The Media's Lionization Of Megan Rapinoe Shows How They Truly Are The Enemy Of The People

[Ubiquitous]

Sane Americans are all sick of hearing about women’s soccer, but apparently
our national media isn’t.

Megan Rapinoe, the captain of the World Cup-champion U.S. women’s soccer
team, has made headlines over the last few weeks merely by acting like an
obnoxious leftist. From kneeling for the national anthem to using expletives
in public regarding a potential visit to the White House to complaining about
the mythical gender pay gap and even having the gall to purposely drop the
American flag in the celebration of the team’s win on Sunday, Rapinoe has
become the newest flavor of the week for the Left.

And the media love all of it.

Take, for example, CNN’s Anderson Cooper having Rapinoe on his show this
week. Cooper asked her what her message to President Trump would be if she
could give him one. Rapinoe answered:

“Your message is excluding people. You’re excluding me. You’re
excluding people that look like me. You’re excluding people of
color. You’re excluding, maybe, Americans that maybe support
you. We need to have a reckoning about your message of ‘Make
America Great Again,’ I think you’re harking back to an era
that wasn’t great for everyone …”

This accusation is ridiculous. Donald Trump has arguably been the most pro-
gay President in American history — and the first to actually start his
presidency with the stance of supporting gay marriage. But Rapinoe, who
happens to be a lesbian, needs a straw man to blame for her imaginary
victimhood — even as she is now possibly the most famous soccer player in the
world.

Rapinoe also made the rounds on MSNBC. Leftist host Rachel Maddow asked
Rapinoe how fans could support the fight for equal pay, and Rapinoe answered
that people should “come to games, buy jerseys, become season ticket holders,
tell your friends about it” — thereby seeming to answer her own question as
to why men’s soccer and other men's sports make more money in the first
place.

Rapinoe is clearly the Left’s new hero. But in the end, Rapinoe is
irrelevant. She’s just another leftist celebrity. But the obsession with her
points to a much larger problem, especially with the media.

These Leftist hosts could’ve chosen to have anyone on their shows. They
could’ve booked a patriotic athlete, even as a counterpoint to Rapinoe if
they still wanted to also have her on. But, unsurprisingly, these media
companies want these anti-American celebrities on the air, with as much
exposure as possible, because they agree with these celebrities about the
country and about the president who serves as its commander-in-chief.

This has been obvious all throughout the Trump era. The media accuses our
country of running concentration camps on the southern border, slanders the
president as a Russian collaborator, and consistently lambasts conservatives
and pro-American patriots as racist, sexist, bigoted fill-in-the-blank-
aphobes.

How else can one explain the media's reaction to an anodyne national
Independence Day celebration other than that the criticism very likely
sprouts from hatred for the country itself?

How else can one explain the media's constant fawning over former President
Barack Obama when he declared as a candidate that he wanted to “fundamentally
transform” the country?

Because they in the media, too, want the country transformed. They are
radical leftists who despise what America stands for. They despise our
founding creed and our founding documents. After all, our Founding Fathers
were racist slaveholders, right?

There is a serious anti-American problem in our media. The mainstream media-
at-large has become a de facto wing of the radical Left. And until that
changes, they will remain, in the words of President Trump, “the enemy of the
people.”
