About the Whining of the Press

I notice a number of newspapers are issuing alarming editorials about the supposed threat of President Donald Trump to a free press. 

The only threat Trump is to the press is to expose most of the “mainstream media” as propagandists for the Democrat Party that put “the narrative” above the basics of professional journalism.  And Trump and the rest of us have the right to exercise our Constitutional free speech to call out what is really the Democrat News Media for that.  Personally, I am glad we have a President with the backbone to fight back against the lies and distortions of the Democrat News Media, unlike the weak Bushes.

Speaking of free speech, where was the concern of these newspapers when Obama Regime weaponized the IRS, the FBI, the DOJ, the CIA etc. etc. against political opponents?  Where is their concern when speakers are driven off campus after campus?  When conservative and even centrist students fear to oppose campus totalitarians?  Where is their concern when masked Antifa black shirts violently attack free speech?  Where is their concern when more and more non-establishment rightist accounts are banned from Facebook and Twitter?

But if a President calls out fake news media for being propagandists and liars for the Democrat Party, oh, that is just TERRIBLE! 

So whiny Leftist, lib and establishment newspapers, you have the right to freedom of the press, and I hope you always will in spite of the anti-freedom forces you support.  But the rest of us to which you are doing a public DISservice have the right to free speech, too.  And we and the President are right to call you out for the frauds and charlatans you are. 

HERE WE GO AGAIN: 588 Mostly Democrat Votes “Found” in Ohio Special Election

What’s a close election (or even not so close. See the 2016 Presidential Election.) without Democrats trying to steal it afterwards?  In the Ohio Special Election for CD 12, 588 “missing” votes were “found” after election night.  And most of them are for the Democrat Danny O’Conner, of course.

This reminds me of the Washington State stolen gubernatorial election in 2004 in which “missing” votes were “found” in heavily Democrat King County.  (Is there any evil Seattle hasn’t inflicted on the rest of that state?) Or, heck, it reminds me of LBJ’s Box 13 back in the 1948 Democrat Primary (which back then was pretty much the election in one party Democrat Texas):

…Box 13 in Duval County provided Lyndon Johnson the victory margin as the gangly congressman from Johnson City won a hotly contested Senate race by 87 votes.

Six days after election, authorities in Alice (now in Jim Wells County) “discovered” 202 additional ballots in precinct #13 that had not been counted.

Johnson received 200 of those votes. His opponent, Coke Stevenson, got two.

Stevenson’s razor-thin lead melted away and “Landslide Lyndon,” who believed that the 1941 Senate race had been stolen from him, was the winner in yet another deeply disputed election.

Later, it was reported that the ballots seemed to be written in the same ink. And the voters allegedly voted in alphabetical order.

Johnson never acknowledged that his allies stole the election. But former Texas Observer editor Ronnie Dugger told a story of visiting LBJ in the White House. The then-president whipped out a photo of five good ol’ boys from Alice with the infamous Box 13 sitting on the hood of their vehicle.

Dugger asked LBJ if he had stolen the election.

Laughter.

It’s not funny.  At least not anymore.
