The media is surrendering to Trump already

While we know it’s going to be ugly one way or the other, we have no idea how the specifics of this Trump regime are going to play out. On the one hand Donald Trump is a corrupt madman surrounded by extremist psychopaths. On the other hand Trump is a senile dementia patient surrounded by the world’s most incompetent henchmen. Trump and his band of idiots will win some battles and lose some others.

But don’t tell that to the major media outlets, who are already rushing in to surrender to Trump in advance – while also encouraging us to surrender as well. It’s not just that MSNBC hosts like Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are already meeting privately with Trump in order to kiss his ass and gain insider access. It’s that news outlets like the New Republic are announcing in advance that Trump’s most troubled cabinet nominations will be confirmed no matter what!

It’s nothing new, but it’s as if the mainstream political media is operating in an alternate reality. Even as Joe and Mika lightly chastise Trump on the air, they’re busy hanging out with him behind the scenes. It’s a reminder that cable news is all about ratings and is therefore merely theater, no matter what “side” the network is on. And even as Trump’s Matt Gaetz nomination hits so many ugly snags that it already has no better than 50-50 odds of succeeding, online media outlets are busy chasing clicks by announcing in advance that we’re going to lose this battle, so that readers will begin outrage-clicking before the battle is even fought.

The media’s dishonest war against Joe Biden, along with the media’s insistence on normalizing fully senile convicted felon Trump, is why Trump is back in power. Now that the media has committed that unforgivable sin, the media is doubling down on it by buddying up to Trump and by insisting we surrender in advance. It’s not just that we’re in Hell. It’s that the media is bartending.

I don’t about you, but I’ve had enough of the political media’s villainy for one lifetime. The media needs to be put in its place. It’s why we’re going to turn Palmer Report into the kind of juggernaut that can directly take on the mainstream media and get the truth out there. I’m asking each of you to help me fund this initiative by contributing $25 today. Let’s come together on this and make a difference.
