Enemy of the Republic Media Now Openly Mourning That Iran Didn't Kill Americans & Thereby Damage Trump's Political Standing

ABC gloats about Iran's missile strikes, bragging that the media's new boyfriend "Kept its promise:"

World News Tonight anchor David Muir, the network touted that the murderous Iranian regime had "kept its promise" to attack U.S. troops again. It was a comment Muir made more than once.
"For those of you joining us for World News Tonight at this hour, we have just learned, U.S. officials telling ABC News that Iran has kept its promise to retaliate after that deadly drone strike on Iran's top commander," Muir announced after speaking with foreign correspondent Ian Pannell, who heard two explosions near him.
As he shifted to introducing chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz, Muir pushed Iranian propaganda in suggesting the U.S. was responsible for an "act of war." Of course, there was no mention of the Iranian-orchestrated assault on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad or General Qasem Soleimani's repeated efforts to kill Americans.
Raddatz, who had spoken with Iran's foreign minister earlier in the day and lobbed softballs, marveled at the swiftness of the Iranian attack on U.S. troops. "Javad Zarif told me just hours ago that they would take action against the United States. He said, 'Iran is very patient. We will do it at a time and place of our choosing,'" she reported.

NBC literally mourned the death of Suleimani, inviting viewers to watch its live coverage of the Revered Military Leader's funeral:

— NBC News (@NBCNews) January 8, 2020

He was responsible for killing more than 600 Americans. The last one was a man named Nawres Waleed Hamid, who worked for the military and was buried last Saturday in Sacramento.

Maggie Haberman is quite obviously heartbroken that there are no dead Americans she can use to agitate against Trump:

— NBC News (@NBCNews) January 8, 2020

And here's a supercut of the seditious media openly cheering on Iran:

Iran's regime can always count on @CNN to push its talking points. Today it gave VP Masoumeh Ebtekar 16 mins to portray the terrorist Soleimani as the victim.@camanpour didn't mention that her guest was Spox for 1979 US Embassy hostage takers

They have their core audience that they will never lose - the hardcore 20% of anti-American communists. They also have a default audience of octogenarians who don't know any better. That little slice of audience will soon leave them, too, over stuff like this.

Their behavior is appalling but it may be helpful. The 20% are going to be communist America-haters no matter what, but they are a visible and huge enemy within that won't shut up and that keeps showing the normals how foul their side is.

I say before and say again - the media get away with this because they are allowed to get away with it. Cut off all White House access, deny access to any Trump administration official, make it clear that anyone connected with the GOP in any way, from McConnell down to Gomer Sweeney, the secretary of the local GOP chapter in North Sodomy, Arizona who so much as looks at a MFM representative will be cut off at the balls and this will stop.

Or just issue an EO revoking their licenses.

You guys kept telling us how stupid and bullish Trump was and how he'd react so crazily to the Ukranian plane getting shot dow- I mean - unfortunately having an accident and blowing itself up. But we've sort of got our pants down and our dicks in our hands over here because that didn't seem to happen.

Some of us over here are starting to get worried. Ahmed said he looked into some of the stuff you've been saying about Trump for 4 years now and it doesn't seem to match up with reality.

We're just getting a little worried is all. Give me a call back.

++++++++++++
Their core audience is two groups:
1) The hardcore 20%. These are the communists and anti-Americans. They may or may not know they are being lied to (I suspect most of them do), but it aligns well. They hate America and want it destroyed and love the MSM for being on board.
2) The default audience of people who don't know any better. These are probably mostly older folks and wine moms. This piece of the audience is almost certainly shrinking as the press exposes what it is.

Hello! Soleimani was literally in Iraq meeting with the Iraqi militia leaders who had just attacked our embassy.

As for proof that Soleimani was up to something -- apart form the embassy attack -- how about what he's been funding in the ME for the past few decades, you guys. Is that enough "proof" he would be attacking again, because it's literally been his job to fight proxy wars with the US for most of his career?
Next they'll ask Trump for proof that the sunrise tomorrow is eminent.

Jimmy Carter and the Democrats made that claim later, when they were trying to claim that Reagan had conspired with the Iranians to continue to hold our people hostage longer than they wanted to. But they never presented a scintilla of evidence that this actually happened. It's more likely that the Iranians were trying to figure out a way out of a situation that they knew was about to cause them a whole lot of trouble.

