The Lamestream Media's Impressive Wall of Silence

 


Friends, it takes real determination, gumption, and shamelessness to ignore -- completely -- the story/storyline of Hunter Biden, but that's exactly what the mainstream media has been doing these past few months.  I mean, there's strong evidence that Hunter was trading on his father's name to bilk money out of rich foreigners, many of them connected to governments that would like nothing more than to compromise American politicians and their families.  There's suggestive evidence that Joe Biden himself may have profited from these schemes.  The New York Times recently admitted that Hunter's laptop, the source of the evidence that documents many of these claims, is genuine.  Hunter, moreover, is in danger of being indicted for tax fraud, and may be in further legal jeopardy.  So...you'd think there might be a news story here, right?  Maybe even two or three.  Nope.  As this article demonstrates, MSM mainstays ABC, NBC, and CBS haven't even mentioned Hunter Biden's name since last July.  Wow!  Can you imagine?  We Republicans can only DREAM of a media that compliant!  Holy moly!

  1. Hunter will NEVER go to jail, period.

  2. Dr. Waddy from Jack: "Lamestream media"; capital, capital! That it is completely and obsequiously subordinate to the left is once again plainly obvious. How can it be doubted? Will the American people ever muster the resolve to shun it and work its richly deserved disenfranchisement!?

  3. Dr. Waddy from Jack: The "LM" is the propaganda mouthpiece of the American neo Marxist left, the intention of which is to discredit all the real America cherishes and defends. How do we convince the common sense majority that such as ABC,CBS, NBC and especially MSNBC (I do see signs that CNN is tentatively reforming toward a kind of journalism which does not reflexively excoriate America) hold them in contempt and devote their coverage and commentary to the empowerment of an American left determined to force its totalitarian rule on us! If they only KNEW! Surely they would banish these obsequious shills from their evening living rooms and their daytime broadcast fare!

    1. Jack.

      I'm hardly a Left Winger. However, EXACTLY what is it that we cherish and defend? Seriously! Make me a list. I keep hearing these abstract "go team" sayings, but they always fail to mention EXACTLY what it is that we are supposed to cherish and defend.

  4. Ordinarily, I would agree with you, Ray, but the extra wrinkle is that there must be forces within the establishment and the Dem Party that would like to usher Sleepy Joe towards an early retirement (does it still count as "early" at age 79?). No doubt Kam Kam has her fans, but they may also see Hunter as a way to ENSURE that Biden doesn't run for a second term... You gotta play the long game!

    Jack, I'd say millions of Americans are already shunning the MSM. Quite a few of them are even shunning Fox. I revel in the diversity (imagine! ME using that word...) of our modern media environment. The MSM grows more irrelevant by the day. Look at CNN's ratings. Now, sadly the rising generations will have to get their news somewhere (TikTok?), and there's a decent chance they'll choose outlets even more unhinged than the ones we currently lament.

    Ray, your question is an apt one. It's easy for us to sit around and castigate the Left (fun, too!). On the other hand, defining what we mean by traditional America, or conservatism, or Trumpism, or "Western Civilization", is never as easy as it sounds. We should all give this question some careful thought. I know what I'm NOT fighting for: the Republican Party.

  5. Dr Waddyfrom Jack: Ray, that is a very well taken criticism. First; my definition of what I presume to call the real America is this: It is that America ( a majority I think), which does not support the conviction that our country is fundamentally flawed and therefore deserving of punishment and Obama's airily expressed "fundamental transformation". Some leftists may say "well I don't believe that". But when they a very consequential party captured by so devoted commies like Sanders and the squad and academia, much of obsequiously prostituted business management, far too many unions longing for a Dem party long since contemptuously divorced from blue collar America and the vastly debauched entertainment horde . . . then they contradict themselves.

  7. Dr .Waddy, Ray, et al from Jack: What does the real America cherish and defend against presumptuous Dem leftist existential doctrinal attack inspired by unproven future "ideals"?: the sanctity of the time proven institution of marriage; the depravity of the invasion of the very womb for ideologically excused reasons entirely dismissive of the precious innocence and right to LIFE ITSELF, with all that manifests, of the HUMAN fetus; of the God (not humankind) given rights to free expression, to self defense, to organized societal protection from the evil and sociopathic among us; to the right to choose those who govern us and to freely judge their actions, to express doubt of notions such as the "certain human responsibility for climate" without being castigated by totalitarians devoted to forced imposition of their largely imagined, empirically unproven, emotionally propelled fantasies; to untrammeled devotion to our religious beliefs provided they do not impinge on others; and freedom from expectation (even unto loss of our reputations, livings and perhaps soon of our freedoms)of us not merely to tolerate but to affirmatively exalt lifestyles we nevertheless viscerally regard as unpalateable !

