The fawning complacency and collusion of the liberal media during this election has probably destroyed forever any pretense of professionalism in the liberal media ranks of the U.S. The growth of organizations, television shows, forums, etc., that discuss media bias should make anyone in the putative journalism industry hang their heads.
And yes, suddenly, with the advent of a Donald Trump presidency, the media will assume the fictional role of public watchdog, but that, too, will be a charade to rationalize an overly critical treatment of the party that the liberal media can’t hide their true feelings about.
With the liberal press openly campaigning for Hillary Clinton and trying to sink Trump during this election, we need to have a conversation about the press, with the press. The press needs to explain itself.
“Liberal journalism,” as one wag put it, “is all about deciding which facts the public shouldn’t know because they might reflect badly on Democrats”.
I didn’t like either candidate this time, but I finally decided to vote for Trump because I figured that it would take a change in administration to root out the corruption of the Obama regime.
A second federal judge has now made the finding that Obama’s IRS is still targeting conservative groups. Think about that. The Democratic Party has weaponized the IRS, the Department of Justice (per Wikileaks) and the executive branch against citizens of the United States who don’t agree politically with Democrats. Has the liberal media reported on this event? No. So the media is weaponized against citizens also. We need change.
