| Apparently, if you dare defy the media it has the right to wreck
| your life - as long as you are an anti-Obama rodeo clown or a
| meme-making rando on Reddit. If you are a zillionaire like
| Anthony Scaramucci with the bucks to hire top flight law firms
| and Gawkerize its lame carcass - which I would have done in a
| split-second if CNN had lied about me the way it did about him -
| then you get a free pass.
|
| Now, before we move on, someone is going to point out that the
| meme guy is kind of a jerk and said stuff that offends decent
| people. So? How is that the point? This is a multi-billion dollar
| media corporation using all its power to threaten an individual
| into not criticizing it. How is that ever okay?
|
| the media’s predictable “Oh, well, I never!” campaign of
| conservashaming. That's why we see wussy Fredocon Republicans
| like Jeb! and Kasich trotted out to sadly shake their heads;
| they're always willing to submit to this nonsense and obediently
| trash conservatives in the name of principles that they never,
| ever apply to the media or to their liberal string-pullers.
|
| It’s all a lie, and we know it, and beyond the hate directed at
| us, having the hypocrisy of it rubbed in our faces is even more
| galling. You know, if you want the prestige and honor due a
| nonpartisan, objective truth teller, you need to actually be a
| nonpartisan, objective truth teller. If you won't do the hard
| work of doing that, then you don't get the benefit. You want
| respect? Try earning it.
|
| But the media doesn't want to have to do that. It wants its cake,
| and to eat it too, and further, it wants to make us bake it lots
| of cakes and write on them “Best Wishes Upon Your Voluntary
| Transformation From Boy To Girl By The Mere Power Of Your Wanting
| To Because That Is Totally A Thing And So Is Global Warming And
| Russians.”
|
| Perhaps the best part of all of this is the indisputable fact
| that CNN’s own actions have validated every bad thing Trump has
| ever said about the lying media. That he was totally and
| completely correct about CNN's moral bankruptcy makes it all the
| sweeter.
