The Hollywood Reporter (THR) has long been a major publication in the entertainment industry, but that doesn’t appear to make them feel any responsibility for being fair and balanced. Over the years, they’ve made no secret of their disdain for President-elect Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
A new article by their reporter James Hibberd on how to “digitally silence” Trump and “block (him) from all your screens” is a prime example.
From the very first sentence, the TDS was strong. Hibberd wrote:
Now that Donald Trump has been re-elected to a second (and perhaps final) term, some Americans are getting ready to Resist once again.
Not just resisting, friends. They mean Resisting! With a capital R!
And did you catch the not-so-subtle fear-baiting with the insinuation Trump might do away with elections? Yes, we’re laughing, too.
Hibberd then goes on to point out that his article isn’t for those who are preparing to capital R resist again:
This is for those of you who feel like: I already did all that! For four years! And he’s still back!
Oh, no! Whatever shall they do?!
Well, Hibberd wants to ensure they don’t cling to the hope that everything will be just fine because Trump was already president once. No, Hibberd claims that kind of logic is akin to playing Russian Roulette and thinking everything will go well because it did before.
He also argues if you read about Trump’s “circus” or one of his quotes, then Trump is essentially “putting his voice in your brain.” He even goes so far as to call it “assault-y”:
Look, we don’t want to overstate this, but it starts to feel vaguely assault-y when you cannot escape one man’s monologue no matter where you go or what you do. Trump’s random 2 a.m. ALL-CAPS thoughts become official public statements, which become media headlines, which pop up on your phone, which go into your mind and can cause — for some — anxiety, annoyance, anger and despair.
This is Serious stuff, people! With a capital S!
But those poor “undocumented immigrants” (meaning people who knowingly entered the country illegally and knew the risks involved in doing so), won’t have the luxury of following Hibberd’s tips, he points out. He follows that with another ominous warning:
At some point, perhaps, a crisis might occur where none of us will have that luxury.
Is it any wonder people are trying to kill Trump, and one woman even killed her father on election night with a pick axe after arguing with him about Trump, when publications like THR are pushing such complete Chicken Little nonsense?
Included at the top of Hibberd’s guide is a “Trump blocker extension for Chrome.” Yes, that really exists.
Too bad there isn’t a liberal propaganda blocker but then again, conservatives know how to be big boys and girls and not have emotional breakdowns when things don’t go their way. It’s called “Adulting.”
THR would be doing their readers a much better service by reporting on how to do that instead.
