The media has abandoned all pretense at objectivity and have gone full bore Clintonista.
This is a result of two factors; all the Marxist journalists who crawled out of Marxist training in our colleges, and also the corporate ownership of our media, an ownership that sees Trump as almost an existential threat to their control of DC through the Corporate Crony Network (CCN).
Thihs article contrast the treatment of Patty Smith to that of the Khans. Though Smith has no financial interests of any major kind (what, nonexistent interviews?) the Khans have their entire family fortune built on Muslim immigration legal services and both support Sharia law over the US Constitution and their whole appearance at the DNC was heavily scripted with lies and falsehoods (for example, the Constitution does not guarantee a right to immigrate to the USA).
And yet Smith was viciously attacked and Khan got dozens of interviews on every major network.
There is not a shred of objectivity or even handedness any more.
We plainly must ban corporate ownership of ALL broadcast TV, radio, print and cable media.
They simply lie too god damned much.
Media’s lies, double standards accelerate
Three parents suffered the ultimate loss through similar experiences, yet one was largely marginalized while the others were celebrated. After their speeches, Mrs. Smith receded while the Khans were granted countless interviews to continue their anti-Trump barrage. A Media Research Center’s analysis showed that the Khans received more than 50 times more coverage from the three major broadcast networks than they gave to Mrs. Smith. And the coverage was predictably unfair: MSNBC described Mrs. Smith’s speech as “offensive” and Mr. Khan’s as ” memorable,” the Nation described her remarks as “a cynical exploitation of grief,” and a writer for GQ magazine said he’d like to “beat her to death.” Mrs. Smith described being “treated like dirt.”
When Mr. Trump defended himself, the media pounced again, suggesting that Mr. Trump was an anti-Islam bigot when he was trying — albeit undiplomatically — to fend off Mr. Khan’s political attacks and raise bigger issues about Islam’s treatment of women and the larger threat facing the West. The Khans then received another round of glowing coverage, while Mrs. Smith remained invisible.
The leftist activists disguised as “journalists” will do whatever it takes to advance their politics, even if it means using — or ignoring — the parents of fallen patriots. They have entered a new era of base dishonesty, which makes their hypocrisy more dangerous than ever.
