It’s truly awe-inspiring to watch the news media berate Republicans, down to the very end, over the “free and fair” election we’re most certainly not about to have. Everyone who’s honest knows this wasn’t fair. The media made sure from the beginning that it never would be.

I’m curious as to how they expect this country to have a normal election ever again. “Normal” has nothing to do with Donald Trump referring to “the enemy within,” his rightful broadside against Liz Cheney as a cowardly warmonger, or any other fake controversy the media created to assist in their campaign to elect Kamala Harris. Those are deceptions propagated for the purpose of ignoring real scandals, incompetencies, and negligence permitted by the Kamala-Biden administration.

I’m talking about an election like those in the good old days where one side didn’t use government and corporate power to censor, imprison, and nearly murder its opponents. We know which side did all of that this time around, and yet CNN, The New York Times, and all the rest have glided along, only stopping to ask Republicans if they’ll accept a Kamala victory without question or otherwise brazenly lie about things that are demonstrably true.

Our corrupt media swear the only personal investment they have in this election is ensuring it will be “fair” and consequently end with a peaceful transfer of power, concepts they have worked all along to erode and undermine with not a sliver of regret.

They care about fairness the same way they care about “democracy,” a once important term they’ve raped and bastardized so as to make it unrecognizable. It’s only democracy if their preferred candidate is elected. Likewise, things are only fair if they get to have the last word on what’s true, what’s false, and what’s open for debate. (Hint: True is whatever Democrats claim it to be, and anything to the contrary is disinformation.)

The media don’t get the excuse of being stupid or insane. They’re malicious and depraved. They knew what they were doing when they feigned ignorance over the dramatic degree to which President Biden had physically and mentally deteriorated. They were lying to the public because the full truth would hurt Democrats. They knew what they were doing when they explained away the devastating harm the Kamala-Biden admin was doing with hyperinflation and unchecked immigration at the border. They were lying to the public because the full truth would hurt Democrats.

They knew what they were doing when they looked the other way as a sitting president was removed as his party’s nominee for reelection in a bloodless coup, only to have an absolute joke of a candidate installed in his place with no transparency or discussion of how it happened. And when Democrats said this was all just fine, the media knew what they were doing when they collectively agreed and put their full weight behind convincing voters Kamala was a capable alternative. They were lying to the public because the full truth would hurt Democrats.

They don’t get to say they care about a “free and fair” election. They relinquished that right a long time ago, pissing away all of their credibility, cheapening the constitutional right to a free press, and abandoning any responsibility they had to truthfully inform the voters on the state of the nation.

Nobody needs to worry about whether this is going to be a “free and fair” election. The media already decided it wouldn’t be. What we should be concerned with once this is over is figuring out how it is possible to ever have one again.
