Why Does the Mainstream Media Support a Second Trump Presidency?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

No one is reporting one fact about the 2024 election. As they did in 2016, the mainstream media is clearly supporting another illegitimate win for Donald Trump.

In 2016, the media covered Trump and his hate rallies five-times more frequently than all other candidates combined. On the rare occasion they covered Hillary Clinton’s campaign they continued to talk about her use of a private e-mail server while Secretary of State. It is an undeniable fact that the media was a large factor in Trump’s controversial victory in the Electoral College.

It is becoming more obvious every day that the mainstream media is once again supporting Trump. The big story of the week, which should have been front page news on every newspaper, and the internet, came from Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff.

Former Marine Corps General, John Kelly, claims that Trump is the definition of a fascist who praised Hitler and the “good things” he did. His allegation was supported by several other members of the White House staff. The question is, “why was this not the front-page story on a single legitimate publication the following day?”

In October of 2016, a meeting in the Oval Office confirmed Russia’s interference in the upcoming presidential election. However, those in attendance, President Obama, Vice-President Biden, leaders of both parties, Moscow Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi decided to hide this fact from the voting public. It is a fact that if the American people had been informed of the truth, Trump would not have won the Electoral College.

A lower voter turnout in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan gave Trump the 270 electoral votes needed to win. The interesting fact is the total number of votes among all three states was less than 80,000.

Why would the media support Trump? The answer is simple. The owners of most of our nation’s news outlets, television, print, and online, share one thing with Elon Musk and Fox owner Rupert Murdoch: they are all billionaires and want another huge tax cut similar to the one they received in 2018. Billionaires have no interest in the future of our nation or its 330+ million men, women, and children. Like Trump, they care about themselves.

Vote for yourself and those you love. Kamala Harris is our president, and will make the super-rich pay their fair share.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncoming

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have writ

Lindsey Graham has Become a Whiny Little Bitch

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Senator John McCain’s death in 2018, Lindsey Graham was a somewhat rational man. It seems that the Senator from Arizona kept the little man from South Carolina in line, and influenced him to do the right thing most of the time. However, almost immediately after Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer, Graham began to offer his allegiance to the man his closest friend despised. I will always wonder why? Senator McCain was a man with principles and integrity. Trump is a man filled with hatred and cares only for himself. The reality is that Graham is now a man without morals who supports a man he knows is opposed to everything loyal Americans like John McCain stood for. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT, FIVE MEN AND FOUR WOMEN, COULD BRING AN END TO THE DREAM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS No sane human being can deny that just before the 2020 election Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the Supreme Court with three additional justices who are politically biased a
