© 2016 Jim Spence - Things are a changing in America. The American voters seem to have realized there are so many problems to solve in America you can’t count them all. And solving problems is going to require CHANGE.The vast majority of people say they do not trust the media. Should we believe the media now that the election is over? Just a day or so before the election, the internet news site Huffington Post told its readers that after conducting extensive analysis, it had concluded that Hillary Clinton had a 98% chance of winning. This astoundingly bad prediction by Huffpo made the New York Times election analysis, which set the odds at 85% for a Clinton victory, seem almost forgivable. Other news outlets were similarly way off the mark, with bogus exit polls distorting reality even after polls had closed. Perhaps it might be a good idea to go elsewhere for astute analysis from now on?
You can't give the media another chance based on what it is cooking up now that the
Trump appointments are starting to roll in. Let’s start with Senator Jeff Sessions, the Trump
nominee for Attorney General. Sessions is famous in Alabama for prosecuting the head of
the KKK there. Sessions actually sought and secured the death penalty for the
Klan chief after convicting him. It seems that Sessions also fought to desegregate
Alabama schools. However, since Session is a white Republican one of his
colleagues, a black Democrat told fellow Democrats in the Senate thirty years
ago that Sessions made a joke about the KKK being "ok" until he discovered they smoked pot. Of course Sessions made this quip while he was prosecuting
the Klan. It seems that if you could just allow your self the "flexibility" to take the Sessions joke out of the context of him prosecuting the Klan, you could then interpret what he said as being racist. So…….there you go. This is going to be all that the
mainstream media needs to smear Sessions.
Let’s see, what else can we “learn” about Trump’s bigotry
from the astute analysis of the Democrats in the mainstream media as the post election era
begins. Apparently, Donald Trump is a raging anti-Semite. Democratic Party
fanatic and Hollywood icon Rob Reiner said so on national TV earlier this week. Of
course this charge comes as news to Trump’s son-in-law and confidant Jared Kushner,
as well as to Trump’s daughter Ivanka. Not only did Trump give Ivanka away when
she married Kushner, who is Jewish, Ivanka converted to Judaism prior to the vows. The couple was
married in an Orthodox Jewish ceremony in 2009. These days Trump’s three
grandchildren from the Kushner branch of the family are being raised in the
Jewish faith. It is widely know that Donald Trump supported his daughter’s conversion
to Judaism and supports his grandchildren being raised as Jews.
Still, you have to respect the mainstream media because Meat
Head Rob Reiner charged Trump with being an anti-Semite. So there you go. What else
do you need to have to run with this story of anti-Semitic bigotry by Trump?
Clearly one thing that is NOT changing is how our mainstream
media covers what is going on now that Team Trump is gearing up to govern in
the wake of the election results. It would seem, according to NBC, ABC, CBS,
NPR, CNN, the Huffington Post, the Washington Post, and the New York Times,
that the same pack of racist, homophobic, women-haters, that were elected by deplorable
people (American voters), are starting to appoint horrible human beings to key
positions.
Does it really come as a big surprise that Democrats have not
learned a thing about their terrible blinders in the wake of their stunning defeat?
It is very hard to learn lessons when you are inclined to believe your own lies.
