So remember the I word, inflation. Neither does the media because it no longer works for them. And what about the stock market? The media had investors stepping out on a ledge and not just to drop a water balloon on the homeless guy below. Tariffs were supposed to cause such an economic collapse that it convinced me to stop paying my writers.
And what of the assertion that Trump would be a laughingstock on the global stage? Have you seen what's going on in the Middle East? They're giving him jets as a housewarming gift. Biden wasn't even worth a barf bag and an extra bag of sun chips. Americans are sick of it. A recent poll found that 49% of voters think media bias is getting worse compared to just 11% who see it getting better. Meanwhile 44% of voters agree with this statement that no matter how much you hate the media it's not enough.
You know I have that same feeling but it's for sharing an elevator with Brit Hume after he's had his sardine smoothie. But that's not just losing trust. That's burning down an entire industry and peeing on the ashes. This hatred is bipartisan. Not just Trump bros and monster trucks playing Kid Rock at max volume. We're talking independents, centrists, even bored libs who keep getting let down because they're being led down the path of defeat.
So it raises a new question. If we're tired of the media's lies why aren't they tired of it too? I mean I can understand a liar continuing to lie if it pays off. That’s how I talk my way past the height restrictions on most roller coasters. But what if the filter you use keeps predicting the wrong outcome, wouldn't you get tired of that? Wouldn’t you go back to the drawing board when you see that it doesn't work anymore? It's like when I realized I can't keep firing my secretaries when they won't date me.
Again, it's one thing to make millions selling swamp land in Florida but it's another thing to try to sell swamp land and it's you who ends up in the moss and the mud. The grift isn't just not working out on us, it's not working for them either. And surely by now the media and Dems have heard enough from the criticism. They're out of ideas.
They're too woke, too disconnected from voters. But it’s clear they still ignore it because they haven't changed. But what they can't ignore is that the filter they're using to perceive reality predicts nothing except defeat and misery.
Think of the mindset that led them to embrace the Maryland dad. That led them to think men could play in women's sports. That led them to think this corpse called Joe Biden was conscious or this clown Kamala Harris could win. Their mindset led them to think parents would accept tampons in boys bathrooms and drag queens in school libraries. I could go on but then I would be late for my pole dancing class.
I mean imagine if you were a gambler and you had this system that picked horses but every single time you lost. Wouldn't you dump your betting strategy or at the very least pick up a healthier habit like meth. When your frame of reference leads to defeat at every turn shouldn't you lose that frame of reference? You'd think they would but so far they won’t. When it comes to self-reflection the media is less curious than Elton John around a stack of Playboys. —Greg Gutfeld