  8. Dr.Waddy, Ray et al from Jack: These are just examples. Mostly we want the American left to STEP OFF from trying to force their ways on us. In fact, we demand it and will democratically enforce it and consequently preserve our, ON BALANCE (a principle the American would do well if not to adopt,at least to understand) just America!

  9. Sorry again, senior moments you know: " the American LEFT would do well. . .)

  10. Jack, that's a fair definition of the "real America" (that part which doesn't want America de-Americanized), but it's also, of necessity, vague. What constitutes a "fundamental" transformation, as opposed to a marginal one? At this stage, even I might be in favor of fundamental, transformational change, but of course for me it would in an effort to recover what's been lost... For the lefties, it's motivated by a desire to achieve what's never been (and never can be).

    When you flesh out what real Americans believe in, you are no doubt speaking for a majority, in a lot of cases. Once again, though, much depends on wording and context, and the sad truth is that the Dems and the progressives, when they control the conversation, can elicit much agreement and support from the American people too. I mean, don't tell me you're against "equity", Jack! You're giving me the vapors, Sir!

    It's true, though, that perhaps the ONLY thing that threatens the long-term domination of the Left is their tendency to overreach and to shove their ideology down the throats of ordinary Americans. If someone ever explains to these fanatics that "good things come to those who wait", our goose is cooked!

  11. Dr. Waddy from Jack: Your criticism is well founded Actually, I leapt at the opportunity to defend the term "real America" and to express my essential resentment of the American left for its tragically presumptuous onslaught on the positive ,essential,painfully developed moral, principled humane sinews of our country. How terribly precious these are! To dismiss them out of hand, as the American left does in its ungrateful dreaminess, which prompts a wish that they might be subjected to the harrowing reality of the injustices and bitter hardships of which present day America stands contradictory,is monumentually ignorant and antiintellectual. They would bleat for restoration to this time!Let them not perceive from "good things come to those who wait" justification for their typically demonstrated Marxist tactic of "helping the undoubted future along, with force, after all we know it to be inevitable" That is profound folly. They know the cataclysmic consequences of the application of that view as manifested, to the destruction of millions of lives, in the 20th century. To them: "it just wasn't done right. Let us try again". No, lets not! Let's instead the example set in Western civilization in the 20th, by realistic progress enabled by perception of the limits of human nature. This approach is proven by the miracle of present well being for so very many!

  12. Dr.Waddy from Jack: Since the America hating left has penetrated and infected our very political , legal, cultural and economic vitals: yes, a desirable "fundamental transformation" would be had by their complete defeat!

  13. Dr.Waddy from Jack: Be thou of present deliverence from the "vapors" The recent expected usurpation of the term "equity" demonstrates the American left's realization that equality is structurally established. But it has not yielded the perfect society the left demands. Therefore "equity" ,a limitlessly ambiguous term ( since equality is subject to inconvenient empirical analysis which offends leftist emotion and bigotry) is now their watchword.What may we expect of them in the future? Why, " Dear Leader proclaims that . . .!!! "

  14. Jack, almost all you say is true, but I'm pretty sure the Left DOESN'T "know the catastrophic consequences" that Marxist rule implies. For one, many of them are blissfully ignorant of the atrocities inflicted by leftists, because they only pay attention to those which can be ascribed to right-wingers. In addition, most leftists haven't a clue as to the intellectual/philosophical/ideological linkages between their own "compassionate" views and those of Marx. Ergo, it seems to me that most lefties would dismiss your warnings as hyperbolic and misconstrued -- that's if they ever heard about them in the first place, which of course they won't!

    It's interesting how much currency this new phraseology is getting: "equity". You're right: it's painfully vague. Bland, even. I suspect, though, that the word itself isn't the point. The point is more that the terminology must be continually recycled, to prevent conservatives from ever gaining their ideological footing. I mean, as soon as "quotas" get a bad name, you just reinvent them and call them something else. The masses, surely, will be none the wiser. And, sadly, generally they aren't!
