If you’re a Very Online person, you know there’s three things you can absolutely, one hundred percent rely on:

1. Democrats wailing about the Electoral College after every presidential electoral defeat.

2. After a mass shooting, going after “assault weapons” or “white supremacy” depending on the perpetrator. We will leave it to you to figure out which narrative they will choose and why.

And finally, the point of this post (drumroll).

3. Media figures raging against “misinformation” whenever their control of the Narrative slips. 

We’ve known and they in the media know, that they have a glaring left-wing tilt. But then in 2016 something happened. Trump. He made the media his foil and called them “fake news”. And then something weirder happened: they embraced it and became a clown show. They let their bias flag fly. CNN changed their mission under Jeff Zucker to be nonstop Trump counter-programming. The Washington Post decided to become “the resistance paper” turning columnists into punchlines (hello Jen Rubin!).

And all this for the low, low cost of their integrity. So with their reputation in tatters and the rise of alternate media, one would think that some self-reflection would be in order.

One would be wrong. The standard industry response is to double-down, then double-down again. Hence, the constant and reliable number three mentioned above.

The only silver-lining in all this is that the left-leaning media is shrinking into irrelevance even as they bemoan only right-wing misinformation and give a pass to their own.

Yep!

Since we were on the topic of CNN. Dale was part of the clown “fact check” brigade that only seemed to find misinformation when it came from Trump, then strangely, he seemed to largely vanish between 2020 and 2024.

What a wonderful analogy.

Always nice to keep receipts.

Get thee to the fainting couch, Brian!

Truly, the free flow of information is too precious to entrust to the dirty masses.

Pretty much sums up the entire point, right there.
