Corrupt, Liberal Media Hits Unemployment Line in 2018 (Bitchez!)

The winning never ends for conservatives who are fed up with our rights, points of view, and the general media perception being so mercilessly shamed and exploited.

Check out what John Nolte shared in his latest column:

Nolte: Disgraced Media Already Hit with MassiveLayoffs in 2018

By the time President Trump’s presidency is over, one of the biggest pieces of fake news we will look back on is when we were told by the media that Trump was good for the media business. According to what is happening in a place called the real world, the truth is that business for the media is horrible.

This is really something. CNN had followed the corrupt anti-Trump model for clickbait and ongoing visits and video views. Now the general public is bored with the excessive interest in President Trump's prior private life. People are tuning out and turning to other news sources.

We will start with the Denver Post, which announced Thursday that, between April 9 and July 1, 30 jobs will be cut from its newsroom. That is a massive 30 percent cut of its current staff of 100 journalists.  Just 10 years ago according to the far-left Washington Post, the Denver Post employed 600 journalists. That is close to a 90 percent reduction in only a decade.

Notice the cursing, the swearing, the outrage, the overwhelming hatred.

Enjoy!

Just a few hours later we learned that another wave of surprise layoffs hit the Chicago Tribune. Fourteen newsroom staffers were let go in that publication’s second round of layoffs in less than six months. Back in October more than a dozen were let go. Roger Federer reports that “Further cuts are expected as the newspaper prepares to leave Tribune Tower for smaller space at Prudential Plaza.”

Ha Ha! A similar move to smaller headquarters has taken place in my home city of Torrance, CA, as the original Daily Breeze headquarters had to sell their iconic blue building along Torrance and Palos Verdes Drive and move into some available office space off of Torrance and Hawthorne Blvd.

Last month, the San Jose Mercury News was hit with another round of terminations, as many as 27 staffers were either laid off or bought out.

Ouch! Notice how the liberal press is getting pressed the most in uber-liberal California. They deserve it for all the years of covering for an enabling liberal, progressive, and outright left-wing politicians pushing their self-enriching agenda at the expense of everyone else. They wanted to push a progressive paradise? Now it's turn into a dystopia of tarnished legacies and unemployment.

In late January, the East Bay Times wiped out a quarter of its editorial staff through layoffs and buy outs — a total of 28 staffers.

The funny thing about this move is that editorials are the only way that writers get any kind of funding and viewer traffic. No one else is going to read anything but sensationalized pablum.

We also learned in January that a total of five publications owned by Southern California News Group will face “significant layoffs,” including the OC Register and Los Angeles Daily News.

On our cable dials, while Fox News and MSNBC are open about their respective biases and thrive, the far-left CNN is not only collapsing in the ratings but dealing with some massive layoffs of its own. Over the past few years, CNN, which continues its ludicrous pose as an objective news organization,  has been in a credibility death spiral, and that is finally starting to take a real toll on the anti-Trump cable channel.

This is the best news yet. I can't want to see CNN become DOA.

None of this should be surprising.  Americans are losing faith in the media, and for good reason. The belligerent biases, the unrelenting fake news. As an example, just look at the past 18 hours. Both ProPublica and the New York Times have been caught spreading fake news about Gina Haspel, Trump’s pick to run the CIA, and the Washington media falsely reported that Trump had fired his national security adviser, H.R. McMaster.

For the record, I am more than happy to see McMaster get the blaster. He refuses to call Islam what it is, and that is wrong.

Alternately, this same media missed completely the biggest political story of the last 60 days — Trump replacing his secretary of state with his CIA director and choosing a woman to lead the spy agency, a historic first.

The press simply cannot stand the facts of the Trump Administration. The President has nominated, appointed, and promoted a number of women in his cabinet. However, the corrupt, anti-Trump ene-media are more interested in pushing a narrative of sexual harassment and abuse, particularly over the inconsequential and dubious reports about Trump's dalliances with porn star Stormy Daniels.

Our media is shockingly useless, constantly playing catch up with actual news while obsessing over rumor and innuendo.

The lies, damned lied, and blatant distortions of the press are coming home to roost. Their diligent, unrelenting bias has hurt their brand and their consumer base. Jerry Zucker is losing subscribers and interest by the day, and layoffs are following. I was in Arizona taking a break at the local McDonald's, and the restaurant was blaring CNN's non-stop coverage of the Pennsylvanian special election and the porn star's specious stories. It's sad.

