The Lesson Of Roy Moore: The Dinosaur Media Can Still Devour Small Prey

It is still We vs. Them: They being the MSM, the legacy media, the collective papacy...the dinosaurs.

There is nothing good to say about Them. They are dishonest, destructive, stupid and crass. Are there any positives on their character ledger? Um, they are rich. They are relentless. They are, so it seems, unsinkable.

By any metric--newspaper sales, network news audience, approval ratings to name a few--the news media have lost clout. We once had millions of buffalo out west. They might not have a chunk of continent for their playground but an angry bull bison is more than a match for a Yellowstone tourist.

If anyone has squandered credibility faster than the media, I know not who that might be. But they are not dead. We wrote them off 2004. They came back in 2008 with their Macy's balloon of a deity and reclaimed their dominance. 

In 2016, Trump and his Deplorables soundly defeated the hive. These thugs do have stamina, however. In 2017, the Democratmedia crush Senate candidate Roy Moore. The dinosaurs still walk our Earth.

This from Thomas Wictor: Please forgive him for his white on black text. UGH!

The demolishing of Roy Moore as a Senate candidate shows that Democratic gods of script writing are able to determine how virtually everyone in the country thinks about politics.

In the primary runoff, Roy Moore beat Luther Strange by 9 points. Strange had the endorsement of both the Republican establishment AND its bête noir Donald Trump. People have already forgotten that. They’re reading from their new scripts.

Strange had money and support from on high, but Roy Moore beat him. Moore was poised to win easily. Therefore the Democratic gods of script writing first conditioned everyone to think that Roy Moore is completely beyond the pale in every possible way. And everyone obediently internalized this characterization.

THEN the Democratic gods of script writing made outlandish, transparently false accusations against virtually the only man in the country who should have been immune to such slander.

But EVERYONE bought into the lies. They were in the script, after all.

Trey Gowdy GRILLS Rod Rosenstein Over Conflicts In Special Counsel Inves...

A lot of people have soured on Trey Gowdy. All talk, no action. Point taken. But he still highlights the core issues like no one else.

Alabama Special Election Update

NYT had Jones as high as 80% probability. That is now down to 65%.

Alabama Special Election

A while back, this blog asked if Roy Moore was the second coming of Ted Stevens. Now, it is fairly safe to say that something similar is at work.

Unlike a lot of outed predators and sickos, Moore never admitted to a single allegation. Given its track record, I tend to NOT believe anything promoted by "The Washington Post" Throw in Gloria Allred and I don't believe a word the accusers are saying. Not a word.

Fox News was touting some new methodology that had Jones winning in an upset. Actually they came short of saying that, but they definitely suggested it. Shades of 2016.

I don't usually look at "The New York Times" but they do call election nights better than anyone I know. Again, shades of 2016. They had Jones ahead early on. Then Moore surged to something like 55%. Then it went back to toss-up. Now with 21% reporting, Moore is given a 54% chance of winning.

Trump Still Packs Them In

The thrill ain't gone. The prez spoke in Pensacola Friday night. I wanted to see how well it was received. A certain news (sic) organization showed the arena half full because they snapped photos shortly after the gates opened. I wanted to get a better feel for how warmly Trump was greeted..

The following vid starts at about 4 hours and 19 minutes before Trump starts speaking. Lines are formed up and down the street. People at the front of the line had been standing there for 24 hours. I did not sit through six hours of video and I cannot recommend you do so. But you might jump around to gauge the enthusiasm. If you don't care to do that, I will fill you in: His fans' enthusiasm is off the charts.