Boy BFF's wife is a rabid anti-Trumper. Thinks he is Satan. When he asks her what, exactly, Trump has done that is so awful, she cannot articulate it in the least. Just OrangeManBad.

It's a positional good and a tribal marker. She's a 40 year old upper middle class white woman who has to let everyone else know just how tolerant and caring she is in order to assuage her guilt at making damn good money.

I've known her for 20 years now and it's maddening. She's worked her ass off to get to where she is in life but oh no it's privilege and I must help others and she refuses to take any credit for the fact that, hey, I got here because I worked my ass off and earned it.

It's demeaning and she's doing it to herself. I told her once that if she kept telling others she didn't deserve what she had, they'd believe her and respond accordingly. For a supposedly smart woman, that went wooooosh right over her head.

But he's closer to Trump than virtually anyone in the GOP establishment has been in the last three decades. He was practically alone in being skeptical of establishment trade deals and their benefits for the middle class and he was skeptical of American military entanglements abroad long before that position had a significant following in the GOP. For all his imperfections, he doesn't seem worse for the GOP than the Bushes, McCain, and Mittens were.

That wasn't as bad as I expected.

What I find interesting, though, is that at a reading level and the points it is making, it is no different from their normal reportage. I know it is targeted at parents to guide conversations with their children, but the reading level is about the same as any other mainstream press. The only difference is that it is a bit fluffier and, if anything, less extreme than most of their headlines.

My key take-away from reading this: Time writes for children as its basic mode.

209 52 Who the hell is their audience?
Their core audience is two groups:
1) The hardcore 20%. These are the communists and anti-Americans. They may or may not know they are being lied to (I suspect most of them do), but it aligns well. They hate America and want it destroyed and love the MSM for being on board.
2) The default audience of people who don't know any better. These are probably mostly older folks and wine moms. This piece of the audience is almost certainly shrinking as the press exposes what it is.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!)

Number #2 is most correct. You look at cable news demographics, and the viewership is HEAVILY skewed towards older Americans. I think your #1 answer is off, however. The true hardcore leftists hate CNN as much as the right does, believing it to be a corporatist sellout tool of the establishment. Read the websites of the car left, and you'll see many of them think MSNBC is too moderate and a sellout, let alone CNN.

To be fair, we poopooed the unemployment numbers under Obama.

The difference is the BLS is probably as progressive as the IRS, so they have less incentive to help Trump than Obama.

Here's a possible bit of cognitive dissonance.

"Are you a fan of the deep state working against Trump?"

"Oh, yeah!"

"I know, right? They're probably keeping those unemployment numbers artificially high to make him look bad."

241 I'm not a fan of Pat Buchanan. At best, his Archie Bunkerism is counterproductive, and I think those who accuse him of anti-Semitism aren't wrong. But he's closer to Trump than virtually anyone in the GOP establishment has been in the last three decades. He was practically alone in being skeptical of establishment trade deals and their benefits for the middle class and he was skeptical of American military entanglements abroad long before that position had a significant following in the GOP. For all his imperfections, he doesn't seem worse for the GOP than the Bushes, McCain, and Mittens were.

283 Pat B was about 20-years ahead of his time. That said, if his arrival was more timely I have to wonder if he would have gotten bogged-down in some of his apparent (and I use that word intentionally) obsessions with certain people.

In a civilized nation, when they start shooting missiles off, the military would be informing the nation's airports that they should shut down operations until after dawn. It simplifies their air defense solutions if nothing else.

308 80%+ of Iran's exports is oil. They have about 26 ports and around 10 refineries. Trump doesn't need to take out Iran's military. The US can take out some of the ports and refineries and Iran is toast. They are very, very vulnerable. The sanctions have cut oil exports in about half and their currency continues to drop in value like a rock. Iran is in deep doo-doo.

Yet the media continues to pump propaganda at us and want us to believe Iran is super strong, as if they were an equal to the US. Why doesn't the media air video of the chants of "Death to America" from the Iranian parliament. Because the media are an Iranian ally, and an enemy of the US.

349 The left freaks out about Trump because - and this is not a dig at Trump - but he's Chauncey from Being There.

The belief that you must have gone to the right schools, now the right people, rely on the intellentsia (sp), etc, were hallmarks of keeping out the "wrong people" from politics and policies.

Trump comes along, with decades of business experience and no political experience and says: If you want to see something different, stop turning left and turn right once.

Suddenly, decades of career pols and diplomats realize that they don't have anything to sell. . . in large part because Trump isn't buying it. You can only have a willing seller if there is a willing buyer (in normal sense).