Consider the fact that the media that protected Bill Clinton — a man who as president committed perjury to cover up his sexual affair with a young intern, an affair conducted just a few rooms away from his wife and daughter in the  Oval Office — is now obsessed over a porn star’s story that she might have had a consensual affair with Trump more than a decade ago.

One decade ago, and total obsession to boot. What a waste of media space. It's pretty sad to see how bitter and useless CNN--The Clinton News Network--has become. No one wants to watch them anymore as their Nielsen ratings continue to plummet.

But there's more:

When women credibly accused Clinton of rape, groping, and harassment, our media joined the White House in destroying them as liars. But this same media hoping to turn a 12-year-old consensual relationship into a national scandal.

Americans are tired of the media lying to them, misleading them, lecturing them… Today, there are plenty of alternative sources of news. No one needs to put up with what is called the MSM anymore.

What a wonderful day in the Republic!

Which reminds me…

To protect Barack Obama’s anemic economic “recovery,” our media tried to convince us that unemployment  in the Obama era, was really “funemployment.” When the working class, those our elitist media despise, lose their jobs to illegal immigrants, unfair trade deals, and oppressive and unnecessary environmental regulations, the media have dismissively suggested that they all catch up with the times and learn computer code.

Not only that, but the liberal, elitist--and racist--political and media class told the working poor and middle-income unemployed to spend time pursuing other hobbies and interests because they did not have a job. What fun, right?

Wrong, and now they arrogant media elites and their reporting enablers can go through the same tumults which they had forced on the working communities in our country.

So let me be the first to wish all of these “journalists” a Happy Funemployment and wish them luck all the luck in the world with their new careers as computer coders.

Final Reflection

Such turnabout is fair play for the liberal press. They wanted to push a faulty, false narrative with their progressive, leftist agenda. No one wants to read the press' libera, regressive atenda.

Now they are going out of business.

As John Nolte would say: "Enjoy the funemployment, Bitchez!"

Monterey Press Media Arrogance: Republicans No longer Relevant in California?

The Santa Cruz-Monterey News Groups issued the following editorial three months ago:

Editorial, April 4, 2017: Republicans no longer relevant in California

After witnessing six months of Trump's winning policies, proposals, and orders working their way through the country--even into California--it's worth reflecting and perhaps rejecting these hollow attacks.

California is increasingly a one-party state.

The demise of the Republican party in the state has been advancing for years, but has now become an accepted fact. While this has also been the relativley [SIC] recent rule in Monterey County, the GOP continued to have an influence in state legislation and politics until the end of the governorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2010.

But no more.

Prop 14 had a lot to do with it. I also recognize that the citizens redistricting commission threw the California GOP off guard. They didn't realize that many seats would end up being more competitive for Democrats, not just Republicans.

The recent report on voter registration in the state showed that Republicans hitting the truly endangered list with just under 26 percent of 19.4 million potential voters.

Yes, that is not good. How has the registration plummeted so rapidly?

Leadership and donorship has emphasized inclusion at the expense of principle.

The party had a nearly 35 percent share in 2000.

Democrats now have nearly 45 percent of potential voters, though the party actually lost about a half point since 2000. The biggest increase came from potential voters who declined to state a party preference — 24.5 percent, up from 14.4 percent in 2000.

Decline to state registration is exploding because the California Republican Party has not been taking a firmer stance on key issues.

This trend would amaze Californians from a generation ago, since Republicans once dominated the political landscape in California. The only two presidents coming from the state — Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan — were both Republicans. But no Republican has won the state’s presidential votes since George H.W. Bush in 1988. Except for Schwarzenegger, no Republican has held statewide office this century, and the former governor was something of an outlier as a politician because of his celebrity.

Two reasons why: illegal immigration.

Two more reasons why: voter fraud.

As for the argument that no Republican has held statewide office--they have forgotten Steve Poizner, Insurance Commissioner.

WOW--The media is just dedicated at all costs to smear conservatives and promote Democrats as much as they possibly can.

Some of the move away from the party can be associated with the deeply unpopular presidency of Donald J. Trump, who lost the state to Hillary Clinton by more than 4.2 million votes, receiving only 31.5 percent of the vote.

