Confused, Starving Reporters Now Desperate for Food After Killing American Journalism

After it destroyed its own credibility by twisting the truth to protect Joe Biden and hide his senility, can American corporate legacy news media hope for rebirth?

No.

It’s dead. Journalism killed itself covering up Joe Biden’s senility so Democrats could maintain power. Humpty Dumpty can’t be put back together again. The media is a feast for crows.

CNN’s Fake Jake Tapper and the rest of them can shriek and pull out their hair, protesting wildly that they are true journalists interested in “speaking truth to power.”

That too, is a lie.

They are not journalists, they are political propagandists. They’re paid whores.

This latest episode of mainstream media corruption brings to mind an apocryphal story often wrongly attributed to Churchill or George Bernard Shaw, “Madam, we’ve already established what you are. All we’re doing now is discussing the price.”

The disgraced legacy news media is a one-eyed jack, a knave without honor, caught covering up for the Democrat Party lie, installing and maintaining the senile old man who had the nuclear codes. And the mainstream media, from the dying papers to CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC banded together vilifying any colleague who demanded answers.

The boss whore of this despicable gang is Tapper, who is now cashing in, selling his book, telling the tale he loudly condemned others for approaching . And all of his posse who profit after keeping their mouths shut for so long, after putting the nation through hell, deserve contempt. Tapper’s newfound “humility” is but another means to whitewash this shameful scandal.

In this they are much like the prostitute going through pockets after the client has been bludgeoned. But Jake the Fake is not alone. They told us he was “sharp as a tack” but was he? No.

Just who was running the country? And why should we trust anything the Democrats and their media coms shop tell us going forward?

Democrats worked in concert to cover up Biden’s senility. And so did the mainstream media played along because their hatred and fear of Donald Trump compelled them. We saw it all as it happened, so there’s no spinning their way out of it. But they’re trying desperately, beseeching America to eat their waste. And all we really need are the treasonous actors who used the presidential autopen without the people’s permission.

“We are in the midst of this staggering presidential scandal from the Biden administration. Whether you’re talking about the mental decline or the physical decline, there was a conspiracy to keep the American people from knowing who was actually operating as president,” said Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway during a Fox News interview. “It really makes all other presidential scandals throughout history seem to somewhat pale in comparison.”

It would take volumes to list all the White House scandals, from US Grant, Warren Harding, Woodrow Wilson and his manipulative wife Edith; Bill and Hillary Clinton and the 30,000 vanished emails; Barack Obama of the Fast and Furious scandal and the thousands of guns Obama had passed through to Mexican naro-gangs, the murders of the Americans at Bengazi and the political partisan abuses of the IRS.

There is a media myth about Obama’s administration perpetuated by the New York Times, that Obama’s administration was scandal free. No, it was not.

And of course, Richard Nixon of Watergate infamy.

But this one about Biden is much worse than the Watergate break-in. In that one the White House covered up the lawbreaking and the media uncovered it. The establishment media, led by the Washington Post hounded Nixon from office.

But in this one Biden and the legacy media covered up his senility, installed him, and publicly ridiculed any of us who dared point out they were protecting a presidential meat puppet at the expense of the American people.

Americans need news that they can trust to make important decisions about their vote and who would govern them. But they can’t trust this sort of garbage.

And the American people are being told to take it and eat it.

We’re told to eat the garbage they throw at us through the video screens and over the internet, to smile and applaud the corporate legacy media for “protecting” our republic from authoritarianism.

But as we say in Chicago whenever they put their lips together and blow: It’s all bullshit.

I take all this personally.

I spent 40 years working in the mainstream media as a reporter, political writer, columnist, and editorial board member of the Chicago Tribune. I loved working there, loved the readers and the paper and the work we accomplished, the detailed reporting we pursued. I just loved it. We were on a mission, in a politically corrupt city, as the tribunes for the people.

The Trib was once the voice of midwestern conservatism. It was about as mainstream as you could get. No longer. Once the leftist Jacobins took over newsroom, the knives came out and I had to go.

But it wasn’t the ideology that attracted me, it was that we could do real reporting and journalism there. The problem with the Jacobins is they pursued a course that moved away from seeking the truth, they were doctrinaire and lost any pretense of curiosity. They helped turn corporate journalism into what it is today.

Years ago, an associate of the Chicago Outfit and I were having lunch and talking about the mob. Specifically, about the economic lessons to be learned from the Chicago Outfit.

“Citizens see a couple, three cows on the side of a hill and think about putting them together and make more cows, make a herd. And sell the beef.

What’s wrong with that?

“Nothing but that’s not the Chicago Way,” he said. “The Chicago Way is they pull out shoguns, shoot all the cows and make a barbecue. And then they ride off looking for more cows to kill.”

I found the photo of the hyenas to illustrate that point, because hyenas aren’t interested in thinking about the future. And neither was the media, so intent it was on protecting Democrats from the people. And so, the news media devoured its own credibility with Biden, and now wonders where they might find the next feast.

Biden was not fit for office even before his inauguration.

As the great Miranda Devine wrote long ago, Joe Biden has been president-in-name-only since he was inaugurated

Jake the Fake and MSNBC and the New York Times and the rest of the pack of hyenas must now admit there is no feast without customers.

Who would pay for what passes for corporate legacy journalism now?

Only fools. Only chumbolones.

A few are still paying for garbage to eat as Fake Jake squeeze the chumbolones, as the New York Times looks down its nose at the American middle class.

But many others turn away from garbage journalism and reach out to independent journalism every day.
