I used to love watching the Sunday Morning Talk Shows.
This Week with George Step-on-all-of-us.
Meet the Press (Greet the Dems).
In Los Angeles, I could watch News Conference with Conan
Nolan (who played nice with everyone, especially the Democrats who dominate our
tarnished Golden State).
Fox News Sunday was particularly worth the wait (and the
watch). Chris Wallace is pretty fair and balanced, I think. I also trusted
George Will to ask all the hard questions and not worry about making
Republicans—as well as Democrats—really angry.
This past weekend, I remember why I have boycotted them.
All I heard about was “Russia, Russia, Russia.” UGH!
Of course, this batty insanity is not a new thing.
Trump Derangement had already ruined the Sunday Morning
Circus …. I mean circuit.
These guys were obsessed with every thought word, deed,
finger-wag of the Donald.
Even before I was a full-throated endorser of Trump (and not
just because He was Not-Hillary), it really disturbed me how focused, entrenched, enchanted the media had
become with Trump.
Sure, they need the ratings, and he brings in the viewers
like no one else. The general election debates deserved the high ratings they
pulled in. After all, who doesn’t want to see Crooked Hillary getting called
out on her crap?
Yet the fixation on Trump took another dark turn throughout
the general election season. From pundit to talking head, the tongues were
wagging about Russia’s inordinate influence in our election.
The media loved to draw a love-fest parallel between Trump
and Putin, as though they were two autocrats who would hold hands and bulldoze
the world, civil rights and old.
Some of Trump’s campaign team dropped out because of
supposed ties to Russia.
Granted, there are plenty of reasons to fear Russia. Their
aggressive “President” Vladimir Putin invaded Crimea, invested in Iran, and
intervened in the Middle East.
But have we forgotten that this country has the GDP of Los
Angeles County? How many Russians can rub two rubles together to get through
the week? And to top things off, the Russian government has censored religious
groups, and outlawed evangelism in the country—all in the name of
counter-terrorism.
But hey, don’t blame me for noticing Vladimir Putin, who
puts his money where he is mouth is (even if it’s someone else’s). Why did
major magazines recognize him as an influential figure, more influential even
than our current President?
His rhetorical strain of nationalism appealed to many in
this country, who are hungry for America-loving leadership. Barack Obama has
taken every opportunity to shame Americans and our down-to-earth values. Putin
is proud to be a Russian. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a President who is proud
to be an American? Nationalism is very much in vogue, especially when it
determines the difference between a secure border and living citizenry vs. a
globalist idealism which disdains the collateral damage, i.e. lost jobs, lost
international prestige, and lost lives (here and abroad.)
Putin’s timely awareness about national identity and cultural
integrity cannot be ignored, either. His speech to parliament featured this
little treasure: “Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia,
to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian
laws. Minorities need Russia, and we
will not grant them special privileges.”

| Mainstream Media has turned into #FakeNews |
Whether Putin actually delivered these remarks are not, they
are attributed to him, and Americans by and large want their President to
abide by them.
But still, why does the press go nuts and draw up stark
lines from Moscow to DC by way of Trump Tower? Oh, yeah,: Trump once said that
he liked Vladimir Putin.
Yep. He’s a card carrying Communist!
Trump also donated to a lot of Democratic campaigns in the
past. I could not care less at this point, since he beat down a corporately corrupt
kleptocratic Clinton clan. His appointments indicate a clear desire to
accomplish good and Make America Great Again.
No, little press agents. Trump is not a stooge of the
Krelim.
So, who cares about Russia?
The media do, see above.
Once again, I had to watch this nonsense from one Sunday
program to the next. They are fanatical about this. It’s unbelievable. But why?
What is really going on?
They refuse to concede their candidate—and the leftist
agenda pushing the national programming—tanked, and big time.
#FakeNews is definitely a thing, and signals the lasting,
though weakening, gasps of the Democratic Party’s militantly media-industrial
complex trying to shore up its influence and integrity.
And so the morning litany bellowed forth:
- It was the Russians who hacked the Democratic National Committee’s emails.
- It was the Russians who have been pulling strings to falsely induce the American voters to vote for Trump.
- It’s the Russians’ fault that Donald Trump has taken on the autocratic veneer of a euro-nationalist thug.
Actually … no.
Julian Assange drip, drip, dripped the Wikileaks. Yes, he
hacked away at the Democratic Party’s servers. But honestly, if the Democratic
Party had not been up to no good, they wouldn’t have had anything t hid in the
first place?
The Wikileaks flooded the news cycle with truth like a
wicked washing machine taking out the stains in the most soiled cloth one can
imagine (and I am not talking about Monica’s blue dress from Bill Clinton’s
Oval Office).
The Russian hysteria is Fake New on steroids, a stinging and
laughable refrain that the media as we know it is dead, and that a new media, a
consortium of average joes who can report the news bigger, faster, stronger and
better have discredited and marginalized the press, radio, and TV which had
lulled us into complacency.
This Russia Complex is just one more reason why We the
People won with Donald Trump, and will be telling the Sunday Morning Madness
“Dasvidaniya!”