That is true for now. It's been six months already, and Republicans along the more moderate, centrist, and establishment wings are starting to recognize that their best chances to be effective depend on respecting and working with President Trump.

And this antipathy to all things Trump undoubtedly means Republicans will do miserably in the 2018 midterm elections as well. Democrats already have a supermajority in the state Legislature — meaning they can approve tax increases and regulations to their hearts’ content without needing any GOP votes. And some prognosticators say Republicans will fall even further back in the next election.

LIE! Trump is becoming a more popular commodity, even in California. I do no believe that he will drag down the ticket at all. In fact, Republicans are more likely to come out swinging for their President. The seven seats which Democrats are targeting in California will not flip into Democratic hands.

The failing, falling Democratic Party is going the way of the same perverse, liberal media: closing its doors while losing integrity, trust, and relevance.

So what happened?

The party’s decline is often traced back to Republican Gov. Pete Wilson’s support for Proposition 187, the 1994 ballot measure that cut public benefits to undocumented immigrants. The measure so antagonized the state’s growing Latino voting population and other immigrant communities that they began voting as a bloc for Democrats.

Another lie. Prop 187 was popular among all voter demographics.

Another trend was the virtual end of the aerospace industry in the Los Angeles area in the 1990s, which resulted in an out migration of defense industry workers, many of whom voted for Republican candidates, from the state’s biggest population center, and an inflow of immigrant workers, who mostly voted Democratic.

There is more truth to this assessment. The aerospace industry went into moderate decline because the United States outlasted the Soviet Union. Part of the reason why the South Bay section of Los Angeles county took on a decidedly Democratic hue in 1992 was because of this.

The rise of the tech industry in the 1990s, which continues today, also gave Democrats a boost, as skilled workers from other countries have mostly voted Democratic.

Let's see how long this lasts.Most of the tech and Silicon industries are located in Democratic areas to begin with.

And while Republicans are still somewhat viable in the state’s rural and agricultural areas, the population-rich coastal areas are solidly blue.

That could change. Anything is possible. Wisconsin was considered an untouchable state for Republicans. Trump won the Dairy State, the first time in over 30 years that Wisconsin went red. Why? The power of big labor was taken down through Governor Scott Walker's strategic reforms, thus cutting of the chief funding source for the Democratic Party.

The same reforms could be coming to California following another high-profile Supreme Court case.

And speaking of Big Labor:

The upshot is that legislation increasingly favors the public employee unions who give heavily to Democratic candidates, and to left-of-center initiatives that would not play well in the Rust Belt or the southern United States, but are unquestioned in California.

This fact of life, according to liberals, is about to change. Bet on it.

The lack of debate on many issues, however, is not healthy. One-party rule historically has led to overreach and even corruption among elected officials, who have no need to moderate positions to appeal to centrist or conservative voters.

Of course the lack of debate on issues is not healthy. The first offenders in this regard is not the political process, but rather the corrupt, left-wing media, which has gone to great lengths to shame conservatives and criticize Republicans with abandon, like in this report.

It has come to this: Trump has only sounded what for now seems like the death knell for a once-relevant and viable opposition party.

The corrupt media was convinced that Donald Trump would never announce a bid for President.

Then they predicted that he would not win the Republican nomination.

Then they were assured that he would never win the general election.

He beat them down at every turn.

I am prepared to see him beat down the arrogant California media in the same way.

The liberal press in California has become a wasteland, a shell of its once grand influence in local and statewide elections. All of that is changing. The newspaper industry has become increasingly centralized into limited, overreaching corporate hands.

The stories have less to do with what is going on in everyday lives, and more to do with pushing a distance, out of touch false narrative. No wonder the newspaper industry is in such decline, all while conservative activists, writers, and politicos are filling in the vacuum with stories of local and statewide successes. Conservative groups are becoming more effective at overwhelming and overcoming the political process which has been too-long dominated by the Democratic Party and its illiberal leanings.

The truth is that as California conservatives, specifically the growing phalanx of Trump supporters and activist patriots, get engaged and demand change in the political and moral culture of the state, expect to see YUGE changes at the local level and growing shift of legal and juridical change at the state level.

The press has gotten it wrong so much in California, that they should be more concerned about their growing irrelevance, not that of the Republican Party of California.
