The Mainstream Media no Longer Deserves First Amendment Protection: It has Abandoned its Responsibility
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
When our Founding Fathers confirmed the First Amendment in
the Bill of Rights, they approved protections for the fourth estate. They were
given the responsibility for exposing corruption and criminal activity within
our federal government.
I have the very sad duty to report an irrefutable fact that
the fourth estate no longer exists in the 21st century. Every major
news organization in America is owned by a billionaire/oligarch, and supports Donald
Trump and his Nazi political party.
Not a single broadcast news network, ABC, CBS, or NBC is
independent and has the courage to offer the American people the absolute truth
about the “real Donald Trump.” Since 2015, the mainstream media willfully
surrendered five times more coverage for Trump than all other politicians
combined. Why? Sensationalism increases viewership and produces the largest amount
of advertising revenue. Anything which happens in America in the 21st
century is about profits, including our government, television, all
advertising, healthcare, and religion. Doing the right thing for the right
reasons no longer exists.
Long before Trump rode several escalators within Trump Tower
to announce his intention to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination
in June of 2015, I began the process of searching for information about the
then 69-year-old failed businessman’s life.
The information was minimal, obviously hidden for various
reasons. The facts were not good or bad. He was born on June 14, 1946. His
parents, Fred and Mary Anne Trump were wealthy and resided in the Queens borough
of New York. He was the fourth of five children.1
Born into an atmosphere of white privilege, he was sent to a
military boarding school at the age of 13.
[As a child, Trump displayed behavioral difficulties. “He
was a pretty rough fellow when he was small,” his father later remembered. In
an effort to instill a sense of discipline, his parents enrolled him at age 13
in the New York Military Academy, north of New York City.]
It is important to note that in 2017, after his first
illegitimate election, he had all of his academic records sealed.
In 1964, he attended Fordham University. He transferred to
the University of Pennsylvania, where he received a degree from Penn’s Wharton
School of Finance and Commerce in 1968.
After graduation, he was employed by his father in his very
lucrative real estate business in New York. During his employment, Fred Trump’s
company was charged with discrimination in 1973 related to its refusal to rent
apartments to Black Americans. It was later confirmed that rental agents were
required to place a large, red “C” at the top of all applications submitted by
Black men and women.
The case was settled out of court, with Fred Trump agreeing
to eliminate his company’s racist practices.
The continuation of his pitiful life reveals a failed
businessman, a failed, husband, and a man forced to commit multiple crimes to
save his failing “empire.”
What we learned from his early life reveals how he became
the vile, hate-filled bastard he is today.
The fact that he was sent away from his childhood home at
the age of 13 explains his lack of respect for laws and regulations today
His father taught him to be a white supremacist, and a
bigot.
I leave you with the most recent example of how the
mainstream media refuses to expose the “real Donald Trump.” Not once has he
been called what he is, a fascist, a poorly educated old man who knows nothing
about anything, and the greatest mistake in American history.
If you watched “60 Minutes” last Sunday, you saw a heavily edited
interview of the orange buffoon. Remember CBS is ending Stephen Colbert’s late
night talk show next May. He is being cancelled, but not because of poor
ratings, because he exposes Trump every night. The new owners of CBS,
Paramount, are members of Trump’s loyal and devoted oligarchs.
When Nora O’Donnell asked Trump questions, he either refused
to give a direct answer, or told another lie. She did the same thing she did
when she was a personality on “CBS This Morning” during the 2016 campaign: she
refused to call him a liar, and allowed him to make a fool of her, her network,
and his ignorant supporters.
This is why I write this blog. The American people deserve
to know the truth.
I leave you with a confession. It is my nature to make every
effort to find something good to say about everyone whose name appears in my
blog. Read my stories about Richard Nixon. However, I have looked at every
tidbit of information I can find about Donald John Trump, and I cannot find any
situation in his life that benefited someone other than himself. The very fact
that he committed multiple actions of adultery while married to all three wives
proves that he is entirely lacking in integrity, void of concern for the pain
he causes others, and fails to possess a moral compass. It is very likely that
we will soon learn beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump is also a pedophile.
