Democrats are preparing congressional hearings on President Trump’s assertions that the mainstream media are fake news. Do we really need this dog and pony show? Conservatives have known about their bias for decades. But according to these dimwits in Washington D.C. any criticism of these professional propagandists is considered a constitutional crisis. They believe an attack on these slimeballs is an attack on the First Amendment, as though they are the sole proprietors on freedom of the press and speech.
These so-called journalist and their Beltway brethren are nothing more than society people. They have traded their integrity for approbation from well-connected elites. They care nothing about the truth; indeed they believe they can shape the truth as an ends to a means. These so-called professionals don’t deserve our respect. If anything they deserve our condemnation. President Trump has shown a light on this cockroach party and these pest resent being outed for the diseased vermin they are.
I happened upon a journal entry by Thoreau. I thought his post is as fitting today as it was back in 1852:
April 24. I know two species of men. The vast majority are men of society . They live on the surface ; they are interested in the transient and fleeting ; they are like driftwood on the flood. They ask forever and only the news, the froth and scum of the eternal sea . They use policy ; they make up for want of matter with manner. They have many letters to write. Wealth and the approbation of men is to them success . The enterprises of society are something final and sufficing for them. The world advises them, and they listen to its advice. They live wholly an evanescent life, creatures of circumstance. It is of prime importance to them who is the president of the day. They have no knowledge of truth, but by an exceedingly dim and transient instinct, which stereotypes the church and some other institutions . They dwell, they are ever, right in my face and eyes like gnats ; they are like motes, so near the eyes that, looking beyond, they appear like blurs; they have their being between my eyes and the end of my nose. The terra firma of my existence lies far beyond, behind them and their improvements. If they write, the best of there deal in "elegant literature ." Society, man, has no prize to offer me that can tempt me ; not one.
Shoo, Propagandists, don't bother me. You no longer have the power to persuade me and a growing number of Americans. We have seen through your veil and have witnessed your lies.
