Democrat, a man too demented to campaign. Indeed, to this very day they are still hiding how the fraud was committed and pretending the massive evidence uncovered does not exist.
2024: Last year David Horowitz, former Communist, wrote a best-selling book, “Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be The Last,” wherein he explores how Democrats/Progressives/Socialists/Marxists have been successful in dismantling America’s system of checks & balances to create a one-party state:
“America is not a nation divided between 74 million supporters of Adolf Hitler and a virtuous rest. Challenging an election result is not plotting a coup. On the other hand, being persuaded that it could be is a pretty certain indicator that, should the next election result in a Democrat victory, the party of the righteous will find ways to make sure it is the last.”
