I surfed the channels after the speech mainly so I could watch another Chrissie Matthews meltdown and also see Don Lemon, Van Jones, and Anderson Cooper squirm for the right words to capture the theme of Trump's speech. They did not disappoint.
They all had the same analysis....
Dark...Demagogue...Vengeful...extraordinarily dark....loud....scary
Just like the narrative news has been wrong all along about Trump during this election season, they are wrong about last night.
The MSM is full of a bunch of disconnected elitist snobs who think the electorate are a bunch of rubes who need to be guided by their brilliance in order to think right.
They don't realize their irrelevance anymore than Jeb didn't realize it would take more than money to elect him.
They don't realize the internet has become the great equalizer and we no longer turn to them for the truth. We tune into them to see what message their puppet masters want to get out to the masses and to bask in their despair and boy were they depressed and panicked.
Anderson Cooper was stumbling over his words. if anyone was dark in tone it was Van Jones. Rachel Maddow seemed forlorn. You know when the talking heads are not their normal bubbling condescending selves....that something magical has happened.
They are scared. They are scared because they are powerless to stop him. They are scared because they used to be able to come out with their journolisting talking points, different talking heads saying the same things and then the rest of America would be espousing them too.
And then something happened. Americans took the red pill.
Americans realized it wasn't just the politicians lying to them, it was the media too.
Americans realized they could get better information from the alternative media.
The gatekeepers have been made irrelevant. They have Buzz Lightyear Syndrome. They think they are way more important than they actually are.
The Day of Reckoning is here and it's been a long time coming.
There was nothing dark about last night. It was refreshing to actually hear someone in such a high position of leadership saying things that need to be said...saying things NO OTHER REPUBLICAN WOULD DARE SAY.
If you can't speak about the problems...you can't fix the problems. It wasn't dark or vengeful...it was RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION!
Donald Trump is not the answer to our problems. WE ARE! And by crushing the progressive tool that is political correctness, it has opened the door for others to speak up and speak out. The left can't win unless the opposition is controlled. And the opposition is no longer controlled...they have been unleashed.
Perhaps it was a dark and stormy night after all...for the media...whose reign has come to an end.
RIP MSM! You will not be missed....
