Gatekeepers are only gatekeepers when somebody wants to go through their gate. Fewer and fewer people want to go through the mainstream media gate. They’ve figured out there’s nothing on the other side. From Frank Miele at realclearwire.com:
The jig is up, as the bad guys used to say in the movies.
When Rachel Maddow told her MSNBC audience on the night of the Iowa Republican caucuses that she would not be showing the victory speech by decisive winner Donald Trump, I started writing this column in my head.
What arrogance, I thought. Whether MSNBC likes Trump or not, if they claim to be journalists, they can’t refuse to air obviously newsworthy events merely because it makes them unhappy. That’s not how actual journalists even think. But of course, that’s exactly what they have been doing for two decades, and CNN right alongside them. They have been the self-appointed “Gatekeepers” of news and information for their millions of viewers.
Maddow claimed that her network’s decision was not out of spite, but instead was the network not wanting to be broadcasting “untrue things” that Trump might say (and remember, he hadn’t said anything yet). But the Gatekeepers are only concerned about protecting the public from certain kinds of viewpoints. You know, the views of Republicans. They freely allow misstatements by Democrats to go unchallenged.
One blatant example occurred on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Jan. 21 when Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar of Texas said in 2020, “You had the president telling the country to inject itself with bleach to fight COVID.” Wrong! Absurd and defamatory! But the Gatekeepers allowed it to air unchallenged.
I love the final few minutes of Natural Born Killers director’s cut with reporters Wayne Gale and Montanya Chavez with her fruity fabulous fleshy firm fun bags in mesh see through top.
It shows footage of coyotes ripping animals to shreds, the OJ trial where Mob Rule began and Lorena Bobbit among others.
Those who drool over Mockingbird enemedia slime get what they deserve.