Obama would tweet his NCAA picks or "bring our girls back" but get George and the like to lob softballs, so the media also had a willing buyer for their wares. Trump can totally bypass them. Add in "foreign correspondents" who previously brought the world to us each evening, we now can go visit the world.

The simple fact is, these people don't realize the curtain has been pulled back. And once they realize the curtain has been pulled back, they will try even harder to carry on the charade. Why? Because they have no wares that people are willing to buy.

I'm glad to. Every great military writer from Clausewitz back to Sun Tzu has made the point that Unpredictability is the greatest strategic asset any military commander can have. A truly unpredictable commander freezes his enemies in their tracks, and causes them to second guess every move they make. Most people are very predictable, we can't help it, not even when we try not to be.

But Trump has mastered this quality - and it leaves his enemies constantly flat footed, completely unable to anticipate his next move. It's one of his greatest advantages.

380 Sharon and Our country is screwed,

Opposition to Trump resembles a religion in that it is not amenable to empirical evidence. Essentially, the mass media, entertainment, and academia, have created a modern religion. Religion in the U.S. used to have a social class tinge in that some congregations were more wealthy, had higher social cachet, etc. than others and the more wealthy congregations tended to the upper classes and their needs.

Many of the left Defectors from those congregations eventually became totally secular but then attaching religious significance to political dogma instead. So just as a faithful member of a church might ascribe faith to the idea of the Trinity, a secularist would ascribe similar faith to the theory of intersectionality and identity.

Thus, anyone deviating from that faith would be a heretic and dangerous as they might lead others astray. Essentially then, secular leftism has become its own religion. The unfortunate thing is that clashes between religions or schisms within a religion generally have resulted in war in history. Doubt it will be any different with secularism.

In March 2013, Cupp pulled out of a CPAC appearance because of its stance on homosexuality and gay marriage, saying that she "became increasingly uncomfortable [aligning] with an event, a great event in many ways, that had nonetheless attempted to marginalize a really important group of conservatives working on our behalf."[15] She has since joined Young Conservatives for the Freedom to Marry.[16]

Those rejoicing in such terror, and giving aid and comfort to terrorists, are fighting for the enemy, against whom we are at war.

486 True. But so did Kennedy and to a lesser extent, Bush the younger. But I think he went to Wharton to learn, as some do. But I believe some go there - and the Ivy league - for connections, obviously. He wanted to be his own man and make it on his own.

They were also deployed elsewhere for good reason. We didn't need that capability against the regional adversaries- until now.

But what did missing us with missiles accomplish? To prove their army has missiles? I think we kinda knew that. To prove that their missiles could reach Iraq? Kinda knew that, too.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at January 08, 2020 01:42 PM (KZzsI)

I agree with you, although there are some things we can safely assume, based on strict logic:

1st, did the crash happen? We can assume yes; there's no rational motive for Iran to make up a crash and make 176 people disappear, especially when some are foreign nationals.
2nd, if there are lies, who's telling them? Iran controlled the launch point, Iran controlled the crash site, Iran controlled the airspace. No one else has a hand in this game.
3rd, if Iran is lying, why? This is always the easiest to figure out - because they know the truth, and know it will hurt them. Evidence - they will not release the black box.

With just those 3 assumptions, we can go a long way.

The Dems only do what they do because they know they can get away with it in the court of public opinion, abetted by the media.

All I want is a media that distrusts both sides of the political spectrum, holding everyone to the same standard. I'm asking for too much, it seems, so begone with all of them.

Meaningless statistically, I know, but at Thanksgiving my brother, who's been a Democrat his whole life (a union guy) turned to me after dinner and said incredulously, "Can you believe all the crazy shit they're saying about Trump on the news?"

He meant it as in "They've lost it." I was pretty shocked.

And this was at Thanksgiving, during the Impeachment ramp-up.

I think their increasingly insane behavior is actually accelerating the red-pilling of a lot of people.

It didn't used to be that way. We were very alike politically. She was an Army officer in a previous life (before kids). The change is completely since she went onto Facebook. Kids are all grown and out of the house now, and she actually went on that platform to keep up with what they were doing in their lives. Now it is all friends of friends of friends on her feed (that the right word?) and most are Vermont liberals. I glance over once in a while and it is unbelievable the garbage posted on that platform. Trying to demand she get off it would not go well. Whoever up thread said it is an addiction is correct.
